"Western lifestyle unsustainable, says climate expert Rajendra Pachauri"

Many people will remember the strident headline at the end of November blaring: "Western lifestyle unsustainable, says climate expert Rajendra Pachauri". That was the version in The Guardian, but other papers carried something very similar.

How so very different might have been the reception had the newspapers carried a photograph of the house occupied by multi-millionaire businessman Dr Rajendra K Pachauri, currently 160 Central Golf Links Road, New Delhi. This is situated in a delightful residential area (pictured above and below) very close to Khan Market, the most expensive market in India.

It is described as one of the most expensive places to live in India. The cheapest houses sell for millions of US dollars. It is considered one of the richest neighborhoods in India and the name is inspired by the Delhi Golf Course nearby.

Prominent individuals like Neville Tuli, Dushyant Dave (Supreme Court Senior Advocate), R. K. Pachauri, Naresh Trehan, Palaniappan Chidambaram, R.K. Dhawan , film producer Bobby Bedi and the Guptas (owners of real-estate development firm MGF, and constructors of several malls in Gurgaon) and other foreign dignitaries call Golf Links home. Vikram Bakshi, the boss of McDonald's India also has property in the locality. Peaceful with its leafy environs, it is one of the best places to live in New Delhi, and is a major status symbol.

Thanks to the then Prime Minister Inder Kumar Gujral's personal intervention, the Delhi Police enhanced the security to a very high level, and it currently enjoys round the clock patrolling.
