🧵1. Before the deluge of rains hit North India, Uttarakhand CM was lobbying the Centre.

To prepare for monsoon? No.

Our investigation reveals: For hasty approvals to continue mining 4 rivers, even during rains.

In 5 days, he got it.

My colleague @aggam_walia & I tell more 👇

[Gautam Bhatia @gautambhatia88]

What he won’t tell you:

➡️ Setalvad had received interim bail from SC nine months ago.

➡️ Given that, Guj HC denying regular bail and ordering to surrender “immediately” was highly irregular.

➡️ Hence, urgent hearing.

➡️ 3J bench required because 2J split.

It’s stories like these that keep the soul of journalism alive in this country.

“There are brokers who have a bride for every age and economy.”

This district of Rajasthan doesn't have enough young girls. Sex determination tests & a poor child-sex ratio have led to young girls from far-off states being trafficked as potential brides. https://t.co/xPPRcUQ1wj

India has a multi-billion hair industry and is one of its largest exporters.

Meanwhile, in Bangalore, 23-year-old Saraswathi collects human hair from households in exchange for aluminium vessels. This trade barely fills our pockets, she says. https://t.co/iatLgq7Mga

As #OceanGate #Submersible heading towards #Titanic is lost, let's take a moment to Salute and remember our Submariners and understand about their Lives inside Submarines.

Even hardcore sailors think ‘they’ are crazy, but they do so with great regard to the submariners.

Any man with the Dolphin badge deserves all the respect and some more, for they are the submariners; men who volunteer to lock themselves up in a windowless, cramped, steel contraption of a vessel to work tirelessly for one and a half months at a time with 250 ft of sea above them.

When they enter the submarine and the hatch closes above them they know fully well that there are no exit doors for them in the event of danger. Yet, they step down the ladder bravely with their heads held high.

The entry inside a submarine is through a conning tower where a cylindrical staircase drops 10ft down into abyss. Once inside, there goes the modern engineering Marvel called #submarine.

The heart thumps and the lungs expand, greedy for oxygen. One cannot help but look up at the hatch — the last source of sunlight. Once everybody climbs down, the door at the conning tower is sealed and secured. Now, you feel like you are inside a fully packed tube.

If you are claustrophobic it is at this point that you are willing to meet your Creator.

Surrounded by water, the most precious commodity inside the submarine is water, used only for drinking and cooking. The crews use disposable, medicated clothing.

Space inside the submarine gives the phrase packed-like-sardines-in-a-tin a new meaning. Filled with gadgets, valves, gauges and other instruments there’s hardly any space for the crew.

In some areas you cannot even walk straight as you collide head on with the heavy equipment.

The crew is exposed to chemical gases for several weeks. Lack of sleep and intense work & no sunlight affects their health.

Though submariners are provided with berths or racks to sleep, many often sleep where they work. Everyone onboard submarines cleans toilets without any hesitation.

A submariner goes to work the minute he steps inside one, every day is a work day, till he reaches port. Men lose count of their body clock spending long periods in closed quarters with no fresh air or sunlight; being away from family and friends; following a work-life routine very different from the regular also suffer loss of appetite.

Submariners are basically astronauts of the deep.

These exceptional super soldiers function and strike at the enemy target at a pace, which is faster than that of a second needle of the clock.

Sitting inside a menacing contraption, deep under the sea, fully aware of the dangers lurking in the waters, submariners are the bravest men of our country, safeguarding our nation from seaborne threats.

Adhvait P Menon, 16, has been an avid yachtsman since the age of 9 and has participated in Various National and International Championships. He topped the qualification round for the Asian Games 2023 and will be representing India at the event. To prepare for the Asian Games, he needs to sail with the best sailors in the class at international regattas and sailing camps. We hope the exposure that he gains will bring him closer to finishing with Gold in the Asian Games.

Please do consider donating generously for his future in sailing in India on the link below:

First piece in new series ‘Made Hungry in India’:

Why the workers who carry and sort food all day for the city’s residents remain underfed?
They get paid very low piece rates for tonnes of produce they sort, carry, lift, can barely afford a decent meal.

"No piece of art has ever emotionally affected me the way this robot arm piece has. It's programmed to try to contain the hydraulic fluid that’s constantly leaking out and required to keep itself running...if too much escapes, it will die so it's desperately trying to pull it back to continue to fight for another day. Saddest part is they gave the robot the ability to do these 'happy dances' to spectators. When the project was first launched it danced around spending most of its time interacting with the crowd since it could quickly pull back the small spillage. Many years later... (as you see it now in the video) it looks tired and hopeless as there isn't enough time to dance anymore.. It now only has enough time to try to keep itself alive as the amount of leaked hydraulic fluid became unmanageable as the spill grew over time. Living its last days in a never-ending cycle between sustaining life and simultaneously bleeding out... (Figuratively and literally as its hydraulic fluid was purposefully made to look like it's actual blood).
"The robot arm finally ran out of hydraulic fluid in 2019, slowly came to a halt and died - And I am now tearing up over a friggin robot arm 😭 It was programmed to live out this fate and no matter what it did or how hard it tried, there was no escaping it. Spectators watched as it slowly bled out until the day that it ceased to move forever. Saying that 'this resonates' doesn't even do it justice imo. Created by Sun Yuan & Peng Yu, they named the piece, 'Can't Help Myself'. What a masterpiece. What a message."
Extended interpretations: the hydraulic fluid in relation to how we kill ourselves both mentally and physically for money just in an attempt to sustain life, how the system is set up for us to fail on purpose to essentially enslave us and to steal the best years of our lives to play the game that the richest people of the world have designed. How this robs us of our happiness, passion and our inner peace. How we are slowly drowning with more responsibilities, with more expected of us, less rewarding pay-offs and less free time to enjoy ourselves with as the years go by. How there's really no escaping the system and that we were destined at birth to follow a pretty specific path that was already laid out before us. How we can give and give and give and how easily we can be forgotten after we've gone.. How we are loved and respected when we are valuable, then one day we aren't any longer and we become a burden...and how our young, free-caring spirit gets stolen from us as we get churned out of the broken system that we are trapped inside of. Can also be seen to represent the human life cycle and the fact that none of us make it out of this world alive. But also can act as a reminder to allow yourself to heal, rest and love with all of your heart. That the endless chase for 'more' isn't necessary in finding your own inner happiness.”
