An enumerator from Rajasthan told The Hindu on condition of anonymity, โIn the mobile app, if we enter that a household has a tin roof, we are asked by our superiors to change it to concrete. Are we supposed to lie? Similarly, if the house does not have a toilet and occupants are defecating in the open, we are told to check if there is a toilet nearby, even that of a neighbour or a relative, which they may be using occasionally or even a public urinal. Then the entry can be changed from โopen defecationโ to having access to a toilet.โ
I visited the southernmost tip of India.
I stood at Indira Point. I walked under trees that have stood for centuries. I dove into coral reefs among the most vibrant on earth.
And I sat with the people who live there. Tribal communities, whose land is being taken away by violating the Forest Rights Act. Settlers, many of them former soldiers, placed on these islands by the Indian government, who arenโt getting fair compensation.
The Modi government and BJP tells you Great Nicobar Project is about defence. It is not.
Expand INS Baaz - we will back the government fully. The Navy has been asking for expansion for five years - it has been ignored.
They tell you it is about a transhipment port. It is not. India is already building one in Kerala, which is on the mainland.
What it actually is: 1.5 crore trees felled. Coral reefs erased from official maps. Soldiers and tribals displaced - so one businessman can build hotels and casinos on Indiaโs most irreplaceable ecological land.
Every young Indian I have spoken to understands this. You know that no amount of profit is worth destroying what can never be recovered.
I stand for ecologically balanced development. These islands can be the most extraordinary sustainable destination the world has ever seen. That is the India worth fighting for.

@chiragbarjatya Some ppl have no civic sense. Was at a resort and everyone is talking at their tables. But a Grp of women were so loud that it was disturbing everyone else. I asked them to speak softly and they threw a fit that they came to enjoy and not be restricted! ๐
@harnidhish While bullying is bad, I think you should encourage her to Stand up for herself. Lot of ppl including women from previous generations have been bullied for diff reasons but once you cut out the noise and stand up for yourself, no one can stop you.
@Anushka257 fuel is hit means logistics is hit.. raw materials are hit as well..plastic for packaging etc is affected. For sometime the old stocks were available.. the manufacturers would have slowed manufacturing for petroleum based materials.
@Ajain112 Mostly fabric quality and fit.. M&S is good for me for basics. Itโs cotton with stretch . Feels breathable.
Bra tops like Uniclo for braโs . Comfortable and effortless. Good category to get into as there r no returns online too.
