Lecture | Wild and Free: Biodiversity on our Plates
In this talk, Rajkamal Goswami @goswamirk explores how human food systems that were once entirely dependent on hunting, foraging, and gathering from the wild still retain traces of those ancient relationships, even within the most urbanised corners of the world.

For nearly 20 years, the forests of Arunachal Pradesh had fallen silent to one of natureโs most powerful predators.
No camera trap. No confirmed sighting. Just memories of a vanished tiger.
Now, against all odds, a Royal Bengal Tiger has finally been photographed again inside D Ering Memorial Wildlife Sanctuary near Pasighat, marking a stunning conservation comeback after almost two decades.
Back in 2014, surveys found no pugmarks or evidence of tigers here, with poaching believed to have wiped them out from the sanctuary.
But years of protection efforts, forest staff vigilance, and community involvement have now brought back the apex predator many feared was gone forever.

The whole comedy fraternity took a hit because of how stupid youโre. Shows were canceled, Venues pulled out, Judgements made, the pathetic shadow of your stupidity still continues to make lives of funny comedians difficult. You didnโt even care to understand that side.
Stop pretending to be the nice guy youโre not. Take your chequeโs,
lower your gaze & be very ashamed.
Youโre a contraceptive for creativity,
stop milking this & go back to what you do best which is being a hurdle for upward social change while FraudCasting & clout chasingโฆ
