Historically the green line was between the Greek and Turkish Cypriots. In today’s context the author Shelly Shaurya uses it as a demarcation line between the corporate sector in general on one side and the ecologists vouching for the green economy on the other side. India is ready for the ‘Bamboonomics Renaissance’ while corporates on the other side of the ‘Green Line’ are watching. India and China are on an undeclared bamboo trade war with China capturing the Indian agarbatti (incense stick).
