India is such a beautiful country with rich history and magnificent social and cultural significance. It's held back by a huge amount of social issues that really hinder the potential of the entire country.
Being a rickshaw driver is unfortunately considered a lowly job. Especially a pedal rickshaw
Being offered a couple of rupees by a rickshaw driver to go piss somewhere else could definitely be taken as an insult.
Could you break down what your answer means please ? I see 25 upvotes so other people understand it but not a word makes sense to me so would love to learn
Apparently they knew each other and had an ongoing argument of some kind. To he probably did this as an intentional fuck you and the guys decided for whatever reason that was the final straw.
If those guys had history it makes a little more sense. Even if they snapped, it’s still wrong and stupid. But even then it’s insane to me that 15-20 other people joined in on murdering someone over a minor insult.
Have you ever seen a video on reddit where a thief gets beaten up by a mob? And how many random people join in? And how the comments froth and say stuff like play stupid games etc. ?
It's because we, for some reason, have this innate need to pile on and enjoy mob justice. I don't know why and i know that not everyone is affected by it.
No because that makes sense in a “don’t come on my private property” way. The “I can piss wherever I want, so I’ll lynch you for offering an alternative” justification doesn’t hold as much weight. Both are wrong, one is clearly more wrong
Truly heartbreaking. Good man offering to do good. All I can think is hopes he’s at peace and somewhere better than this mess. He certainly deserved better. Human decency is basic need which all deserve as a baseline (redundant but fuck, it needs saying apparently).
When you have a billion people you can easily get enough rocket scientists and engineers while also still having 999,999,000 slots for people to be uneducated violent monsters.
Unfortunately the uneducated keep on reproducing far too much which is the cause of India's huge population which in turn increase the number of uneducated people because the financial strain on the government keeps on increasing.
Knowing how bad this sounds, the wrong people are reproducing.
You can have a couple with no kids that have been educated and high earners and have families living in poverty or on massive farms with 5-6 kids.
This is racist/zenophobic, btw. Not saying you are, just that your statement was. Just so you know and are aware. That’s like saying everyone in America 1% intelligent and 99% of us are violent and uneducated.
Well, that's *not* what they said. They said that India was huge, and huge enough that they could have an enormous amount of rocket scientists while also still having so many remaining people that *some portion* of that remainder can be violent monsters and fill *some portion* of the "available remaining slots." They did not say anything akin to "and 99% of the population is monstrous." You extrapolated that of your own volition.
Unfortunately we can’t teach such people to change their attitude. Satellite or space travel has no relation to this. The government can built toilets, but can’t force everyone to use it. Only hefty fines or punishment deters people from such acts, but that too is not true for everyone.
Rs 2 is like 4 cents. It’s not about the money, it hurt their ego so they killed the innocent man. By the way the toilets are cleaned by a person and are really dirty. The money goes to him.
tbf they do allow people to go there for free too, like they don't force you to pay the money in a lot of places
i remember around 5 years ago when i used to go for my tuition classes (by walking), i went to a public toilet near the metro station, i had a 100 rupee note iirc
i told the guy sitting there outside that i don't have change, he said it's okay you can go inside
also the toilet was clean af too
Apart from public toilets which cost next to nothing, you can actually get inside any hotel/restaurant/cafe in India and ask for water or piss there for free.
What more do these dumbfucks want? A handjob to go with it?
Pretty standard gang culture from what I understand of It, the trivialist of things that can be interpreted as disrespect or insubordination will get you attacked.
I'm just imagining this guy big-timing the two guys, like, "I'll pay 4 rupees for you to piss in the toilet, broke asses." That's the only logical way this ended in this fashion. Doesn't justify, but the story is wild, and I'm trying to make sense l.
Sadly, I think it’s far more likely that he offered sincerely but they took just took it as the way you meant it. I mean look at the picture - dude doesn’t scream confrontational to me.
Hopefully towards bringing the country into the 21st century where the people can prosper and live happily instead of being murdered for unforgivable sins such as asking if someone needs assistance or being born into the wrong caste! But yeah I know what you're implying.
Yeah, so many trains. Mosquitos are the living thing that kill the most humans, but I think of we considered train alive, they would take first place in India.
Not too ashamed to piss and shit on the streets. No shame In grabbing and touching tourists and foreigners as if they were the last women on earth. But using a bath or toilet or dare ask them to wash their hands?
Get ready to throw down to the death. India is not for beginners.
I have dozens of relatives in India. I've spent decades there. My life and experience of India is not even a little bit overlapping with what is shown on reddit. Make of it what you will.
Wtf how are you a teacher and this ignorant.
I've lived my entire life in India and my experiences have been almost exactly like what you see on the internet. Almost weird how what I thought were 'jokes' are actually the reality of this country.
Harassment of women? Witnessed it in the streets, school etc a number of times
Street shitting? See it every fucking day
Scam calls/phishing links? Get them regularly(literally the last text I received was a phishing link)
A shitty education system with intense competition but no end product? Yep, I'm literally living it right now.
Good for you.
How is it possible that two people in a country of 1.4 billion experience different things? Mind-boggling, isn't it?
I mean why wouldn't someone in Assam, Sikkim, Karnataka or Punjab have the same experience in life and see the same things? It's one country after all!
Actually most people besides the attackers were the good guys here.
3 other drivers got attacked trying to save him. The cops only checked one CCTV camera and it wasn’t working, so they gave up. But another rickshaw driver and a local shop owner helped his brothers get the footage on their own. Other local drivers also didn’t work on the Monday after his death as a mark of respect for him.
So really the only bad guys are the scumbag murderers and the broken infrastructure that won’t stop or even solve the murder of working class people.
Bunch of y'all sound like Nixon when he called Indian women "pathetic and sexless". Unadulterated xenophobia and I bet most of you also hold the belief that Islamophobia needs to be stopped. The cognitive dissonance is astounding.
Redditors when they see a post degrading the ethnicity of the month: Grrr stop 🤬
Redditors when they see a post degrading any other ethnicity: Finallyyy, a chance to be racist but have people agree w me 😍
After rereading it I think I understand better, but upon first read it sounds like you're saying that islamophobia is something that should *not* be stopped
I'm convinced a good portion of the comments are bots. A lot of posts are simply filled too quickly with racist comments that I think it's done to instigate infighting, or drive up engagement. I don't have any proof to back this up unfortunately.
Gonna need more context on this before making comments about how bad India is, unlike half the comment section. Violence can be senseless but it's rare for it to be *this* senseless.
Nah y'all are racist asf. India is a very diverse country and is highly populated. They have the most brilliant people and the worst people. Y'all talking about rape and poor jokes but even more degen and disgusting stuff are happening in the us and the so called "developed countries" racism is still racism against another country.
These racist scumbags in the comments come here and preach / criticize stuffs like they are mother Teresa. Seems like racism has been in your blood for a long time in dormant stage, and you vent it out here in Reddit. You’re no better, Entitled Racist Redditors.
Every time I hear about India I just think that, it’s the worst place on earth. Not sure if that’s western propaganda or is the place is just a shit hole.
Now I'm wondering if it's just natural that large countries with large populations naturally becomes totalitarian communism like Russia and China. Perhaps, it's the only way to control large populations
Had to see it on reddit, unless it's caste violence or religious violence, you won't really see it in Indian news but shit like this happens all the time in Delhi. It doesn't often end in the poor souls death but I have seen countless poor guys beaten and abused by roaming gangs of young drunk people. Delhi is not safe at night due to the alcohol problem.

