Indians love cell phones, but don’t like toilets. Strange but true ladies and gentlemen, if you believe the UN University in Canada. There are 545 million mobile phones in India and only about 366 million people have access to toilet facilities. ‘Access’ does not mean they have private facilities. There may very well be million of Indians relying on neighborhood toilets, something unthinkable in the industrialized world. With the average toilet costing 300 USD, Indians simply cannot afford to install one in their home. Defecating outdoors does have some advantages. The breeze can be rather pleasant and nature directly benefits from the ‘contribution’. Constantly we are reminded that India is becoming an economic powerhouse, among the world leaders in technology and information services. All of that may be true, but as of right now, they literally don’t have a pot to piss in.
