"What do cows eat on the garbage?"
Open social media and see a video that makes people cry and laugh and go viral. Danish Ambassador to India Frederick Swann stood in front of the camera amid piles of garbage and bluntly and angrily scolded the sanitary conditions of the Indian capital, New Delhi, as "nothing short of a disgrace".
As a diplomatic envoy, his unexpected move undoubtedly angered many Indian people. Surprisingly, however, in the face of the ambassador's harsh words, the New Delhi municipality quickly bowed its head and promised to clean up the problem streets immediately.
This uncharacteristically compromised has sparked a new round of heated discussions and debates in the Indian online world. Some netizens denounced the incompetence and weakness of the municipality, questioning whether they were just doing something expedient and perfunctory; Other netizens expressed understanding and support, believing that the municipality's sincere attitude deserves recognition.
What is even more surprising is that many Indian netizens actually understand and agree with the ambassador's approach, and some bluntly said that "he is right, New Delhi is indeed very dirty". Some have called for the government and all citizens to ......
Here's the thing, the Danish ambassador to India, Frederick Swan, posted a 1-minute video on social media. In the video, he stands on a busy street in New Delhi, where the sun shines and the souks are bustling with people rushing to and fro. However, shockingly, the mountain of garbage behind him became the most conspicuous background.
With a hint of helplessness and disappointment on his face, the ambassador said affectionately: "What you see is the real side of New Delhi, the capital of India." He pointed to the garbage mountain and pointed to the huge environmental challenges facing the city. He went on to explain that this waste not only affects the aesthetics and hygiene of the city, but also seriously threatens the health of residents and the sustainable development of the environment.
The ambassador called on the local government and residents to work together to take measures to tackle the garbage problem. He referred to Denmark's experience in environmental protection and sustainable development and encouraged India and Denmark to strengthen cooperation to address this serious challenge.
This video has attracted a lot of attention and discussion. People are beginning to reflect on the importance of waste disposal and environmental protection, and call on the government to invest more in improving waste treatment facilities and promote environmental awareness. The Danish ambassador's remarks to India have become a catalyst for the resolution of environmental issues, and it is hoped that more people will be concerned and take action to create a cleaner and better New Delhi.
Then, pointing to the garbage at his feet, he said with an indignant expression: "It's terrible that there is garbage everywhere here." His fingers were pointing back and forth in the garbage, showing the unbearable sight in front of him. As the capital of a civilized country, this environment in New Delhi is nothing short of a disgrace.
At the end of the video, the ambassador shook his head helplessly, his eyes revealing deep disappointment and helplessness. He is troubled by this environmental problem, because the garbage problem is not just a local situation, but reflects the importance that society as a whole attaches to environmental protection.
The video sparked an instant buzz on social media, with many netizens expressing concern and concern about New Delhi's environmental issues. More questions have begun to be raised about the city's waste disposal and environmental protection policies, and the government has been called upon to take stricter measures to address the problem.
The outspoken video of the spit went viral online and sparked a heated discussion among Indian netizens. Many netizens expressed understanding and support for Ambassador Frederick Swan's approach, believing that he had good intentions to point out the issue so bluntly. They said that only by publicly revealing the severity of the problem can the public be concerned and the government be prompted to take more aggressive action.
Some netizens also questioned the ambassador's approach. They believe that the ambassador is too exaggerated and unreasonable, and that the solution of the garbage problem requires a gradual process and should not be solved only through criticism and accusations. They believe that the government needs to develop a long-term viable plan and encourage people to actively participate in waste sorting and environmental protection.
These diverse voices reflect society's complex attitudes to environmental issues. Although most netizens expressed concern and concern about the video, they had different opinions on the way to solve the problem. One side sees the need to awaken the consciousness of the people and the government in a more drastic way, while the other side focuses more on long-term incremental improvements.
In the face of public pressure, the New Delhi City Council quickly responded, saying that it had sent people to clean up the garbage dumps on the street referred to in the video. However, some skeptical netizens said that cleaning up a single street alone would solve the city's garbage problem.
Keeping the city clean and hygienic is a long-term systematic project, which requires the joint efforts of the government, citizens and all sectors of society. As the capital of India, New Delhi should set a good example in this regard. The ambassador undoubtedly pointed out the problem so bluntly out of kindness to India, and this practice has also caused widespread reflection among the Indian people.
Personally, I think the Ambassador's approach is understandable. As a diplomatic envoy, he has the responsibility and obligation to follow the development situation of the country in which he is located and to put forward his views and suggestions as appropriate. Despite his blunt tone, the video's original intention was to call for better sanitation in cities, not to disparage or tarnish India's national image.
From another point of view, the Ambassador also took the opportunity to show the world some of the urban development problems that exist in New Delhi, which precisely illustrates the difficulties and challenges that India faces in the process of modernization. A large developing country should not only maintain sustained economic growth, but also attach great importance to people's livelihood and environmental protection, which is not an overnight thing.
As for the garbage problem in New Delhi, I believe that the government alone is not enough, and it needs to be consciously acted upon by all citizens. For example, starting from oneself, enhance environmental awareness, and take the initiative to maintain urban sanitation; At the same time, it is also necessary to actively supervise and support the relevant work of the government and form a joint force of the whole society. I believe that with perseverance and action, New Delhi will be able to usher in a cleaner and tidier environment.
