To play devil's advocate, there are more videos that show these stereotypes than not. To quote racists everywhere, "stereotypes exist for a reason". But it's important to remember that humans everywhere are literally almost identical, and the reason stereotypes exist is worth looking into in order to acknowledge why we might have inherent biases. In OPs example, India is poor as fuck, and a lot of people just don't have shoes because of that history of wealth inequity

Isn't this an example of them taking it pretty seriously?

That's... Oh my God. That is such a bad idea, for so many reasons. But I think if the point is to expand your population, specifically the poorest and most uneducated, it hits the mark.

Oh no... That is the point, isn't it?

"Even though the water cycle is more active, at local scales more water is lost than before," Staal said.

This has important implications for water management, because China's water is already unevenly distributed. The north has about 20% of the country's water but is home to 46% of the population and 60% of the arable land, according to the study. The Chinese government is trying to address this; however, the measures will likely fail if water redistribution due to regreening isn't taken into account, Staal and his colleagues argued.
