किसानों का ऐलान: काला दिवस, ट्रैक्टर मार्च | Farm Unions announce next steps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi3b2gr0cJI Ravish Kumar Official Feb 22, 2024
खिनौरी बॉर्डर पर नौजवान किसान शुभकरण सिंह की मौत के बाद किसान जत्थेबंदियों ने दो दिन के लिए दिल्ली कूच स्थगित कर दिया है। किसान माँग कर रहे हैं कि पंजाब पुलिस हरियाणा के मुख्यमंत्री और गृहमंत्री के ख़िलाफ़ FIR दर्ज करे, और अमित शाह समेत तीनों के इस्तीफ़े की माँग की है। 21 फ़रवरी को शंभु बॉर्डर और खिनौरी बॉर्डर पर 170 से अधिक किसान घायल हुए हैं, हरियाणा पुलिस के 6 पुलिसवाले भी घायल हुए हैं। संयुक्त किसान मोर्चा ने प्रदर्शनकारी किसानों के साथ तालमेल कर आक्रोश दिवस और ट्रैक्टर मार्च की घोषणा की है। 14 मार्च को किसान दिल्ली में महापंचायत करेंगे। जिस दिल्ली की राह में किसानों के लिए इतने काँटे बिछा दिए गए, उसी दिल्ली में महापंचायत की घोषणा कर किसानों ने काँटों-कीलों के तंत्र को अपनी तरफ़ से चुनौती दे दी है

 For the love of art: A testament to the truth
 https://www.tuftsdaily.com/article/2024/02/for-the-love-of-art-a-testament-to-the-truth  by Ishaan Rajabali Freedom of expression is more important than ever in times of conflict and misinformation.

How does canceling exhibitions or concerts help the situation? Much of the powerful anti-war, anti-establishment art that has influenced generations of artists and creators would be lost if a boycott was instituted during every international conflict...In an era of conflict, rife with propaganda and misinformation, anti-establishment art becomes a powerful form of protest, helping institute a legacy for future generations and telling a story of courage and determination..

Of course, if art or cultural expression urges discrimination or cruelty and could actually lead to violence, it should be questioned. For example, the 2022 Indian film “The Kashmir Files,” which claimed to expose conspiracies about the 1990 exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the region, received criticism for its clouding of facts and Islamophobic tone. The director defended the film even when videos of audience members spouting anti-Muslim rhetoric spread like wildfire on social media... In an era where patriotism is eschewed for nationalism, when freedom of expression needs to be carefully preserved “People who enjoy waving flags don’t deserve to have one.”

In 2011, Maharashtra had 1368 govt hospitals. It's dwindled to 586 in 2021. In 10 years, the number of Maharashtra's govt hospitals came down by 57%.

We're back to where we were in 1980.

Uttaranchal High Court directs Chief Wildlife Warden to follow procedure provided u/s 11 of Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 before directing to hunt/kill any wild animal “The decision of Chief Wildlife Warden to issue direction to hunt wild animal, has to be on a rational basis, foundationed on credible material, and not because of any pressure being exhorted by local politicians or people.”...

The Court referred to Section 11(1)(a) of the Act and opined that the CWW had the responsibility that before issuance of any order or direction for any wild animal or man-eater to be killed or hunted he had to satisfy himself, based on the material placed before him that the wild animal, as specified Schedule 1 of the Act, which included leopard and tiger had become dangerous to human being or because of the disablement of the wild animal, he was required to be hunted which became inevitable. The Court further opined that the decision of the CWW must be on rational basis, based on credible material and not because of any pressure exhorted by local politicians or people.

दम नहीं है तुम में: राहुल गांधी | Rahul in Uttar Pradesh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qavc5RPqJwY Ravish Kumar Official Feb 20, 2024

जिस तरह से राहुल गांधी ने प्रतापगढ़ में युवाओं से कहा, युवाओं के साथ-साथ उस 73 प्रतिशत आबादी से कहा जिसके हक का सवाल वे उठा रहे हैं, उससे यही लगता है कि यूपी से राहुल को खास उम्मीद नहीं है। जनता को जिस तरह से उन्होंने चुनौती दी है, ऐसी ललकारों से यूपी की राजनीति अब सुन्न हो चुकी है। राहुल ने पूरे दम से युवाओं को चुनौती दी कि अगर आपको अपने मुद्दे में यकीन है, बदलाव चाहते हैं तो मोबाइल और धर्म के असर से बाहर आइये, थोड़ा दम दिखाइये जो आपमें नहीं है। उत्तर प्रदेश की अपनी सभाओं में राहुल काफ़ी आक्रामक नज़र आ रहे हैं। यूपी की राजनीति में कांग्रेस को ज़मीन नहीं मिल रही है। वह तमाम मुद्दों पर जनता के साथ आती है और मतदान केंद्र पर जनता कांग्रेस के साथ नहीं जाती है। इस बीच यूपी में राहुल की यात्रा समाप्ति पर है मगर समाजवादी पार्टी से गठबंधन का एलान नहीं हो सका।
