BTW, that water looks dirty as crap. I wouldn't even step foot in it; especially knowing what people do in rivers in India (take baths, go to the toilet, burn dead bodies, wash dishes, bathe animals .... etc. etc.)

BTW BTW: Does anybody else think that the post in the water was set there so people shouldn't go beyond it?

I was just thinking about how nasty that water must be. Don't they burn their dead on funeral pyres, down by the river?

Traditionally, the common practice among Hindus is to burn the body on a pyre as it floats down the river.

In reality, poor people can't afford the appropriate amount of wood to burn the corpse properly. So, that's why people will often see partially burned bodies floating down the river. That's when the real hilarity ensues ~~

You'll see people bathing and brushing their teeth in the river as decomposing corpses float by...

I'm calling bullshit. Nobody sucks that bad at filming a video.

Yeah I mean Id like to say he was pulled under by the current, but the way he was flapping his arms in the air and slapping the water shows he clearly doesnt know how to swim. That current looked pretty tame, even a novice swimmer could have stayed afloat.

He would have probably set himself on fire at some point anyway

I get the feeling that no one in India can fucking swim.

The moment you realize his hand movements offer him no real help and he doesn't know better to change to a fish stroke.

I don't know about you, but if I wasn't able to swim, I'd be avoiding any bodies of water like the fucking plague. I'll never understand these pricks going into the water when they don't know how to swim. Bodies of water/pools would be at the very top of my list of places to avoid.

The river was his waist deep
