Brah, having been to Northern India, it is a decay of the value of human life.
Nobody gives a shit about cleanliness; there’s garbage and vermin everywhere, open sewage, people burning tires and chemicals on the streets.
Nobody gives a shit about ambulances, they don’t make way for them, they bathe in the Ganges river where there are literal corpses floating nearby. They literally shit on the beaches.
The South is better, but holy hell, never returning to the North.
This is how food deserts get created…
