After 1949, Mao barely did anything right and I’m surprised if any Chinese born after 90s would still defend him. But I doubt India is such a great example, we probably all have seen photos of the Gange


Are you comparing a polluted river to the deaths of millions?


Polluted by dead bodies...


You do realize that floating a family member's body down the Ganges is considered a sacred ritual and that what you just said has nothing to do with mass deaths due to negligence right?


I admit I didn’t know about the ritual part, but just a little google show me this:

And many sources mention they did this just because they can’t afford proper cremation.

Another funny picture is Train with many people attached outside, not sure if that’s another convention or custom :)


From flooding or what? Seems like there is a difference...
