Overview

Out of 72 countries, India sits at #10 — 10th Most Cooked. Three departments are doing the heavy lifting here: political institutions (political polarization beats 89% of the field, just not in a good way), environmental and industrial policy (air pollution, 94th percentile), and housing policy bringing up the rear. Different agencies, same energy.

Overall score: 44/100 — 17 points above the global median of 27 (higher = more cooked). Where the system is holding up: incarceration rate (Incarceration 40/100k) — better than 96% of countries tracked. The story here isn't the country — it's the political institutions stack behind these numbers.
