Traditional simple public toilet

India is a country with frequent droughts. It rains on time only once a year, which is unimaginable. It rained all day for 30 days, and there was no rain in other months! I'm telling you, there are no exceptions. It's just weird. India is dry, and the temperature is high all year round. Working in coastal areas, every day until noon, the water from the faucet can burn your hands. When China people first arrived in India, they couldn't stand standing in the sun for ten minutes. Only when they got there did they feel the anxiety of the fire. ? However, not using paper toilets is a popular habit in India.

In ancient times, paper was a rare thing. Although China invented papermaking a long time ago, the main purpose of papermaking is to write and write books, and there is no luxury to wipe one's ass with it.

Therefore, we ancient people will think of various ways, such as scraping with small bamboo pieces and small wooden strips. Farmers don't pay so much attention to it, and directly clean it with clods, pebbles or leaves. Until later, toilet paper appeared. In any case, our ancestors thought that feces were unclean and should try to avoid direct contact with hands. Indians don't care so much, they just dig with their fingers, and then wash their fingers with some water.

The question is, are they always washed with water?

The pictures of toilets you see are all facilities of relatively wealthy families in India. You know that most Indians don't have toilets or toilets at home, so they just go outside to find a corner to solve the problem!
