On the one hand billions spent on war, on the other, people queuing up for food. The world has such misplaced priorities! 😢

In Panchkula, near the Khair forest area, more than 10,000 trees were cut overnight using silent cutters.

Khair wood is expensive, and the logs were transported on camels.

To avoid suspicion, the remaining stumps were burned.

This came to the notice of a forest guard named Vijay Kumar.

He said his father was a gardener, and seeing trees being cut felt like losing a part of his own family.

He raised a complaint with the forest minister.

But instead of action, he was suspended.

He is now sitting on a protest alone.

All this is happening in Haryana, where forest cover is already very low, around 3.25 percent.

So far, the issue has received very little media attention.

@babumoshoy Gujarat easily takes the crown for the most underwhelming food in the country. From the bland offerings in Ahmedabad to the borderline inedible Kathiyawadi specialty joints, the entire state is a literal dead zone for anyone who appreciates actual taste

Holi even became a tool for Political Resistance! ✊

​In 1926, while in Mandalay Jail, Subhas Chandra Bose led a hunger strike demanding the right for political prisoners to celebrate Holi. He even submitted a budget of ₹100 for the festivities.

The 5-Day Holiday: When Holi Ruled Bengal’s Colonial Calendar 🌸📜

Did you know that In 1787, the British gave a massive 5-day break for #Holi in Bengal, while Durga Puja was barely a blip! 😮

​Early colonial records show Holi was once the bigger official holiday. 🌸📜

[Vision History @VisionHistory]

The Shift: As the 19th century progressed, the Bengali middle class began to center their identity around Durga Puja.
​The British became more rigid

They viewed Holi as "unruly" & Durga Puja as "stately." Slowly, the 5-day Holi break was trimmed, and the Puja vacation expanded.
