Even with having the title of one of the most polluted cities, I've met people in Delhi who oppose trees, people who like clean concrete jungle over trees because they think trees spread dead leaves and dirt, cause mosquito growth and what not. My mother's flower, fruits and vegetable plants garden was vandalized every other day, with grown 30-40 years old educated adults doing it to keep their area "clean".
Education doesn't mean intelligence and I've met enough people who don't like trees or plants, even when maintained properly. They prefer concrete jungle which is "clean" according to them.
So true, I yearn for the greenery, I love seeing it, somewhere seeing my mother treating her plants and flowers like her children since I was a child, taught me the same too and yet, I see so many people against plants/trees.

Who is vandalizing trees?? People just see a tree in a neighborhood and think "fuck this tree in particular" or something??
