I visited the southernmost tip of India.
I stood at Indira Point. I walked under trees that have stood for centuries. I dove into coral reefs among the most vibrant on earth.
And I sat with the people who live there. Tribal communities, whose land is being taken away by violating the Forest Rights Act. Settlers, many of them former soldiers, placed on these islands by the Indian government, who aren’t getting fair compensation.
The Modi government and BJP tells you Great Nicobar Project is about defence. It is not.
Expand INS Baaz - we will back the government fully. The Navy has been asking for expansion for five years - it has been ignored.
They tell you it is about a transhipment port. It is not. India is already building one in Kerala, which is on the mainland.
What it actually is: 1.5 crore trees felled. Coral reefs erased from official maps. Soldiers and tribals displaced - so one businessman can build hotels and casinos on India’s most irreplaceable ecological land.
Every young Indian I have spoken to understands this. You know that no amount of profit is worth destroying what can never be recovered.
I stand for ecologically balanced development. These islands can be the most extraordinary sustainable destination the world has ever seen. That is the India worth fighting for.

Dear Vivek Razdan sb, pl understand J&K is not playing for ur entertainment. They are there to win the prestigious trophy.
So pl spare us from ur unsolicited suggestions of declaration, giving Karnataka a go, dull cricket.
Didn’t hear such comments when KARNATAKA did worst to Uttarakhand. !!!!
Pl be informed, we know what we are doing.
Congratulations Jammu & Kashmir on winning Ranji Trophy , it is a dream come true, and going to inspire generations.
You thoroughly deserved it, even the neutrals feeling teary for your achievement .
#RanjiTrophy
@cricketaakash FYI Keshav (sla) replaced another left armer Linde , not an off spinner..
And india did not dropped Axar, it is the same X1 from the last game against Netherlands, it is just like India did not picked Axar for this game
@samiprajguru@BCCI I seriously doubt you being a sports editor of a big channel, were you hiding under a big mountain , so you cannot see J&K churning out steady performance through our the season. They truly deserve , where they are
@mufaddal_vohra The talks have started not to set the GAME ON , but it is about the sanctions ICC threatening to initiate. Pakistan are putting their case as to why they should not be penalised for anything.
@abhishereporter Harshit was never going to be in the starting X1 , why not then get Shami as backup into the squad, he can bowl deadly yorkers, can bowl upfront. And could tonk a few sixes lower down the order.
@abhishereporter ICC wants Pakistan to RECONSIDER their decision to boycott the India match,and at the helm of ICC is Mr. JAY SHAH
what happens to Pakistan cricket should not be India's concern
But Mr. Dubious Reporter will you ask BCCI why are they hell bent on playing Pakistan again & again?
@Rajiv1841 The real shame is on BCCI and Indian administration
ICC wants Pakistan to reconsider their decision, and at the helm of ICC is Jay Shah
Peanut countries like Bangladesh & Pakistan have the courage to take a stand
And BCCI shamelessly wants to play with Pakistan again and again
What happens to Bangladesh and Pakistan cricket , should not be India's concern.
But do you have the balls to ask BCCI bluntly why are they Hell bent on playing Pakistan again and again ?
Tum patrakaar ho bhi ya sirf PR sambhaalte ho khaas logon ka?
Bangladesh aur Pakistan ne ek stand liya,they will be sanctioned for it surely
But BCCI shamelessly keeps playing pakistan
ICC wants Pakistan to reconsider their decision,and at the helm of ICC is Jay Shah

बिना जाने हर चीज पर ज्ञान पेलने से बचना चाहिए। ये जय शाह वाला आइसीसी ही है जो बांग्लादेश के आगे नहीं झुका। उसी के कारण पाकिस्तान ने बायकॉट किया। अब दोनों क्रिकेट बोर्ड बुरी स्थिति में पहुंचेंगे। उनके ऊपर ऐसे ऐसे प्रतिबंध लगेंगे कि उनके घर पर ही खिलाड़ियों की बगावत हो जाएगी। एक सड़कछाप गुंडा (पाकिस्तान ) अगर गली में खड़ा होकर गाली बकने लगेगा तो मोहल्ले का अमीर आदमी सड़क पर नहीं उतरता। पुलिस को बुलाकर उसको कानून के तरह अंदर करवाता है।
@abhishereporter Bangladesh ne stand liya apne ek player ke liye,knowing all what is at stakes.
Pakistan showed solidarity,risking a lot
But shame at BCCI, besharmo ki tarah pakistan ke sath khele hi jaa rahe hain
Jay Shah who is at helm of ICC,
and ICC wants Pakistan to reconsider their decision
@JARA_Memer Do you even properly follow cricket ?? She is in blazing hot form , when she gets going , she can put any hard hitter of the game to shame.
