[@WarsunGames]

25:50 Yeah i also remember when the Ganges was clean. You could see the shiny rocks at the bottom. Yes its filthy now. Move the factories and sewage downstream then. An anyone who wants to pollute the water get them away from that area. Send them Miles away.

[@WarsunGames]

29:33 Who said it was the Government doing this? The government could redirect the sewage yes. However. They don't know what to do with it. They could sell the sewage to farmers. But they don't know that. They could move all Factories away from the river. But that would come at a 70% Job loss. So they need to have Trucks remove the chemical waste. Tell your government to provide Chemical dumping areas outside the city an stop ALL dumping in the water. People are dying from it.

This is a riveting documentary. As many people of India as possible need to watch it. Give those Bollywood films a rest, and watch this documentary. As for the cremations that take place daily by the river, sometimes as many as 200 daily, that won't stop anytime soon. But after seeing the floating half leg (15:38), I was mortified. It's bad enough all sorts of hellish things are dumped in the river, the body parts just finalized my opinion of these so called religious practices, as well as those companies that dump their poisons. I don't believe the Goddess Ganga had ever realized, nor had in mind as to how horrible her river would be treated. Pristine water coming from the Himalayas, is a gift and a blessing. Yet, so many are continuing to treat this river like a cesspool. I do have faith that things will eventually change. India has overcome so much as it is. There are dedicated Indians that are dedicating their lives for these changes, they will happen faster if they have greater support from it's citizens. The future of generations to come deserve it. Anyway, right or wrong, these are my thoughts on the matter.

Heavily polluted rivers were common in Western countries like the US, England and France when they industrialized. They've only begun cleaning up their acts starting in the 1960s. Even today, swimming in rivers like the Hudson, Mississippi, Delaware, Potomac, Ohio, etc. is prohibited or advised against near major American cities because sewer systems are designed to dump directly into them when become overwhelmed.
