rdquo;Stand-up comedian Sorabh Pant also believes that people need to focus more on the infrastructure side of things. The opposition has simply given her post more traction than it would have otherwise got, so in a way, itrsquo;s actually helped her cause,rdquo; he explains. A number of people would actually want to go to public toilets but are unable to do so because there arenrsquo;t any; I have spoken to a number of them and they have told me this themselves,rdquo; he says. Hyderabad also had a similar campaign where they were made to wear garlands as a sarcastic mark of shaming. The consensus is that she should not have shamed the man, especially since she comes from a place of privilege. ldquo;I have a problem with naming and shaming individuals in any kind of situation, this being only one of them. I donrsquo;t have a problem with Twinklersquo;s tweet, because she was probably just trying to be funny. While her thought may have been noble as she tried to highlight the issue brought forward in her husbandrsquo;s film, Twitterati and Instagrammers slammed the actress for the way she did it. Of course in cities, more public toilets also need to be built, especially for the sake of women, who also face safety issues from not having proper facilities to use.

While a number of people are disagreeing with her, a much larger part of the population would agree. That is what the government needs to focus on right away.Twinkle Khannarsquo;s Instagram post where she is mocking a man defecating on plastic stool chair Manufacturers a public beach has been getting a lot of flak on the Internet. ldquo;Whether she is coming from a place of privilege or not, the fact of the matter is that she is right and you canrsquo;t overlook that.However, shaming has been used by several platforms countrywide as a way to combat urination and defecation in public places. Aakar Patel believes that shaming people only adds to their embarrassment, while having little effect on the issue itself. This kind of vigilantism, where you identify people and try to expose them, is not something that should be encouraged, by the government or an actress, or anyone really,rdquo; he says, adding, ldquo;In a country like India, where the law system is anyway slow, it is even more dangerous to take these actions, since it may incite mob violence. However, for the government to have campaigns shaming people to the correct path is rather ironic, since they are the ones that need to take action and create more facilities for the people,rdquo; he asserts.

Twinkle took to the beach and snapped a photo of a man while he was squatting out in the sand. So, shaming is one tool that can be used to get that end result, but it must be used hand-in-hand with improvement of facilities,rdquo; he signs off.Ad-guru Prahlad Kakkar on the other hand disagrees, going so far as to applaud Twinkle for opening up a crucial debate.While urinating and defecating in public spaces is definitely a nuisance, shaming may not be the best way to go about eradicating the issue ldquo;There are subsidies being offered by the government so that people in villages build toilets in their own homes.On the issue of public defecation and urination itself, Prahlad thinks that the government is doing its bit, but a long road still remains.Pritish Nandy agrees. ldquo;Even in one of Indiarsquo;s most so-called developed cities mdash; Mumbai mdash; you will find wide stretches with no public toilet. A campaign was held in Mumbai last year wherein people urinating at the roadside would have their picture taken and put up online as a public nuisance. Also, one needs to look at the fact that diseases like e-coli can spread from defecation in the soil. ldquo;What a lot of people overlook is that we donrsquo;t have facilities and infrastructure for public toilets, even in the city. ldquo;Good morning and I guess here is the first scene of Toilet Ek Prem Katha part 2, (sic) rdquo; the actress wrote in the caption
