I'm a Bio student and so I know about mosquitoes and bacteria, viruses, amoebas, hook worms, etc. When Cao Cao came to the south, his men experienced a devastating effect of diseases caught over there. If you are an Indian living in India, you can survive better than a foreigner who hasn't got any form of natural defenses against such.
India has been plagued by weird germs or viruses that can kill very effectively. So, be wary of this place. Anyway, it's a slum, you will not be enjoying much anyway unless you are a National Geographic photographer wannabe.

On the contary i beg to differ.
You cannot compare them in this manner. Yes on a time scale rastafarians have not existed as long as those sadhus cos back then black awareness didn't exist cos no african was made a slave by the whites yet and haile selassie was not born yet.
it's the fact that they managed to spark a new movement and a religion in an ang moh dominated region and able to make a religion cool by incorporating it into music so widely known. Churches like chc and ncc would die to have some christian singer as famous as bob marley who isn't christian but a rasta man that can spread their church crap world wide. I don't think you'll find another religion where they have artists preaching about their religion in the music without sounding like a total bore. Christian rock singers are totally boring.
?? whats your point ? i wanted to go india is not because of the music ...i just wanted to see the life of the sahus aghoris . have a very different from society life where they do all these things to attain spiritual perfection. i respect them and i really appreciate them to keep the spirit on inspite of world moving into destruction in the name of civilisation. i think the aghori are amazing and accomplish things spiritually in one day that most people dont even get near in their entire lives.they renounce everything, they have no possessions, they live off of whatever people give them and what they scrounge up in the cremation grounds, and they live in what is the equivalent to someone living in a graveyard in america. It takes an amazing amount of will and determination to do what they do. I dont have any problem with aghoris eating human corpses or shit. the word aghora means one without hatred towards anything. they are proving their point. by the way , they make good photographing sessions
how come the thread within a few hours go from dead bodies in the ganges to rastafarian and sahu aghoris? I believe there has been too much "progress" in India. Modern living does not agree with that culture. I respect the Hindu religion ironically...and appreciate the fact that for many of the faithful, washing in the Ganges is an act of religious cleansing. It is just that there is just waaaay too many people in India liao... We kinda need some super cataclysmic event that wipes out a billion or so of them.
What pisses me off is that somehow there are some ang mohs and non indians that will give an excuse why it's okay for kelings to have that sort of river.
thankyou for your input ...next time before i go Varanasi , i think i better come back singapore to try authentic indian food as a warm up . btw , indian food in japan also taste differently then singapore indian food ..which i dont really like .
On a personal note, I have never stepped into India but did go to Sri Lanka during the tsunami to help out. Ironic, I know, given I dislike ah neh so much
My pt is rastafarians are cool, aghoris are not. India is a disgusting place and no thanks i'll them eating that shit, pulling off their balls on the internet.
What about african voodoo rituals?
You see what pisses me off is the double standards imposed. Like indians are so dirty and so backward cos their culture and religion is so cool and you see them praying to cows. Washing with dead bodies in the rivers, feeding rats milk and so on.
Yet if there was such a chinese custom or perhaps an african ritual did was in some odd way like that they find it totally offensive and disgusting.
Just some general rules I stick to when I go to India
Never eat anything that is not cooked. They usually serve uncooked cucumbers, onions, etc with the meal. Do NOT touch it.
NEVER eat food bought from the street vendors
Only drink bottled water(they call it mineral water) and make sure it's sealed. DO NOT drink water from bottles that are not packaged. My boss even use bottled water for brushing his teeth so if you are the Kiasu type, you might want to follow his example
Do not eat fruits that does not require you to peel the skin, e.g. apples, pears etc. I personally stay off all Indian fruits example Mangoes
Works for me so far
Many ang mohs will defend India because they want to use Indians to contain China. It is the only way to get an equally huge number of people on their side. The other reason is that India is a democracy similar to most of their political systems and the country India is a creation of Britain. There was no such country called India before the British came along. I believe if not for Sinophobia, the ang mohs will be using every opportunity to insult the Indians. Unfortunately, many gullible Indians are like SPGs, they think they somehow have a higher status because they are praised by the ang mohs.
Note that there are always good Indian people and it is important not to stereotype when meeting someone new. Generally, I find those who were born and grew up outside India to be easier to get along with than those who emigrated from India. Probably the same goes for Chinese.
by the way ...do you think there is fast food like mac in varanasi ? i think its safe to eat the mac ?
