Everyday India imports Russian oil it comes closer to helping the end of civilisation as we know it and probably the end of India in sooner time. Look at the insane heatwaves they’ve had this year.

Climate crisis is real.

As opposed to buying US oil, which would not have these same repercussions? What are you on about?

It's about buying any oil and how it's a stupid thing to keep doing and spending time on.

fwiw, there are pretty decent EVs hitting the Indian market.

Car: https://nexonev.tatamotors.com (~22,000$ before tax) Scooter: https://www.atherenergy.com (~1,700$ before tax)

Most private drivers aren't doing hundreds of KMs per day so these lower cost models could help accelerate adoption. There isn't as much hesitation about switching from gasoline since it was never super cheap nor did they have much of a Truck Yeah! culture
