In 2013 Adani’s bulldozers destroyed Kete, a Chhattisgarh village, to mine coal. I spent months tracking former Kete Adivasis to reconstruct how the village which was earlier opposed the mining was manipulated and divided over time to give up its land.

The long read: In a pristine forest in central India, the multibillion-dollar mining giant Adani has razed trees – and homes – to dig more coal. How does this kind of destruction get the go-ahead?

India’s new criminal code fails to protect LGBTQ+ folks from rape. Everybody agrees it’s a problem. Few agree on the solution. How did we get here?

Thanks so much @abhishekanicca for writing this piece. 😍.
Desire, gender performance and belongingness are some of the themes that have always fascinated me as a disabled person. I explore all of that and much more for Queerbeat. Thanks to @Ankur_pali and the @queerbeat_media team for the edits.
