There are few voices in Urdu literature as commanding and deeply moving as the legendary Zehra Nigaah Sahiba. Her poetry doesn't just speak; it holds a mirror to society with unparalleled grace, emotion, and power.

Why India needs an ‘Inflation Linked Salary Revision Act’, I argue in Parliament.

Between FY18 and FY26, real wages for salaried Indians fell by 16% because pay hike did not keep pace with rising inflation. That is why in Parliament I raised that a mandatory wage indexation formula is the need of the hour.

Government employees get protection through Dearness Allowance and periodic Pay Commissions. But 85% of India’s formal workforce has zero statutory inflation protection. They are at the mercy of employer discretion and their own negotiation power to get a pay hike.

Other economies already protect workers through automatic indexation.
• The US has COLA with automatic revisions
• Germany revises wages every 18–24 months
• Japan follows the annual Shunto system
• Belgium mandates automatic quarterly indexation

India needs statutory inflation protection, a minimum wage increase linked to inflation.

Inflation should not be India’s silent pay cut

Goa is more than just a party hotspot. It is home to the endangered Indian Ocean humpback dolphin that occur in densities amongst the highest in the world. Do watch our attempt to bring them closer to everyone else now on YouTube!

30+ #marinemammal species occur in #SouthAsia but where exactly are they? We used #SDMs to map the occurrence of 18 #whales, #dolphins, and #porpoises in the #ArabianSea and the #BayofBengal and explored the patterns and drivers of their diversity.

Welcome move by the Union govt on gig workers.

Oh you trolls who called it ‘champagne socialism’, that will ‘take the country to the dark ages of union raj’. Can’t wait to see your face as you prepare to call this ‘masterstroke’.

Raindrops can bounce and then roll down a slope, picking up sand as they go.

The sand-covered balls transport up to 100 times more sediment downhill than drops that don’t roll, a fact that could help make more realistic computer models of soil erosion and land change. https://t.co/rIjN0LbJsD @NewsfromScience

Result of Hulla Drive, again in Jhargram Div, 3 elephants run over by train at Banstola in midnight. The DFO claims they don't drive elephants. DFO needs to be suspended immediately.

No measures taken on railway crossing points, when elephant drive was happening no coordination with Railways.

Celebrating Van Mahotsav on one side and killing elephants on the other hand, what a parody by West Bengal Forest Department n specially Jhargram Div, which is also home town of Forest Minister.
