Delhi people take it to the next level by having rooftop lawns. I stayed in a rooftop apartment there once and nothing beats rolling around on grass in the middle of a summer night.

As far as I can tell in India lawns are a sign of wealth and position. I once visited a dusty air force base in Bikaner and the commander's house had a beaut lawn with 2 airmen dedicated to maintaining it.

Which part of India did you see? There are big-ass lawns in my hometown, Thrissur, Kerala. Also, lawns covering homefronts where I currently reside in North India. I am not going to be specific, but somewhere in UP.

To be fair, I've lived mostly in cities, but I doubt the case is going to be different in rural India. I have grandparents in Dehradun, grew up in Bombay, have cousins in Delhi and relatives in Jharkhand, and no where have I seen lawns in the American manner; only concrete verandas with potted plants.

Yeah.. you should go down to Kerala sometime. Or to central government employee quarters.
