And now, it is the turn of the young female Amur falcon Alang to make us speechless 😶 After taking off from the Somalian coast at 7:30 am on 14 May, Alang has been steadily pushing northward across the Arabian Sea on one of the most demanding migratory crossings in the natural world. In just over two days, she has already covered nearly 3,000 km nonstop over open ocean.

The Supreme court observed that caste abuse inside a private house may not attract the SC/ST Act unless it happens within “public view.” So if a Dalit is humiliated behind closed doors, does their dignity not matter? This interpretation weakens protections for SC ST.
