How to use an Indian toilet?
July 7th, 2007
Jesse points out to this detailed set of instructions he found in a Kovalam hotel. Instructions are backed up with illustrations to show how you can use traditional Indian toilet. We can probably think of starting a “indian toilet corporation” as a subsidiary to tourism department. Then politicians can take up the top positions in it and enjoy!
Jokes apart, do take look at this! The comments section are very funny and there is some “frank” discussion going on!

For example,
Being a U.K born indian, i have been brought up using water/hand to wash the behind, using just toilet paper has always left me feeling unclean. Having to use the toilet outside the home environment always means keeping some form of water bottle to use when out. My experience of using toilets in India have been varied. Even though they are designed to use water, they can be uncomfortable when required to squat. I also feel that I have to strip from the waste down in order to go to avoid having any accidents. My main critisism would be that I found many that were not clean and the way not door peg to hang your trousers on if required. I am not sure if other people manage to go with their trousers still dangling around their ankles???
