🚨Exclusive: Modi govt shut down almost 200 district weather advisory units providing crucial services to farmers after @NITIAayog misrepresented their role & sought privatisation of services. Based on internal finance ministry documents #RTI

A lot of people would find it slightly unbelievable when I say Giant leatherback turtles return to same beach region in Nicobar islands where they were born to lay eggs. Their sense of space & direction is different. And the world is much larger than what human perception allows.

Good Bangalore weather to read a book about animals, drink tea and have long conversations about the decline of science institutions in this country.

Turtles can sense the earth's magnetic fields. Sharks and platypuses can sense electric fields. A spider can sense air currents created by a buzzing fly. Rattlesnakes can detect body heat of their prey. A whole new sensory world in this book

The Modi government needs lessons in both history and ethics.

During Cold War, many Global South countries came together to not only say 'this is not our war' but also to uphold values like peace & focus on domestic issues like developmental deficits owing to colonial plunder. Non-alignment was an ethical stance; not a useless 'neutral' one.

Modi is attending BRICS claiming to speak for the Global South & is being showered with highest state honours in countries like Ghana & Trinidad & Tobago. A journalist should ask Modi in-person "Mr. Prime Minister, what do you think about Israel's genocidal campaign in Gaza?".
