It's the BBC website in Pidgin. Pidgin appears to be how you speak after a serious knock to the head.

I live in India most of the year and unfortunately seeing someone take a dump or urinate in the open is a normal day thing as you drive through some of the outer elements of the city (sometimes internal as well).
A number of years ago the Indian government spend a small fortune installing toilets for the poorer classes in the remote areas of India to realize sometime later that no one was using them. They simply prefer to do it outside by squatting on the side of the road.
Unfortunately the longer you get here the more you get used to it.
A couple of years ago a maid who we hired to work in one of our houses asked if she could use our toilet. She went into our wet room and instead of using the porcelain.....she simply did what she had to do on the floor, and used the shower to wash it down the drain. When my wife sacked her, she genuinely had no idea that what she was doing was grim.
The number one problem is the lack of education in India, and its the number one reason it will never catch up to the developed world however much it tries.
Two steps forward, and one back.

Has someone spilled a bowl of alphabetti spaghetti onto the BBC website?
Here is a part of the report from the BBC. The last paragraph is very disturbing.
"In villages, women have to wait until sunset to answer nature's call. This is not only physical cruelty but also outraging the modesty of a woman."
Indian media said the woman had filed for divorce in 2015.
Urination and defecation in open fields is common in parts of rural India. The government has set a goal to provide every household with a toilet by 2019, but the work has been met with some resistance.
Women's safety and discomfort is a key reason for the investment, as many are forced to travel to the fields during the hours of darkness.
Even where toilets have been built, many do not use them, despite the spread of diseases associated with faeces.
Last year, Unicef estimated that about half the population of India do not use toilets.

I confess I thought that site was a satire. Wow, another thumbs up from a license fee payer!
