Bizarre video of women worshipping a dustbin outside Bihar temple goes viral!
India is known around the world as the sacred land. We have many diverse religions that are practised and many that were founded in our country.
In India practically everything is worshipped, from the sun, the sky, the land, plants, animals, trees, but a new video shows a surprising entry into this list: a dustbin!
A shocking video of a bunch of women worshipping a dustbin allegedly outside a temple in Bihar is making rounds on social media, the bizarre video shows women putting tilak on the bin, pouring water and flowers over it and then praying to it.
This is a scene outside a temple in Bihar when a dustbin was kept for the first time. #viaWA pic.twitter.com/zUUOOSaUTg

The video reveals the extreme level of ignorance that continues to prevail in our apparently 'developing' country.
Twitterati had quite a few polarised opinions on the happenings in the video, while some criticised the ignorance of the people, some marvelled at how people continue to be so 'innocent'.
Sad to see lack of awareness to this extent.

Poor, uneducated & innocent ppl not aware of dustbins in fancy shapes. Being in front of temple thought it to be devotional. Don't laugh at.

I'm tempted to laugh, but something about that utter lack of exposure - call it simplicity is touching.

However the criticism aimed at the government was there in almost every response:
And we are expecting these innocent people to understand demon, GST and Bank recapitalization.. 😕 Quite a challenge, really @fromkodur

Cant blame the people who are brought up in a culture where superstition prevails. A normal dustbin with proper instructions was needed.
