21st Day OF MY #CLIMATEFAST
350 people slept in - 10 °C. 5000 people in the day here.
But still not a word from the government.
We need statesmen of integrity, farsightedness & wisdom in this country & not just shortsighted characterless politicians. And I very much hope that @narendramodi ji & @AmitShah ji will soon prove that they are statesmen...

20th Day OF MY #CLIMATEFAST
3000 people fasting with me. But still not a word from the government.
Very unusual for a democracy... when 90% of the population have come out to remind the leaders of their promises and 100s have been on fast some for 20 days.
But we're very impressed by the public support nationwide... making up for the compromised mainstream media.

As nature seems to find no serious place in our parliaments & policy making, I'm sharing a cray idea here.
Voting rights to nature.
It may sound weird, just as giving voting rights to women or blacks was unthinkable till about 100 years ago.
The question is which country might start it first! Can it be India!?

BEGINNING OF DAY 16 OF #CLIMATEFAST
120 people sleeping outdoors under clear skies. Temperature: - 8 °C
16 days of just water n salts is finally taking a toll. Feeling quite week. But I can still drag for another 25 days n perhaps will.
I'm sure our path of truth will win eventually.
In Anna Hazare's case Parliament unanimously passed the Lokpal Bill by the 13th day of his fast. Mahatma Gandhi had to sit for 21 days.
Let's see how long ours takes...!
We shall overcome some... day.

BEGINNING OF DAY 13 OF MY #CLIMATEFAST
250 people slept hungy in - 12 °C to remind the Indian Government of their promises to safegurad Ladakh's environment and tribal indigenous culture.
First of all many heartfelt thanks to all who participated in yesterday's protests in different cities. Updates are still pouring in & we'll share this evening.
This Government likes to call India the 'Mother of Democracy'. But if India denies democratic rights to people of Ladakh & continues to keep it under bureaucrats controlled from New Delhi then it could only be called a Stepmother of Democracy as far as Ladakh is concerned.

Richard Feynman on God and religion 💭
It doesn't seem to me that this fantastically marvelous universe, this tremendous range of time and space and different kinds of animals, and all the different planets, and all these atoms with all their motions, and so on, all this complicated thing can merely be a stage so that God can watch human beings struggle for good and evil — which is the view that religion has. The stage is too big for the drama.
- as mentioned in Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman (1992)
