"Winning what’s been called the ‘Green Nobel’ an Indian environmental activist has been recognized for saving a 657 square-mile forest from 21 coal mines.

From the New Delhi train station to high-end hotels to the poorest communities, virtually no one in India is free from periodic blackouts. As part of the Modi regime’s push for a developed and economically dominant India, power generation of every sort is being installed in huge quantities.

GNN has reported this drive has included some of the world’s largest solar energy projects, but it also involves coal. India is one of the largest consumers of coal for electricity generation, and Hasdeo Aranya forests, known as the “Lungs of Chhattisgarh,” are known to harbor large deposits.

The state government had been investigating 21 proposed coal mining blocks across 445,000 acres of biodiverse forests that provide crucial natural resources to the area’s 15,000 indigenous Adivasi people.

Along with the Adivasi, tigers, elephants, sloth bears, leopards, and wolves, along with dozens of endemic bird and reptile species call this forest home. It’s one of India’s largest intact arboreal habitats, but 5.6 billion metric tons of mineable coal threatened to destroy it all.

Enter Alok Shukla, founder of the Save Hasdeo Aranya Resistance Committee, which began a decade ago advocating for the protection of Hasdeo through a variety of media and protest campaigns, including sit-ins, tree-hugging campaigns, advocating for couples to write #savehasdeo on their wedding invitations, and publishing a variety of other social media content.

Shukla also took his message directly to the legislature, reminding them through news media coverage of their obligations to India’s constitution which enshrines protection for tribal people and the environments they require to continue their traditional livelihoods.

Beginning with a proposal to create a single protected area called Lemru elephant reserve within Hasdeo that would protect elephant migration corridors and cancel three of the 21 mining proposals, Shukla and the Adivasi began a 160-mile protest march down a national highway towards the Chhattisgarh state capital of Raipur.

They hadn’t even crossed the halfway mark when news reached them that not only was the elephant reserve idea unanimously agreed upon, but every existing coal mining proposal had been rejected by the state legislature, and all existing licenses would be canceled.

“We had no expectations, but the legislative assembly voted unanimously that all of the coal mines of Hasdeo should be canceled, and the forest should be saved,” Shukla says in recollection to the Goldman Prize media channel.

“That was a very important moment and happy moment for all of us.”

Shukla shares the 2024 Goldman Environmental Prize with 5 other winners, from Brazil, the US, South Africa, Australia, and Spain."

To counter what they view as a rising tide of prejudice, the HAF and other Hindu American groups have turned to American Jewish organizations, which they have long seen as “the gold standard in terms of political activism,” as Maryland State Delegate Kumar Barve said in 2003. Since the early 2000s, Indian Americans have modeled their congressional activism on that of the American Jewish Committee (AJC) and AIPAC; Indian lobbyists have partnered with these groups to achieve shared defense goals, including arms deals between India and Israel and a landmark nuclear agreement between India and the US. Along the way, these Jewish groups have trained a generation of Hindu lobbyists and advocates, offering strategies at joint summits and providing a steady stream of informal advice. “We shared with them the Jewish approach to political activism,” Ann Schaffer, an AJC leader, told the Forward in 2002. “We want to give them the tools to further their political agenda.” Shukla told Jewish Currents that the HAF continues to work closely with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the AJC, whether by “being co-amici curiae on briefs to the US Supreme Court,” or by “lending our support to one another’s letters to Congress.”

[...] Faced with rising scrutiny over India’s worsening human rights record, Hindu groups have used “the same playbook and even sometimes the same terms” as Israel-advocacy groups, “copy-pasted from the Zionist context,” said Nikhil Mandalaparthy of the anti-Hindutva group Hindus for Human Rights (HfHR). Hindu groups have especially taken note of their Jewish counterparts’ recent efforts to codify a definition of antisemitism—the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition—that places much criticism of Israel out-of-bounds, asserting that claims like “the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor” constitute examples of anti-Jewish bigotry.

