Do you know how great Indian cinema is?
Indian cinema is on the verge of catching up with Hollywood, especially Armi Khan's films, Wrestle, Daddy, and Three Fools in Bollywood.
In addition to Indian movies, what also makes Indians proud is their mother river, the Ganges. The book "Three Thousand Years of the Ganges" written by the British journalist Mallet explores the secrets of this ancient river and exposes the current situation of the Ganges.
Considered by Indians to be an incomparably sacred river, it originates in the Himalayas, flows through India, Bangladesh and other places, and finally flows into the Bay of Bengal.
Indians like to bathe in the Ganges, they think that the water of the Ganges is holy water, and it is a blessing for them to be able to drink the water of the Ganges and to be able to bathe in the water of the Ganges.
Some people say they also wanted to sell the Water of the Ganges to Chinese for five yuan a bottle.
But such a mother river is now suffering from pain that is difficult to conceal. A lot of unbearable garbage floats on the surface of the river, and how many viruses spread in this river.
When the outbreak of the epidemic in India, the large number of deaths put the crematorium under unprecedented pressure, and when the crematorium was overwhelmed, the Ganges became the final destination of these dead bodies.
Even now that the Ganges are unsightly, many people in India do not think so, believing in their bones that the Ganges can be purified by itself and does not need to be governed.
We can't say that our beliefs are wrong, but they don't recognize the status quo at all and still choose to immerse themselves in their own fantasies.
The author Mallet was able to feel first-hand the stark contrast between the scenery of the upper and lower reaches of the Ganges and the water quality. The paradise of the upper reaches, and the dirty and sloppy downstream.
The fact that the Ganges is polluted is not accidental, a large amount of domestic sewage and industrial wastewater have been discharged into the Ganges without restraint, there is no effective means of treatment, and the situation in the Ganges is becoming more and more serious.
Even if the Indians have put the Ganges on the altar, they cannot erase the fact that it is no longer beautiful.
The pollution of the Ganges river has long been not just a matter for India, after all, we live on the same earth, and the water resources on the earth are common.
