India has more Phones than Toilets

[Mr Happy]

The results of a survey out show that their are more phones than Toilets in Indian Homes.

"Data unveiled late Tuesday said 47 percent of the country's 330 million households have toilet facilities, but that 63 percent of homes have telephone connections -- mostly mobiles."

That's pretty much the whole story but you can read more at

I think it's really weird.


edit for people who don't understand:

This is household not person. Saying your granny, brother, sister has a phone or that you have 5 phones doesn't mean anything. It's household. A house is a house not a person.

It's Indian census data which is official not some small shitty survey of a few random people.

This is the only recorded country in the world to have more phones than toilets.

1] You shouldn't believe these type of stats, they can never be correct
2] Wont explain much but only 47% has toilets & 67% has phones is utterly stupid statement Being Indian I know better

Indians are work hard people don't like to shitting all day like all others. (Jok)

The Phone and Age Ratio: (Maybe this helps you to understand)
Age 5-12 = Must has a cell phone
Age 13-20 = 2/5 Cell phones
Age 21-30 = 2/8 Cell Phones
Age 31-60+ = 1/2 Cell phones

That's why the Ratio status like that. Make a stupid counts just makes you a Moran. Nothing else.

OK I've edited the first post. Please note the following:
