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.
Fireworks were also quite nonstop in where I live, a more suburb-ish part of the city, but this is par for the course for the 3 major public holidays celebrated here, Eid Al-Fitr, Chinese New Year and Diwali.
The noise is the most obvious and annoying part.
Usually the fireworks aren’t in such intensity that the pollution will carpet larger than the local house, and it clears up relatively fast. AQI never really goes above 200 from what I know, so reaching 1000 is a bit insane.
