（单词翻译）

 I don't really understand, Hinduism the faith teaches respect and love for nature, this is the sacred Ganges, why are Indians doing this to the Ganges?

Even i can't understand this, this is the river we worship and revere1 and whose waters we consider holy, yet we remain silent about its desecration2.
S claimed the pollution is caused by other towns and cities on the Ganges, and not by them. Water and sanitation3 remains4 a colossal5 issue in India, up to 600 million people here don't have access to a toilet, one study discovered the bacteria from sewage in the Ganges was 12,000 times permissible6 levels for bathing. The Ganges and other Indian rivers are horrifically polluted, and successive Indian governments have failed to clean them up.
I travelled another 200 miles to Varanasi, one of the most sacred Hindu holy cities.
