I'm sorry, but what the hell is the world supposed to do?
They have turned the Ganges - their lifeblood - into a sludge of effluent and decomposing bodies, so that water is unusable.
They continually show no interest in taking care of their own environment.
They refuse to take action to curb their population.
They have 1.4 billion people. How much water does the world have to send, and continually send, before we ALL end up in the same situation?

Lock the doors against them?
Stories like this make me wonder if Brexit is really important.

With all respect to Ms.Indira , you are not dealing with an educated society are you?
You are dealing with a society which in 2019 still has the Dalits 160,000,000 people condemend to utter servitude for what and you expect these people can understand that somebody wants to come along and tinker with his cajones ?
What an offer Mrs.Ghandi made , perhaps education and health , toilets and showers about 600,000,000 Indians have no access to a toilet .
The scale of the problems facing India are massive
