'Every place has its own 'code of the land'. If the code is not felt in our intellectual activities our literary activities will be of no consequence. There is every visible foreign, (primarily Western) influence on our sense of judgement.'

Protecting these sacred geological and cultural marvels ensures future generations can study and marvel at our planet's deep heritage. A few instances from visit.

Preserving the ancient antiquity of Maharashtra as Lonar is vital to safeguarding a priceless intersection of 50,000-year-old cosmic history with breathtaking ancient architecture. We need more persistent efforts than a sudden rush of tourists to find an alternative to Hampi.

The world, Europe, and Spain have faced this critical moment before. In 2003, a few irresponsible leaders dragged us into an illegal war in the Middle East that brought nothing but insecurity and pain.

Our response then must be our response now:

NO to violations of international law.

NO to the illusion that we can solve the world’s problems with bombs.

NO to repeating the mistakes of the past.

NO TO WAR.

The G RAM G is all set to destroy MGNREGA in the guise of revamping it as a new scheme. Here are 3 big issues:
1. Central govt retains power to decide where and when the new scheme comes into force (!!!). This makes a mockery of the legal guarantee.

A question of the most vulnerable communities with hints of interpretation. Noteworthy difference in headline of print and online editions suggest different stories, yet it’s blissful that govt recognises that coexistence of man & animal is plausible.

In the viral YouTube debate show “Surrounded,” the goal “is not to inform or educate, to listen or process, to build or intellectualize but to win, to own, to dunk on, to break the opponent’s brain,” @braydbay writes. https://t.co/kRDk3J0w6A
