\"\"Coinciding with the release of Brighter Green’s Case Study on India, Veg or NonVeg? India at a Crossroads<\/a>, I will be writing a series of blogs over at Brighter Green<\/a> about the intersection of recent writings on India with issues raised in our case study:\u00a0“Over the past several years, there has been a considerable amount of writing about modern(izing) India. From different angles, writers are witnessing and documenting a subcontinent undergoing significant shifts. The\u00a0New York Times<\/em>\u00a0recently launched their first country specific blog,\u00a0India Ink<\/a>. At Brighter Green, we\u2019ve been most interested in the social and environmental issues that are emerging with a changing country, a changing diet, and a changing climate. \u00a0Our recent paper\u00a0<\/a>and our videos on India\u2019s\u00a0chicken\u00a0industry\u00a0<\/a>[now with over 50,000 views on Youtube!]\u00a0and\u00a0dairy and beef industries<\/a>\u00a0delve into this further. In this blog series<\/a>, I hope to highlight writings on India and where they intersect with sustainability, equity, and rights, particularly in the context of food security and climate change.<\/p>\n
