India's Toilet Etiquette Is Actually Helping Save The Planet. No Kidding.

Krupa Joseph
In the movie “The Outsourced”, there's a scene where Todd uses his left hand to eat and he is promptly advised against it. If the reason wasn’t obvious, the husband of his landlady makes it very clear by acting out how Indians wipe their posterior. Whether you reach out for a roll of toilet paper or for the jet spray/ a mug of water after 'taking a dump' is probably one of the most instinctive things you do on a daily basis.
