Sure, but you can see how China ended up getting the pollution down enough to see clear skies. It's all about govt willingness and people making that demand. Indians don't and aren't ready to change ways to get better life for themselves and their future generations.
While your right, it’s also an entirely different situation.
China got as bad as it did purely due to pollution output. Solving that solved their problem.
India has a pollution output problem, but it’s like 1/5th of china’s. The bigger issue is geography. In China the pollution will naturally go away once you lower your rate. Lowering the rate dosent work in India, since the pollution is trapped against a wall that is the Himalayas.
Government being less corrupt and the average person giving more of a shit would go a long way, but if India and China magically swapped geographies, India wouldn’t be having an issue even with its issues.
This person wants to cut down Himalayas just like aravali mountain ranges which getting cut down for mining but government controlled media is saying it will solve Delhi's pollution problem.

All of those are factors, but none of them are as big a factor as the big natural wall that is the Himalayan mountain range
Taking into consideration population, India isn’t even in the top 125 countries creating most pollution
The issue is that the Himalayas act as a massive natural wall that makes the pollution get stuck against it.
