If it wasn't for Modi, India could actually be filling the america sized hole trump is creating in the global economy right now.

They're barely behind US in arable land, but they keep using it to build housing instead of building up agriculture with small dense cities interspacedd between them on the non-arable patches.

Even if they still had the same pollution per capital, it would be spread out with crops in-between pumping out oxygen to dilute.

They can still recover, but it'll never happen under Modi.

They need a pro-farmer government, that's their strength. But Modi is obsessed with being a manufacturer replacement for China.

It doesn’t have to be one or the other

I may have understated how far US and India are above everyone else...

They don't need to be maximizing land use to be the biggest producer of anything that grows in their climate.

But the focus, absolutely has to be only one thing, that's literally what a focus is.

It's not an exclusive focus tho, that would be ridiculous for a country to literally only do one thing but it seems youaynhave thought that's what I meant
