There's something a bit different about India than the rest of the world. It's something that receives hardly any international attention, but should. I'm of course talking about poop.
An astounding 48 percent of Indian citizens don't have access to toilets. That's somewhere around 600 million people. A 2014 report from the World Health Organization said that half a billion people in India still continue to defecate in gutters, behind bushes or in open water bodies, with no dignity or privacy."
