Today, when toilet paper is so popular, why do Indians go to the toilet without paper?

On the American version of Zhihu Quora, someone asked why most Indians don't use paper toilets.

See how Indians answer this question that puzzles China people.

A highly educated Indian software engineer answered this question. He always has 5600 likes, which I believe represents the opinions of many Indians.

Because I felt unclean, I was scared by toilet paper. What? How dirty is the toilet paper in India?

At the same time, he further explained that Indians basically wash their bottoms with hand-held nozzles, and they must be left-handed.

An Indian college student's explanation is not unreasonable. His explanation is climate conditions, which won 2200 praises.

The only answer to all these questions is: climatic conditions. Because western countries are too cold to wash with water. Indians are in the tropics, and the climate is hot, so there is no problem of low temperature, so Indians naturally wash with water.

Another Italian student's answer received a lot of praise.

Only we, like Indians, find it disgusting to use only toilet paper. We Italians wash with water first, and then wash our hands with soap.

It seems that the cognition of China people is quite different from that of Indian Asan.

As a native of China, what do you think?
