I almost lost a toe/foot due to the resistant bacteria in the Yamuna. Internal and International pressure must be brought to bear, to remedy this dire situation.

One thing that religion does very effectively is convince the masses that environmental and societal problems are not in their own hands, and are dictated by complex external processes which they will never understand.

"Spirituality" is a problem here. It's not part of the solution. This article is intellectual masturbation, imagining some interplay between science and religion. The truth is that we need less religion and more scientific awareness amongst the people in this region if they are to solve their human-created problems.
