Seriously? You didn't see the sun directly in India for five weeks in peak summer? What was the reason? Black smoke clouds all over the country? Which are these fantastic regions you went through? Gee I wonder how the wood we use to cook our food grows at all, considering the sun has not been visible in summer for 5 weeks! Temperatures in some parts of India are currently beyond 47 degrees C. Let me know how that happens without a sun visible.
For your information, much of urban India uses LPG to cook food. It is far more convenient, safe and cheap. Cities like Mumbai and Delhi have piped gas even. Even small towns have LPG. Spends on fuel in India as a proportion of income are far higher. So we tend to be far more frugal with our use of electricity, gas, petrol and all other natural resources.
