निवडणुकांचा एक तरी जाहीरनामा वातावरण बदलांच्या #ClimateCrisis संकटाबद्दल बोलेल का? या बदलांचे ग्रामीण महाराष्ट्रावर काय परिणाम होतायत ते नक्की वाचा #MaharashtraElections2019 #MaharashtraAssemblyPolls @ameytirodkar @bbcnewsmarathi @Dev_Fadnavis

कोल्हापूरच्या राधानगरीत वन्यजीव-मानव संघर्ष वाढत चाललाय, जंगलातले गवे शेतांमध्ये यायला लागलेत. जंगलतोड #deforestation दुष्काळ, #drought पीकपद्धतीतले बदल आणि लहरी हवामानाचा हा परिणाम आहे bit.ly/2MkHxO7

काही वर्षं चांगल्या पावसाची आणि मग अवर्षण व दुष्काळ. सोलापूर जिल्ह्याचं निसर्गाचं पुरातन चक्रच बदलत चाललंय. याला निसर्ग जसा कारणीभूत आहे तसंच मानवी कृतीही – बदललेली पीक पद्धती, सिंचनाच्या अपुऱ्या सोयी आणि भूजलाचा बेमाप उपसा.bit.ly/2Mq6XKl

लातूर जिल्ह्यात गेल्या दहा वर्षांपासून उन्हाळ्यात होणाऱ्या तुफान गारपिटीने लोकांना कोड्यात टाकलंय. परिणामी, काही शेतकरी आता फळबागा सोडून द्यायला लागलेत. bit.ly/2Mnju0R @parthpunter

@Oxfam

In 2017, there were 363 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births in Assam’s tea estates, over twice as many compared to the national average.

This @Oxfam report reveals the plight of Assam tea plantation workers. Women get the worst end of the stick.👇🧵

ruralindiaonline.org/en/library/res…

In the 160 years since the British established tea production, Assam has become the largest tea-producing state in India, the largest tea-producing region in the world and the world’s fourth largest tea exporter.

Still, for every kilogram of packaged Assam tea sold, less than 5% of the cut goes to the workers.

850 million Indians consume tea daily. But who produces it?

Bhagat Singh’s ideology is not meant to be hijacked. He has written with remarkable intellectual clarity. Read what he stood for in his essay — Why I Am an Atheist.

Do not let anyone cloud your mind and reasoning. Snippets in the 🧶 below, link at the very end

This 5,790-word essay was first published in People, a periodical brought out from Lahore, in September 1931.

In it, Bhagat Singh, a revolutionary freedom fighter, a socialist in his beliefs, a powerful writer, and a prolific journalist, begins by asserting that his atheism is the result of rational inquiry as opposed to vanity or pride.

It takes months of hard work to find water in Sivagangai, Tamil Nadu. It is an assault on the senses — the heat, the smoke, the juddering engine. The well-diggers – 5 men and 3 women – hew mud and rock, and heave it up in 40°C #WorldWaterDay2022 🧶

@AparnaKarthi

Sivagangai is a part of Chettinad, famous for its cuisine and architecture. Here, water has always been a problem. Given its location in Tamil Nadu’s ‘rain shadow’ region, rainfall is often patchy and has been distressingly meagre in the last couple of years

A city cab driver, who operated taxis in Mumbai and bulldozers abroad for decades, is now devastated by illness. He and his family are struggling with hospital visits and expenses, moving between fear and hope

ruralindiaonline.org/en/articles/dr…

Abdul Rahman’s world has shrunk – professionally, personally, physically. And quite literally. A migrant worker who once travelled across 4 continents, he is now confined to the 150 sq.feet room he lives in with five family members.

He's driven bulldozers and cars in Saudi Arabia, worked in Dubai, Britain, Canada, Indonesia, Malaysia, parts of Africa. Today he's to be physically carried in a chair, down a narrow lane in a Mahim slum colony, to a taxi that can take him to Sion hospital – over and over again

@AparnaKarthi

The stories by @AparnaKarthi have warmth and empathy. It is why they are so humane, surprising, and affecting. It is also why one can dive into them blindly and be glad that one did.

Here's a short list of some fantastic rural reporting from her 🧵
