Just so we're clear, Israel is now the first state to have an ethnicity-based death penalty since Nazi Germany.

Chanchal did not die in isolation. She was painted for a PR stunt after years of forced rides, a grotesque reminder of how normalised cruelty against elephants has become. This is not just about one death. It is about a system that has failed. India’s wild elephant population has declined by nearly 25% since 2017 (from ~30,000 to ~22,446). At the same time, over 200 elephants have been killed by trains in the last decade, as highways, mining, and unchecked urbanisation continue to fragment elephant corridors and push them into conflict zones. And yet, Project Elephant, created to protect them in 1992, has been steadily weakened. Funding remained at just ₹30–35 crore annually, with only ₹16.36 crore spent in 2022–23. Its eventual merger with Project Tiger has further diluted focus and accountability. Meanwhile, captive elephants like Chanchal continue to be exploited for tourism, festivals, and PR spectacles in violation of basic welfare norms. Chanchal’s death must force urgent course correction: stronger enforcement, real funding, and a clear end to the everyday cruelty we have chosen to ignore. @byadavbjp @moefcc

General William Westmoreland, the American commander in Vietnam, said that Asians do not value human life the way Westerners do. He said this to explain why Vietnamese soldiers kept fighting despite losses that would have broken Western armies. He did not say: perhaps they are fighting for something worth dying for. He did not say: perhaps our intelligence about their will to fight was wrong. He did not say: perhaps we have fundamentally misunderstood this enemy. He said: they don't value life. This is what happens when an army built on the premise of its own civilizational superiority meets a people who simply refuse to accept that premise. The army cannot update its model. It cannot say "we were wrong about who these people are." So it invents a theory where the enemy's resistance is not a sign of strength but a sign of deficiency. They keep fighting because life is cheap to them. Not because their cause is just. Not because they are brave. Because they are less than us. Westmoreland ran the war for years on this theory. He lost. The Vietnamese people, who apparently did not value life, built a country that is alive and growing and free. Westmoreland died in 2005. The people he could not understand are still here. So is the theory.

So when Charlie Sheen said he had “Tiger blood” what he meant was he had Tiger Woods’ blood.

@ShivrattanDhil1 @MeghnaPant At least in terms of coverage. At least that much solidarity needs to be shown across platforms. To not platform Singhania and his cursed possessions . To put people first and cars second. He’s a blight on the community.

@ShivrattanDhil1 @MeghnaPant The media, particularly the automotive media has glorified men like Gautam Singhania - often due to his PR machinery - because of his shiny, expensive car collection. Although we might all be connected by a passion for cars, I really hope that everyone boycotts Singhania

Today India has woken up to the #GautamSinghaniaEffect - a man who betrays his own father, wife and children, will leave his friends for dead. Circumstances change but never a person's character. Choose who you trust wisely.
