  • You don't really understand the ignorance of Indians and the way the Indian government rules us.

    Pollution is not really seen as a bad thing but is seen as an inconvenience at best if not something to be proud of. Last month we had the festival called Diwali which involves using firecrackers and fireworks. Hundreds of millions of people lit fireworks at that time causing immeasurable air pollution just in the name of religion and culture. The air quality has been shit since then and people still use fireworks and firecrackers because "culture".

    China and America don't see pollution in that way. For China it was a huge problem brought by unregulated industrial output and not something they see as a part of their identity.

    There is also the lack of good education in India unlike China. People don't really understand the harmful effects of air pollution.

    I can go on more but you should get the gist of it.






  • On the plus side, air this bad tends to produce popular backlash that states can't easily ignore.

    This is India not China or the US. Most people don't give a shit. The government doesn't give a shit either. Plus the small minority that gives a shit will be labeled as terrorists if they protest against the current Hindutva Fascist government hence ruining their lives as they rot in Jail for decades without trial.
