> in fact they don't cover how bad the things actually are i read a travel report from chinese who went to the ganges. it is so much worse than the memes and stereotypes imply. you have rotten human corpses floating by, washing ashore, with no one removing them. they are living in shit with all the cow crap everywhere. wild dogs carrying corpses out of the river to feast on them. they simply throw their dead into the river or (a bit better) burn them on a pile of poop and then throw the remains into the river. you can even read western students, from the most pozzed sections, going there, looking at it, with the max amount of brainwashing and rose tinted glasses, and writing about: > the students said they found the trip emotionally challenging at times, but blaines guidance and decades of experience processing such events helped steady them > you can read about all this stuff until youre blue in the face, but theres nothing like being there and watching, says blaine, professor (teaching) of gender and sexuality studies.   es/death-on-the-ganges/ shit is wild. the whole "it's only a part of india" can't compensate for that, because why does the "better" part allow them to do this? hinduism is barely any better then aztecs were with their human sacrifices.
