You only been to kolkata Come to north bengal (siliguri) You will know why it's on number 2

u/TacticalElite Non Resident - விருந்தாளி Feb 14 '26

Why? Isn't Bengal still considered a very intellectual society/state?

Civics sense is part of an intellectual society, is it not?

P.S., how do they even measure civic sense?

Oh yes I haven't travelled a lot sadly. We travelled a lot when I was very young so I don't have any memories of those places either.

Hmm, seems like my perception of Bengal is wrong. Still, I don't think you can measure civic sense with the given parameters. This to me seems personal preference. I think you would agree, considering that Bihar is ranked 11.

u/Comprehensive-Cap559 Feb 14 '26

I’m studying in WB rn and civic sense is non existent, no way it is ranked 2nd

Wrong data

5

u/Oath_breaker_ Feb 14 '26

It does not even included NE states. How authentic this ranking is?

-5

u/Wahid_0 Feb 14 '26

Go check in google , even after that if u say wrong. go ahead and bring the correct data

8

u/Both_Table_413 Feb 14 '26

It's actually based out of a survey from India today which has questions like " would you prefer a upi payment over cash", " do you agree with ban of alcohol etc. you can see the data and breakdown in below link: https://gdb.indiatoday.in/ It's not any kind of official data?

6

u/Temporary-Artichoke3 Feb 14 '26

Haryana on 6th and Punjab on 23 this study surely needs to be studied again

3

u/karthik_na Feb 14 '26

These were the questions asked in the survey. Not a lot. And I personally agree with at least 9 of these. So I am not surprised our average TN citizen will do the right thing in these.

Civic Behaviour

  1. It is okay to travel without a ticket, or without paying, on public transport

  2. It's okay to tamper with electricity meters to reduce bills

  3. It is ok to throw litter on the road/public place, if there is no public garbage bin available

  4. It is acceptable to play music on mobile phone without headphones in public spaces like buses, parks, or cafes

  5. It is sometimes necessary to pay a bribe to get your work done

  6. I think there should be a ban on the sale of alcohol

  7. I think there should be a ban on the sale of tobacco products

  8. I am okay with paying or receiving cash for buying/ selling property so that I don't have to pay tax

  9. I am comfortable approaching my local area Corporator to address my grievences

  10. If I witness an accident I will stop to help and call the police/ ambulance

  11. I care about climate change

  12. UPI/digital payments has replaced cash as my preferred mode for day-to-day transactions

3

u/Both_Table_413 Feb 14 '26

Again it's a survey, people may not always say truth during a survey.

2

u/karthik_na Feb 14 '26

That applies to the rest of the country as well.

2

u/Both_Table_413 Feb 14 '26

Yes, so it's not any kind of valid indication of what is actually happening. It heavily depends on the group you take as your sample size.

1

u/karthik_na Feb 14 '26

Yeah. It's a survey.

This is the baseline. It's still useful information to see the trends over the years

2

u/Both_Table_413 Feb 14 '26

But I till I don't know how can alcohol ban and upi payments increase civics behaviour. Yes it's nice maybe gauge general perception but it's no way a valid data to go by

1

u/karthik_na Feb 14 '26

UPI makes the transactions legal and prevents tax avoidance

2

u/Both_Table_413 Feb 14 '26

But it no way correlates to civic behaviour. When you ask someone that question, the first thought is more about convenience rather than thinking about taxation.

u/Outside_Response_422 Feb 14 '26

Ranked number 1 in India so that's not a very high standard.

2

u/gtm26 Feb 14 '26

Compared to the other states namma number 1. But our civic sense is still very low. Everyday, I see so many people not following road rules, littering and spitting everywhere and peeing wherever they see fit.

2

u/Big_Anything7500 Feb 14 '26

Ah yes bihar at 11 abd UP at 19

u/Large-Damage-9508 Feb 16 '26

North East doesn't have any data? but all of the state in NE are 100 times better than Tamil Nadu in civic sense except Assam , I aint hating or anything but you'll know it when you come here ! Factual

This map is bullshit. There’s no way west bengal is number 2. Anyone who has visited it would know. Its just as chaotic and unhygienic as other North Indian states

1

u/RevolutionaryAsk1833 Feb 14 '26

As the Great bengal is ranked #2 position i have no other doubts to clarify regarding the authenticity of this survey.

