India’s pollution crisis is also about inclusion

Water purifiers compensate for unsafe water. Air purifiers now compensate for unbreathable cities. We celebrate individual workarounds while quietly absolving institutions. Over time, survival is mistaken for innovation

This is about pollution in India.

In my main community (BharatReforms), I have discussed about some reforms pf mine which I think can help in reducing indutrial pollution. If you want to read it, the link to my original post is above.

To all Indians, it is a humble request of mine to please support us.

Thanks

    You are trying to come up with accounting tricks to create market incentives for cleaner industries. Assuming this system is even helpful, who is going to legislate this. The problem instead is that the capitalist and political class see 80% of Indians as subhuman animals whom they do not owe clean water or air and at whom they toss crumbs once ever few years when elections roll in. They would rather use parliamentary sessions to come up with novel and innovative ways to render undocumented Muslims stateless just to reduce the opposition parties’ share of the votes.

      Dude, I respect your thoughts but by saying that goverenment will deliberately render undocumented muslims to reduce the vote share of opposition, you are kinda giving a tag to all muslims as supporters of opposition, which is highly innacurate. Secondly if they are undocumented, it dosen’t matter if they are muslims or not, they are not supposed to be there. Earlier the problem was that goverenment never took actions on illegal settlements, and now when they do, they are still criticised.

      I mean yeah, innovative ideas like the one I shared are rarely discussed in parliament.

      And btw, yeah, the aim is to support, prefer and incentivise the cleaner industries, this way even the industries and companies with high carbon emmission will be forced to the same.

      You see, rarely anyone in bussiness comes with a good will, its on the goverenment how they manage their greed according to their and Nation’s interests according to me.

      Thanks for your views on this.
