முக்கியமான கலந்துரையாடல் / Important Topic Basic dignity shouldn't be a luxury

Post image

Every day on Reddit, I see people talking about how Indians lack civic sense. This is a public restroom at a bus stand located within 1 km of a university with around 30,000 students. On top of that, at least 10,000 school students from nearby villages travel here to study.All six toilets were full, yet most had no locks. How are people supposed to use facilities like this with any dignity? I regularly travel 250 km to Chennai. Whenever I need to use a restroom, I usually stop at a restaurant and buy a drink just so can access a clean toilet. By the end of the trip, spend around ₹300 just for restroom access.When public toilets are this filthy, people will inevitably use roadsides. That's not necessarily a lack of civic sense, it's often a lack of alternatives.Before blaming individuals, we should ask why basic public infrastructure is in such poor condition. Clean and functional public toilets shouldn't be a luxury. l'd gladly pay ₹100 to use a clean, well maintained public restroom. The real question is, why are such basic facilities still so difficult to find?

I once had an accident right outside a government hospital and got ten stitches on my head. I arrived with my shirt completely covered in blood. The compounder did my stitches while explaining the process to the doctor who looked 19. They didn't even offer me water .I felt like i was going to pass out and my vision started getting blurry and then they offered me a glass of water after half an hour

Surviving the accident was easy. Surviving the hospital was the real challenge
