Why no outrage from so-called #Deshbhakt media over inhumane and insulting deportation of Indians from US?

By Vidya Bhushan Rawat

Why is there no outrage from the so-called #Deshbhakt media over the inhumane and insulting deportation of Indians by the Trump Administration? Countries like #Colombia, #Venezuela, and #Mexico have boldly raised the issue and arranged civilian planes to bring their citizens back honorably. However, so far, Indian leadership has remained clueless or is busy weaving a new narrative about scoring a 'diplomatic' victory or how Trump invited Modi to the US. Can Trump really be trusted? We are likely to witness organized chaos over the next four years. Now, he aims to control #Gaza, demanding that people there either relocate or face elimination.

It is strange that our media and political leadership have remained silent on why people are being deported in such an inhumane manner. The number of affected individuals could be much larger. There is also the danger that the Americans might demand reimbursement for the expenses incurred. The Trump administration can be both mischievous and intimidating. India needs to stand firm and not be swayed by Trump's acceptance or rejection.

The only country that has consistently stood by India is Russia. India would do well to carefully consider its stance before agreeing to anything Donald Trump proposes. Trump is desperate to maintain American hegemony in a world where U.S. supremacy is increasingly challenged. India must stand on its own and protest if its citizens are humiliated.

Let us see how the mainstream media reacts to this. Perhaps it won’t be on their agenda today, as they will be preoccupied with Modi ji's Ganga Snan at Prayagraj and campaigning for the BJP in the Delhi elections. Let’s see when they wake up and what they have to say.

No one expects a better deportation than this for people who crept into a country totally illegally. Is this not only ridiculing the citizens and legal migrants living in that country but also to the people who are struggling to go by all the formalities for securing legal visas to that country.

How community leaders overcome obstacles to protect forests and pastures in remote villages

By Bharat Dogra Dheera Ram Kapaya grew up in such poverty that, unable to attend school himself, he would carry another boy’s heavy school bag for five kilometers just to get a scoop of daliya (porridge).

His hidden talent for writing emerged during this time, and he became known for the songs and street play scripts he created to promote forest conservation, discourage child marriages, and support other social reforms.

The GMO illusion: Three decades of hype, harm, and false hope

Sandra Gonzalez Sanabria: An inspiring life from Colombia’s Amazonian valley

By Vidya Bhushan Rawat* In the village of Héctor Ramírez, known as Agua Bonita, in La Montañita, Caquetá, Colombia, a vision of peace and renewal is unfolding. In the pre-2016 period, this would have been nearly impossible for outsiders to visit, as it was the epicenter of violent resistance against state oppression. However, after the Peace Accord was signed between the Colombian government and former revolutionaries—marking the end of a 70-year insurgency that claimed over 400,000 lives until 2025, including civilians, rebel fighters, and security personnel—things began to change. Visiting Agua Bonita during the Global Land Forum in Bogotá revealed a village of hope and resilience. Former FARC revolutionaries have settled here and transformed the village into a center of peace and aspiration.
