a worthy article in business standard regarding the e-waste situation in india. with 330K of e-waste locally and several tens of thousands tons of illegal e-waste dumping by western countries in collusion with local indian authorities, e-waste is a looming disaster for which the 'shining and rising' indian elite has no clue.

well, as long as e-waste is dumped in neighboring slum or in a nearby village or in a nearby river or in a place where poor people live, who cares. hey, even e-waste import adds to the gdp number. ain't it?
