This is the first thing people think of when they hear India.

Это первое, что приходит людям на ум, когда они слышат слово «Индия».

So on my left and right, you'll see a bunch of shacks, just trash everywhere.

Слева и справа от меня вы увидите кучу лачуг, повсюду просто мусор.

What is the dirtiest country in the world?

Какая страна в мире самая грязная?

And as an Indian, it sucks.

И как индийцу, мне это очень не нравится.

Not only because it makes us look bad, but also because it's true.

Не только потому, что это выставляет нас в невыгодном свете, но и потому, что это правда.

We can't escape it.

It is a part of us.

It is us.

But what if I told you India was not always like this?

When we read ancient foreign accounts, India was not a spectacularly polluted place.

In fact, many travelers describe it as cleaner than their homelands.

While Indians bathed daily, Europeans only bathed a few times a year during the colonial era.

So that brings us to this contradiction.

How did India go from this to this?

And even more importantly, can

Indians actually solve today's calamitous pollution crisis?

This is what we'll find out today in a story of how a civilization that exalted purity succumbed to its own filth.

So let's start with the elephants in the room that everyone likes to blame for India's pollution crisis.

Colonialism and caste.

Now colonialism was indeed catastrophic for India.

Before colonization, India accounted for roughly a quarter of global GDP, but by the time the British left, it plummeted to 4%.

This was caused by contrasting forces.

While Great Britain birthed the Industrial Revolution, they systematically prevented the subcontinent from industrializing itself.

Historian Will Durant writes how the British used tariffs to crush domestic Indian textile manufacturing and other industries,

forcing the country to recede back into agricultural pursuits.

And on top of that, they decimated the farmers themselves with even more taxes and restrictions.

The Indian economy couldn't create that value add we see in developed or manufacturing economies because of the stranglehold of the Raj.

And as a result, extreme poverty nearly doubled during British rule, from 23 % in 1810 to 50 % at India's independence.

I can keep going on about stats about how like the British Empire was bad, but here's where I need to tell you an uncomfortable truth.

it's all cope.

If you look at a lot of the paintings or even archival footage from British India, cities and towns are fairly clean.

More clean than modern India in many cases.

Now, some people will push back

that a lot of this was due to these places having European quarters

and how the British use sanitation drives to justify demolitions and social control.

That's true.

But even the princely states or villages with more autonomy were quite clean as well.

Credit to those Indians actually.

Princes like those of Barda and Mysore created sanitary departments and city improvement trusts to enforce cleanliness.

So we can't pin all this on colonialism.

Now let's address the other elephant in the room, caste.

The common explanation is that

Indians don't care about common spaces or even each other because they're divided by caste.

The thought basically goes, why should I care about that part of town?

It has nothing to do with my caste.

I only care about my caste quarters.

And like, I understand where this idea is coming from.

It is logical.

But the thing is, history proves it completely wrong.

Now I've gone through like thousands of ancient foreign accounts at this point via a series called The India They Saw.

Strongly recommend you guys read it.

And whether it's the Greek Megasthenes or the Chinese Fashian or the Berber Ibn Battuta,

none of them did the classic foreigner observation of India today where they look around

and wonder why is there garbage and pollution everywhere?

In fact, a lot of them were actually surprised by how wondrous and rich and high -minded India was.

Hell, even a British painter, William Hodges, who came with the East India Company, notes that Indians were exceptionally clean, even in the villages.

Yes, I mean an employee on the literal payroll of colonizers is telling you that pre -colonial India was cleaner than England.

This is a really crazy mothafuck at this point.

And we haven't even gotten to indigenous Indian ideas about cleanliness.

In the ancient

Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, one of the pillars of yogic discipline was shaucha, or purity.

Various scriptures mandate daily bathing, with the Padma Purana claiming that one who does not bathe in the morning is a sinner fit to suffer.

So to summarize, a civilization that mandated daily bathing as religious law,

that foreign observers described as wealthy and well -ordered for over 2 ,000 years, this civilization's pollution crisis?

It cannot be ancient.

It has to be modern.

But here's where I'll level with you.

