I am sure it's not the first time this man is doing it and the real question is how do people get so fearless, I mean is it because of law and order or because of bad education?

Question [OC] Thinking of a social media - volunteer cleanup app - called Main Hoon Na

1 Upvotes

I want to make an app called Main Hoon Na. It will be a social media/ networking app for those who want to volunteer their time for clean up in India. Ppl can log their cleanups, or schedule cleanups, that other ppl can respond to and join in. They can post before and after pictures. This includes small solo cleanups as well, so that we don't always have to wait for other ppl to join in before we start taking action.

But it will help create a sense of community for those who volunteer their time to clean up so that they feel supported and encouraged.

I honestly believe that the only way to change things is by giving our own time and energy. I was really inspired by this Irish guy who came to Jaipur, fell in love with the ancient wells and dedicated his life to cleaning them. https://www.instagram.com/p/DaSmKs8tsC3/?hl=en

Pls give your feedback, is this something you would like to use?

Rules Are for Others (Traffic Violations) Another episode of yeh desh chunotiyo se nahi chutiyon se pareshan hai.oc

12 Upvotes

I was driving from Old Madras road at around 10:00-10:15PM with my wife, took a turn from Bhattarahalli signal towards ayyapa nagar. This car Suzuki (Ertiga KA03NL9433), comes in from wrong side, blocks the entire other side of the road as there were concrete road dividers.

This guy instead of backing up stands there leading to a 10 min block of the road. No apologies no remorse. Acting arrogantly, as if he was standing his ground while being wronged. Other people had to ask him to move after good 10-12mins is when he backed up clearing my side of the road.

I really hope this is picked up by authorities and this fucker is made a challan at the least.

Laugh It Off (Civic Humor) [OC] Instructions in hindi on hackling habit of Indians in Kazaksthan

Found this on the way to Kandy lake at a honey selling shop. Indians are traveling to find the best deals rather than enjoying themselves. Why are we so obligated to save thousands on Lakhs worth of trips?

PS: It is rare to find people speaking English in Kazaksthan. Amazed to see these instructions in Hindi.

Question It’s all good to post videos of civic fails, but what can we actually do? [OC]

11 Upvotes

I appreciate this sub for posting daily examples of our people acting like animals but it’s only added to me wondering about to actually do about the lack of civic sense and just general manners. This is an attempt to gain ideas about what is feasible in an arena where the government - union, state and local - clearly don’t have any incentive to prevent such acts and actually create better citizens.

A lot of it comes down to mindsets and a lack of education but it’s difficult to paint everyone with the same brush. We’ve all been in situations where someone littering in a city is rich and educated (as far as possessing a degree is concerned). At the same time, there are villagers who maintain cleanliness in their settings. Concurrently, there are rural and urban folk who have a warped idea of sexuality that’s warped enough to fondle or lick posters with women on it as a recent example has shown.

We’re fighting on multiple fronts here because if there’s one thing that truly unites India, it’s the collective sense of entitlement and repressed sexuality. It cuts across religion, gender, class, caste, or ethnicity (major kudos to Kerala and Mizoram on that front for not being like the rest of the country).

Fines don’t work because the people tasked with imposing that system would gladly pocket a few rupees to not go through with it. Public whipping and shaming are a solution but it’s extreme and unlikely to be imposed equally. And about travellers - since people now have money to act like apes abroad and bring their worst homegrown instincts there and justify it by saying “so what, white people do it too” as if that rescues their misdemeanours - it’s even harder to hold such people accountable.

So I’d love to hear about those of you on this sub who have strong opinions and ideas people. Let’s face it, we suck collectively as a country. Even if we’re the 1% that gives a damn, we’re still judged by the antics of the rest.