[...] In 2003, Gary Ackerman—a Jewish former congressman who was awarded India’s third-highest civilian honor for helping to found the Congressional Caucus on India—told a gathering of AJC and AIPAC representatives and their Indian counterparts that “Israel [is] surrounded by 120 million Muslims,” while “India has 120 million [within].” Tom Lantos, another Jewish member of the caucus, likewise enjoined the two communities to collaborate: “We are drawn together by mindless, vicious, fanatic, Islamic terrorism.”

Driven by that sense of shared purpose, the AJC and AIPAC helped train new Indian American political groups—such as the Indian American Political Action Committee and the United States India Political Action Committee—to achieve their aims in Washington. The AJC hosted seminars on political activism in DC and New York; it also brought several delegations of Indian Americans to Israel to meet with members of the Israeli government and military. “We’re fighting the same extremist enemy,” the AJC’s capital region director Charles Brooks told the Forward in 2002.

This is an excerpt from an article on how the wealthy helped Hitler, like the wealthy are helping Trump, to power. The rich thought they could 'control' Hitler. (Like the American Republicans thought Trump would fall in-line after 2016 and be more normal.)

But Germany ended up being bombed to rubble because the rich were stupid and only saw short-term gain.

You can't make deals with the devil because deals require honor. The devil has no honor. Honor is a good thing! (It's odd how people still depend on the presence of decency to help *themselves*, even when they're willing to ignore decency towards others. So many in Trump's cabinet found out the hard way, evil has NO honor or integrity no matter how hard they served that evil.)

A link to the entire article is below this excerpt:

The conservative elite were the old ruling class (i.e. rich) and new business class in Weimar Germany. Throughout the 1920s they became increasingly frustrated with the Weimar Republic’s continuing economic and political instability, their lack of real power and the rise of communism. They believed that a return to authoritarian rule was the only stable future for Germany which would protect their power and money.

The first move towards this desired authoritarian rule was Hindenburg’s increasing use of Article 48 .

(Note by me: Article 48 in Germany then was a declaration of an emergency with powers granted to the leader to allow rule as a dictator. )

Between 1925-1931 Article 48 was used a total of 16 times. In 1931 alone this rose to 42 uses, in comparison to only 35 Reichstag laws being passed in the same year. In 1932, Article 48 was used 58 times.

The conservative elite’s second move towards authoritarian rule was helping the Nazi Party to gain power.  The conservative elite and the Nazi Party had a common enemy – the political left .

As Hitler controlled the masses support for the political right, the conservative elite believed that they could use Hitler and his popular support to ‘democratically’ take power. Once in power, Hitler could destroy the political left.  Destroying the political left would help to remove the majority of political opponents to the ring-wing conservative elite.

Once Hitler had removed the left-wing socialist opposition and destroyed the Weimar Republic, the conservative elite thought they would be able to replace Hitler, and appoint a leader of their choice.

--------------------------------------

Sound familiar? They want to get rid of us pesky liberals. Then they'd dump or 'control' Hitler.

Of course, that didn't happen. Hitler was now too popular. As most know, Hitler built up armies and then systematically invaded Europe murdering Jews in those countries too.

There is no doubt that Trump, like Hitler, or any Republican would resist the power of using the American army simply because it is bigger than ten other countries combined in military spending.

First the US would bomb, then invade, Mexico on the pretense of stopping fentanyl and immigration. But why stop there? The people have no morals. Land is worth money! MAGAs would love to see the United States cover ALL of North America.

How long until NATO kicks us out, and then they, or China or Russia, start fighting back? It would start World War III.

Could American citizens stop it?

No! We'll be too busy hiding our immigrant, trans and lgbtq friends and family from Trump's police state and pretending we're no longer liberal.

China is a dictatorship. Russia is a dictatorship. India is essentially a dictatorship. Dozens of smaller countries, Venezuela, Turkey, Iran....

Why on earth does anyone think it "can't happen here?" Their citizens are just as smart (and as dumb) as our citizens. The US Constitution is just a piece of paper if one party and enough judges decide to ignore it as they now routinely do!

Trump, as president, openly and blatantly broke a very specific clause, the emoluments clause and profited from his position as president which is bad for many obvious reasons. But, Congress never said a word!

