When truth unnerves the throne, even police echo “Marta kya na karta”, What will a dying person not do?.
Assam Police Invoke Sedition Law in Second Case Against @thewire_in Naming @svaradarajan and Karan Thapar. The summons were issued on the very day the Supreme Court granted protection from any coercive action.

Elusive Himalayan wolf, ancient subspecies of grey wolf, is critically endangered by climate change. Gangtok’s Zoo breeds to aid survival. #sikkim.#savehimalayas @Anjmeh @savehimalaya @Travellingslack @thesilkroad @pargaien @CristinaAlbert4
If there's any animal that has suffered neglect, persecution, and villification by people and authorities alike in the Indian wild, it's the "Indian Gray Wolf." A champion of grasslands and Open Natural Ecosystems(ONEs), both of which suffer destruction and degradation, today,

So the BCCI might dodge RTI just because it doesn’t take govt funds? Transparency in Indian sports needs strengthening, not loopholes! #SportsBill.

Himachal & Uttarakhand face deadly landslides yearly. It's not just climate—it's us: deforestation, illegal building, reckless infra. Nature will always strike back.
6000 Deodhar trees had been cut in the area above Dharali for Char Dham purposes. A huge loss of valuable trees. Locals paid a heavy immediate price & the planet a longer term one. Who will act on behalf of the great sustainer, Mother Nature?.@BhavreenMK @AbiluTangwa @navinajafa.

Interesting, since India too has tribes in the same primitive stage. The Cholanaickan tribe in Kerala, live in rock shelters within the Nilambur valley, close to Silent Valley considered the last hunter-gatherers of the region.
Imagine living with no farms, no livestock, and no permanent home. Just the wild, your instincts, and tradition. Sounds impossible, right?. Meet the Hadzabe tribe of Tanzania, one of the last true hunter-gatherer societies on Earth. Thread.

Big mouth, dirty hands @Suhelseth.called out for sexual harassment and still thinking you have the moral high ground to tell mothers how to act. The irony isn’t just rich, it’s repulsive.
If I was Rahul Gandhi’s mother and I would , I would have slapped him if he was older…. You don’t sit in the Parliament like it’s a dance bar and most certainly you don’t bitch out your country. This is brutal and blunt. he just ripped him apart !! 🔥🔥

Nature’s wrath spares none! A cloudburst unleashed havoc in Uttarkashi, sweeping away illegal buildings. Climate change intensifies these disasters, steer clear! #UttarkashiCloudburst #savehimalayas #ClimateCrisis @Warriormomsin @Anjmeh @fawziat @pargaien @Bhrigzz.
Water will always find a way, best is to stay away from it. Look natures fury in Uttrakashi, where instant flooding in Khir Ganga river just happened.
