The biggest problem is "mindset"....
From childhood, we are never encouraged to explore and develop scientific and rational thinking... Our constitution tells us to do so, but we are hell bent on doing the opposite....
Take the case of Delhi pollution.. almost every household has kids and elderly..and almost everyone is suffering. Many of them are coming on television to describe their ordeal...
Now fast forward to next Diwali...
Many of these same households, will forget the sufferings and the damages caused due to pollution and then collectively spend hundreds of crores in bursting firecrackers that caused this pollution... anyone trying to stop them then will be abused..in the name of religion,custom,social and peer pressure etc etc...
and the story goes on and on and on.....
