How many people close their windows and use air conditioning in India nowadays? Is it that season now?

  I was wondering that, too. Also wondering how prevalent air conditioning is in rural areas.

  Most don't. At most the ones in drier regions use cheaply-made desert coolers (that are effective, no doubt), but air conditioning systems are a sign of luxury in India.

    That's what I figured. And it was one plausible explanation I had for how apparently India wasn't doing so badly before. But I guess it's not enough. Though I'm not sure if the desert cooling systems means closed or open windows. (The other explanation was that the numbers weren't trustworthy, based on a the assessment of a friend living in India now.)

      Desert coolers generally mean open windows
