This paper examines India's view of green growth advocated at the G-20 forum and the policy implications of this interpretation. The author argues that not all constituencies in India are convinced that green growth will lead to material and social progress in the country. She concludes that the concept of green growth that promotes bureaucratic and technocratic solutions may prevail, but this will come at the cost of postponing solutions to the long-pending political and social conflicts that underpin environmental conflicts in India.