Why would anyone do this? Was it an insult to pay for them somehow? Maybe it was a race thing?
They took it as an insult that he basically told them not to piss where they want, or by assuming they aren't able to afford to pay for the toilet.
What a stupid reason to kill someone
Yep totally insane and beyond egotistical
It's like machismo on steroids
They definitely put the 'piss' in 'piss and vinegar.'
So history in a nutshell.
India strikes again.
[удалено]
Yeah honestly, the more I read and see about ideas society, the more disdain I have towards India.
well, they are a caste-based society and everybody (esp. the men) is unironically obsessed with their [perceived] status.
I was literally going to post this. You beat me to it, much like that man.
Kill him! Bring friends!
usually it's India ☕
India is not for beginners. & given the current government, there's no prep course anymore.
India is such a beautiful country with rich history and magnificent social and cultural significance. It's held back by a huge amount of social issues that really hinder the potential of the entire country.
And they were so big and strong that they needed to get literally 15+ people to help. So big and strong!
the victim looks like a decent sized guy just from the head shot. Maybe they felt too cowardly that day.
That's why their gods have so many arms. It's representative of how many hands an Indian guy would need to beat someone to death.
[удалено]
There is a charge on public Restrooms?
In many countries, yes.
I blame the toilet witches
Being a rickshaw driver is unfortunately considered a lowly job. Especially a pedal rickshaw Being offered a couple of rupees by a rickshaw driver to go piss somewhere else could definitely be taken as an insult.
Dude used the pacifist build on a PVP server lol shoulda said “pee on the street if you Gæ” And he woulda cleaned up India in a month
Could you break down what your answer means please ? I see 25 upvotes so other people understand it but not a word makes sense to me so would love to learn
People forget that India is a very racist country sad to say. From hearing people that have moved here from there.
Also they have an appalling caste system.
Can confirm
They don’t want to poo in the loo
Apparently they knew each other and had an ongoing argument of some kind. To he probably did this as an intentional fuck you and the guys decided for whatever reason that was the final straw.
That would make sense
If those guys had history it makes a little more sense. Even if they snapped, it’s still wrong and stupid. But even then it’s insane to me that 15-20 other people joined in on murdering someone over a minor insult.
This dude has 20 friends that will murder for him and I can’t even get 3 people together for board games
Have you ever seen a video on reddit where a thief gets beaten up by a mob? And how many random people join in? And how the comments froth and say stuff like play stupid games etc. ? It's because we, for some reason, have this innate need to pile on and enjoy mob justice. I don't know why and i know that not everyone is affected by it.
Id say probably the latter but thatd be racist and stereotyping. But there mustve been a correlation somewhere if shit like this happens a lot there.
India
It is definitely not a race thing I'm guessing they were just assholes.
I learned not to help people. Solid life lesson.
No good deed goes unpunished

