Why India witnessed extreme weather in 88% of days in the last nine months

By Shankar Sharma* 
More and more reports about multiple evidences on the fast escalating consequences of global warming/ climate change are appearing in the global media. A recent report from CSE on India, as in the link below, should be of huge concern to our authorities. If 88% of the days in 9 months have witnessed extreme weather, it should be a matter of great concern for our people. The associated concerns can only escalate massively if the present trend of our authorities to persist with BAU scenario continues.
Few associated news articles/reports, as in the news links below, should be of huge relevance to our authorities, if they really care for the welfare of our people, and if they are also wise enough to learn from the experiences from around the world.
Let us hope that the PM's sermons about the true relevance of roof top solar PV systems, solar villages, solar pump sets, additional revenue to our farmers, VISHWA GURU etc will not be just a part of rhetoric slogans.

Tibetan activist’s self-immolation sparks fresh concerns over cultural rights

By Kumar Krishnan*  The question of Tibet has once again entered international discourse, raising difficult questions about human rights, religious freedom, cultural identity, language, and the relationship between political power and the rights of indigenous communities. On 20 August 2026, the Kashag and the Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile jointly organised a solidarity prayer service and peace march to mark the 49th day since the death of Lobga Rangzen, a Tibetan activist who died after self-immolating on 2 July in front of the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