Colonialism and caste do hold a piece of the puzzle.

The link with colonialism is direct.

It caused massive poverty.

More poverty, more pollution.

But caste is something more subtle.

For millennia, caste by itself didn't make

Indians build mountains of trash on the streets.

What it did was plant a seaweed.

It created a lack of a concept of commons, of a united society owning something between them, something they were all responsible for.

So what watered that seed and made it into a plant of pollution?

What force capitalized on that plane of poverty?

It's ironically something that was good for India.

It's freedom.

Here's how freedom made India filthy.

Look at this diagram.

It's called Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.

Maslow believed

that humans needed to fulfill one set of needs before moving

higher up the pyramid to fulfill others from physical needs to safety to love to self -esteem to self -actualization.

Now this was made for individuals but let's apply it to Indian society.

As we pointed out earlier India was dirt poor at independence.

Not just that but India was partitioned on religious lines.

While Pakistan became an Islamic state and cleansed its non -Muslim population India chose secularism.

That meant India had to manage the fallout between various communities and try to build a state, an economy, and of course, a united Indian society.

That is extremely difficult and had to do all this being in the throes of poverty.

Yet we cannot solely blame the British for this.

At the republic's onset, India embraced something called Fabian socialism.

This ideology was en vogue amongst decolonizing countries as capitalism was simply seen as an extension of colonialism.

Now that's It's not necessarily true, but one can empathize with this viewpoint,

considering how rapacious colonialism was and the overlap of the colonial administration with capitalist entities like the East India Company.

However, even the father of Marxism, Karl Marx, realized an iron truth here.

Capitalism must come before socialism.

100

Without capital and wealth, there is nothing to redistribute for socialism.

101

Thus, India didn't even progress to capitalism.

102

It rotted in feudalism, where agricultural extraction eclipsed wealth and innovation.

103

This dynamic prevented India from growing or industrializing.

104

So instead, India would languish and remain in poverty.

105

Indians remained at the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy.

106

And naturally, with more poverty and more pollution.

107

But that's not the whole story.

108

Poverty cannot explain it all.

109

Other countries like

110

China and Singapore were also poor and polluted, yet they radically transformed their level of societal cleanliness.

111

The big difference is something that has a great reputation, and I think deservedly so.

112

The difference is democracy.

113

Now India embraced full democracy very early, just three years after independence.

114

This meant every man and woman, every individual from every community had an equal vote.

115

Now the thing is, India's democracy has a distortion to it, diversity.

116

As not just a country, but civilization, India is extremely diverse.

117

Thousands of castes, hundreds of languages, every single religion in the world was present in India.

118

But people would not vote as individuals or on issues like development.

119

They voted on community lines and for the freebies that socialism promised.

120

Let's dial into that concept of commons we discussed earlier.

121

When people are poor and the state is weak, their social security is primarily their community.

122

So voting on community lines has tangible benefits.

123

Your castman will favor you if in power.

124

He'll cut some more welfare for you, defend you against riots.

125

Hell, even beyond politics, caste and community gave people rituals and traditions that mattered.

126

Caste was akin to ethnicity.

127

So in democracy, Indians retreated into their community rather than embracing unity.

128

This meant common areas, common infrastructure, common markets were not the priority for Indians.

129

The priority was the spaces, infrastructure, and markets of one's community.

130

You'll even notice this inside Indian houses which are fairly clean

131

and hygienic but step outside into the streets and it looks like a literal war zone.

132

And part of that is because Indians now began living in mixed developments next to people of different communities.

133

And with no concept of commons, why would they care what's outside their homes?

134

So that brings us to the question, why doesn't India just copy Singapore, China and other countries that escaped poverty and pollution.

135

These countries use law and order to crack down on pollution.

136

So why can't India?

137

Here's a messed up part that we have to explore next.

138

If the government cracks down on pollution, there's a good chance that they're going to lose elections.

139

So let's dive deeper into Indian Democracy to understand this phenomenon.

140

Okay, so I have to admit, when I landed in Mumbai, I was a total of four.

141

I told my driver to go to the main attraction with my fellow friends, the world's largest term, Darvi.

