Why Indians do not have much awareness about pollution and environment?

Question

less conscious on environment and pollution.. smoking, using hazardous products, making industrial pollution, not keeping the public places clean ( example bus stand , railway stations etc

Answer 1

You are wrong. They are well aware about it. But it's due to their ignorance when they think " when no one follows, why should I?

Do you agree?

Answer 2

I take it your not talking about American Indians. So my guess would be 1. That the USA can't manufacture some of the chemicals used, so we go to 3rd world nations that don't have the strict laws that we do. Check out where Dupont has most of their chemicals and what not made. 2. Its a poorer country and they will do what they need to keep the commerce of their country going.

Answer 3

I'm sorry but I feel alot of natives are aware.Selling the smokes off their land doesn't mean they are different than corner stores that sell smokes on non native land. Also pollution from cars,factories,planes in the sky are not all  native doings.

Answer 4

Where is the time to think about pollution when there are somany other needs to be fulfilled before that?

Answer 5

awareness of, and concern about, the environment are luxuries that can be engaged in only after all of the basic needs are met, and there is money and time left over to engage in those persuits.

for most of the world, that's simply not true.  

Answer 6

I think that india is such a country where there is no time to see the basic things

as the country's of the world are also have the same problem then why they are not aware of it

India is such a wast and a under developing  country and the above things what you have mentioned are common in all under developing countries

all the above answers mentioned are of no use and they have lees knowledge about India

as indian government has taken many  steps on controlling pollution

I am a indian and according to me i think we are no lees from others .

'see India incredible india'

Answer 9

Bcoz India is a developing country. Till today Many people are struggling to fill their minimum needs. They don't have time to think about the environment bcoz they think how they can get some money to ensure their childrens lunch and dinner as they are poor.

This poor condition isn't correct about all indians.Indias economy is going up!! Everything is changing.. It is 100% true that Indians Love their country more than their life.

Answer 10

Its due to two reasons

1.richer section in india are concentrated on competing with the developed nation and make india prosperous so they proceed towards their work without knowing that its going to affect the nation.

2.poorest section dont even hav basic needs. so they pollute india to meet their daily needs

Answer 11

it is due to selfishness.they are bothers only about them not about others

Answer 12

Now India is in developing stage, every one are new to the urbanisation and are lacking knowledge of awareness. Its not that we don't know anything...even US and Uk had suffered lot of development related diseases and environmental hazards.coz there, industrialization was boomed up in between 1800-1900s and was in peek at the time of WW1 and WW2..they overcame every thing then it self...it will take time for us to mature, or else if we should participate in WW3 actively...this causes lot of profit to country in every possilble way...
