Villages in the Nadia district in West Bengal, India are setting up "walls of shame" featuring the names and photos of people caught defecating in public, Local authorities want villagers to form committees to monitor people who continue to defecate outdoors. Anyone "shamed" on the walls will have some government benefits suspended, although these would be restored when they change their habits A 2011 census showed that nearly half of the Indian population had no access to a latrine, meaning more than 500 million people were defecating in the open. That's a lot 'poo.'
In the a.m. TheHindu villager begins the day with purification rituals which includes the outdoor poopo along the roadside with the entire village.