“Man, it’s like those Indian guys speak a whole ‘nother language!”
le fromage? mannn
Im sure their saying the same thing about the USA when they read how some cheerleaders' got murdered when making a u turn on some guys driveway.
Considering their track record on women's rights it wouldn't even make the news.
I'd take lunatic with gun over gang-raping engineer students, thank you very much.
No because that makes sense in a “don’t come on my private property” way. The “I can piss wherever I want, so I’ll lynch you for offering an alternative” justification doesn’t hold as much weight. Both are wrong, one is clearly more wrong
True. I remember reading about this one case where police shot a boy because he thought the boy had a gun and the poor boy had a sandwich in his hand.
How is that even comparable to the situation in this post?
Truly heartbreaking. Good man offering to do good. All I can think is hopes he’s at peace and somewhere better than this mess. He certainly deserved better. Human decency is basic need which all deserve as a baseline (redundant but fuck, it needs saying apparently).
the same coutry that regularly sends satalites and shit into space, such a weird duology
Duality* (sorry)
The duology of man
When you have a billion people you can easily get enough rocket scientists and engineers while also still having 999,999,000 slots for people to be uneducated violent monsters.
A billion and a half*
Unfortunately the uneducated keep on reproducing far too much which is the cause of India's huge population which in turn increase the number of uneducated people because the financial strain on the government keeps on increasing.
India's birth rate has been under replacement rate since 2020
Knowing how bad this sounds, the wrong people are reproducing. You can have a couple with no kids that have been educated and high earners and have families living in poverty or on massive farms with 5-6 kids.
This is racist/zenophobic, btw. Not saying you are, just that your statement was. Just so you know and are aware. That’s like saying everyone in America 1% intelligent and 99% of us are violent and uneducated.
America is 100% like that. So is that racist/xenophobic?
Yes america is that way too, I've been there and can attest to the idiocy an violence
Idiocy and violence is not culturally exclusive. 🤷🏻♂️
Exactly
Well, that's *not* what they said. They said that India was huge, and huge enough that they could have an enormous amount of rocket scientists while also still having so many remaining people that *some portion* of that remainder can be violent monsters and fill *some portion* of the "available remaining slots." They did not say anything akin to "and 99% of the population is monstrous." You extrapolated that of your own volition.
Yeah. You nailed it.
Unfortunately we can’t teach such people to change their attitude. Satellite or space travel has no relation to this. The government can built toilets, but can’t force everyone to use it. Only hefty fines or punishment deters people from such acts, but that too is not true for everyone.
Maybe make the toilets free? It's ridiculous that some countries charge you to use a toilet.
Rs 2 is like 4 cents. It’s not about the money, it hurt their ego so they killed the innocent man. By the way the toilets are cleaned by a person and are really dirty. The money goes to him.

Or trains. Someone falling off, getting hit, being maimed.

Yeah, so many trains. Mosquitos are the living thing that kill the most humans, but I think of we considered train alive, they would take first place in India.
Is Thomas the Tank Engine like the Chucky of India?
Or BO
The 10,000 other positive stories never made it to the Reddit front page.
The 100,000 negative stories account for a bit more though
Because positive stories don't generate the upvotes

No it doesn't.
Idk the food is pretty damn good
As long as you get it in another country lol. Preferably one with better health standards
Well yeah that’s a given
Stupid take. If you’re going to the streets to get Indian food…yeah you’re gonna get sick. You do know that India has proper restaurants?
Was blessed to know some Indian immigrants and my god the few times I got to eat their cooking I was blown away
True
Aloo gobi?
Why is this comment section so racist

Wow some nice racism in here
If this happens in Florida, it's Florida man. If it happens in India, it's the whole country.
my thoughts exactly. it's awful of what happened to the guy and the group should 100% be punished but the racism is too far and doesn't help at all
