Indians choose to wash with water, which stems from cultural beliefs. In Hinduism, purity is very important.

Therefore, for the ass, the answer is also very clear in the multiple-choice question of choosing water and toilet paper. Indians will choose water.
Indians have a set of rules about defecation, such as washing with water after defecation, using your right hand at work, short nails, using soap or ashes before leaving the bathroom, etc. If any Indian (applicable to all religions in India) is found not to obey the rules, he will be reminded by his peers that he has an obligation to abide by the culture and traditions of ancient India or to keep it clean.
Indians choose water washing, which is also limited by material conditions. The appearance of toilet paper has a history of 100 years. Before that, the earliest record was the Tang Dynasty in 85 1 year, but these were not available to ordinary people. Before toilet paper enters the market, wiping with toilet paper or something similar to toilet paper consumes material rather than money.
The World Health Organization found that nearly half of India's population has no toilets at home, and many people still often go to public toilets outside. Because water is easier to obtain than other substances, it is simple and cheap to add a spray hose next to the toilet. This practice has continued to India and many countries today.

Why don't western countries change toilet paper into water? Some westerners who have always used toilet paper have been to countries where washing with water is mandatory. Some of them are used to the comfort of water, especially those who have been to Japan. Some of them even brought back the "Toto Washlet" toilet seat from Japan and installed it in their own homes in the United States and other places. Almost all of these converters said that they would no longer use toilet paper. But most westerners still think toilet paper is the best, and washing it with water is still too disgusting. There are several reasons for this mentality:
1. The dependence on toilet paper is becoming more and more serious.
The use of toilet paper has a long history. Americans invented the first commercial modern toilet paper in 1857. By the 1970s, America could no longer imagine life without toilet paper. Even now, every family spends a lot of money on toilet paper every month. At present, the United States alone spends more than $654.38+000 billion on toilet paper every year.
With the improvement of production technology and products, more and more people buy and rely on these toilet papers. Because some interest groups will advocate the benefits of using toilet paper and belittle other ways, such as vilifying "unsanitary and uncivilized" water use, so that people can buy it.
2. Driven by commercial interests
The toilet paper industry provides employment opportunities for thousands of people all over the world. Some people are loggers, distributors and retailers of finished products in processing and manufacturing factories. In this industry, the profit of a company in the United States alone is sometimes as high as $500 million. With the increase of manufacturing cost, with the passage of time, toilet paper will only become more expensive and more profitable. India's method cannot bring them economic benefits. Who will mention it?
3. Sense of superiority and self-esteem.
Although some westerners know the benefits of water, one of the reasons why they still insist on using toilet paper is that they have a sense of superiority and self-esteem. They think that since "they" use toilet paper, that is the only correct way, and everyone else is wrong. Some of them ridiculed and harassed water users, calling them "backward" and "third world". Therefore, many users switch to toilet paper or hide the fact of using water.
Nowadays, Indians usually have a hose (sometimes called "burning gun") or a faucet sprayer with a small bucket (called "Lota") near the toilet. This is also common in Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh. After defecation, rinse the area thoroughly with a sprayer, then pat the water dry with a paper towel and wash your hands with soap. It's like we take a shower, take a shower and then pat ourselves dry with a dry towel … and then wash our hands with soap. "
Because Indians sometimes use their fingers, they don't leave their left fingernails. In underdeveloped rural areas, it is also common to wash hands with ashes of fire instead of soap.
Indians pay more and more attention to hygiene and health. With the development of the times, ideas are also changing. Some young Indians are getting used to using toilet paper. In a survey of more than 1000 Indians, 63.7% said they never used toilet paper, 25. 17% said they sometimes used toilet paper, and 3.48% said they often used it.
An Indian who switched to toilet paper once expressed such feelings: Why do Indians live only 60-65 years? Take his mother as an example, he said: Even though the fingers on her left hand have been washed every day for 62 years, it still smells like shit. She cooks with the same fingers, which is why I often get sick. I have been using toilet paper since I separated for ten years, and I have never been sick for ten years.
Conclusion As far as the cigarette end itself is concerned, if you take off the cultural eye mask, washing it with water is definitely better than washing it with paper. But if you can't clean your hands thoroughly, it will endanger your health and life. It is a cultural phenomenon as well as an economic phenomenon that Indians choose to use water. The original intention of Indians to choose water should be to clean the body and soul, not just the skin.
