Hopes of environmental conservation drift by as were immaterial, as India, on top of its underlying bodies deciding to chop forests in Mumbai and Andhra, prepares for its annual pollution parade of immersing huge plaster idols in water bodies, and the religious and the devout parade their excuses too, and that's just those who at least care enough to pretend to care about the environment, while the rest don't even give a shit. The excuses range from "everyone's doing it" to "we're doing it in artificial ponds", as if that water's gonna magically disappear 😂, to "so many have begun using eco-friendly idols", as if the eco friendly ones account for more than 5% of the total quantity of dumping, with the average plaster idols ranging between 15 - 20 feet, the biggest ones well over 50 feet each, whilst the eco-friendly ones average below 5. And many mud idols sport decorations and paints that are poisonous to marine life. This festival is just a bare faced, medieval joke on environmental conservation efforts in the country and just a reflection of the inflated ego of the far right ideology, as they, every year, rally this festival as if it were a show of strength. It is really pitiful and brutish because the idols need not be as tall or as flamboyant, if the purpose of this festival really is remotely spiritual or devotional, where an idol that's a foot tall would do. Such a pity that a generation that is vastly more educated than its previous ones is running into such superstitious traditions, so blindly. ~A.J. . #saveaareyforest #saveaarey #ganeshchaturthi #ganeshchathurthi #ganeshchaturthi2019 #ganeshnimarjan #ganeshnimarjanam #ganeshimmersion #ganeshimmersion2019 #ganeshimmersionisenvironmentaldisaster #stopganeshimmersion #plasterofparisidols #ecofriendlyidols #ecofriendlyganesha #nomininginnallamala #notouraniummining #saynotouraniummining #saynotouraniummininginnallamala #saveamrabadtigerreserve #savetigers #writersofhyderabad #writersofindia #poetsofindia #poetsofhyderabad #poetsofinstagram #poetrycommunity #poemsgram #TID #theinkeddreams #hymnofhues (at Dhoolpet) https://www.instagram.com/p/B18wbKHlexD/?igshid=1246hwbty68ew

With their #savetigers campaign accords and drives, this decision outs the government of India under a pretty bad light for having decided to go ahead with the uranium exploration in the tiger reserve of Amrabad. The "Political Joint Action Committee Against Nallamala Uranium" has been set up to voice public and spread awareness about it. This project, should it go ahead, would be undertaken in an extent of 83 square km (about 20,510 acres) in four blocks, located in the Amrabad and Nidugal reserve forest. What is more, a large part of these blocks fall in the core habitat of the #AmrabadTigerReserve, one of the largest #tigerreserves in the country.  It would bring irrevocable damage to the delicate ecosystem that exists in these woods, on top of what poachers have bitten off. A large mine for #UraniumMining already operates from spitting distance of this proposed site, at #Kadapa. This only goes on to declare the callousness , the duplicity, and the disregard, not to mention the total lack of respect, for #wildlife in the country. @narendramodi if you/your team would be considerate enough to stop this slaughter before it begins, it would be a commendable effort. Please #savethetigers I implore everyone who reads this to use the hashtags #saveamrabadtigerreserve #saynotouraniummininginnallamala #saynotouraniummining be heard.
