A video with clothes drying on a clothesline in the backyard went viral, garnering a range of comments online. The video is from an Indian-origin man, Mohammad Anas, who helps students settle in the U.S. The video read, "Not India, this is USA" with a shocked emoji.

While some users considered it harmless, many other social networkers expressed displeasure. They questioned why clothes drying was being related to India, saying it is done everywhere. Some said it was unwarranted, while others said airing out the laundry for drying is an eco-friendly practice followed in many jurisdictions, including the U.S. The ensuing discussion quickly spiraled from a simple video to a cultural perception discussion about daily life habits.

The viral video has been uploaded on Anas' official Instagram account, md24_anas. Just six days old and the video already racked up a whopping 5 million views. Social media users have flooded the comments section and could let loose livid arguments on the subject. One user questioned, "Sorry, is it illegal to dry your clothes or something?" "Why is this guy defending India?" *Indian* every time", another user commented.

Others defended the practice, with one commenting, "This is an embarrassing post.. Drying clothes in the sun has so many more benefits than in a dryer." Another user commented, "I am very confused. Are we not supposed to do this in the US?"

This debate shows a conflict between personal freedom, community rules, and modern living. Some people see outdoor drying as an eco-friendly choice that saves energy. Others think it looks messy and lowers property values. As concerns about the environment grow, the simple act of hanging clothes outside reflects bigger questions about personal rights and community standards.

So, what do you think of it?? Let me know in the comments section.
