3: I read that India received 6.5 million visitors in 2012.
And China? Hold your breath - the figure is 57 million.
So what's the matter with India?
I believe it is the old story - dirt, disease, disorder.
1. Subodh Kant Sahay (former Tourism Minister) admitted: “Many tourist spots are very unhygienic and the maintenance of these places is very difficult. People ask me:
’Mr Sahay you may speak of the 5,000-year-old history of India, but why is your country so dirty?’” [Tehelka online, 08 Aug 2013]
2. Time magazine reported in Oct 2009 that "110 million households [about 600 million people or 55% of India’s populaton] remain without access to a toilet and ¾ of the country’s surface water is contaminated by human and agri waste. More than a half a million children die each year from preventable water- and sanitation related diseases like diarrhoea, cholera and hepatitis.
Any hope for India?

5: i wonder where that 50 percent is !
I'm a keralite and i am pretty sure that all homes have toilets here.. Had trouble finding public toilets in the state, but the government took necessary action by introducing e-toilets through out the state, which has been a boon especially for ladies. I wonder why the indian government cannot make a move to give awareness for educationally backward states in the country..
