First, ignore. Then, bludgeon. Third, befriend! (well, try to ...). A toolkit that failed the Indian govt, drunk as it is in own arrogance, when confronted by resolute youth power.

At Cockroach Janta Party rally in Delhi. Impressive come-back after police atrocities on 20 July, 5-10,000 people, mostly youth, many more coming in. Simultaneous demonstrations across India. Its ability to remain independent of pol. parties, & collaboration with other social movements, are crucial.

What a privilege to walk with one of the planet's oldest creatures! Komodo 'dragons' (monitor lizards) have been around for 4 million years! In April a childhood dream came true, of seeing these amazing animals, on trip to Komodo Island Indonesia. Video courtesy @shrishteebajpai.bsky.social
