A recent image shared on Reddit has left many people reflecting on the hygiene standards of India. The photograph, which allegedly came from Delhi, depicts a man bathing under a leaking pipeline, in the midst of what appears to be a filthy water body, almost resembling a drain. The shocking scene went viral, with some speculating that the pipeline in question might be carrying sewage. The image has struck a chord with viewers, serving as a stark reminder of the harsh realities many face, particularly in the midst of rising inflation and limited access to basic resources. The Reddit post, shared by user 'jinxiyu', was captioned: "A man takes bath as the water leaks from a pipeline on a smoggy morning in New Delhi, India." Since being posted two days ago, the image has garnered over 2,500 upvotes, sparking a deeper conversation about our environmental and societal challenges. See the post: Many users voiced their disbelief over the state of the world, while others used the moment to criticise issues like poverty, pollution, and more. Some also directed their attention to India's hygiene and sanitation practices. One user wrote, “This is the most depressing thing I’ve seen all day.” Another user added, “This is some post apocalyptic scenery right there.” A third user termed it as “hell,” to which another Redditor replied, “I mean it is a drinking water main, prob the best place to get clean in the area lol. The brown cloth preventing the pressure from spraying the water all over and instead directing it down is not in fact brown water. Appears a few different color pieces of cloth have been used in the same place. Still hell tho.”
