The streets of Southall, a city with a large Indian population in London, are being discussed. A video has emerged about this. Southall, which has several temples, saree shops and Punjabi restaurants, is known as a cultural center for the Indian community.

The video shows piles of garbage such as empty cans, plastic bottles and food wrappers lying around a park. The video was shared on Instagram by an Indian YouTuber based in the UK. He says that Southall and nearby Wembley have a large Indian population and that the piles of garbage and waste are ruining the beauty of the area.

The video has received nearly five million views and many comments. Some have suggested that Indians lack civic sense and are not ashamed to break the rules. Another said that people in India often take pride in things like littering and not following traffic rules. Many stressed the need for education to improve civic awareness in society. The YouTuber reminded that keeping the environment clean is everyone's collective responsibility. He added that local authorities also have a role to play in maintaining cleanliness and that no single group should be blamed for the problems.
