2. Delhi's pollution is supposed to be off the charts

I have never been there. But I have heard it’s something else.
One culprit is stubble burning-though apparently it’s contribution is less than I thought:

Vehicular pollution of course keeps increasing..
As with almost everything in India, overpopulation at scale in an industrial society is pretty much the biggest factor. But growth!

We can’t have an economic model that relies on overpopulation and the resulting exploitation be attacked..how would Ambani be able to have a wedding for his son that is some 20,000 times the average Indian’s salary without that?
Won’t someone think about Adani and Ambani??
