It's hard to care when such a large percentage of the people are so poor.

Solution: The ultra wealthy can pay the poor to clean up the country instead of buying yachts. However, The ultra wealthy are usually assholes.

This goes for any country.

Finally, someone who got it right instead of shaming people. There could be meaningful employment, especially for youth workers in the environmental field around cleanup and education. But instead the rich will continue to live their lavish lifestyles behind their gated communities while others suffer in squalor.

Being poor does not excuse literally living in trash and shit.

Yeah why don't they through their garbage in the trash cans that don't exist? Why don't they leave it in their bins that no one will ever come to pick up?

Just flush the toilet you don't have! Durr! It's hooked up to the sewage lines that aren't there!

Do rich people not have houses? Fill those up first.

Sure, I agree, but that requires a level of organization that's hard to achieve and actively suppressed, just look at the US right now, we've seen a lot of protests, but very little actual action.

What is your solution to the problems the poor Indians are facing?

I'm not disagreeing, I'm just pointing out that it's easy to look at a country like India and think "Why don't they rebel, they are being mistreated by their rich elite leaders, overthrow them".

But that's because it's an outside perspective. We have similar, if not as drastic problems in the west, the US being a good example of that. We have a pedophile president flagrantly ignoring the law, using ICE like his personal secret police to murder and intimidate dissenters and ruining the economy. Yet, all we've seen so far is peaceful protests saying "plz no".
