NSFW The Ganges in India is full of dead bodies

[SongExotic2]

Sometimes I dont ask what it is. I just eat it, never had anything i didnt like. except the fish.

Aside from prawns I've never had seafood in a curry.

Fuck that. They probably found it floating in the Ganges

Some of that beef floating looked pretty tasty. Aged and full of flavor.

Everyone I've ever met who has been there said the stench is immediate and unbearable. I'd imagine you would get used to it though, I dunno

Actually, this is exactly how America does it, using violence to beat the Indians [Native Americans] to death, pushing the Asian, African, and poor out into the country, running the poor white people into the surrounding outskirts of the cities. America’s police are even more terrible than China’s chengguan. If you’re within two meters of a police officer, you have to raise your hands, otherwise American police have the right to shoot you dead.

At least the Chinese have the American police pegged.

That's India off the bucket list.

Its actually pretty funny/sad. I was reading another post with a bunch of chinese commentators about US high school students protesting about a school district removing a ton of stuff in history books.

The Chinese opinions were basically, "I can't believe they don't shoot them. They'd be dead in China". "Look how blue the skies are". "Is it really worth it to make such a public problem over something so small? shame on them".

I have no clue how much that represents the totality of chinese group think, but it makes you realize how ignorant so many are all over the world. It also seemed strange that authoritarianism seems to breed a complacency to justify the authoritarianism.

well that was fuckin disturbing .no wonder hindus smell so bad.wipe your arse with the left hand and take a bath in a corpse filled shit river.what in the fuck

Don't forget that they secrete curry from their pores. Seriously never play basketball against Indian guys.

How can you even let your family bathe in that dirty corpse infested water? Who knows what is floating in that water and there's pictures of them bathing young children in there who don't have the immune defense of a full grown adult. What are the parents thinking? Culture of savages.

I am an Indian folks...

I'm genuinely sorry, I just don't like the smell of curry.

 

[Hired Gun]

This is where the next fucking disease will come out of that wipes out half the fucking planet. These nasty foul ass mother fuckers bath, piss, shit, throw their dead and drink all from the same water.

Sick sick sick

Indians treat the Ganges like holy water. Its a religious belief. People believe that bathing in it brings them good luck. Also in death people trek from all over India to scatter a persons cremated ashes there. Millions of people congregate by that River in Varnasi for blessings.

When Indians die in North America, sometimes their relatives will take their ashes back to India and scatter them in a river in hopes that they get some peace in the after life.

Let's try to keep this thread a little more respectful going forward please TMMAC.

You mentions ashes.
Why are there whole bodies? Same idea?

Thats pretty over the line and not my intent in starting this thread.
Don't you think New York and London probably looked like this a couple hundred years ago?
Streets full of excrement from chamber pots that were regularly simply dumped out the nearest window into the busy thoroughfare?

And people a couple hundred years ago were unclean murderous savages. Now we get our savagery on with a hint of class.

Yes, the key is hundreds of years ago. India is on the cutting edge of technology and medicine yet they can't use this technology to clean up their country. We know so much more about hygiene and health in 2015 than we did in the 1700's. They rather believe in this river being holy when in reality it's filled with disease and rotting flesh.

some people are too poor to afford wood for a funeral, so they slide the bodies out there. They are not supposed to, but in desperation they hope their loved ones find peace in death in the water.

Also for various religious reasons. Some holy men are not cremated. Some families don't cremate women that didn't marry.

 

[lookoutawhale]

But are you in India?

No.

Its illegal to dump bodies in the river but poor people still do it. India is still a super religious country with many poor people.

They don't have funeral homes for the poor. When someone dies there, no ambulance comes to pick them up in the villages and put them in some freezer. Your family member's body stays in the home for the day. Relatives come over right away view the body, and then the men carry the body to a pyre and stack the wood. The head male of the family then sets the wood on fire and everyone watches it burn. Then after it finished burning you pick up the ashes and bone chips and you travel a great distance to a river to dispose it.

Its where Hindus get their name from. The Indus river.

The logistics differ there more than North American where when someones dies, an ambulance comes, they go to a hospital and try to revive them, if they die their bodies are put in a freezer for a week until everyone can get there. Even the crematoriums here are much more professional. Its just a machine where you press a button and the body burns behind a silver box that no one sees. Then the funeral home sends you the ashes. It is so much more raw there in places that still practice death rights naturally without modern invention.

If you want to get a raw look at Varnasi here it is on this great travel show called Departures. You can see North American guys witnessing this for the first time in wonder.

How do the corpses end up in the river? There are many pictures of dead humans floating around very bloated. From what I can gather, cremating a body and dumping the ashes in river wouldn't hurt a thing. It's also a cheap process if they do it like you mentioned.

I'm scratching my head wondering why they continue to bathe in that dirty water when people have screwed it over. Blinded by religion perhaps?
