• (*Important - the Indian context is not the same as the international context. Consider - where India FINISHES at 34 degrees north latitude, most developed countries START. All developed countries, whose codes we try and copy, are heating dominated countries, where peak summer temperatures go up to 35 degrees centigrade - much below our average. AND their HIGHEST metro population density may be around 2000 people per square kilometer - ours is 30,000!!)