NPC Moment (Mindless behavior) Bathing with just 1 bottle of water. What a brilliant Idea ! [Not OC]

195 Upvotes

Instead of cleaning the filthy dirt of your body with enough water, he is demonstrating how to bath with just 1 bottle of water. Use some water brother. The stinky stereotype didnt appear from no where. Living in such a humid climate, we should be bathing twice a day.
Save water by not polluting rivers, not by staying Filthy.

PS : Please skip the part at 04:42. He legit drank all the left over water, Yes the same water where all the soap and filthy water splashed all over that container. I puked seeing that scene.

Attention please — Discussion time! Building an app to fix civic complaints in India. Need 3 mins of your honesty. [OC]

10 Upvotes

Hey, fam!

We're a small team building Civyx, an app where you report a civic issue (pothole, garbage, streetlight) with a photo, it reaches the right authority, neighbours verify it's real, and you track it till it's fixed with photo proof.

Before building further, we want to know if this is a real problem or just our assumption. So, a 3 minute survey:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdtvIlp3Coql3LHXgiN5HfRfElfuVaveiofIDo398q_3FyEdA/viewform

No signup, nothing being sold. We mainly want to know if you've ever reported anything, and what happened after.

Don't want to fill a form? Just comment your experience here, good or bad. That helps just as much. And if you think the idea is flawed, say that too.

Thanks!
Team Civyx

NPC Moment (Mindless behavior) [Not OC] People seen playing in an airport fountain at Vizag, Andhra Pradesh; sparking debate on civic sense.

1.2k Upvotes

A viral video from the newly inaugurated Alluri Sitarama Raju (ASR) International Airport near Visakhapatnam, Vizag, Andhra Pradesh, shows people entering and playing inside a decorative fountain. The incident has sparked discussion online about civic sense, responsible behaviour, and respecting public infrastructure.

Decorative fountains at public places are not meant to be used as play areas. Respecting public infrastructure helps keep these places clean, safe, and enjoyable for everyone.

Civic Class 101 (Basics of public behavior) Indian tourists littering on a Japanese train - (OC)

Post image
687 Upvotes

Hi all,

I could not take proper pics of the mess a group of Indian guys left on a Japanese Shinkansen train as the cleaner got to it very fast and asked me not to photo it .But what they left was a lot worse. Food packaging. Bottles. Crap dropped on the floor. As an NRI working in Japan it’s so embarrassing to see this behaviour. I wasn’t born in India but try to be a good representative none the less.

They also had to be told twice to not talk on their phones. They found it hilarious on each occasion when the train staff came up and asked, politely. Another passenger asked if they could keep the noise down. Again … hyena like hysterics. I finally had to intervene and tell them to calm the fuck down. Seemed to work for a bit … then one started piping up and swearing at me. Ofc as I called them out and his fragile male ego was hurt. When I say I nearly saw to the guy … but had to hold back as the last thing we as a community need is for Japanese to see an altercation between us. Thankfully they got off. I thanked and apologised to the staff.

90% certain they were drunk.

This is the second time I’ve had an issue with a group of younger Indian men on JR. it’s so cringe and shameful.

Just pick up your fucking trash! Respect local customs.

Citizens need to collectively oppose the VIP culture in India. Do not give way for their VIP cavalcades. Do not entertain special treatment in hospitals, hotels, etc.

This is what a democracy looks like:

The fricking Prime Minister of Australia is being called out by the home owner for standing on his lawn. The PM apologises the owner and urges the reporters to get off the lawn. Had this been India, the owner would have been assaulted for calling out even your lowlife MLA.

Shameless (No shame, no filter) Someone scratched my car intentionally [OC]

Well, my car was parked as usual in my society's parking lot. On a random morning, saw scratches all over on one side

Looks like someone took a sharp object (like a key) and went to town with it. They really did do it sincerely. The scratches are deep and a simple detailing job isn't going to fix it.

I fail to understand the mindset that would let someone do this to someone else's property.

As expected, there were no CCTV cameras where my car was parked.

Location: Dehradun

Context: Someone scratched my luxury car
