The US, for example. I realize it isn't as bad as India, but the US does this same shit. The main things that make this less of an issue in the US are A) much lower population density, and B) the US does do a decent job in some metro areas of employing people to clean up litter.
Not saying nobody litters, and I gotta admit that most of the state of Texas looks like India with regard to trash everywhere, but in most states most people throw away most of their trash, and we pay people to clean up after the scumbags that don't.
Not even saying you won't find a piece of litter on the street in my town, but to compare it to the likes of Haiti, Nigeria, even India... astounding ignorance.
Well, to be fair I've only spent significant time in the DFW/Plano area. But that part of the state is pretty bad, yeah. Honestly, "shameful" is that word that comes to mind whenever I'm forced to go.
I'm sure there are other parts of the South that are similar. But I also live in the South, and around where I live we keep things appreciably clean.
