I have spent much time and energy discussing the Smart Cities Mission in the past, primarily because the government of India appears to have forgotten about it. Back then, it felt as if the project needed to be monitored because of how it could transform India into a country envied by the world, instead of how it is usually looked at. Now, it appears as if we can finally forget about that ambitious plan and move on, because we have a new accolade to be proud of. A couple of weeks ago, it emerged that 95 of the world’s 100 hottest cities now belong to India. It was framed like a bad thing by those annoying foreign reporters, but I would humbly put forth the suggestion that this is something every patriot should be proud to broadcast. Finally, after decades of trying to be good at something, we have succeeded, even if it’s with a little help from Mother Nature.
