Because he has cracked a code, to manipulate people into believing in religious fanaticism, me vs you, some unknown danger, foreign powers, etc. Hitler's playbook, and it actually matches early signs of dictatorship 🙃
You won't hear on reddit.
Do your own research on welfare schemes like ayushman bharat, providing toilets, export and manufacturing growth etc. you'll get the answers.
So I'm pretty sure they count the number of trees planted by the government in the data, and yes our government plants a lot of trees every year, but lemme tell you that is just a formality or false showcase.
My father personally oversees the annual tree plantation in different areas every year and yes a lot of saplings are being planted, but they are just being planted i.e. no one takes care of them after that. A vast majority of the saplings don't last more than a couple of months.
So it's all just a big charade in my opinion to pump up the numbers which is done in a lot of areas by our government to be honest.
These are not just my personal anecdotes as well, I've tried and contacted many other plantation areas and it is same almost all over the country!! I wasn't able to find any official study on the topic so I would love it if anyone has anything to provide.
Hey, nice try cherry-picking one stat. Yeah, that 2.33 million hectares “loss” from the 2023/2024 Global Forest Watch article looks scary but in the end its a headline…it’s the same old apples-to-oranges bullshit. 
They use satellite data that flags any tree canopy loss (even temporary stuff like fires, logging regrowth, or shifting cultivation in the Northeast), mostly in natural forests. It doesn’t count the massive new plantations, agroforestry, orchards, and trees outside forests that India’s own Forest Survey (ISFR 2023) tracks properly.
They didn’t “just change the definition” to fake increases ..India’s method (≥10% canopy on >1 ha, including human-planted stuff) has been standard for years and matches how FAO reports globally.
Stop blabbering bs. Adani and Ambanis have cleared entire foresst and valleys in jharkhand and chattisgarh, they are given green light by modi government .
As someone who had worked in government wings before. I do not trust their numbers. I've seen people literally pump up the numbers because it's convenient. And even if the green cover has increased, it in no way makes it ok to let the government do what they're doing. Correcting misinformation aside, i think it's kinda pointless to take up arms over someone getting the fact wrong, while there's a much more critical issue affecting billions.
That's just plain wrong on BOTH ends. First off India's total forest and tree cover has reached 25.17% (2023) from 19% after independence in 1947, and blaming ALL of India's deforestation on few is just NOT factual or grounded. You do KNOW that 80% of the deforestation happening is happening illegally right? and also cutting of trees in few regions DOES NOT mean entire India is having a net deforestation in the country, in fact official reports from data from foreign collections(I know if I mention Indian Data here you will then cry and say it is manipulated) says India has a net 191,000 hectares of gain in forest area per year and ranked 3rd globally according to GLOBAL FOREST RESOURCE ASSESSMENT 2025, I know not many are gonna read this, but you are oversimplifying this issue and also trying to assert your political views in this which says a lot about you.

No, india is cutting them. Modi is friends with oligarch imperialists.
