A video showing a Nepali man making a group of Indian tourists clean gutka stains from a street has gone viral, sparking widespread debate on social media about civic sense and responsible tourism. The footage captures the moment the man confronted the tourists, who were seen spitting gutka from a moving vehicle, and asked them to pour water and clean the mess.

In the video, the Nepali resident can be heard scolding the tourists: “Yeh India nahi hai bhai…Nepal hai…Paani daalo jaldi” (“This is not India, brother… This is Nepal… Pour water quickly”). The tourists appeared embarrassed and apologised repeatedly, complying with his instructions to clean the road. The local man highlighted the irony of visitors from a “big country” creating public dirt abroad, urging them to take responsibility rather than just apologise.

The clip, which has amassed millions of views, has divided viewers. Many praised the man for holding the tourists accountable on the spot, with several Indian social media users appreciating his insistence on action rather than words. Others criticised the man for generalising all Indians and argued that the tourists’ immediate apology demonstrated accountability.

Some comments focused on the broader issue of civic responsibility. One user noted, “If the government bans pan, tobacco, gutka, and alcohol, India can see a 95 per cent correction in civilian behaviour.” Another highlighted the importance of respecting host nations, urging that actions should not generalise or stigmatise visitors.

The incident has reignited discussions on public hygiene and traveller etiquette, with many calling it a reminder that civic sense and personal responsibility extend beyond national borders. It also underscores the importance of tourists being mindful of the local environment and cultural expectations while visiting foreign countries.
