Be alarmed about your environment, Delhi. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), the capital has the most polluted air in the world. Air pollution in our city is at the centre of media attention now, with some pointing out that the government has not done much about it. Also, it doesn't help to learn that 13 of the 20 most polluted cities in the world are in India.

The much talked about 3.2 years aside, what about the rest of the years we ARE living and breathing this polluted air. Is that not a bigger concern?

Why must we wait for international media to point fingers at us before we get embarrassed and do something about it? Why is health such a secondary concern for Indians?
