00:00We used to have ambassador cars, these very antiquated cars that we kind of inherited from the British.
00:07And they used to be really great instruments of pollution of all kinds, including noise pollution.
00:13So they were chased away. Now you would hardly see any of them on Indian roads.
00:17Now we have really sleek, modern cars. In fact, we share a lot of them with the Americans, with the Europeans.
00:22And we have the same models running here. But what has happened?
