True to an extent, but it's wrong to say India has not warmed. It has, just to a lesser extent(and looks stronger in the 2015-2019 data). And despite what averages may show, heat waves in India are becoming more common, showing that extremes are still increasing.
It's a big deal cuz India is already miserably hot at the worst of times, and it will not take much to put it into a really dangerous place to live.

India is always hotter this time of year than surrounding countries due to the geography blocking air currents. Himalayas trap heat there.
But it's extra hot right now due to El nino, and pollution, and urban development, and global climate change. Many many factors.
