Trees everywhere help in soil binding
Them being on both sides of the road can ensure no destruction of the soil around it, and that the road stays intact even in storms
It's a mystery of what the people are achieving through such devastation
#CuttingTreesIsNotDevelopment
While going through my dad's old passport, I realised that for a period of time in history, Indian Passports were valid to travel all countries except South Africa.
The Govt of India had openly Boycotted the apartheid era South African regime.
Yall think this is funny but it’s truly sad. A man could literally be dying and still have enough energy to sexually assault a woman trying to save his life.
The text ‘Madhura Vijayam’ by Gangadevi, written in the 14th century, is noted for describing the features of Muslim rule who were regarded as foreigners.
- Sounds of Vedic chanting replaced by drunken roars of Turks
- the rivers flowed with the blood of slaughtered cows
- Dharma and Virtue vanished
- Yavanas were compared with the cruel Kansa, who was killed by Lord Krishna.
1943. A mother gives birth during famine.
Her milk dries up in 11 days.
Her infant dies in 14.
Bengal had grain. It had rail networks to move it.
It moved jute for war supply instead.
Production didn't fail.
Priorities did.
How would it feel to a hungry mother seeing her children dying of hunger who she gave birth barely 1 year ago?

One of the biggest problems Indian women face during long road trips is the lack of proper toilets on highways.
Men can simply stop the vehicle and relieve themselves almost anywhere, but women often have to wait until they find a hotel or a proper restroom.
Because of this, many women feel uncomfortable going on long journeys, especially with people they don't know well...!
A woman was compelled to dance while pregnant, to the extent that she had to deliver her baby backstage only to return and finish the performance. And we are expected to find this brave? This is a story if exploitation and the condition of women with no rights!
This video of Indian students trying to open a door to save someone from suicide in india gets recycled on this app every month with the exact same caption with elon's platform boosting it. We don't hate these people enough.
If the internet connection in our homes, the gas cylinder in our kitchens, and the fuel in our vehicles reach us without interruption, there is a woman working behind the scenes in the dark depths of the ocean, holding her breath and taking immense risks — Atulya K.V.
Born in the small village of Pattambi in Kerala's Palakkad district, Atulya is a Malayali woman who ventured into the world's deep oceans and made history. She is India's first female commercial diver.
While scuba diving is generally a recreational activity enjoyed for exploring the beauty of the sea, Atulya's work involves the far more dangerous field of commercial diving.
When major underwater oil and gas pipelines or internet cables are damaged, it is Atulya who dives beneath the sea to carry out repairs, welding, and maintenance work. She is also the only woman in India with the commercial license required to perform such operations.
She has visited many parts of the deep-sea world that most of us have never seen. Beneath the sea behind the Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Thiruvananthapuram, Atulya discovered unusual cave-like underwater formations.
Similarly, while diving off the coast of Kozhikode, she discovered ancient boats and marks believed to have been caused by cannonballs in an area thought to have served as a hideout of Kunjali Marakkar.
One of Atulya's long-standing dreams is to ensure that such discoveries are properly documented and preserved as part of history.
She completes these missions while facing powerful underwater currents and dangerous marine creatures such as stonefish and stingrays.
According to Atulya, nothing on the ocean floor truly belongs to us. The creatures living there are lives just like ours. Rather than disturbing them, we should become a part of their world, respect them, and appreciate them.
Atulya, a Malayali woman who safeguards both critical national infrastructure and remnants of history in the unseen depths of the sea, is herself a part of history.
Sadly, it must be said that even Wikipedia has not adequately recognized her with photographs and proper documentation.
The world should know about people like her—especially this young woman who is a pride of Kerala. Let that recognition begin with us.
70,000 year old human DNA found in Tamil Nadu. Scientists have long known that humanity started in Africa and moved to India which became an incubator of genetic diversity. Thread:
▶️ In 1999, a study conducted by the Estonian biologist Toomas Kivisild, with 14 co-authors from various nationalities, revealed there was no recent population movement towards India; rather the Indian Subcontinent served as a pathway for eastward migration of people from Africa, some 40,000 years ago.
▶️ Kivisild and his team agree that India acted "as an incubator of early genetic differentiation of modern humans moving out of Africa."
▶️ A year later, 13 Indian scientists led by Susanta Roychoudhury studied 644 samples of mitochondrial DNA from 10 Indian ethnic groups, especially from the east and south. They found a "fundamental genomic unity of ethnic India."
▶️ DNA studies also support the Out of India Theory. Haplogroup M17 is regarded as the signature genetic implant of Caucasians on Indian populations. An extensive 2003 study conducted on 1,000 Indians stressed that M17, which is found frequently in Central Asia, is present in two aboriginal tribes in India.
▶️ Another study in 2006 headed by Indian biologist Sanghamitra Sengupta concluded there is no evidence whatsoever to conclude that Central Asia is the donor rather than the receptor of M17.
▶️ In his book The Real Eve, archaeologist Stephen Oppenheimer, says, "South Asia is logically the ultimate origin of M17 and his ancestors; and sure enough we find the highest rates and greatest diversity of the M17 line in Pakistan, India, and eastern Iran, and low rates in the Caucasus. M17 is not only more diverse in South Asia than in Central Asia, but diversity characterises its presence in isolated tribal groups in the south, thus undermining any theory of M17 as a marker of a ‘male Aryan invasion’ of India.
▶️ Oppenheimer: "One average estimate for the origin of this line in India is as much as 51,000 years. All this suggests that M17 could have found his way initially from India or Pakistan, through Kashmir, then via Central Asia and Russia, before finally coming into Europe."
▶️ The good thing about science is that unlike the Bible, Koran and racist German Indologists, it always seeks and provides the truth. It might take decades or even centuries to establish the truth, but once it does, the lies of religions and racists quickly disappear like dew in the desert.
▶️ However, if in the future it is indeed found that most Indians have genes that came from the Caucasus region, it wouldn't make one bit of difference to India's heritage. The things that racist German Indologists want to appropriate are Sanskrit, Vedas, Yoga, Upanishads and the word Aryan. These are all indigenous to India. The word Aryan is European orthography of the Sanskrit word Arya and was stolen by Max Muller.
▶️ So Europeans claiming the Sanskrit and the Vedas are theirs is even more fantastical than people in New Zealand or St Helena patting themselves on their backs for the American moon landings. Yes, your fellow Anglosphere people did it, but you had absolutely nothing to do with it.
