The rapid destruction of forests across the Indian subcontinent isn't just an ecological crisis, it’s an existential one.
The Great Nicobar Project is a devastating example of corporate greed over nature. We must protect our roots before it's too late. #GreenOverGreed
I visited the southernmost tip of India.
I stood at Indira Point. I walked under trees that have stood for centuries. I dove into coral reefs among the most vibrant on earth.
And I sat with the people who live there. Tribal communities, whose land is being taken away by violating the Forest Rights Act. Settlers, many of them former soldiers, placed on these islands by the Indian government, who aren’t getting fair compensation.
The Modi government and BJP tells you Great Nicobar Project is about defence. It is not.
Expand INS Baaz - we will back the government fully. The Navy has been asking for expansion for five years - it has been ignored.
They tell you it is about a transhipment port. It is not. India is already building one in Kerala, which is on the mainland.
What it actually is: 1.5 crore trees felled. Coral reefs erased from official maps. Soldiers and tribals displaced - so one businessman can build hotels and casinos on India’s most irreplaceable ecological land.
Every young Indian I have spoken to understands this. You know that no amount of profit is worth destroying what can never be recovered.
I stand for ecologically balanced development. These islands can be the most extraordinary sustainable destination the world has ever seen. That is the India worth fighting for.

I aspire to match their work ethic, resilience, and commitment to excellence.
Still a work in progress, but moving in that direction every day.

Primeminister of India, Narendra Modi, would not take my question, I was not expecting him to.
Norway has the number one spot on the World Press Freedom Index, India is at 157th, competing with Palestine, Emirates & Cuba.
It is our job to question the powers we cooperate with.
I will continue to stack Gold, will do more road trips in my German petrol SUV which gives 6kmpl, will travel abroad at least 2-3 times a year (one already done this year), call all my staff to office everyday (canceling hybrid model).
I'd like to first see him & entire cabinet fly in commercial airline, travel in single car (no convoy) while not blocking the roads and using Indian car. Also, he must stop going abroad himself first.
@asmah2107 If you were starting over today with ~1+ years of experience, what roadmap would you follow for the next 3 years to get maximum career acceleration, especially in the current AI-driven software industry?
Meine apni biwi ko bola, "Mei Amit Shah ji ki rally mei gya tha, unhone kaha woh abh mullo ko 4 shaadi nahi karne denge! Kitna acha decision haina?"
Biwi boli "Bsdk tujhe mullo se kya lena dena? Naukri par kab jayga tu? Rally mei jane se ghar chalega kya? Kab tak mein free ration ki line mei lagu? Bacho ki fees Shah bharega?"
Meine bola "Ruk ja, aya mein Raghav Chadha ki support mei ek tweet karke!"
ABH WOH BACHO KO LEKAR KAHIN CHALI GYI HAI, PHONE BHI NAHI UTHA RAHI, PADOS KE SHARMA JI BHI GAYAB HAIN.
Delimitation shouldn’t reward population growth alone. States that controlled it shouldn’t lose representation.
A fair model: 50% seats by population, 50% by economic performance.
Representation must reflect both people and performance, not just numbers.
