No, the video couple are detailing the cost of luxury,NOT the cost if living. This is such utter nonsense, and readers have been dumbed down enough to swallow this drivel. www.news18.com/viral/bengal...

Our Diyar Lidar (Dear Leader) first makes a historic tax rate increase, keeps it for some years, with even essential goods like sanitary napkins taxed at 18%, and then magnanimously slashes the rates. Historic!!

I don't plan to study in a US university in the next 3 years (way too old for that) so I can say this: the most powerful democracy rubbing the largest democracy the wrong way is an absolutely stupid move. India isn't even a significant trade partner of the US when compared to some other countries,

What is really sad about this response and the likes it has got, is the total lack of sensitivity and basic affection for a fellow human being.

Cereus jamacaru used as a hedge plant in Karnataka. My hand for size, to get an idea of the sheer size of the flower and the cactus itself. These cacti must easily be about 20+ years old. #gardening #agriculture

Don't mind the 'terrible PR' if it means fewer people descending on our once beautiful city. If it means less traffic jams and fewer cases of road rage. If it means less dumping of rubbish. And less of the 'let's flood the countryside on the weekend' culture.

Trump and the US will push India hard to open up to US Agricultural imports including wheat, milk and dairy. India must not buckle to this pressure, as it will put our mainly agrarian economy at risk. Further, it will weaken our self-sufficiency in food grains that we have maintained since 1973.

Replug | Almost 80% of the land needed for #GreatNicobar project is forest land. While government estimates that almost a million trees will be cut, a rainforest ecologist estimates the number could be as high as 10 million. See what Vaishnavi Rathore found out while visiting the island.

India is unlikely to allow US agricultural and dairy products (read milk) without any protection for its in-house production. It is but a step away from the British selling us shirts made in England, from Indian cotton, at a premium pre-Independence.

Instead of using toilet paper, it's time to shift to a health faucet. It's much more hygienic, saves paper and trees, and yes, you won't have to hoard wall-fulls of toilet paper! Just imaging what the world would look like if toilet paper wasn't required!

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

It's hardly fair that Trump (and therefore the United States) gets to literally piss on every agreement the rest of the world holds dear, while everyone tries to negotiate with him in their own individual nation's capacity.

Many of the (popular) climate models made in the 2000s predicted that the maximum amount of adverse effects would be felt in the tropics and somehow, in the global South. Now that it's coming every year to the global North, there's a heightened awareness and discussion about it.

There's a lot of negative propaganda off late about China and their demographic and economic downturn. Nobody however, is giving credit where due: their drastic switch to renewable energy and electric vehicles. The second largest emitter is soon going to have very low emissions.
