I have a deep urge to read out the names of every fallen soldier from the very beginning... Like Nicole Kidman does in the movie...The Interpreter... With inputs from @LestWeForgetIN May we be worthy of their and their families sacrifice. Jai Hind

Australian actor Harry Cook breaks down in tears watching a 10 year old boy being torn from his family and later murdered by Israeli forces. Every single time these clips surface, the tears come unashamed. After 18 months of this nightmare unfolding since October 7th, 2023, I’m strangely grateful: my humanity and conscience remain, and I feel just raw, functioning outrage. You know right from wrong when you see it. This is indubitably wrong on a level that does not break, bend, nor forgive. Never forget your humanity. #palesti̇ne

Nine days ago, a little girl walked into our clinic, holding her father’s hand. Her face had been burned by hot tea. She was crying, not only from the pain, but from fear. And her father was even more afraid than she was. Not only because of her pain, but because of what might remain afterward: a mark on her face, a memory she would carry every time she looked in the mirror. We treated her immediately. We told him something simple: “You don’t need to go anywhere else. We will take care of her.” And he trusted us. Day after day, they came back. We followed her case closely. We provided everything she needed: care, dressings, reassurance, and time. Yesterday, she came again. But this time, she wasn’t crying. She was smiling. Her face, the same face her father had feared for, was healing beautifully. The fear that filled that first day had slowly disappeared. Replaced by relief. By hope. By something that felt like normal life again. This is what your support does. And this little girl? She will grow up without remembering the pain in the same way. But she will carry something else instead: A quiet proof that somewhere in the world, people cared enough to change the ending of her story. This is what you made possible. #WoundedGaza

A boy named Mohammad, single handedly cleaned an entire stretch near the river in Gujarat using his own hands. It's a matter of shame for our municipality 😭

Remembering the noble soul Father Stan Swamy on his birth anniversary. Father Stan Swamy was a fearless and compassionate human rights defender who stood firmly with the marginalized. He upheld the Indian Constitution and advocated for laws protecting Adivasis. He fought against violence, custodial crimes, and false accusations targeting innocent people. For his commitment, he was unjustly implicated by the State. His life remains a powerful symbol of justice, courage, and unwavering dedication to humanity. Amen 🙏

700 local body seats where no one but the BJP contests 700 seats the BJP claims by default! What happens when you elect the same party in your state for 27 years? Even elections cease #Gujarat

Filistin’i savunan öğrencinin mikrofonu kapatılınca tüm salondaki öğrenciler “mikrofon biziz” sloganı atarak salonu terketti. Artık tüm dünya İsrail’den nefret ediyor.

Iran is actually a very civilized, cultured and educated nation They are absolutely not the 'rogue terrorist entity' we were told about This is just a blood feud that israel + the US intel agency won't let go

These four officers are among many who have been disenfranchised by Mota Bhai-Gyanesh and the exercise blessed by the Supreme Court. They can’t vote but can’t wriggle out of polling duties. Now carefully observe what is common to them and ask yourself whether there has been targeted profiling in the SIR!

Arvind Kejriwal must need to clear his stand about the role of RSS in Anna Andolan, and he should do it many times. Rahul Gandhi has shown moral courage to say that emergency was wrong decision and Congress faces this question even today. — Journalist Ravish Kumar

Look at this map. Nagpur 45°. Ahmedabad 44°. Prayagraj 43°. Delhi 42°. The entire country is a single dark red mass. This is not a heatwave. This is a country that was told its forests were fine. And this is April. Not May. Not June. The hottest months have not even arrived yet. The past few days have been hell. So I did what I always do when something bothers me. I went looking for answers. What I found was a policy con job that has been running for over two decades. But before I explain what happened, let's clear some definitions. A garden is not a forest. An orchard is not a forest. A plantation is not a forest. A forest is a living system. Soil, water, fungi, insects, birds, mammals, decades of accumulated complexity, specific to its land and climate. It cannot be designed. It cannot be harvested. It regulates water, cools land, shelters hundreds of species. It takes decades to become what it is. You can plant a forest. But it will take decades to become one. In 2001, India's forests were disappearing. The Indian state, led by the Vajpayee government, faced a choice. Protect what remained, or change what the numbers said. It chose the numbers. The Forest Survey of India quietly changed the definition of what a forest means. Any land with 10% tree canopy cover and more than one hectare in area was now a forest. Your mango orchard. A coconut plantation in Tamil Nadu. A tea garden in Assam. Lodhi Garden in Delhi. All forests, on paper. The FSI will tell you that 10% canopy cover follows international norms. The FAO also uses 10% as its threshold. But the FAO's definition comes with a crucial exclusion that India's FSI quietly dropped.  The FAO explicitly states that fruit tree plantations, oil palm plantations, olive orchards, and agroforestry systems are not forests. The World Bank says the same. India adopted the number but discarded the exclusion.  It took the cover of international legitimacy while gutting the standard that gave it meaning. The government will also tell you this was never hidden. That it was publicly stated in every report, disclosed in Parliament. That is technically true. But a disclosure buried in a technical government document is not transparency. It is the appearance of transparency.  I did not know any of this until I went looking. Neither do most Indians whose forests, whose land, whose air this directly concerns. The con is not in what was hidden from experts. It is in what was never explained to the people it was done to. This is not a technicality. This is the con. It was a trick as old as power itself. If you cannot fix the problem, fix the measurement. For ten years after 2001, Congress governed India. Two terms, two environment ministers, including Jairam Ramesh, one of the more serious ones. They saw the numbers. They knew what the numbers meant. They did nothing. Because the lie was convenient. India looked good in international climate negotiations. The fiction of a greening India served everyone in power, so everyone in power kept it. Congress did not create this lie. It simply chose, year after year, to live inside it. The BJP is different. When they returned to power in 2014, they came with something Congress never had. An absolute majority, and no coalition compulsions. They did not merely inherit the lie. They built on it. And in 2023, they legislated it. The Forest Conservation Amendment Act of 2023 removed legal protection from "deemed forests." Forests that existed outside the official definition but were ecologically real.  Forests that Adivasi communities had lived in and depended on for generations. Forests that cooled land, held water, sheltered species. They were not on the right list. Since the amendment, forest destruction on Adivasi land has accelerated.  The people who knew these forests best, who had protected them longest, now watch them being cleared. Legally. CONT++

Just so yall know, whats happening in Palestine SHOULD make you feel disgusted, uncomfortable and sad because innocent fucking people are being killed for the simple fact that Theyre Palestinian. instead of BLOCKING A PALESTINIAN, BLOCKING EVERYTHING SO U DONT SEE WHATS GOING+

Ibrahim Zulfiqari said... Wherever you are, please share this video, so that the world knows that Iran will not lack missiles, because America says that Iran has run out of missiles, while we produce modern missiles every day. Please share this video, hurt them, because we will destroy them (America and Israel).

HORRIBLE crime and APPALLING silence zionist jewish settlers KIDNAP Palestinian boys while travelling with their families in Masafer Yatta, the occupied West Bank..

Julian Assange warned us: “Hollywood script writers who say they are 'Jewish' have been planting the mental seeds for war with Iran for years, including in Top Gun Maverick, Homeland, 24, & in the DreamWorks film on Julian Assange 'The Fifth Estate'.”

The mother of Palestinian child Naya Al-Tanani, killed by the israelis last night in a strike on northern Gaza, is left holding her tiny body

The technological gap is widening rapidly. While the US government wastes billions funding endless wars for the Zionist regime, China is unveiling revolutionary EV batteries that charge to 100 percent in just ten minutes. The West is completely being left behind.
