I thought that villagers in rural india normally made it to the nearest railway track for a crap or a piddle (see https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-27775327 ), but I suppose that sometimes the railway is just too far away when you are desperate.
The article I quoted says that 48% of the 1.6 billion Indians do not have access to lavatories, so about 750 million do it in the open. No wonder they want to come here where the place doesn't always smell of shit, although it seems that they bring their other vices with them, like having religious riots.
I see that Pakistanis have the same problem, although only 22 million of the 200 million population according to this report: https://www.eco-business.com/news/open-defecation-how-are-22-million-pakistanis-living-without-basic-sanitation/
At around 500g per turd, that's 375,000 tons of shit per day in India, and 11,000 tons per day in Pakistan.
In the UK, it seems that pikey travellers like to shit in the open.
