Last year after Diwali NCR region had smog for 9 days causing disease and breathing problems. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_smog_of_Delhi Ncr's smoke related polution is mostly because of crop stubble burning in three neighboring states, haryana, punjab and western up...all agriculture heavy states.

surajmal Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 On 20/10/2017 at 3:05 AM, New guy said: India has the highest amount of air pollution related deaths in the world, at 2.5 million per year https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/environment/pollution/study-world-pollution-deadlier-than-wars-disasters-hunger/articleshow/61149195.cms And this NRI, sitting comfortably overseas, with his family and children breathing in clear air and being safe does not need to care for that. For these NRIs, Indian lives do not matter. Indians are not individuals trying to live their lives, wanting to be safe, comfortable, as individuals living peacefully. Nope, these NRIs see Indians as disposable soldiers which they can take pride on sitting safe from afar with their comfortable lives and families. Hence they look at Indians as holder of ideals, symbol of their religion, of patriotism. This is why they are comfortable calling for a war with Pakistan. They are comfortable asking Indians to choke to death over their religion. Asking them to fight for death over whether a temple or a mosque should be build. Sitting safe and comfortable with their families and children, wars, riots, pollution, nothing going to affect the NRI. So they can afford these ideals The very fact that the people cooperated is a slap on the faces of people like these. The Indians are largely a very sensible group of people. And the reason why we even exist as a country despite our multiple religions, languages, diversity and needs. Because the common Indian is focused on their day to day lives. We have survived despite our enemies. Despite people trying to divide us. And we will survive despite the lofty ideals of the NRIs who want us to fight and die and choke so that they, sitting safe far away can brag about their religion and rituals. No religion is greater than common sense and Hinduism is the prime example of a pragmatic religion. Heck even Gita talks clearly about karma over rituals but then picking and choosing what to follow has always been the way of the religious bigot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diwali was much worse than today, today was much worse than normal winter days, Normal winter days here already have hazardous air quality here. Sad truth is that this is the most polluted city in the world. This is why we didn't see much vocal protest on SC's ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
