I just read the headline, but I feel like Karma is beginning to hit them back. They bred like rats for decades, and continue to do so, leading to extreme overpopulation, leading in turn to extreme pollution. In the end, there's only so much population a territory can support before individuals start dying off. Whether this is by starvation or air pollution, it all originates from the same issue. They really need to start working on birth control.
And don't get me wrong, I have nothing against indians. Would this happen anywhere else (and it is) my reaction would be identical.
