This is a country where 17-year-old Binno had to die because she and her mother protested to a man urinating in public, right in front of their home in Delhi. The man, who was also under the influence alcohol, shot Binno after an argument ensued between the man and her mother.

However, all is not lost. At least, that’s how you feel when you come across a report on a small Rajasthan village where villagers have taken to beating drums and shaming someone if he is found urinating in public.
In a novel attempt by citizens of Rajasthan, small groups in 34 villages have armed themselves with drums and whistles and put up a vigil on the roads to shame people found urinating and defecating in public, Huffingtonpost reports.
