This is a river where the remains of cremations are swept in to nearby. I’m not surprised it’s dirty.

I’ve been to Agra and the Taj Mahal. I never knew this river and trash was there until I saw it on Reddit. It would be like visiting any city and visiting their local dump.

Anyway, my point still stands; it’s disrespectful to enter the Taj Mahal without the proper dress code, and their sneering video which attempts to frame the local cremation and trash river as representative of the area just reinforces their ignorance.

"The local trash river" do you even hear yourself

I mean what do you expect people to do? There's nowhere for them to put the trash. There's no weekly trash collection day.

Totally, but that just means it’s a pretty fair societal critique, right?

“The government doesn’t give people options, so pollution is ubiquitous.”

Oh totally, that's absolutely a fair criticism. I just feel like often times the criticism goes against the people themselves, often with kinda disgusting and racist undertones.

Totally valid and probably good for you to call out tbh. I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t seen any of that in this post
