Everywhere I go I see trash and pollution. Even tier 1 cities have this problem. Only exception case is Indore. Even countries poorer than India have cleaner streets. Is it a cultural problem or an infrastructural one? It is ironic how ancient and medieval India used to be so aesthetically pleasing but fell so bad. I have low hopes even though I always try to do my part in keeping public places clean, even if it may be futile, by not littering unlike everyone else. Is there any hope for the future?

cultural issue. it has to be instilled in every school like military indoctrination. special purpose government officials and laws need to be created and fundamentally the whole waste management system of the country has to be thought over again maybe with international help. did you know that there is virtually no garbage collection / management in panchayat areas? this is seen as not being a problem.
Both cultural and infrastructural, but mainly cultural. People litter every where even if it is good places people still litter I always try to keep places clean, but my friends they litter every where and when I stop them they don't listen so it is mainly cultural

How do you know that? how do you know that it is not a meme just like the sone ki chidiya meme? And how do you know that it was not always like it is currently (minus the plastic) ?

Brussels literally built over an entire river to cover itself up because it looked disgusting and was extremely polluted
>This left a flow too feeble to evacuate the filthy water, leaving the sewage, garbage, detritus and industrial waste that had been dumped into the river to accumulate in the stagnant water.[13][14] The Senne, which a witness in 1853 described as "the most nauseous little river in the world", had become an open-air sewer spreading pestilential odours throughout the city.[15][16] Early in the second half of the 19th century, Brussels saw numerous dry periods, floods and a cholera epidemic, caused as much by the river itself as by the poverty and the lack of hygiene and potable water in the lower city.[17][14] This forced the governments of the Province of Brabant and the City of Brussels to act.[18]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covering_of_the_Sennehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covering_of_the_Senne

Accounts of foreign travellers in India.
I meant to emphasize that for a cultural that was known for it's vibrancy and art is contrasting to what we see now.
