Day 5 of proving bird names makes no sense. The naming is all over the place for this fairly common north American warbler. A name is supposed to describe the species/paint anyone a mental picture easily. This species got its name for the shape of the nest it builds🤦🏻‍♂️ #birds #WhatWereTheyThinking

First ever record of Pectoral sandpiper from eastern India in its entirety. Photographed off the coast of Bay of Bengal in frazergunj by a team of 5 bird watchers at midday yesterday. Found roaming in a pond a bit away from the actual shore. This is a vagrant for India. Photograph off Facebook.

Found some people really upset about a death across the world. More than a genocide actually. So it seems to be a good day to post this.

Day 5 of proving bird names makes no sense. This is another interesting one. This fairly common Australian robin was called brown flycatcher till 1926. Then its name changed under colonialism supposedly due to its winter call. Now it’s a mob boss. Or a porn star. #birds #WhatWereTheyThinking

Day 4 of proving bird names makes no sense. This is an interesting one. It was supposed to have a hummingbird added to its name at the end. But during some point, someone decided to omit it and that name have stuck since! Like what??? I give up🙏🏻 #birds #WhatWereTheyThinking

Ohh my god. A flycatcher is stuck with a depressing name because someone wrongly identified it instead of pewee. Talk about injustice😔

Okay then. Let’s start with this inexplicable name. A Jamaican flycatcher who is forbidden to be happy. This is one of those names that absolutely shut me up with the suddenness, the fact that it hasn’t been changed since is even more ridiculous. I would loveeee to know the lore behind its name

Apparently a slogan is a terrorism while this is not. On video, a rescue operation in a hospital is attacked. The level of war crime committed off video is not even comprehensible. The pattern of attacking the journalists, children, women, wounded are still the same months later. Ghouls.

NTCA on July 25th filed an affidavit in Bombay HC stating they were in process of strengthening the definition of tiger corridors based on various criteria. About a month later, they flipped on their own decision and included only the least cost tiger pathways. You can only laugh because logic🚀

Back from a field visit where I finally managed to photograph a chocolate albatross after years of seeing it, and well ignoring it. An incredibly common butterfly in the sub-mountainous regions of India. Their large scale mud puddling in riverbeds is a sight to behold. #butterfliesofindia

237 journalists killed since this began. More than any conflict/war. It’s a war crime to target and kill journalists. But then again everyone is Hamas because the Israeli government said so. Interesting timing too, just before the entire Gaza city occupation. International law is truly dead.

It’s so disheartening to see absolutely zero talk about book ban in Kashmir. All the pompous book club and bookstagram people have turned a blind eye. Ironically, the political ideology that is so against censorship somehow does the most censoring.

So “israel has a right to defend itself”, “free all the hostages” ultimately led to land grab and ethnic cleansing. Some will still continue to defend this. Shame on everyone who aided and abetted this.

Should’ve added this on #Internationaltigerday. Essentially the discovery of Ajanta caves was due to a tiger. One of the greatest collection of human art was discovered because a hunter followed pug marks. From the book The Golden Road: How Ancient India Transformed The World by William Dalrymple

China mail (published in Hong Kong), August 18th, 1950. Since everyone loves comparing what Nehru did back then. And yes, he was talking politics. Photo ops didn’t exist back then but politics did.

There’s only one language in the world for which people have martyred. 8 people gave their lives on 21st February 1952 in Dhaka for their right to speak Bengali. UNESCO would later go on to recognise the day as #Internationalmotherlanguageday. Be rest assured, Bengali never bowed down nor ever will.

The 2011 census showed Bangla is the second most spoken Indian language. Yet, if you’re a Bengali-speaking Muslim in a BJP-ruled state, you may end up in Bangladesh before you even realise what happened. In this week's Chronology Samajhiye, Anant Gupta explains why. youtube.com/shorts/tBEib...

Why is Syria being attacked all of a sudden? Yes the postponement of the trial is the main reason but what’s the pretext of directly hitting an official govt building out of the blue? Even the Assad regime has been toppled and a more favourable ally in the former IS fighter has been installed too.
