The Ugly Indian Gives an Inspiring TEDx Talk that Every Indian Must Watch

India is a filthy country. We are a population with a dismal civic sense. The worst part is that we have gotten used to the filth around us. The current Indian Prime Minister’s call for a clean India (Swachh Bharat Abhiyan) is commendable. The Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi had encouraged people to create a clean country. But there is a group of anonymous Indians who are taking it into their hands to clean up their surroundings without waiting for government to act.

Meet the Ugly Indians. These brave initiative takers gather up and clean the spaces and paint them. About 90% spaces they have “saved” have remained so for months. The movement is growing and reaching different parts of India.

Listen to this exceptionally inspirational speech by one of these anonymous ‘Ugly Indians’. It will literally motivate you to take on your cleaning supplies and become an Ugly Indian yourself.
