Anyone who calls Great Nicobar as India's Strait of Hormuz is the biggest clown 🤡

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.





India's strategic Oil reserves storage capacity in 2014 was 5.33 MMT. It is still 5.33 MMT in 2026. Meanwhile Modi's photo albums have crossed 10 MMTB.

John Lithgow, cast as Dumbledore in HBO's Harry Potter, on whether he considered quitting over JK Rowling: After a close friend told him about an open letter urging him to resign, Lithgow called it "the canary in the coal mine," then was asked directly if he would leave the role. His answer: "Oh, heavens no." Why does the cast feel the need to comment on this?
