JUST IN | Congress candidate Milan Pradhan for the by-election for Nandigram constituency, has been arrested by the West Bengal police in an old case. This comes an hour after Mamata Banerjee said she will support the Congress candidate after her own candidate withdrew her nomination.

Women wrestlers protested for months against government inaction, faced police aggression and had to approach the Supreme Court before complaints of sexual abuse against a BJP strongman were even registered. But do continue to gush about sports in the Modi era, dear #PVSindhu.
“The Isha Foundation mentioned only its 80 clients missing in the floods as part of the tour, even refusing to mention the names of 12 other Nepali tour guides who were also part of the Kailash Yatra.”

1386 bodies recovered. 5130 still missing. Tell us, what was their crime?
I am writing this from the Himalayas from a country responsible for only around 0.1% of global greenhouse-gas emissions. Nearly 46% of our land is covered by forests. Around 94% of our installed electricity capacity comes from hydropower. We are rapidly moving away from fossil-fuel vehicles too: EVs accounted for about 74% of Nepal’s four-wheeled passenger vehicle imports in 2025/26. We protect forests. We generate electricity from our rivers. We are embracing electric mobility at a pace few countries in the world have matched. Yet today, our people are digging through mud, searching rivers and waiting beside phones for the names of their loved ones.
The Bhote Koshi flash flood has shown us what it means to live beneath a rapidly changing cryosphere. Our glaciers are retreating, our frozen mountains are becoming increasingly unstable, and the rivers that generate our clean electricity can also carry destruction into communities below. We did not build our prosperity by burning generations of coal and oil. We contributed almost nothing to creating the climate crisis at this scale. But we are being forced to survive its consequences. The people whose bodies are being pulled from rivers did not cause this crisis. The families still waiting for thousands of missing people did not cause it. The children, farmers, workers and mountain communities who lost everything did not cause it.
So from the Himalayas, we ask the industrialised world: how many Himalayan bodies will be enough? How many mothers must wait for children who never return? How many villages must disappear before “climate justice” becomes more than a speech at another conference? Do not come to us only with sympathy after the bodies have been counted. Come with responsibility. Come with climate finance, adaptation, loss-and-damage support and the courage to cut emissions at the scale this emergency demands. We want climate justice. We want the right to survive in our own mountains. We want a world where being born in the Himalayas is not a death sentence for a crisis we did not create.
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
NOTE: it is sometimes best to put out a full proper video before engaging in worst form of character assassination . Here is Indira Gandhi at 1983 NAM summit holding out her hand to Fidel Castro. The Cuban leader then takes her consent (through an interpreter) and hugs her briefly . He called her his ‘sister’. The entire exchange is done with quiet dignity. To score cheap political points why coarsen the narrative? (Thank you @_kajalbasu for sharing video on Facebook)
Hahah - no mention of the $10 billion deal? The judge called it “unusual & concerning” that senior US official collaborated with defense lawyers without consulting the investigating agents…
Pretending to care about women's rights when Udhay spoke in a bad way against Trisha but then goes forward to post a photo with a fraud who killed his wife, destroyed forests to built Isha centre where several girls have disappeared & there are several cases of sexual assault🤡
