There is no provision or mention of the word VIP (Very Important Person) in the Constitution of India. Article 14 (Right to Equality) guarantees equality before the law and equal protection of the laws to all citizens. @ECISVEEP better explain this arrived on the app in mid-Sep.
What an incredible rescue of a newborn elephant calf swept away by the Teesta River! The courage, compassion and quick thinking of local fishermen, combined with the swift response of the Baikunthapur Forest Division, deserve immense appreciation. Together, they successfully reunited the little one with its anxious mother. Bravo 👏 #elephants #wildliferescue
VIDEO | Chennai: A captive elephant Durga—a five-year-old female transferred 3,000 km from Assam to the Meenakshi Amman Temple in Madurai.
Founder for 'People for cattle in India' Arun Prasanna said that the intense physical and psychological trauma inflicted by relocating a young calf over long distances, separating her from her herd, and placing her in non-natural, paved temple environments unsuited to her complex species-specific needs.
He questioned the legal transparency, procedural scrutiny, and ownership history surrounding her transfer, raising alarms over alleged potential commercial interests.

Demoiselle cranes arrive in India from their breeding grounds in Central Asia, Mongolia, Siberia, parts of Eastern Europe & China. They fly over 5,000 kilometers, crossing the high peaks of Himalays. Here's a beautiful sight from Khichan village in Rajasthan.

The Indian saint Ramana Maharshi showed great reverence for the animals who were drawn to his ashram, including cows and dogs. But today, to his abode, juvenile elephants from Assam are being taken, to be kept in chains as status symbols. @CMOTamilnadu@TVKVijayHQ@RameshOffcl
Save the 5 baby elephants of Assam #Durga#Hiralal#Shiva#Rupsing and #Bijuli from a life of slavery and captivity in the temples of Tamilnadu. Durga is already trapped at Madurai Meenakshi temple. The other 4 are on their way

This is heartbreaking at so many levels. Baby orangutans hang around their mothers for 8-9 years. These babies were taken away from dead mothers, in all possibility.
🚨 4 MORE BABY ELEPHANTS on their way from Assam to Tamil Nadu
Their ears appear to have been pierced with holes—raising serious questions about whether these young elephants may have been wild-caught and subsequently tamed
After Durga, how many more?
WHO WILL STOP THESE ?
