AQI is a western construct. India must have its own index -Bharatiya Air Quality Weather Administrative System (BAQWAS). Under BAQWAS, AQI of 250 will correspond to 1 on BAQWAS and this will be categorised as "Ati Uttam". Similarly AQI of 1000 will coresspond to 2, and this will be categorised as "Param Uttam". Smoke and its generation has been a part of our ancient rituals since time immemorial. It is Western culture that has now made us look upon it as something undesirable. BAQWAS will peak during Deepavali and winter and restore the pride we had lost due to this foreign imposed "AQI", which as we all know actually stands for Al Qaeda International.
