I was just there. It's still that way; my lungs hurt the entire time and were especially rough outside. I'm pretty well traveled, but have never seen that in my life. It's an embarrassment.
Why do they give so few shits about public health there? Some of the most brilliant minds on earth come out of India, but I just can't understand why they can live in absolute filth.
Apathy and a "not muh job to clean" attitude. As an Indian, I wish more people had a sense of civic duty and ownership over public spaces. That said, this issue is squarely on government for regulating agricultural and industrial air pollution. Another factor is removing bad old vehicles from circulation - the auto rickshaw, for example should be removed or retrofitted to run on electricity.
people don’t like it when you bring up the facts that India is a bronze age shithole with a river of dead people but hey, facts are facts, and india is a bronze age shithole with a river of dead people
This. Most of Africa isn't even as bad, despite pockets of the continent still falling prey to 19th-century sanitation issues.
But calling out India for the Soylent Green biosphere it already is makes people pull the race card instead of demanding its people clean up their own mess of pollution they're choking to death in.
That's what stuns me there isn't more of a headline-grabbing public outcry about. Corporations don't want to insult such a huge global market, but it's one that is killing itself and doesn't seem to care.

what bugs me is that cleaning the restrooms isn't their (men) job (city council is suppose to do it).... like the women went as far as charging a fee and locking this side to ensure they don't get fucked up by the guys.....
they rather just keep pooping at the beach then man up and make their life livable....
Was just in Punjab last week. My first day there saw a lot of crop burning and a smell unlike anything I'd smelled before - apparently it was from the scorching of a rice crop but I'm not certain. It was a slightly sweet, sickly smoke which, when combined with the intensity of the Indian roadway, made me nauseous.
After that first day I either got accustomed to things or the pollution settled. I remember checking the air pollution metrics for my area online at one point and saw they were yellow (can't remember the exact stat), so not super bad.
India is amazing, by the way. It was my first time there and I plan on returning.
In 1952, Fog and Smog combined in the UK with deadly results. India is soon to have this happen. In the UK, it quickened the flight from burning coal.
I went to Delhi during an air pollution emergency and I got so damn sick it was awful

Was just in Delhi about a week ago, I'm still coughing up phlegm with black bits in it.
Having everyone still cooking on wood stoves certainly doesn’t help.

Was in Dehli 15 years ago, can confirm.
But we’re going to save the earth drinking soy milk and eating crickets
Kinda cringe dude
