Sulabh tricks?

Yoga, Homeopathic therapy,Hinduism, Indian cuisine and Classical music have sure drawn the Westeners' attention to India. But Indian toilets too?

When I read the headline "US Army fascinated by Indian Sulabh toilets"  on one of the media channels' website, I was curious, no doubt. When, in the new-age Indian homes, it is difficult to find Indian-style toilets, what makes the West embrace the concept? Was it something to do with the posture or medical recommendations to aid lifestyle? Well, the headline had caught my attention and one click to get more details , answers my queries.

US Army is fascinated by Indian Sulabh toilets, so they want to implement the same (not in the U.S, but )in Afganistan!!

I for sure agree Sulabh toilets have been an extremely commendable step in the area of  Hygiene and cleanliness and it has to be appreciated that such benefits are extended to Afganistan too, but didn't the headline mis-lead? At least, I felt as if the web-site giggled and said "gotcha!!" when I had finished reading it and understand the complete story!  They got me to read their stuff,however!
