What kind of organisation erases its journalists? It's been a year and a half since I quit as the NE India Correspondent for @Outlookindia After I left in March 2023, I have discovered that they changed the bylines of 90% of my stories, a blatant injustice to my work.

India’s particulate pollution slightly dropped in one year, between 2021 and 2022. Despite this decline, the annual average particulate pollution level in most areas exceeds WHO guidelines. @VinayaKurtkoti reports. india.mongabay.com/2024/09/pollut…

A poem for my grandchildren (if I ever have any) Letter to Someone Living Fifty Years from Now Most likely, you think we hated the elephant, the golden toad, the thylacine and all variations of whale harpooned or hacked into extinction. It must seem like we sought to leave you…

Lesser adjutants primarily hunt live prey such as fish, rats, and snakes. By eating rats, they help farmers, and by consuming snakes, they help maintain the balance of the snake population. @VinayaKurtkoti reports. india.mongabay.com/2024/09/lesser…

Wonderful to see a call to action on the Palestinian genocide being made by a young graduating engineer from IIT M at their convocation. Especially the part where he calls on fellow engineers to interrogate how their own work fits into systems of global oppression.

@ProsaicView @GorwayGlobal @sarayupani can’t resist sharing this ! IITM Governor’s medal winner Dhananjay calls out the gen*cide in Gaza and speaks for Palestine . Gladdened my heart ! Scroll towards the end of the video .
