Reading through the 18th-century India, 'Pagal Panthis' were termed 'Pagal' (mad or crazy) because they were deeply secular, casteless, and did not want the land to be exploited. Haha... exactly the people who should have led us were called 'mad' because their goal was equality.

We are fortunate to have seen Jean Drèze. But what have we done to Amartya Sen? Collectively, as a nation. We made our intellectuals our enemy!

@soulmeaning Is it weird that my life is so sorted out that the only things that trouble me are climate change, fascism, and a loss of freedom? Or are these rare, and even though compassion rules, it cannot touch these aspects?

@OrevaZSN Not trying to distract from the point, but Mongolia is actively trying to tell the same thing to the world. Due to their proposals to the UNCCD, 2026 is declared as the 'International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists'. I mean, somewhere someone will read this and go "OH YEAH".

“Cruel men believe in a cruel God, and use their belief to excuse their cruelty. Only kindly men believe in a kindly God, and they would be kindly in any case. Men tend to have the beliefs that suit their passions.”

We humans have a keen habit of beautiful discussions without meaningful action.

At least the 21st Century will be remembered for the global rise in women's rights, autonomy, and honor.

A child who has never heard a neighbourhood full of sparrows doesn't necessarily feel their absence. Someone who has never walked through a dense forest may consider a few roadside trees sufficient greenery.

And what a strange civilisation we would become if we remembered which animals belonged to our gods, but forgot that those animals belonged to the Earth.

Perhaps the deeper tragedy isn't merely that we're losing nature. It's that we're gradually losing our ability to notice what we've lost.

[WolVarun @VarunSr87911033]

The tragedy is that nature can be lost twice: first from the earth, and then from human memory.

[WolVarun @VarunSr87911033]

Every generation inherits a slightly diminished version of nature and begins to accept it as normal.

Freedom to exist without constantly fighting your surroundings, is a life I am searching.

We may have placed a little too much value on human life.

The North has always regarded land as a physical terrain, whereas the South made its geography an organic framework.

@REDBOXINDIA Noida as a region gave Painted Grey Ware potteries from the protohistoric period. A lot of them. Could have just went with that- PGW Intel. Airport. Maybe paint the airport with the same theme, keep some authentic potteries inside. Would have been real CULTURAL!

It's crazy to think that ancient China was responsible for so many invasions of India from the WEST! from the WEST!
