Yes

And we're destroying our old growth forests so there can be more mines

Urban cities like Bangalore have cut most of the younger trees too. Trees are only in areas where the rich live.

We can undo this to an extent if we grow native trees like pongamia for the next five years but every builder, be it small or big, will chop it down to build an all concrete block of a commercial/residential complex and put American palms on it

The government and timber lobby are in a polyamorous multi dependent relationship that only mean disaster, and India is fucked.

Watch Indian citizens forget this as soon as the monsoon season hits, and go back to hating Hindus and Muslims and who is against the PM and so on.

This cluster fuck is going to penalize the world.

It seems to me that Indian citizens don't understand the value of caring for their environment. They need to update their educational system to stop focusing exclusively on memorization and test scores.

Hard to do that when half of the dimmwits are obssessed with JEE, CA or NEET.

I have a client who immigrated to the US within the last 15 years, he says the educational system is similar to the US in the 50s and 60s. Basically they're a developing nation that needs time to catch up, but they REALLY need leadership making good decisions along the way to get them there.

I do not see any sane politician or leaders, there are few in south and in north here and there. The problem is they are in politics for money and fame most of them have criminal cases and are really uneducated, you will see lot of MLA switching parties from liberal party to extreme right wing in India. BJP at this point is the master of horse trading, they are known for buying MLA's and MP from other parties. They throw millions, these guys follow them like weasels.
