Frankly I'd take Steve Jobs over those two. People who want to do "good" to boost their (and their nations') egos are rather dangerous. When you fight a war for "righteousness" rather than greed, you're one awful enemy…
It's not just India. They do it for countries ranging from Russia to China to Japan/Korea. The spin - not surprisingly - often matches whatever the current US geopolitical stance is at that point.
AFAIK no one poops in the river either (that would be one tricky feat); they poop on fields adjoining the banks and wash up afterwards. In places like Haridwar one gets screamed at for as little as putting the footwear…
HN is one step away from becoming 4chan.
Can you blame them though ? If you've been to one of these old roadside stops, you'll know how bad Indian toilets stink. I'm guessing the lack of piped water does not help.
