Ah, a typical ad hominem. It's not outdated. The numbers are still in favor of almost half of Indian's population not having access to a toilet. A simple Google search will learn that the program introduced by the government has mixed results and even though they are throwing massive amounts of money into the construction of said toilets, there is barely any reform going on in education or in the typical household where defecating in public is still considered normal. It will take a few generations to get to the roots of the cultural problem. I have been to India recently, New Delhi even, and more than once I was greeted with people defecating in public. Even outside the perimeters of the designated defecation streets.
Some of you are just unable to wrap your head around the fact that 5 numbers or 2 business trips don't make you an expert on the "cultural problems" of a country.
Somehow the startup ecosystem is doing just fine in SF even with all the drug addicts and people shitting on the street[1] over there. But the same problem is a dealbreaker for the startup ecosystem of India? Like do you really not see the problem with your reasoning here?
During my commute, I walk around one of the most expensive real estate in the world. I am frequently greeted by people shooting up drugs on that street. The govt has been throwing immense amount of money at the problem.
mass shooting threat is throughout the usa. don't throw in numbers to justify your points. average American does get affected by mass shooting, directly or indirectly
There are no "designated defecation streets". Stop bullshitting here. At least the poor in India aren't filled with the filth that some of you carry in your rotten minds.
