One day on a chat:
Indian1: wow, your tour snaps are great. Everyplace is beautiful, except India :(
Indian2: That's not fair, I love India n its beauty. Just because other places are new to us, they have a diff charm.
Indian1: lol, I meant clean
Indian2: yeah India will get cleaner day by day; it's up to us to not throw garbage on the roads
Indian1: where is de place on roads to throw anything, he he, jk. But yea you are right, India rocks.
Another Indian has stated her status to be: Once a Indian, always one...., cant grow out of it!!!!
The point is; are we ever going to grow out it? Out of being a typical Indian! We all love our country and want the best for our country and our countrymen so we always complain about the lack of cleanliness and need of better infrastructure. But do we contribute towards it? So dont we become educated illiterates?
No, I’m not in a mood to give a lecture about it, or for that matter play the blame game (uneducated people / lower class people create the litter) or the excuse game (I don’t want to litter on the road but I don’t have an option or how can I stop everyone else).
Nope, I would prefer to be practical and discuss ways in which it is genuinely possible for an Indian to behave as a literate and make our country litter free.
1. Doesn’t mean you have lecture around everyone throwing litter, but would help you could to encourage use of dustbins or garbage bags in your friend circle.
2. Carry your own garbage bag. That could be an inspiration to others.
3. Don’t just preach but use the dustbins available on the station platform and bus depots, even though it means walking a bit.
4. If there are no dustbins available and you really need to throw, look around for a corner where other’s like you have thrown the litter (spreading the litter has les chances of getting cleaned) A corner with litter has more chances of getting cleaned. (doesn’t mean u use it as an option always)
5. Behave like a literate, READ signboards and FOLLOW them. Following instructions is more than half the work done.
I don’t think it’s really so difficult to behave like a literate and not like a ‘LITTER’ate.
