unconcerned, arguing that the area was already littered. The man replied, “Leave that. We clean this place a lot. Pick up the diaper.” One of the tourists eventually got out and collected the discarded trash.Noticing the vehicle’s number plate, the man asked, “Where are you from? Oh, you are from Bihar.” He continued, “Please pick up the trash. Don’t do like this. If others have littered, will you do it too?”

One Reddit user commented, “The audacity of the guy to say, ‘baaki logo ne bhi toh kar rakha hai,’ as if littering is justifiable, since others do it too! This is exactly the problem with Indians — a herd mentality without critical thinking.” Another added, “‘Others do it too’ is such a common argument. It really shows how our society operates.”Many praised the man for his civic-minded actions, with comments encouraging “name and shame always” and applauding him for taking a stand toward a cleaner India.
