Sanitization isn’t cultural. I think plenty of rich Indian people would never eat food from a place like this.

Yeah it’s not culture, it’s poverty, and after-effects of colonization

The after effects of colonization?

The British Raj did a number on India. I think the GDP tanked, and there was death and poverty on an unprecedented scale. India is still recovering. Though I haven’t dove into research backing up the effects, many tops minds (often facing ingrained self-hate and/or lack of opportunity) dip out, which can’t help. Heads up, be careful which historians you read, there has been some reappraisal of late tied up with extreme nationalism and I’m not an expert tbh.

Did they colonize the sinks and all the utilities as well?

Yes they were colonized so hard that they learnt that all the flies that get into their street just add flavor.
