I salute them. And they did it all without government help...: )
I’m sure the labor unions have made that illegal here in the USA.
That's like all those white folks who go in the ghetto to help out the "poor".
This is good work. Now if we could only convince the rural folk that toilets are a good thing and taking a squat in the back 40 is a bad idea. IIRC, there was a problem with villagers being attacked by tigers a few years ago. They were being attacked at night when they were squatting in the bushes going #2. Tigers generally don’t attack in indoors bathrooms.

Do yourself a favor and don’t google image search “pollution Ganges River.” It’s like one big sewer. They make Haiti look like a nice vacation resort.
Thanks for posting this.
I’ve heard of this for the last several years.
Excellent work ethic, civic pride and no apparent sense of entitlement.
No wonder so many India countrymen sucessfully transition to performing our outsourced labor (helped by lower wage competitive advantage over US workforce).
Now if only Sharpton’s people did likewise!
Taking pride in where you live and not expecting someone else to do it!? Fantastic!
WHERE ARE THE LEAF BLOWERS??? < /sarc >
I really, really like Indians from India.
The very definition, for the most part, of polite, considerate people.
All that I have met in the technical world, would make outstanding CONSERVATIVE US Citizens.
They think like we do!
Great work, awesome. Now stop calling me!
Very nice, that’s what it takes to make a society work.
Keep this up and the “Big Bang Theory” writers are going to have to work harder.
This is what able-bodied recipients on the public dole should be doing continually and by compulsion, just like the boys and girls from the county jails who tidy up the highways and bi-ways. Oh, and don’t let them vote until they 1.) get off the public dole, and 2.) pass a test or two in basic civics.
Good for them. I hope it catches on, and I spreads to the USA.
A cultural movement like this can work wonders, far beyond what it actually does, because it motivates people to want to improve something, be it their property, their neighborhood, or themselves.
Socialists are attracted to this, but they always fail because they want to *direct* and *force* people to do this in a regimented and controlled fashion, the way the socialist wants. This is a big reason that people despise socialists, and would rather live in squalor than give the socialists what they want.
This is very cool. I wonder how widespread it is?
Good for them. Indians are good people, yea they’re coming here and taking our jobs, but maybe they can turn their country around.
Here in DC, "spot cleaning" is usually an early sign of gentrification. I well recall the years during which Capitol Hill began to turn around. Come a fine spring morning, and the new neighbors would be out in force, working first and foremost on their own front yards but also tackling the problem areas in parks and alleys. I know that these were the new neighbors because there were certain easily observable differences between them and the older residents.
They are a bunch of fools if they think the garbage won’t be back within a week. All they did was give out free fish rather than having the neighborhood catch their own fish.
This may seem unrelated, but there is also an amazing number of small private schools in India, because the government is just incompetent. This is part of a people empowering trend.
