Only that most of it is manufactured euphoria in the face of hugely daunting realities !
The Indian commitment to the Paris agreement is and will remain suspect, considering that the country needs to go in for paradigm changes in its approach to business governance if it is to do true justice to the provisions in the agreement !
The current model of economic development - followed for the last 2 decades by the Congress and the BJP - has its true impact and implications placed squarely opposed to the spirit of the Paris agreement.
In other words, the *GDP growth* on which so much emphasis is laid by the establishment economists in India primarily implies a huge growth in consumption of resources in many unsustainable ways. And unsustainable consumption of resources is what goes against the grain of the fight against climate change. Ironically, Prakash Javadekar talked repeatedly about *sustainable lifestyles* at the COP21 in Paris !
The high flown rhetoric and make believe statements of Modi and Javadekar notwithstanding, it is India among all the major economies of the world that will find the effort to align economic growth with the agreement targets the most difficult, considering how extremely high the pressure of its population on its resources already is.
