It was a tremendous experience to work on this project with this amazing team of researchers. Our paper examines the breadth of carnivore research in India and highlights gaps and biases in the species studied and translation of science to policy. Check out this thread for more!

What better way to celebrate #AzadiKaAmritMahotsav with independent #India turning 75 than to have this paper just published in #BioCon!

I am at Safdarjung hospital in Delhi where @Wangchuk66 has been admitted. Nothing should be administered to him orally or intravenous without take consent from me, his family and his doctors who have been monitoring his health for the past 20 days.

The only positive of the NCERT syllabus change is that children will learn about one of India's forgotten revolutionaries.

This country is filled with too many selfish people dealing with scarcity mindsets

@pavyg 'Stated the error was from Umberto Ferrara' where? I did not find that in the article. Why are you lying? Did the Serbs ask you to? Nigel Farage?

Dalit and Adivasi villagers who opposed a Vedanta project were not only arrested, but the Orissa High Court also ordered them to clean police stations.

An Indian Express investigation of over 100,000 NGT orders since 2020 shows that the tribunal has ruled in favour of project developers in four out of every five cases — either by upholding a contested clearance or staying its denial.

Kudos, Nikhil Naz, for exposing the farce that was Lionel Messi's India tour.

The cost of this tour was Rs. 120 crore.

At the same time, India's national football league stands suspended because nobody is willing to shell out Rs. 35 crore.

Archives | Nematullah Naqadi and Taqi Daryabi were tortured at a police station for reporting on a women's march in Kabul on 8 September.

“It was worth it,” Naqadi, who still has trouble seeing and hearing, told me. “It was an important event in history. It was important to give voice to the women.”

If rights of citizens depends on personal beliefs of judges and the composition of benches, why even have a constitution? Or any law, for that matter

🚨Another Grind 🩸

22 pilot whales were slaughtered this week in Hvannasund in the Faroe Islands 🇫🇴. The ninth grind of the year.

🩸More senseless murder.
🩸More lives wasted.
🩸Disgusting and completely unnecessary.

Whatever you learned in your civics lessons in school about the judiciary is being proven untrue right before our eyes.

[Bar and Bench @barandbench]

Umar Khalid delivered speeches in Amravati which coincided with the visit of US President Donald Trump. This cannot be lightly brushed aside: Delhi High Court in order denying bail to Umar Khalid.

🚨 BIG REMARK by Madras High Court

IMPLEMENT Supreme Court order on STRAY DOGS in Tamil Nadu, says Court.

[Aditya B @psilopogon]

@abi_vanak Does it? The SC judgement doesn't attempt to try and direct the formulation of a holistic new strategy. This feels like a knee-jerk reaction, a band-aid solution to a problem that needs dealing with at a systemic level, which won't happen while relying on current state machinery.

[Milind Pariwakam 🇮🇳🐅🐕‍🦺🦮🏊🚴🏃 @MilindPariwakam]

The corrupt and inept municipality cannot clean gutters and roads of garbage and has now been entrusted with managing 10 lakh dogs in shelters. This is a job which they can never achieve and am sorry to say the Supreme Court order is a poorly thought out dictat. 1/n

Scientists and researchers assessing environmental and biodiversity impacts for Rs. 81,000 crore #GreatNicobar mega project worked under immense institutional pressure and gag orders to provide favourable reports
