It is not that the Ganges water is dirty to drink will certainly be sick, there is a very dirty Ganges water, there is relatively clean Ganges water, the Indian people are not stupid, who will pick dirty water to drink; and the Indian people drink the Ganges water does not mean that the Indian people drink it every day, or maybe only once in a lifetime? The human body has the ability to regulate itself. Think about it from another angle, Indians may be thinking: Chinese people eat gutter oil how not to get sick? Isn't it the same thing?

According to a survey by the World Health Organization in 2016, India has a life expectancy of 68.3 years, the Chinese have a life expectancy of 76.1 years, and the Americans have a life expectancy of 78 years, so it is clear that there is only a difference of 2 years between China and the United States, while there is a difference of 8 years between India and China. The main factors that affect a country's life expectancy are: medical care, living environment, and standard of living, and India is definitely behind China in these areas. So from the big data, the backward lifestyle of the Indian people is also a big reason for their low life expectancy, similar to drinking the Ganges River water and other things, are shortening their own life expectancy, even if someone died because of this will not be blamed on their mother river, coupled with the media's control of public opinion, some people drink the Ganges River water to death, it is estimated that will not be declared to the outside world, right.

How dirty is the Ganges water? Look at the following to know:

1, household garbage.

The Ganges is India's mother river, along the coast of the distribution of numerous cities. Every Indian, at least once in a lifetime to go to the Ganges to take a bath, known as the "holy bath". In addition, Hindus believe that the Ganges is the embodiment of the Goddess, is the "source of atonement", with the Ganges water from head to toe bath, can wash away sins.

So the pollution in the Ganges left behind by Hindus bathing alone is terrible. India's infrastructure is not very good, and near the river, there are at least 400 million people living, and their living garbage and sewage are basically discharged into the Ganges.

2. Industrial effluent.

Since domestic waste and sewage can be discharged, how come industrial sewage cannot be discharged? The efficiency of the Indian government is not a little bit lower than the domestic work, industrial sewage discharge can not manage.

3. Ashes and Floating Bodies:

Indians believe that immersion in the Ganges washes away a person's sins. So after the death of a person, they will be cremated ashes scattered into the river, and even directly to the body, relics and funeral objects thrown directly into the river and let it float, that will help the dead get a better afterlife, and even earlier to get "liberated".

Of course, they often do this with the bodies of animals in addition to people. It is believed that the waters of the Ganges have the power to purify. Scattering the ashes of the dead in the river would purify the sins of his life.