142

Now, Darvi is important not just because of this world record, but what it tells us about these relationships with poverty, policing, and also democracy.

143

Darby has been the target of redevelopment since 1985.

144

Yeah, that's 40 years back.

145

Back then, Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi allocated 100 poor rupees for Mumbai's redevelopment, with a significant count to 60 for Darby's upliftment.

146

But they didn't work.

147

So in 2000, the state government created a redevelopment board.

148

This also completely failed for nearly two days.

149

Real redevelopment only started happening a couple years back when billionaire

150

Delta Madani's company was awarded the rights to Dalvi's redevelopment.

151

But progress is still slow, and redevelopment is still terrific.

152

The core question here is why has it taken decades for the Indian government to clear this slum, this epitome of Indian film,

153

the subject of movies and straight up poverty pornography

154

that foreigners pay to go on tours of just to see how dirty it is.

155

Y 'all let's peel back to my trip and see where I learn from later.

156

Pushback against Garvey's redevelopment comes from a few different places.

157

Let's start off with the most important thing, economics.

158

The Indian government is giving Garvey residents a free flat to relocate to, which is usually bigger and more clean than their current living food.

159

But many residents don't want a flat.

160

In fact, when they're actually given that flat, Please work it out and just go back living in their place in Darby.

161

Why is this?

162

Well, Darby is more than just a dirty place in the middle of Mumbai.

163

It is a market.

164

Specifically, Darby has five million industries.

165

Leatherworking, earthen pottery, wheat, fifth -fifon cube for workers, and the infamous scrap which is sold off over a second.

166

Darby's redevelopment is a threat to these local industries as they've been organically in different quarters as well.

167

These mini bazaars, workshops, and tourist places are apparently not beginning to plant for redevelopment.

168

This is why many locals are resistant to.

169

This is actually the most understandable aspect.

170

The other is an element that is darker, engaged to the heart of Indian heart.

171

A couple years ago, I wrote about this thing which I call Egyptism.

172

And no, it's not that whole white supremacist is it mean going on these days.

173

Egyptism is a phenomenon that

174

Indians glass all teeth by claiming that their identity or honor is being attacked.

175

Sounds weird, but let's get through some again.

176

Many times you'll see these crazy NGO types complain that the redevelopment of Darby is Islamophobe,

177

or caste -based, or other unrelated identitarian visitors just because Darby has a high number of Muslims,

178

or certain caste, or whatever identity they don't point out.

179

To see is, many people do actually lock onto it, and it causes them to entrench their positions of being against the felonies.

180

This sounds the same but it happens across India.

181

In Punjab, farmers gain a trust -tops at the end of poverty, which causes gargantuan levels of smog that suffocate neighboring areas like this.

182

When the government tries to crack down on such practices, the farmers claim that the government is getting anti -Kanjabi or against their caste,

183

even against the Sikh religion, when none of this has anything to do with caste, or ethnicity, or religion.

184

In the sacred city of Varanasi, redevelopment of infimously disgusting streets and safely polluted holy areas has garnered pushback from locals,

185

claiming their honour, their ism, is being insulted and that the soul of Varanasi is being destroyed.

186

Some even accuse the government of being against their caste.

187

In an obvious scenario, Bahri,

188

Kanjai, Varanasi, and beyond, the locals threaten to vote for the opposition if development and anti -pollution efforts are not stopped.

189

I have to stop and say, God damn, India can be super fusted and infeorating at times.

190

But that's also what makes it so interesting.

191

Like here you can see that even when India's politicians try to enforce the law, when they try to liberally clean India up,

192

it's Indian society itself that pushes them.

193

And it's this type of diverse democratic dynamic that authoritative countries like

194

China, single -party city -states like

195

So, where any developed democracy do not have a place.

196

India, Indian society, the Indian democracy are playing and hard on it.

197

So, is there any hope or is India deemed to see the bent of the world?

198

Yes, there is a gem.

199

A city that used to be infamous for that third place was recently crowned as India's famous city.

200

And it's here where we have some new lessons on doing India well.