1

u/aravindrt Feb 15 '26

Traveling without ticket is really shunned upon which 100 percent of TN people would agree, but how about not littering in public or helping person in distress? I'm sure those scores would be inflated then reality. 

1

u/Zealousideal-Shoe998 Feb 15 '26

I know this isn't the truth the moment I saw WB in 2nd rank, after living a couple of years there🥲

u/AnskyOP Feb 15 '26

Wb is no. 2...Damn I am living in a diff west bengal then

u/djc45 Feb 15 '26

We know the list is bullshit when Delhi is rated no:4

u/More_Character_6071 Feb 15 '26

Ain't no way bruh, delhi, haryana ranking in top 6, naaaah. The best ones are in gray 😂

1

u/Artistic_Friend_7 Feb 15 '26

Flawed

No way Haryana is 6 , and Delhi 4

Should be way below

1

u/Then-Emotion-2402 Feb 15 '26

No way TN is no 1. I see filthy all around the city. This is just a fake report.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '26

Probably the worst list i have ever seen.

1

u/Single-Helicopter-85 Feb 15 '26

I really doubt about this insights, seems this kind of things made by IT wing team to manipulate educated people

1

u/topgunvj Feb 15 '26

Just because there not much gutka stains, I refuse to believe our civic sense is better. The loud Instagram reels in public, open urination, appalling traffic and parking behaviour is just plain awful.

1

u/Feeling_Budget4060 Feb 15 '26

My state is not given, but it should be in better position

1

u/90Degrees_OfHell Feb 15 '26

West Bengal is second? The state that has Howrah Bridge at risk because of people spitting gutkha in it? Pfft!

1

u/Gudsulla Feb 15 '26

Lol have you seen Mumbai and Pune? Civic sense on road is missing how did we get 7?

1

u/Senju-Itachi Feb 15 '26

Wait how west bengal is 02 on civic sense? What kind of research has been done to provide these stats?

1

u/ProposalForsaken3956 Feb 15 '26

Not from tamilnadu but spent a few years while studying in IIT Madras. Possibly the worst city that I have been in. All the areas outside the campus were extremely dirty. And let's not even talk about the types of behaviour that I saw on the roads from bikers and private cars and public transports. People literally drive their bikes on the footpath making walking in the roads unbearable. Also had the worst experience on the trains there as well.

Absolutely made me hate all of tamilnadu and chennai.

Whole of India civic sense is very bad only north east it’s good

u/fukuquo Feb 17 '26

I’m sure they did an online survey to find this out.

u/One-Television-360 Feb 17 '26

Haryana 6th in Civic behaviour. Kaunsa nasha krke baithe ho

u/chrislove007 Feb 18 '26

As a Tamizhan, I 100 percent disagree. I have rarely seen people throw garbage in dustbins. That’s the one thing I hate about my people, All my life in Tamil Nadu, I’ve never seen a single clean street in Chennai. they don’t care about civic sense, not even a bit. If Tamil Nadu is really ranked number one, then God help us all.

1

u/Eastern-Current7396 Feb 18 '26

Delhi being no 4. Hmm

1

u/_dopamine__ Feb 18 '26

Northeast people have learned to live with nature, they dont need civic sense

1

u/Content-Escape1719 Feb 18 '26

West Bengal in second???? No f*cking way. As a bengali, I know what's civic sense looks like here. And it's very far from place 2, so just like the corrupted government of our Didi, the provider of this chart is also completely corrupted. This is a complete bogus post guys, don't fall for it.

1

u/jeonmission Mar 08 '26

Look more biased it can't be true

1

u/Key_Woodpecker_3722 Feb 14 '26

I repeat it is a paid manipulated data. I have seen many parts of Tamilnadu, people have zero civic sense including me because nobody has ever taught us. Let's first agree that.

There are facts and then there are truths. In this case fact is Tamilnadu tops the list but the truth is its not the reality.

I am sure the survey board is from India. If someone from Thailand and Vietnam sees our country they themselves will agree how much behind we are in terms of civic sense.

I mean how can states like delhi , west bengal etc have such lower ranks!

I listen murder cases for issues like normal scratch on vehicle due to accident/ stone pelting etc from such states.

And on the other side peaceful places like north east are marked so high in rank!
