Great to see this and bon voyage. Try to look in on the amazing work of Harish Hande's Selco Foundation, which does village-scale energy audits and integrates renewable energy solutions (from solar sewing machines onward). Here's a chat I did with hiim in Manila long ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYyjvIyHvO8 and here's Selco's home: https://selcofoundation.org/ Happy to connect you!

That map includes large swaths of Pakistan that are claimed, but not at all governed or controlled, by India.

I know, I'm not trying to make a political statement there, but pretty much any map produced in India (such as this one of the rail network) will show the Indian version of the boundaries

Makes sense. Not riled up about it, just pointing out that ~0 people living in that north-of-Ladakh region would consider themselves Indians.

I know very little about India, but I've been reading The Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson recently, and I sure wish India's role in that fictitious future would actually pan out as is in the real world!

Looking forward to hear your thoughts and impressions about where that country is heading in the climate fight.
