Overtime, they started the leather industries in India and promoted leather products in the name of fashion/status, and we were lured into. These leather industries cause heavy pollution (stinky smell, air pollutants!) and destroy our water sources. Ranipet, near vellore is an example for that! A sad reality! And habits die hard with that!
