If you go to the cities most of the rivers are awful but the rural areas have nice rivers. Still, Those Indians are lying

In my understanding, they believe that the river cleans itself because it is divine... That's why even if it's clearly polluted with trash and everything they still believe it is clean because of its divinity... A really twisted argument i must say...

Yes, human activity is destroying the river. They are doing it for religion but don't respect the river at all. You are right on everything except "leaving cows to become roadkill." Cows are sacred to Hindus everywhere. They are not roadkill. Think of them like pedestrians on a busy road. Why does an animal roaming freely, with humans regularly giving it food, remind you of roadkill?

Literally every religion is contrary, in most Christian sects having short hair is right for men because it shows outward holiness, although according to their own lore God gives strength to men with long hair (samson) An easier point is "God made all things perfect ,he makes no mistakes, except for those rotten homosexuals."

It's the lack of knowledge. Ganga has the fastest cleaning rate and has medicinal qualities to it's water. The water from Ganga river can remain clean for decades if you put it in a bottle. So all these qualities has led to it gaining the title of holy river. But there is a limit to how much a river can self clean. For thousands of years there was only limited pollution so Ganga was able to clean itself. In 2018, Clean Ganga movement was started since then Ganga has become clean again. However this problem still persists in Yamuna.

River has been holy for thousands of years. Trash,plastic and chemicals are an invention of 20th century.

This is what Colonialism and "Industrialization" have done. Destroyed native industries and skills in order to introduce machines to extract work from people like it's a resource. India and China used to produce high quality fabric at the cheapest prices as their default exports. Now we have the cheapest fabrics made for synthetic trash at low to high prices with higher quality fabrics being exclusive to the wealthy. Is it really such a bad thing if China and India are working together to regain their lost status? America seems to think so. But then again, America and Britain have shoehorned us into capitalism where we can no longer survive without being slaves to an exploitative organization and work 9-5 while they also attempt to control their brand image through you by censoring every aspect of your life and what you can post, wear or say.

Colonisation didn't cause this, the corruption of the Governments makes this happen. During the British rule the streets were clean it was when they left it went downhill.
