Pollution is emerging as one of India’s biggest economic threats even greater than trade tariffs and global protectionism, according to Gita Gopinath, Harvard University professor and former IMF Chief Economist, speaking at the World Economic Forum (WEF). At Davos, Gopinath warned that environmental degradation, air pollution, and climate risks pose a serious macroeconomic challenge for India impacting productivity, public health, and long-term growth more than external trade barriers. As India positions itself as a global manufacturing and investment hub, the economic cost of pollution could undermine growth, raise healthcare spending, and reduce workforce efficiency.
In this episode of 'Editorial', HW News' Managing Editor Mr. Sujit Nair discusses how Gita Gopinath faced scathing criticism on social media for voicing her opinion regarding the massive pollution levels in India.

Mr. Nair explains how several South Indian states, where Hindi is not widely spoken, may not be able to understand the names of these Bills. He also refers to remarks made by former Home Minister P. Chidambaram, who criticized the Modi government’s move, saying: “Non-Hindi-speaking people cannot identify a Bill or Act with titles that are in Hindi words written in English letters, nor can they pronounce the title of the Bill or Act. Successive governments have reiterated the promise that English will remain an Associate Official Language. I fear that promise is in danger of being broken.”
