Public divided over ‘civic sense’ on social media: New war breaks out

Gaurav in the caption of his video ‘Difference between North and South people’ (difference between people of North and South), which gave rise to a huge debate on the internet. Gaurav believes that we always think that cleanliness can be maintained only in premium trains with expensive fares, but the passengers of this common train proved that if citizens want, then the system can be kept clean even without railway staff.

After watching this video, social media users have divided into two factions:






Users’ perspective their main argument
South Indian supporters Many users say that due to higher literacy rate in the states of South India, the common citizens there have a lot of civic sense and responsibility to keep public properties clean, whereas in North India, people spread garbage even in third AC coaches.
neutral and nationalist viewpoint People on the other side believe that dirtiness or cleanliness is not related to any region (North or South), but to personal thinking. There are good and bad citizens everywhere. Instead of dividing the country on regional basis or fighting among ourselves, we all should together focus on making the entire India clean (Swachh Bharat).

Strong message: Cleanliness is not only the government’s responsibility, it is also our responsibility.

This viral video is a big lesson for every railway passenger in the country. This proves that no matter how many modern machines the Railways installs, the condition of the country’s trains cannot be improved unless the passengers themselves become aware and take a pledge to throw garbage in the dustbin.
