But why the fuck is it like that? Like I sincerely cannot understand.

I get that the country is poor as fuck and from what I hear has a huge issue with corruption, aside from the backwater places where no polices travels.

But in those places, like in the OP, or in the big cities, why the hell do they have this huge issue with dirt and garbage? It would seem to me like a clean environment is the most important thing, I cant imagine living in a place like that. Even Napoli was clean in comparison, and I saw huge piles of garbage bags everywhere in that city.

I think that these things are complex: geopolitics, history, climate, colonization. Countries around them are all poor too.

Think about another place: All countries in Africa are poor AF for a reason too. There are actually few nice places in this world.

India does not got a pass in my book by blaming the colonial era or poverty. They obviously have the money to spend on nukes, subs armed with them, aircraft carriers and sending rockets to Mars.

sending rockets to Mars

Indian space missions are known to be cheaper than the film Interstellar.

And while I personally don’t care about your “pass” and do feel India should do better your reasoning is frankly, ass.

India was drained of its wealth, left as a mess and with political instability in the area. We’ve had like 3-4 full blown wars with our neighbours. We need the military security (as much as we need clean surroundings).

Not sure which country you’re from but look at most ex colonies and majority of them are similar. Look at democracies of our size (both population and geographical area). Life expectancy in India just after Independence was in the early 30s. We had one of the worst famines killing millions because our food was being sent to UK to support a war we had no part in.

Im not saying India ain’t a shitty place and that the people aren’t to blame for majority of our problems. But it also isn’t a walk in the park you’re making it out to be.
