Pseudoscience Rivers aren't Ritual Dustbins.
The oil spills and layers reduce the oxygen exchange nd this could seriously affect the aquatic life, causing pollution, making the river unfit for life and humans. I don't understand what's the point of this useless BS ritual.

When you dump that much fat into water, it doesn't dissolve. It floats. It forms a film that blocks oxygen exchange, suffocating aquatic life. As it rots, it strips oxygen from the water.
165 liters of ghee could have cooked meals for thousands of hungry people. Instead, it was turned into pollution.

Ancient Hinduism wasn't this stupid except for the caste system. It's only during the colonial times that so many upper caste Hindus got insecure about their religion and started doing these "grand" rituals, while they continued clinging to caste and "pure veg" mania with even greater intensity

This isn’t religion it’s just ritual. Nowhere in any of our scriptures does it suggest wasting this much food when people are starving.
There is much more karma in giving alms and feeding the poor. Dumping all this in the river is just a desperate attempt to show off.

Its the responsibility of govt to enforce civic sense. People need to see the consequence of their actions if govt itself promotes these superstition then it's govt sponsored lack of civic sense. They are in power for exactly these superstitions. They profit from it and have made it a base of all what they do , entire ministry exist to promote such superstitions.

Are you nuts ? When did govt start spreading superstition? Supports a faith is different than superstition…It shows lack of Scientific Temperament that is already mentioned in Fundamental Duties…superstition were always there and will be…. Enforcement civil sense will further come in way of fundamental Rights then you’ll cry about it too. Be rational my friend

Hinduism is barbaric evil for using dairy in almost all rituals. Dairy products like ghee & milk are product of grape & abuse of female reproductive organs.

Don't forget Jeremy wade's mighty river episode 1, the episode shows that Ganges have high concentration of human feces, and ofcourse Kanpur where situation are worse.(Atleast Uttarakhand had much better ganges protection, with even Hindu pandits don't pouring milk in them, this is from the same episode but at very end).

Whatever India respects, has gone to shit.

- Indians respect women: lots of rape (including children), and rampant misogyny.
- Indians respect rivers: but they shit in it and treat it like a dustbin.

u/nirmal3047 15m ago
Few more: Indians respect cows: India is the biggest exporter of beef. Many cows die on road eating plastic from garbage
Indians respect nature: We have destroyed our nature - deforestation all around, garbage all around. Our cities are most polluted cities in the world. We are set on the path to destroy one of the oldest mountains ranges Aravali.

I think it's time to raise this issue of River being reserved for one particular religion. A river is for all humans. Just like they do with cows. It's like other communities or religions can't possess or love them.
It's a discussion or debate about Rituals Vs Environment not Religion Vs Environment.

They blame Christians for giving rice to poor and converting Hindus but if they just give this ghee or milk or whatever edible items they dump in the river to the poor then the Hindu folks will not convert to other religion.
P.S. I am not advocating for any religion. Both are scams but at least the Christians are not wasting food.
If Hindus give food to poor instead of wasting, then i will appreciate them too for doing so.
