AQI is easily 500+ but the 
government is manipulating data in all areas to suppress the real numbers.
My guess is this shit easily shaves 2-10 years off your life depending on how poor you are. Beijing got so much shit for its fog. I would like to give weatern news orgs passes to do monthly racist coverage of the air quality like they did with China because nothing else seems to incentivise the government to do anything about it.
India doesn’t really concern anyone like China does. India is an ideal capitalist hellhole where wealth belongs to the top 5% and people have no power. Leftism is borderline dead in northern states and the country is run by Gujarati fascists for Gujarati capitalists.
India does not concern them but I was hoping to for once use the predisposition of the western brainpan towards racism to our advantage

Acting like the west or its media isn’t racist towards India is truly insane shit and beyond offensive. Idiot.
They are but I’m not handing out passes for that.
What are you talking about?
I believe @ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml (display name: loathsome dongeater) is Indian (moderates !india@lemmygrad.ml) and is saying that he would prefer if the western media racism (which exists) was aimed at the air quality (as it has been for China in the past), not that there is currently no western media racism towards India.
Yes. Thank you.
The recent Diwali celebration saw a lot of firecracker usage and it had an effect of spiking AQI.
Many were talking about it on the net and the Hindutva nationalists mentioned other stuff like how vehicular pollution and stubble burning had greater influences and called it hinduphobia and were going like ‘We’ll burn more firecrackers’.As people understood, the AQI went from bad to worse.
The BJP govt has been trying to manipulate data, by spraying water near monitoring stations.

Remember when covid opened up the skies over major Indian cities?
How else could you sell ICE cars and make the line go up? Smh.
this is probably from all that diwali shit still, the AQI was over 1380
