“…Despite widespread satisfaction with their economy, their institutions and Modi, Indians 
nonetheless believe they face a range of very serious problems. And, in some cases, their concern is on the rise.
“…There has also been a 22-point increase in worry about air pollution: 74% say it is a very big problem, up from 52% who said the same a year ago.
