Today is Diwali, the biggest Hindu Festival and modern day Hindu Fascists have brainwashed people into killing themselves by burning billions of crackers in a single night.
The air is quite literally unbreathable and looks white. Yet people won't stop burning crackers. No one wears a mask btw.
Hinduism is easily the most destructive religion on Earth right now, the pollution generated from rituals and festivals is unimaginable. As an ex-Hindu, this casteist piece of shit religion is a bane on Indian society actively working against the betterment of the Indian people. I wish the Communists in India actually had the balls to do a revolution in the 1950s and we wouldn't be in this mess.
And this is how it is after a mild crackdown. I remember about five or so years ago I was on the rooftop with a friend on a late Diwali night and the air was so thick with smoke we couldn't see 10 metres ahead. This was entirely because of firecrackers.
We got some fuljharis (sparkles) for our toddler nephew this year. The quantity of smoke just one of them emits is baffling. Of course you first need to know to look for it.
There is no crackdown lol. The entire NCR is run by the BJP who promotes this shit.
And yes I can't see too far rn. The air is too white.
You are right in that there isn't a crackdown. What I meant what was that back when I was a kid there were firecracker vendors everywhere when diwali came around. Now it seems they are can set up shop in certain areas only. I don't know what the actual laws and such are for this. But it seems to have zero meaningful effect in terms of not poisoning the air.
