They call it development. The hills call it survival.” On the walls of a tribal home in Sijhimali, Rayagada, Odisha — resistance has found its canvas. A mural that says more than a thousand press releases ever could. This isn’t just wall art. It is a warning. A protest. A people refusing to disappear. While mining giants Vedanta and Adani eye the bauxite-rich hills, Adivasi communities continue to stand their ground to protect their jal, jangal, zameen — water, forests and land. Who pays the real price of “development”? And why are those protecting nature treated like enemies? Sijhimali is speaking. Is India listening? #Sijhimali #Rayagada #Odisha #AdivasiLivesMatter #SaveSijhimali #StopMining #Vedanta #Adani #TribalRights #EnvironmentalJustice

Good to see the president of an Indian sports body be proactive with cases of sexual harassment! Important reporting from @arnabsTOI

What’s happening here?

This is not an ordinary protest. This is tribal uprising from the hills of Kalahandi against Vedanta and Adani’s Bauxite mining plan. At Kerapai, thousands of Adivasi women and men packed the protest site shoulder-to-shoulder under scorching heat, raising slogans and holding handwritten placards against the Vedanta-Adani bauxite mining plans for Sijhimali and Kutrumali hills. The visuals are striking — rows upon rows of tribal women sitting resolutely on the ground, many carrying traditional scarves and sticks, refusing to surrender their jal, jangal, zameen to corporate mining interests. The sheer scale of the gathering shows the depth of anger brewing against the Mohan Majhi govt. The BJP govt’s tribal CM experiment in Odisha is beginning to unravel. BJP may have believed that projecting a tribal CM would make it easier to hand over Odisha’s mineral-rich hills to mining giants. But the ground reality is exploding in the opposite direction. Kalahandi and Raygada have sent a loud warning: tribal voices cannot be erased for corporate profit. #Kalahandi #Odisha #Adivasi #TribalRights #SaveSijhimali #Kutrumali #Vedanta #Adani #Mining #JalJangalZameen

The condition of Suruchi Sangha in the IWL 2 is deeply disappointing. The players have reportedly been left without proper management support, given just ₹125 to survive for two days, while even travel tickets for everyone remain unconfirmed. #IWL2 #indianwomensfootball

Very few footballers have uplifted the women’s game for Scotland and Arsenal like this veteran #UWCL and #WSL champion..

Esmee proved a live wire in the #UWCL 1st leg of semis. Looking forward to see if she proves vital in the 2nd leg too

BOOM 💥 DEEP STATE EXPOSED JANASANGH (Ancestor of BJP) WAS CIA'S TROJAN HORSE IN INDIA❓ The Caravan 'Baatcheet' Ep 46 with Dhirendra K.

𝐂𝐈𝐀 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐡 𝐏𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 1967 New York Times Exposé + India Govt probe revealed the CIA Funnelled large sums of money directly to Jana Sangh (and Swatantra Party) before the elections to crush Congress. A CIA defector later admitted the agency also bankrolled the violent 1966 anti-cow-slaughter agitation led by RSS/Jana Sangh.

Curran (confirmed by a CIA defector as the agency’s India chief) wrote a book thanking RSS Chief Golwalkar, whitewashing the Organisation’s role in the Gandhi Assassination. America saw Jana Sangh as the Perfect anti-Nehru Weapon during the Cold War. They Preached “India First” while taking Foreign Spy Agency Money to Hijack Indian Democracy.

Why Modi govt is not giving women’s reservations on 543 seats? Because it will upset their male leaders. Look at this data: Reservation on 543 — Women - 181, Men - 362 Reservation on 850 — Women - 283, Men - 567 This is men’s reservation not women. — Report by Ravish Kumar

Péter Magyar victory speech: "We want to make a country where no one is persecuted because they think differently or because someone loves in a different way to others." He didn't campaign as a liberal. But this is a huge change of direction from Orbán’s anti-LGBTQ+ crusade.

Al Jazeera correspondent Mohammed Wishah was killed in an Israeli strike that targeted his vehicle in Gaza City. His death brings the number of Palestinian journalists killed since October 2023 to 262, amid violations of the US-brokered “ceasefire.” #JournalismIsNotACrime

Her mother taught her to write with her mouth, and she learnt to draw. Her coach trained her in archery, and she won the top medals in the game. That’s the incredible Payal Nag for you

This is how Payal Nag trains. No hands. No legs. No excuses. Today, she is the world’s first limbless archery champion. Limitations exist only in the mind. Pure Inspiration. ❤️

Pls Retweet- Samserganj, Murshidabad. I invite the Election Commission of India to come meet its victims and see, on the ground, what this so called “voter purification” exercise is doing to the poorest citizens of this country who also happen to be Muslims. I have covered wars, communal violence, and mass movements. I have never seen anything like this before.

Hard to fins stories that instantly bring a smile to the face. This is one of them.. ❤️

Sadly, this won't bother the men in power

The President has signed the Trans Bill into an Act, despite thousands of letters from trans persons requesting not to grant assent to the Bill and instead send it back to the parliament.
