I travelled through Great Nicobar today. These are the most extraordinary forests I have ever seen in my life. Trees older than memory. Forests that took generations to grow. The people on this island are equally beautiful - both the adivasi communities and the settlers - but they are being robbed of what is rightfully theirs. The government calls what it is doing here a “Project.” What I have seen is not a project. It is millions of trees marked for the axe. It is 160 square kilometres of rainforest condemned to die. It is communities that have been ignored while their homes have been snatched away. This is not development. This is destruction dressed in development’s language. So I will say it plainly, and I will keep saying it: what is being done in Great Nicobar is one of the biggest scams and gravest crimes against this country’s natural and tribal heritage in our lifetime. It must be stopped. And it can be stopped - if Indians choose to see what I have seen.




My ONLY appeal to the authorities @WBPolice is to stop Post-Poll violence using all your might! Allegations & counter-allegations that TMC resorted to post-poll violence earlier, shudnt be used as an excuse. Anyone, irrespective of his political affiliation, must be strongly dealt with if they resort to any kind of Post-Poll violence. @AmitShahOffice @SamikBJP @derekobrienmp All these reports from credible Media Houses cannot be fake & untrue. Hope this will not fall to deaf-ears


For years, India's opposition believed India's overwhelming diversity is ultimately incompatible with Modi's rule, and it will naturally backfire. Instead, Modi's party captured a massive win. The opposition should learn from its latest loss, @bill_drexel writes. A thread 🧵