201

In the 1980s, my parents moved to a small city in the West Indian state of Gujarat called Surat.

202

Back then, it was just starting to boom.

203

Jobs were flowing in, Surat's diamond and textile industries were taking off.

204

The city was shining on the coast of the Arabian Sea.

205

But the infrastructure and governance couldn't keep up with the city's population growth.

206

Overcrowding and open sewers began to define the city.

207

My parents told me that they remember rats the size of cats scurrying around the streets and sometimes even in their house.

208

Surat was becoming one of India's most polluted cities, and it all came to a head in 1994.

209

Monsoon flooding caused the open sewers to overflow, and not just with waste, but also the bodies of dead rats that lived in its depths.

210

This caused an outbreak of the pneumonic plague.

211

The news of this plague spread like wildfire, not just through word of mouth, but also through the Indian media who worsened the mania.

212

This caused 300 ,000 people to flee Surat, the largest exodus in India since the Kashmiri Hindu exodus of 1990.

213

The irony, only 56 people died in this plague.

214

And it's actually this contradiction of 56 deaths versus 300 ,000

215

people leaving where we first see the shimmer of a clean Surat.

216

One of the reasons the death toll was so low was not only because of the migration, but also the quick actions of the state government.

217

Paramilitary enforced quarantine while the state government rushed antibiotics to combat the plague.

218

Nonetheless, Surath as a whole suffered greatly in economic terms.

219

The migration out and lockdown caused 600 million dollars in losses, a mammoth amount for a third world city.

220

A Burjian commercial center now became a backwater.

221

So the government of Surath brought someone in to fix the city and unlock its great potential.

222

His name was S .R.

223

Rao or Rao Sahib as he came to be known.

224

Rao Sahib was tasked with cleaning up the city, literally.

225

When Rao first met his staff, they complained that the problem was genetic.

226

They noted how they'd send workers to clean streets at 9pm, and by 10pm the people would have just made a new garbage pile.

227

So Rao went to these places personally.

228

He waited in the garbage and sludge piles with his own feet to make a point to society.

229

He would call his officials to clean the mess while he watched.

230

But this type of individual signaling and surveillance can't clean an entire city, even if Rao was leading from the front.

231

To learn how Rao succeeded, we have to look at this chart.

232

You can see how

233

China and the US have a lot more local government employees versus India, who concentrates more power at the center and especially state level.

234

This imbalance causes a lower level of accountability.

235

While the center tends to national interests, state governments in India are frequently the biggest dens of corruption and inefficiency.

236

This causes the understaffed and stretched local officials to be reduced to equally corrupt and or overworked pawns.

237

So what Rao did was place more emphasis on local governance.

238

He created something he called the 6x6x6 system.

239

Rao divided Surath into six zones.

240

Each zone had six districts.

241

Crucially, each zone leader was empowered with more executive authority,

242

so they could make quicker decisions so that those under them in their six districts could execute faster as well.

243

Rao introduced a redressal system for reporting to district authorities so they could respond quickly.

244

He bent bureaucratic levers to introduce an administrative charge for nuisance, basically a fine for lawyering.

245

Later, the city was equipped with CCTVs that linked license plates to owners

246

so if someone throws litter out of the car they get fined.

247

Solid waste removal went from 35 % to 95 % during his tenure.

248

Disease rates went down 70%.

249

And soon Surat was being labeled the cleanest city in India.

250

So now consider this.

251

Why did that factor we talked about earlier, Izathism, not cause an electoral backlash here?

252

While Rao was a bureaucrat, so not a politician, if the people got angry enough, they could goad politicians into transferring it.

253

But they didn't.

254

And the reason ties back to the plague.

255

The damage it caused in Surat affected everyone.

256

Hindu, Muslim, upper caste, lower caste.

257

Legit everyone.

258

This crisis made the city realize they had to change.

259

That they had to stop politics over petty identity honor battles and instead elevate priorities like combating pollution.

260

And that kind of sucks.

261

The reason I'm saying it sucks is because it takes a massive crisis for Indians to change.

262

Does that mean we should send a plague to every Indian city?

