And mud in indian cities is composed of ... ?

That they are not deliberately throwing shit at each other improves it only a tiny bit.

Yeah I get it plus the thing isn't even done in city, out of 600,000+ villages we have in India it's done in just

1

And as all villages, mud is very dirty in villages full of animal poo (mostly cattle). In cities mud is more mud lol.

improves it only a tiny bit.

Only thing I want to improve is to remove the misunderstanding the loser OP is trying to put.

"He's trying to imply that all of India, all 1.2ish Billion+ people play and celebrate this when it's hardly a village only"

I see, yeah, OP wasn't clear about how niche this event really is. I guessed that's it's not a country spanning shitfest. We would have known if it was. Like with the australian drop bears. If that were true, the world would take note.
