Is India ready for the extreme heat of a 1.5C world? In a new @SFC_India report, we conduct the 1st multi-city analysis of the implementation of heat actions in India. We focused on 11% of the urban pop with some of the highest increases in heat risk. https://t.co/WXWuXp27EV

A long interview with a man who spoke from a combination of three identities: a Nicobarese, a former govt officer at Anthropological Survey of India & an academic. He elaborates on tribal ways of life at #GreatNicobar & why mega project is "very profane"

“We assure the people of J&K and the nation that Sitaram Yechury's political legacy will endure. We will follow the path of love, compassion for the oppressed, helpless, and needy as our tribute to him,” says @tarigami.

RIP Sitaram Yechury.

Sharing his last words before he quit Rajya Sabha-

“If you try to impose a uniformity, whether it is religious uniformity or linguistic uniformity or cultural uniformity, on our diversity, then this country can never remain together. It will only implode”

11 #SupremeCourt rulings over 10 months make bail easier for terrorism & money laundering, laws used to jail many without bail for years. Yet, the Court has avoided bail in high-profile cases important to govt narratives, writes @legallyuddin

The sound of gentrification is silence.

In Bihar, a teenaged Dalit girl was abducted, raped & brutally murdered. There are no marches, no candle light vigils, no media outrage. Sexual assault on Dalit women is considered banal, inconsequential. Outrage depends on caste & class location of the survivor / victim.

Hey Chennai, can you help us out?

We’re compiling a report for the @chennaicorp on water stagnation during the Chennai floods (Cyclone Michaung).

Please provide specific street names and photos of affected areas. Your input is crucial in addressing this issue. Thank you!

Excerpt from Mukul Sharma's monograph 'Dalit Ecologies' @CUPAcademic @thewire_in
"Dalit lives show an acute awareness of the complexities of weather, climate, and climate change, where caste distinctions play a critical role in shaping their experiences." https://t.co/2Vt8iSYSAe

A new study finds that the decimation of India's vultures led to deadly bacteria and infections, causing about half a million human deaths per year over five years. Here's the story of how it happened. https://t.co/MdGvozZLkk

1. Throughout his work Bruno Latour offers a critique not just of “modernity”, but also of “secular modernity” - in particular the claim of the secular to provide a structure within which all human ideologies are able to flourish equally.

Mahesh has got interim bail while he also has actual bail, if only the SC would vacate their stay and hear his case. Its been with the SC since September 2023. Such a farce.

192 homeless deaths were recorded in Delhi from June 11th to June 19th, 2024.

[Amitav Ghosh @GhoshAmitav]

Over the last ten years the Indian govt made many grandiose claims about its environmental record. But it was all greenwashing. In reality India "ranked last in the world i.e. 180 out of 180 countries on the 2022 Environmental Performance Index (EPI)." The actual record is well summarized here: https://t.co/3mS6wQ099D
