One of my strongest takeaways and observation from Norway came while standing in a queue to buy an ice cream in Bergen.

A little girl, perhaps 5 or 6 years old, was standing with her father. Excited by all the flavours on display, she instinctively stepped ahead of me to get a better look.

Very gently, her father reminded her:

“Your turn will come. Please stay in the queue.”

I smiled and offered them my place.

The father politely declined.

What struck me was not the child’s behaviour. Any excited child would do the same.

What struck me was the lesson.

“We wait because everyone else is waiting. The rule does not change because someone is being kind.”

From a very young age, children are taught to respect shared public spaces, rules and the rights of others.
Not through punishments.
Not through lectures.
Through thousands of small corrections like this by their role models who happen to be parents, the best role model a kid can have.

High trust societies are not built by governments alone.

Thousands of such tiny corrections, repeated over years, create societies where people automatically queue for buses, stop at pedestrian crossings, return library books on time and generally trust strangers.

In India, children are also taught kindness, family values and hospitality exceptionally well, but public space behaviour receives far less emphasis.

I wish that would improve.

Anybody from this regime celebrating World Environment Day is a farce!

For the State and Municipal Corporations, let them speak on the following first before they can make videos and reels:

1) Allowing mines by diluting tiger corridors in Gadchiroli

2) Diluting the Eco Sensitive Zone in the Sahayadris- Western Ghats

3) Proposed hacking of 45,000 mangrove trees in Mumbai

4) Proposed hacking of 5,00,000 trees in Tansa Wildlife Sanctuary for Gargai Dam project

5) Legalising encroachments of bungalows and hotels in Sanjay Gandhi National Park under the name of a “master plan”

6) Diverting Forest land in Yeoor Forest, Thane to benefit a select few builders

7) Proposed chopping of the Vetal Tekdi hill for a road that isn’t needed

8) The riverfront destruction project in Pune which is the only example in the world where a river will be narrowed, shallowed. This will also increase the danger of floods to Pune city and its vicinity.

9) The government’s extreme keenness on cutting down Ajni Vann forest in Nagpur city

10) Proposed hacking of trees in the Empress Botanical Gardens of Pune

11) Failure to reduce the pollution emission from thermal power plants by not enforcing basic pollution control measures.

12) failure to shut down fly ash ponds and coal washeries near thermal power plants even

13) Hacking of trees in Nashik in the name of “development”, more so proposing to cut down Tapovann- the forest of meditation.

14) BMC converting recreation and playgrounds into residential plots for builders.

The list goes on.

The point is, why does the regime and its aligned organisations even put up the facade of celebrating world environment day, when all they believe in is hacking down forests, cutting down hills, and cementing up the rivers!

Two of India's leading experts on the Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Dr. Manish Chandi and Dr. Vardhan Patankar sat down with me to explain what is truly at stake in Great Nicobar.

From the leatherback turtles that cross entire oceans to nest at Galathea Bay, to birds, fish and wildlife found nowhere else on Earth, to the stunning coral reels that could be wiped out completely - these islands are an ecological treasure unlike anything India has.

We also spoke about something deeply troubling: how the Forest Rights Act was bypassed, and how the Nicobarese and Shompen tribal communities were manipulated into signing away land that is rightfully theirs.

This is a podcast every Indian should hear. The more people understand what is being destroyed - and how quietly it is being done - the harder it becomes for this government to get away with it.

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.

