TLDR; India is a shithole. Don't go there.

From the post:

>For millions across northern India, the November air tastes ashy, the sky looks visibly hazy and merely stepping outside feels like a challenge. For many, their morning routine starts with checking how bad the air is. But what they see depends entirely on which monitor they use. Government-backed apps like SAFAR and SAMEER top out at 500 - the upper limit of India's AQI (air quality index) scale, which converts complex data on various pollutants such as PM2.5, PM10, nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide and ozone, into a single number. But private and international trackers such as IQAir and open-source monitoring platform AQI routinely show far higher numbers, often shooting past 600 and even crossing 1,000 on some days.

I was watching a travel cook show from 2014 with my sister this evening. The episode we watched was set in India. About half way through she says to me "You can tell this is propaganda because everyone is well washed and the streets are relatively clean". I told her that I knew it was propaganda when he didn't get run down, mugged, and raped in the first wide angle shot of the big roadway at the start of the episode.

Of all of the places on earth that I will never willingly travel to in my life India is the first that I will never visit.

Poos are the pollutants.
