I watched two Indian movies in two days, because I heard that it’s better to be at home and movies on a rainy day!
The one I watched today is called "Toilet Hero", which once again refreshed my three views on the country of India.
According to statistics, in India, there are 600 million people who do not have toilets in their homes. This is unbelievable to me who grew up in China. Of course, it is also related to cultural differences. They think it is blasphemous to build toilets, defecate, etc. at home. On the contrary, they will solve physical problems in the jungle, on the roadside, in the Ganges River. For men, this is nothing, but women are forced to The day has not yet dawned, the long way to go, and the risk of being peeped or violated by scheming people, just to solve the most basic physiological problems, so it seems that for women, it is true Very unfair!
Then I went online to learn about the toilet culture in India. Indians don’t use toilet paper after going to the toilet. In “Toilet Heroes”, the women who go to the toilet collectively in the early morning will always bring a water bottle in their hands. Washing by hand after going to the toilet, and Indians also use their hands to eat, this picture is a bit smelly... ugh~ but they seem to be very clear, which hand eats, which hand is.... (not Described)
Although this film is adapted from real events, it also contributed to the promotion of the toilet revolution in India to a certain extent, and solved some women's toilet problems, but it is still a way to completely change the culture and concepts of a country for thousands of years. A tough battle. However, India can expose its own problems to the world in such an open manner, which can also be said to be a cultural openness.
It's just that my impression of India is the same as most of the people I know. I like to urinate everywhere, my behavior is particularly dirty, my beliefs are supremely sacred, and the status of women is very low.... One that is compatible with the cleanest and dirtiest The absurd country "India".
