    And why do you think that talking about toilet is a good idea, with a cold-link? X| I am sure there are lot more interesting news happening than this in our country.

      How is it defamation? It's a fact that it happens, and a good thing that the legislature is taking steps to stop it.

        I hope you were joking there. From the article, it seems to me that the bill would have as much to do with ensuring people's 'right to live with dignity' as it has to do with toilets. In any case i read it as making people responsible for cleaning up their own sh*t, so to speak. :) The link points to a valid news site and the article seems like valid news, I don't see what's wrong with posting it here (although maybe it would have been better placed in GIT considering the content is largely India-centric).

              IMHO, There is no point in talking about toilet and shit in India with the rest of the world.

              I was trying to say that, one has to copy and paste the link in the browser to navigate, so it was not a hot-link.

                        "Once the President gives his assent to convert the bill into law, it will be illegal to employ labour for hazardous cleaning (manual cleaning without protective gear and other safety precautions) of a sewer or a septic tank. All insanitary toilets will also have to be dismantled." Will they be replaced with more modern ones; or will people have to do without and crap behind bushes instead?

                        Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt
