If you've had a chance to visit any major national park in India in the last few years, you might agree that the most brutal invasion of India is underway: that by Lantana and several other introduced invasives!
I actually taught a course on invasive species management in Kerala 10 years ago, and while I was there I got to see some of the invasions in the region. There's definitely some bad ones, lantana certainly among them. It has a hold in New Zealand too, and is likely to get worse here under climate change.