263

I don't think so, but when I scroll the internet today, some people seem to have that idea.

264

I mean, anti -Indian sentiment is kind of off the rails nowadays.

265

But let's rest with that sentiment for a second.

266

What if it is that anti -Indian sentiment that may just be the crisis that spurs change for Indians?

267

What if the internet could make India clean?

268

In 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched one of the most ambitious cleanliness campaigns in human history, Swatsh Bharat or Clean India,

269

a national mission to transform India's relationship with not just pollution, but also human hygiene.

270

The government built over 100 million toilets, they ran awareness campaigns, they even got

271

Bollywood involved, they made cleanliness a matter of national pride.

272

But the thing is, it failed.

273

While infrastructure improved, people's behavior didn't.

274

When all of India was given toilet coverage, many people still wanted to defecate in the open.

275

The central government tried to push cleaning drives, but state and local governments didn't follow through.

276

And while some did try to clean their streets, more kept polluting them.

277

India's pollution is as much a cultural problem as it is a policy problem.

278

So let's come back to Maslow.

279

At independence, over 50 % of Indians lived in extreme poverty.

280

Today, it's below 5%.

281

390 million people lifted out of poverty in a single generation.

282

That's more than the entire population of the United States.

283

Indians are racing up Maslow's pyramid now.

284

And as survival becomes less of a daily crisis, something else starts to matter.

285

Self -esteem.

286

How the world sees you.

287

How you see yourself.

288

32 million Indians traveled abroad in 2025 and hundreds of millions more are seeing the world through their phones.

289

And it's not just Tokyo and London they're comparing themselves to anymore.

290

It's Nairobi, Hanoi, Medellin, cities that were synonymous with chaos and poverty a generation ago, now beating Indian metros on basic cleanliness.

291

So when young

292

Indians see this, something cracks.

293

This searing hot shame is going viral within India.

294

And shame, like the plague, is indiscriminate.

295

Indians being insulted for their pollution doesn't target people by religion, caste, or ethnicity.

296

It lands on all Indians simultaneously.

297

That is a commons, and for the first time it's being forced on us whether we like it or not.

298

Recall that the Suurath Plague created a shared crisis that dissolved Izathism long enough for Rao to do his work.

299

Now the internet is also spreading a plague.

300

That not just of anti -Indian sentiment, but the truth of India's reality, of its inadequacy of its shortcomings, of its broken potential.

301

So what should

302

Indians do with all the shame?

303

Because we are, and I say this as an Indian myself, a race of world -class complainers.

304

We think that whining is wisdom, that being cynical is like the ultimate expression of intelligence, that expressing the same loser think,

305

that our parents, our uncles, our aunties, our dadas, our daddies, our baes, our bands, everyone says the same thing in a pathetically scornful

306

and sarcastic way that some people think makes us rebellious or innovative in our thought.

307

My friend Samyak really hit me with a zinger when he told me this.

308

That every complaint

309

Indians make about India now is nothing different than what

310

Indians 20, 50, 100, 200 years ago made.

311

There's nothing new about this at all.

312

What India needs is more Rao Sahibs.

313

It needs more Afro's Shahs who organize cleanups of Mumbai's beaches.

314

It needs more Abdul Kalams who dare to dream.

315

It needs more leaders who do not look away at India's shame and instead urged citizens to overcome it.

316

It needs more average

317

Indians who are willing to make a difference, to speak up, to sacrifice.

318

Because the question was never whether India could be clean.

319

Surat and India's past have answered that.

320

The question is whether enough

321

Indians are done whining and ready to do the work.

/w/ — губы округлены, это не /v/: awareness /əˈwɛɹ.nəs/, welfare /ˈwɛlˌfɛɚ/, equally /ˈiːkwəli/, wisdom /ˈwɪzdəm/, wealthy /ˈwɛl.θi/
Звонкие согласные в конце слова — не оглушайте их: plague /plɛɡ/, garbage /ˈɡɑɹ.bɪd͡ʒ/, bend /bɛnd/, divide /dɪˈvaɪd/, pyramid /ˈpɪɹ.ə.mɪd/

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