घटती लोकप्रियता, बढ़ती ताकत और टूटती चुप्पी
-----------------------------------------
सर्वमान्य तथ्य है कि दुनिया की किसी भी लोकतांत्रिक व्यवस्था में सर्वोच्च नेता की लोकप्रियता और उसकी ताकत समानुपाती होते हैं। यानी नेता जितना लोकप्रिय होगा उसी अनुपात में ताकतवर भी होगा।
नरेंद्र मोदी की लोकप्रियता 2018 आते-आते दम तोड़ चुकी थी। बेरोजगारी के आंकड़े पिछले 45 साल का रिकॉर्ड तोड़ रहे थे। अपने गढ़ गुजरात के विधानसभा चुनाव में मोदी हारते-हारते बचे। राजस्थान, मध्य-प्रदेश और छत्तीसगढ़ में बीजेपी सत्ता से बाहर हुई। राफेल का डर इतना था कि अरूण शौरी, प्रशांत भूषण और यशवंत सिन्हा की ओर से सौंपा गया आवेदन तत्कालीन सीबीआई निदेशक आलोक वर्मा द्वारा स्वीकार किये जाने के महज चंद घंटों के भीतर आधी रात को अमित शाह ने दिल्ली पुलिस भेजकर सीबीआई हेडक्वार्टर पर कब्जा कर लिया और वर्मा की जगह अपने एक पपलू को बिठा दिया।
नरेंद्र मोदी पूरी राजनीतिक यात्रा और सफलताएं कुछ ईश्वरीय संयोगों पर आधारित हैं। गोधरा की तरह पुलवामा भी एक संयोग बनकर आया और मोदी 2019 में सत्ता में लौटे। 2019 से लेकर 2024 तक लोकप्रियता के ग्राफ में गिरावट का हाल ये था कि मन की बात जैसे प्रधानमंत्री मोदी के तमाम यू ट्यूब वीडियो से कमेंट सेक्शन बंद करने पड़े थे। उसके बाद हर तरह के विभाजनकारी हथकंडों के बावजूद बीजेपी रो-पीटकर 2024 में 240 सीट तक पहुंच पाई। ज़ाहिर है मोदी लोकप्रियता के मामले में अपने राजनीतिक जीवन के सबसे निचले स्तर पर पहुंच गये।
मगर उसके बाद एक अनोखा जादू हुआ। देश की महान जनता ने तय किया कि एक अलोकप्रिय प्रधानमंत्री के हाथों में अभूतपूर्व ताकत देनी है। 2024 के बाद जितने भी विधानसभा चुनाव हुए उनमें अपवादों को छोड़कर जनता ने एक ही तरह के पैटर्न पर बीजेपी को भर-भरकर वोट दिये, है ना अनोखी बात!
अब दक्षिण भारत को छोड़कर पूरा देश भगवा रंग में रंगा हुआ है। पंजाब तक की हालत ये है कि बीजेपी जिस दिन चाहे भगवंत मान की सरकार गिरवाकर कठपुतली बिठा दे। बंगाल में मोदी की बीजेपी ने देश को एक नया मॉडल दिया है। पार्टियां तोड़कर यह सुनिश्चित किया जा रहा है कि पक्ष और विपक्ष दोनों बीजेपी ही होगी।
इन सबके बीच देश में एक और नई चीज़ हो हो रही है। उट-पटांग आर्थिक नीतियों सरकार चलाने में अपनी विफलता का ठीकरा वैश्विक परिस्थितियों पर फोड़ने की कोशिशें औंधे मुंह गिर रही हैं। कॉरपोरेट मीडिया के रात-दिन के प्रोपेगैंडा के बावजूद लोगों का डर खत्म हो रहा है और ड्राइंग रूम से लेकर सड़क तक लोग अब देश के हालात पर खुलकर बात करने लगे हैं।
इसका सबसे बड़ा उदाहरण मीम वाले अंदाज़ में सोशल मीडिया पर शुरू हुई कोक्रोच जनता पार्टी के सोशल मीडिया एकाउंट बंद करवाना है लेकिन क्या इस तरह की कोशिशों से जनता के असंतोष को दबाया जा सकता है? जनता की चुप्पी का टूटना एक बहुत बड़ा संकेत है। #rahulgandhivsfacts

@dayendtrader make or break?

[Varsha Torgalkar @varshasuman]

Riyazuddin Mansoori. Plz read this name again. He saved eight lives in Delhi hotel fire.

Mansoori n his son Arman, took out 20-25 mattresses from his shop n kept outside window of the hotel where fire broke out. So that people stuck inside could jump.

Eight people could save their lives because of Mansoori family. He didn't think about loss of a few lakhs of mattresses.

He himself might don't want to boast. But this is for everyone who try to criminalise every act by Muslims.
