India has nevertheless likely contaminated thousands of acres of marginal and arable land with "fly ash," a heavy particulate from coal.

So, Japan's Minister of Defense is Gen Nakatani. NOT "General" Nakatani as this article states wrongly states several times.
More amazingly, somehow this author is based in #Japan and written books on Japan-#India security relations, but can't even get the name of a key, longtime cabine…

At this moment, who do you believe most likely to use a nuclear weapon in their current conflict?
I put India and Pakistan together because one would likely trigger the other and because I only had four slots.
Feel free to share your reasoning in a reply.

Oil and plastic pollution from shipwreck raises concerns, legal scrutiny in India
As shiny, pearl-like white plastic pellets rode wave after wave and piled up on the beaches of Thiruvananthapuram in India’s southern state of Kerala, local residents were first bemused, then baffled. Some, more enterprising than others, began collecting them in sacks with help from the local police — a first step in heading off what […]

India’s solar potential estimated at 10.8 TW
A new study by the Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) has estimated India’s total solar potential at 10,830 GW, significantly higher than the previous 2014 assessment of 748 GW by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). The study revisits conventional solar deployment areas such as barren and unculturable lands and explores additional avenues to expand the country’s solar potential.

Jagmeet Singh deserved a lot better than he got from Canada considering what he endured.
"Singh told reporters in April that police had advised him in the winter of 2023 that his life could be in danger. They did not tell him who was behind the threat but he said the implication was that it was a foreign government.
He said he stayed in his basement, avoided windows and considered quitting politics over fears about his family’s safety. He decided to carry on but was forced to lead the NDP for a period under police protection.”
I hope Carney brings this up with Modi next week, but now with the tragedy of the air crash…

Today, the full-moon day of the fourth month ("aashaada") of the #Hindu luni-solar calendar, is "guru poornimaa" in #India and elsewhere.
In #Sanskrit, "guru" is teacher; "poornimaa" is full moon (literally "state of fullness"). The day honors teachers. So, as they say, "shree gurubhyoh namah", or "salutation to the teacher". 🙏
#Trivia: This year's "guru poornimaa" falls on Thursday ("guru waasara"), the weekly day of teachers. There's more to the weekday name "guru waasara", but that's for a rainy day. 🌈
