‘I've no problem cleaning…': Foreigner picks up trash near Himachal waterfall, urges locals to keep it clean
In the viral video, the foreigner can be seen walking towards the waterfall and picking up litter around the rocks while several Indian visitors sat near the tourist spot. 'I sit up here and watch and ask people to pick them up. I do that! I have no problem cleaning here,' he says in the video.
As the video continues, he walks towards the dustbin with several plastic wrappers in his hands and dumps them. 'Shameful a foreign tourist is more concerned about nature's beauty while local tourists keep shamelessly littering such stunning places. No govt or administration is to be blamed — it's the people who need to change if we ever want a clean country. Video from Kangra, Himachal,' an X user Nikhil Saini wrote on X.

The video quickly drew attention, igniting outrage against locals and Indian tourists, who lacked social responsibility. 'Hv said it many times. Need a generational shift in the mindset. Teach your children that it is bad. I hv seen people telling their kids to throw trash out of the car. Civic sense is zero amongst us,' a user wrote. 'There's a reason Indian tourists are often shamed and looked down upon. It's not just to do with racism but also our pathetic behaviour and 'chalta hai' attitude,' another user commented.
'Absolutely shameful. Until people change their mindset, no amount of rules or governance can keep our country clean,' a third user reacted.

Indian Man Explains Why He Loves Living In Canada: ‘Sab Rules Follow Karte Hai Yaha'
Last Updated: An Indian content creator living in the North American country shared the number of things he loves about Canada and why he doesn't wish to return anytime soon. An Indian man living in Canada shared a viral post, explaining why he cherishes his life in the North American country and doesn't want to return to India. Sahil Narang, a content creator, posted a video highlighting the benefits of living in Canada with a Hindi voice-over. Narang spoke about the number of facilities offered to the residents by the Canadian government, including minimum wage and job security. 'These are the main reasons I absolutely love living in Canada and why I'm still not ready to leave this country," said Narang as he introduced himself in the video captioned 'Why I love living in this Country". 'Hi, my name is Sahil, and I have been living in Canada for more than three years. In Canada, every province has its minimum wage. No matter what job you do, you are guaranteed to earn at least that amount. And trust me, if you're talented and have solid experience in a good field, you can end up earning a great deal here." The content creator also made it a point to share how even the privileged lot of Canadian society follows the rules and regulations put in place by the authorities. 'Here, everyone follows the rules, regardless of whether you're rich or poor. The best part is that there is no enforcement to make people follow them; they choose to follow the rules on their own," Narang said. Further on life in Canada, the content creator spoke about the beauty of the country and how the festivities organised by the government give residents plenty to look forward to regularly. 'Canada is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. The government does a lot for its residents, organising so many festivals that they truly make you feel at home," he said. 'Every day, every week, every month, there is always something happening, whether it is snowing heavily, scorching hot, or anything in between. This country never stops. If you're doing well and earning well, you will experience the best days of your life here."
