Why is there always money for war, but never enough to feed the poor and tackle the climate crisis ?

The ₹92,000 crore Great Nicobar Project, in the name of “development,” presents a model that appears to ignore tribal existence, environmental sustainability, and democratic consent. The planned felling of millions of trees, the threats to marine ecosystems, and the displacement of the Nicobarese and Shompen communities—who have lived there for generations—highlight how marginalized local voices have become in policymaking. The biggest question is: when tribal communities themselves are demanding the protection of their land, culture, and way of life, for whom—and at what cost—is this project being pushed forward? If “development” means displacement, ecological destruction, and a lack of transparency, then it is not development but a systematic model of destruction.

minister of social injustice and disempowerment really said that they’re bringing this amendment to protect little kids who are being ‘turned trans’ among other things that never happened, while bhajpa is full of men who have SA-ed children and young women with impunity.

always targeting minorities instead of addressing 1) collapsing economy 2) lpg supply crisis 3) public money funding “world tours” and “phone calls” 4) rapists walking free 5) marital rape not fully recognized as rape. this is “democracy.” this is the government of india.

Y’all HAVE to get talking about the trans rights amendment bill in India rn. Not only is it going to take away fundamental trans rights, it’s going to lower the sentence for the rape of trans women. India has one of the BIGGEST QUEER COMMUNITIES IN THE WORLD, yes, in THE WORLD.

cant believe that india is filled with such uneducated people in our parliament where they are deciding that trans people having rights is a bigger threat than rapists roaming around freely in every single fucking corner of every state. why are we going backwards

Please share. Queer trans support and helplines

it’d be great if every person on earth sincerely wanted every other person on earth to be safe and cared for and then we could all be safe and cared for

I think the best way to celebrate women's day is to watch ikoku nikki and enjoy the great female characters and the friendships between them

People are forced to walk 2-3 km distances in the afternoon heat because the BEST buses have become so infrequent. Cannot understand why the govt does not simply add buses. It’s such a low hanging fruit - costs relatively little and improves thousands of lives

Not one News channel discussing this horrific case 33 victims. Some have got permanent medical issues for life. Some have squint eyes. Some are still in therapy. Sexual abuse of boys is rarely discussed in India despite there being so many victims. Most don't speak.

The world keeps asking women and children to be careful instead of asking men to be responsible.

Can we normalize returning summaries to the backs of the books again instead of reviews and praises? I just want to know what the book is about.

We can live without AI. what we cannot live without is fresh water, farmers, agriculture, land. stop supporting ai because it is destroying our planet.

@chaandmami Thanks for sharing this! Will use this while I once again read this book

For at least a month now, I haven’t gone a single day without coming across news of a child being raped, sometimes even by another minor. Yet I haven’t once seen a prime time debate about it. When are we going to talk about how India seriously has a pedophilia problem?
