India isn’t dirty because people can’t clean, or lack civic sense. India is dirty because people genuinely believe it’s not their job. That belief comes from caste. And that belief is not accidental. It comes straight from caste conditioning drilled into people for generations. Caste in India was never just about hierarchy. It was about assigning work. And cleaning got pushed to the bottom. So now even today, people carry that same mindset without even realizing it. I am not the one who cleans. You go to a park, people will eat, throw garbage, walk away. Not because they’re unaware. Their brain literally doesn’t even register that they should pick it up. Why. Because somewhere deep inside, they think cleaning is a ‘lower’ person’s job. Same everywhere - Hill stations, rivers, tourist spots. Trash it and leave. Not laziness. Conditioning. Compare this with somewhere like Singapore - You eat at a place, people clean their own table. They carry tissues, wipe it, and throw garbage properly. Why? Because they don’t think it’s someone else’s job. Even Sri Lanka feels cleaner than India! And then we pretend it’s a Swachh Bharat problem. You can run a hundred Swachh Bharat campaigns. Put dustbins every ten steps. Nothing changes. Because the problem is not infrastructure. It’s identity.

Every homemaker should get 25% of their husband's salary credited to their account directly by their husband's employer. Directly credited, removing their husband's agency from this. This should be made a law.
