Another tragic road accident has taken innocent lives after a car crashed into a parked truck.
When trucks are stopped for licence, papers and fitness checks, their RUPD (a strong safety guard at the back of the truck that prevents cars from going underneath it) should also be mandatory and checked to ensure it is functional. Proper reflective markings should also be compulsory.
A crash may not always be avoidable, but a life can be saved. 🙏
794 bodies recovered. Thousands still unaccounted for. 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.
A law is only as strong as its enforcement.
IAS Tukaram Mundhe launched a food safety crackdown where no one was exempt—not roadside eateries, not famous restaurants, and not even the Bombay High Court's canteens.
Do you think every state should launch a similar drive?
Let us know in the comments.

Please watch! This is simply wonderful!
China 🇨🇳 bringing every citizen out of extreme poverty.
India 🇮🇳 bringing hundreds of millions into a better life!
In any other country (even 3rd world like us, forget a country claiming to be a Vishwaguru), even a single such incident in a year would have caused massive uproar.
But for us, it’s probably 50th case in this year of being killed by the all-pervasive corruption-nexus of govt, IAS, and business.
Nothing will change and next time it would you be you or me or our families perishing in this hellhole created by cruel systems.
“To beard the lion in his den.”
The dictionary defines it as boldly confronting a powerful rival on their own turf.
For years, Norway Chess has been Magnus Carlsen’s den. His turf. His domain.
So I woke up to this news and my jaw dropped.
You didn’t just win a title, @rpraggnachess.
You walked into the lion’s den and emerged victorious
This title is important. Not because of the trophy, but because of your challenger spirit.
And that’s something all of us can learn from…

Sharp Edge:The Ugly Indian.
Why have Indian tourists become so unwelcome abroad? Is it because we display no consideration for local sensibilities? Is it because we can be loud & pushy? Is it because we are aggressive & arrogant (especially in Asia?)

This is what racism in America looks like. Innocent Indians targeted.
Will American Media report about this special American experience for a select group of people across the globe?
