GreatNicobar’s “strategic development” is a security illusion. Destroying its forest, nature’s bio-tsunami shield, to build in a high seismic zone is not progress, its engineered catastrophe. substack.com/@navinajafa/not…@sunitanar @Warriormomsin @LicypriyaK @ridhimapandeyy @greenpeaceindia @plogmanofindia

Monsoon camel travel with pastoralists evokes resilience, mobility, and a deep harmony between people, animals, and landscape. Rajasthan Sadri @IlseKohler @CharismaCamel @TravelwithCG @footloosedev @toptravel @oltraveller
Rajasthan is therapy through travel. As you journey through Rajasthan, the pace slows, and the mind finds space to breathe. Every story, every view, and every moment invites you to reconnect with yourself and embrace the beauty of the present. @tourismgoi @incredibleindia #VisitMyState #HolidayInRajasthan #RajasthanTourism #TravelRajasthan #CulturalHeritage (1/2)

I travelled through Great Nicobar today. These are the most extraordinary forests I have ever seen in my life. Trees older than memory. Forests that took generations to grow. The people on this island are equally beautiful - both the adivasi communities and the settlers - but they are being robbed of what is rightfully theirs. The government calls what it is doing here a “Project.” What I have seen is not a project. It is millions of trees marked for the axe. It is 160 square kilometres of rainforest condemned to die. It is communities that have been ignored while their homes have been snatched away. This is not development. This is destruction dressed in development’s language. So I will say it plainly, and I will keep saying it: what is being done in Great Nicobar is one of the biggest scams and gravest crimes against this country’s natural and tribal heritage in our lifetime. It must be stopped. And it can be stopped - if Indians choose to see what I have seen.

#NewAndamans #GreatNicobarIsland is not “another remote island.” It’s #India’s🇮🇳 anchor in the #IndoPacificRegion. #Project at #GalatheaBay builds what we’ve lacked for decades: strategic depth at the world’s busiest chokepoint. Critics see ecological risk. Fair. But remember Narcondam 2012: @MinistryofDefence cleared radar rejected over hornbills gaps in #maritime domain awareness. #GreatNicobar offers #maritimesecurity, jobs, regional influence. #BlueEconomy

India is eating tomorrow to pay for today's slogans. open.substack.com/pub/navina…
Heartiest Congratulations to Shri Mallikarjun Kharge, Shri Pawan Khera, and Shri Mansoor Ali Khan on being elected unopposed to the Rajya Sabha from Karnataka. I am confident that they will champion Karnataka's interests in Parliament, effectively voicing the aspirations of our people and working towards the state's continued progress and development. ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದಿಂದ ರಾಜ್ಯಸಭೆಗೆ ಅವಿರೋಧವಾಗಿ ಆಯ್ಕೆಯಾದ ಶ್ರೀ ಮಲ್ಲಿಕಾರ್ಜುನ ಖರ್ಗೆ, ಶ್ರೀ ಪವನ್ ಖೇರಾ ಹಾಗೂ ಶ್ರೀ ಮನ್ಸೂರ್ ಅಲಿ ಖಾನ್ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಹೃತ್ಪೂರ್ವಕ ಅಭಿನಂದನೆಗಳು. ನಮ್ಮ ರಾಜ್ಯದ ಹಿತರಕ್ಷಣೆ, ಪ್ರಗತಿ ಮತ್ತು ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಗಾಗಿ ಇವರೆಲ್ಲರೂ ಕೇಂದ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಬಲವಾದ ಧ್ವನಿಯಾಗಲಿದ್ದಾರೆ ಎಂಬ ವಿಶ್ವಾಸ ನನಗಿದೆ. @kharge @Pawankhera @MansoorKhanINC

Why do these guys want outrage? 😊 That's a tell. They want to muddy the waters and help the government.

If #CJP is serious about change, it should work with the opposition. Real reform needs unity, not rivalry. Youth will carry the debt of a broken India, economy & education. #YouthForChange #CongressForFuture @bismil_prasad @abhijeet_dipke @SauravDassss @PoMoGandhi @iamMostlySane @abhiandniyu @Wangchuk66

No mountains. No rivers. Air that poisons you for breathing. This is not progress, it’s the inheritance we’re forcing on the next generation. India’s ground reality, stripped bare. #genz
Behind every restored mangrove is a story of persistence. Long boat journeys. Remote coastlines. Community-led action. Together, we are creating natural barriers against cyclones while restoring biodiversity and hope. Million Mangroves by 2030. #OdishaCoast #ClimateAction

45000 mangroves and ~2k mature trees being hacked inside a 5km stretch for #mumbaicoastalroad in violation of HC and working permission orders. Geo-tagged evidence emailed to you promptly. The best PR is doing the job.
