Two Brave Boys Rescue Drowning Man From The Jaws of Death in The Ganges

In a remarkable act of bravery, two young men saved a man from drowning in the Ganges River after he was caught in a powerful water current.

According to eyewitnesses, the man suddenly lost his footing and began sinking into the fast-flowing river. Spotting the immediate danger, the two youth did not hesitate for a second. They courageously leapt into the strong currents, reached the struggling man, and quickly managed to pull him safely out of the water.

Thanks to the prompt action and alertness of these two brave individuals, the man’s life was saved. While this inspiring incident stands as a powerful example of humanity and courage, it also serves as a crucial reminder for everyone to exercise extreme caution before stepping into deep or fast-moving water bodies.

Can't imagine a worse river to jump in, let alone aspirate.

27

u/HoneypotCoco 4h ago

I just though about swallowing all that water. If aspiration wasn’t bad enough, there’s gotta be some sort of foreign body in there.

u/GH057_807 4h ago

There are literal dead human bodies in there. The Ganges is a sacred trash receptacle and one of the most horribly polluted bodies of water on the planet. A few billion gallons of raw sewage pour into it every day.

Sacred Raw Sewage, get it right.

u/Distredon 18m ago

No, actual sewage. Sacred sewage is just a an add on

Are you getting paid for this or your religion gives you bonus for these comments?..

u/GeraintLlanfrechfa 1h ago

When it eventually meets the ocean, probably about 0.27% of that Himalayan water is left

Nah, definitely a local.

u/kadinani 2h ago

You sepoys had to literally derange the conversation.. doyou even know where this location is before commenting water is dirty?.. just because your religion spreads hatred you don’t need to spread this in every post..maybe your religion gives bonus to post on kafirs.

•

u/enbycraft 16m ago

Lemme translate this for non-Indians.

"You're criticizing the level of pollution of this river which is sacred to us hindus. This is only possible if you are a muslim and Islam gives a bonus to post about non-muslims (kafirs)"

This is the state of delusion Indian hindus are living in.

u/kadinani 6m ago

Now the cat came out.. I never mentioned a religion name..but you obviously gave yourself up and proved my point.. have you seen the ganga in rishikesh?.. for me, fuc** all religions..

•

u/popular_tiger 42m ago

I agree with you that it’s not nice to see the top comment on this post being about water pollution rather than the act of bravery. But why are you stooping down to that low level and throwing hate against other people when you’re (rightfully) asking others to not do the same? (As an aside, you don’t even know their religion, or if they’re religious at all)

•

u/kadinani 41m ago

There is a proven phenomenon on this angle..I will leave at it..

•

u/WelderBubbly5131 5m ago

Bro I am a Hindu myself, and have no delusions about how polluted Ganga and Yamuna are.

Burnt dead bodies and industrial sewage both dumped in the same river cannot make for a clean one no matter how sacred it is.

Yamuna receives 58% of New Delhi's waste.

u/zjlmmfj3rd 4h ago

Could be completely wrong here, but I used Google Translate on the sign as the guy in the white shirt jumps in, states it’s prohibited to use soap in the water 😭

6

u/SapirWhorfHypothesis 4h ago

Probably for the best. Soap wouldn’t help the health of the river.

u/atomsmasher66 3h ago

Pouring a clean river into that river wouldn’t help it either

u/bothfetish 3h ago

The solution to polution is dilution, right?

Seriously River moves they jump in pull a guy out. Kudos to them for doing the right thing, can't say a required a lot of bravery though. Unless the bot was referring to the bacteria and toxin stew

Racists see a normal river with almost no large pieces of litter or waste, but cant stop spouting nonsense about the river coz racists.

u/uranusisaaplanet 24m ago

This is in haridwar, where in the river is near its start, the water is relatively clean here, and downstream it starts getting polluted with the ritual offerings. Quit your yapping

If anyone ever feels useless, think of the yellow shirt guy towards the end. Goes and stands there, blocking others, does not even once extend a hand to pull the boy out from the rescuers. Gaawd.

India scares the shit out of me. I'm a midwesterner who has traveled the rivers and lakes of of the US, and the Saraha to the Alps to Tokyo and everywhere in between but I don't have the nerve for India. Being in tech they also say that may not be a bad idea. I think North Korea, and Iran are likely places I'll never make it to either although I'd love too. I think India still scares me more than either of them too.

u/Sad_Mathematician259 2h ago

yeah cuz you are of low iq who gets info from social media. You think every river is dirty in india and people beat you up wherever u go or smth?

I'll just ignore rape culture and their level 4 travel warning to rural areas. Sorry to disrupt your rape culture.

Surely a Pakistani larper

u/Sad_Mathematician259 2h ago

1- the rape percentage in USA is FAR FAR FAR FAR higher???
2 - India is level 2 over all and level 4 areas exist in almost every fucking country??

So you are just plain racist huh calling me a rapist, did your parents not raise you right? if you believe in god you are sure as hell letting them down

I have prejudices, so do you. I am not a racist.

u/njan_ninde_thanda 2h ago

Buddy how obvious do you have to be to say North Korea or Iran is better than India. Its funny racists trying to virtue signal when they are racists. Your dislike of India has no objective or statistical merit. Its just your feelings or perception especially when you take north korea over India
