THE MODI-ADANI NICOBAR SCAM | The Great Nicobar island project is around 921 sq. km, which is one of the most beautiful thick rainforest in the world. Out of that 166 sq. km is given to Adani, for building a port, power plant, two new cities and an Airport.
They even manipulated India's maps to give approval for this project. For ordinary citizens of India, construction is prohibited in coastal areas where there is coral reefs. In 2021. the map of Great Nicobar island is redrawn by removing the coral reefs from the coast and placing it in the middle of the ocean.
Think of the scale of the fraud that is done by Modi for Adani. Our leader @RahulGandhi was blocked from visiting the islands several times. Watch, share and raise your voice against this scam. This is probably the biggest scam Modi-Adani duo has done. Beyond the scam, it is going to destroy our nation's thickest rain forest forever.
LoP Shri @RahulGandhi met tribal families in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands, displaced after the tsunami and still waiting for their original land.
They were never consulted. Now, in the name of a “project,” 160 sq km of rainforest is set to be destroyed, pushing them towards displacement once again.
We will stand with them to protect their land, their livelihoods, and their future.
I travelled through Great Nicobar today.
These are the most extraordinary forests I have ever seen in my life. Trees older than memory. Forests that took generations to grow.
The people on this island are equally beautiful - both the adivasi communities and the settlers - but they are being robbed of what is rightfully theirs.
The government calls what it is doing here a “Project.” What I have seen is not a project. It is millions of trees marked for the axe. It is 160 square kilometres of rainforest condemned to die. It is communities that have been ignored while their homes have been snatched away.
This is not development. This is destruction dressed in development’s language.
So I will say it plainly, and I will keep saying it: what is being done in Great Nicobar is one of the biggest scams and gravest crimes against this country’s natural and tribal heritage in our lifetime.
It must be stopped. And it can be stopped - if Indians choose to see what I have seen.
This is unbelievable, unacceptable!
National Green Tribunal clears the massacre of irreplaceable flora and fauna of Great Nicobar for a Port (surely to be bagged by a crony to profiteer)
and naval outpost!
A whole tribe will be wiped out and the project will endanger a very ecologically fragile zone.
Any class 10 pass would understand this.
Let's wind up the NGT because it also says "Modi hain to mumkin hain"! @IndianExpress@UNEP

Malayalam cinema won't be the same without the genius of #Sreenivasan. From the satirical bites of “Sandesham”to the raw emotion of “Vadakkunokkiyantram”, he taught us to laugh at ourselves while thinking deeper. A true master of the craft who redefined what it means to be a "hero" on screen, & who was an effective director as well.
Beyond the actor was a brilliant writer who captured the pulse of Kerala like no other. Sreenivasan’s scripts are time capsules of social commentary, humor, and unparalleled wit. There will never be another observer of life quite like him. 🕉️ शांति!

“I think of the words of Jawaharlal Nehru. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance.”
@ZohranKMamdani invokes the immortal words from Pandit Nehru’s Tryst With Destiny speech to honour the architect of modern India.
Nehru’s legacy continues to echo across oceans and generations, no matter how much you malign him Mr Modi. Deal with it!
