Check out the viral post:

“An area of Southall in London. Southall and Wembley are the two heartlands of the Indian community in London. In Southall, often called ‘Little India,’ about half the residents identify as Indian, their culture shining through temples, saree shops, and Punjabi eateries. In Wembley, the Indian presence is even stronger — nearly 57% — making it one of Britain’s most vibrant desi neighbourhoods. Yet, beneath the colourful markets and community pride, a question remains: Where is the civic sense? Litter and overflowing bins often shadow the beauty of these cultural hubs, reminding us that preserving our heritage also means keeping our surroundings clean,” the post read. “Note: The success of an area depends on the collective effort of its entire population, not merely on one community. Local authorities also play an important role in keeping the city clean. Therefore, we should never link the shortcomings or problems of an area to a single group or community,” the post continued. The post was shared on Instagram, by the handle ‘nayem_in_london’. The post was shared a while back and pulled more than 113K views from netizens.
