Makes you wonder if it's something in the water.
Lots of untreated sewage and the ashes of cremated people. Given that their cremation abilities aren't the best, there's also bits of not-so-cremated-people and the critters that gnaw on them.
(edit - oh, and I almost forgot - there's the still-living people taking holy baths in the same water, for ritualistic "cleansing" ---- India's going to be the most populous planet (and this is w/out Pakistan and Bangladesh, which used to be included w/ India) - in part the reason why so much weird crap comes out of the place is pure numbers).