We think DOCUMENTS protect us. But, Trump taught us, it's only the people who are willing to RESPECT those documents and words. The entire Republican party (half of Congress) and the majority of the Supreme Court have decided they don't give a DAMN what is written or implied by our constitution.

The recent SC ruling that presidents have immunity for "official acts" was the knife through the heart of respect for our US Constitution.

Other countries have tyrants because they have resources ripe for plunder by those tyrants. So they took power. The USA has even more resources. Religious fanatics also want power back like they had before 1776. It's a potentially deadly mix of greed and mindless religious zealotry.

Vote blue... no matter what. Or we end up with the United States bombed to rubble and perhaps radioactive after nuclear bombs are used. It could happen. We all thought a president would never DARE to openly assault Congress.

We are not in a "normal" America anymore!

Voting for Biden seems like an easy and small thing to do compared with suffering for decades through the dozens of nightmare scenarios that will come out of having a Nazi-like dictator running the United States.

Here's the original article....

Holy shit I need everyone to listen to the first half of this 15-minute podcast and the absolutely depraved, horrific things that Republican convention-goers say into a microphone with a smile on their face.

RAMEY: You know, I believe in some aid to other countries, but, you know, we need to support our allies. Ukraine is not really our ally. So - Israel's our ally and always has been. And when you turn your back on Israel, you're turning your back on God. So that's just the way I was always brought up. Israel's God's chosen people. The Jews are God's chosen people. And, you know, they need to be taken care of. They didn't ask to be assaulted. They didn't ask for people to come in and steal their women and children out of their homes. So I know, in West Virginia, if that would have happened, it would have been a war. So - right there in my own backyard. You're not stealing somebody's child or their sister or their brother or their grandma and torturing people without getting some repercussions. So I just believe people need to love each other more and more, you know? They need to read the Bible or whatever faith you belong to and figure out that, you know, we're all in this world together, struggling every day, trying to make it. Be kind to people, you know? Give the kindness, and the kindness will come back to you. I believe Donald Trump loves our country. I believe he - I know he loves our veterans. I know he loves our military. I think he loves me, you know? To be honest, I think he truly cares about the American people. Joe and Kamala - I get no warm, fuzzy feelings at all from those two.

or

KHAN: Well, coming from India, culturally, I'm pro-life. India has 1.4 billion people. And secondly, you know, I support - see, our foundational values are - in America are freedom and liberty and free market enterprise structure - capitalistic structure. It's not the perfect model, but it's an optimal model. I didn't come here for socialism or communism. And out of - you know, I don't want to disrespect any gender thing, but I did not come here to support the LGBTQ rights, to be very honest. Culturally, we don't do that. So my values resonate more with the Republican Party, which happen to be our foundational values as well.

or

DONNA VAN AUSDALL: Aloha. I'm Donna Van Ausdall. I am a kupuna, which is senior in Hawaii. I'm 71 years old. Well, I've been involved with the Hawaii Republican Party since I became a Republican back in 2016. I'm just so thrilled to be here. To see President Trump in person is a huge honor. KHALID: You said that you've been involved with the Republican Party since you became a Republican in 2016. So were you not always a Republican? VAN AUSDALL: No. I was a hard-core Democrat. And JFK was my childhood hero, like many of my generation, right? But my husband and I are devout traditional Catholics, so we made a heartfelt choice to become conservatives because of the abortion issue, you know? President Biden is a Catholic, and I'm very disappointed at his pro-abortion stance, you know? So - and I love the conservativeness of Republicans. You know, we want our country to continue to have its constitutional freedoms with the Second Amendment rights. You know, a lot of states are enacting gun laws that I think are too stringent.

I know some of y'all have beef with Democrats but if we don't organize and turn out the vote in November the government will be run by and for these hateful people

The Role of Yoga and Ayurveda in Diabetes Management

Healing from Within: The Role of Yoga and Ayurveda in Diabetes Management

Step into a world where ancient wisdom meets modern science as we explore the profound impact of yoga and Ayurveda on diabetes management. In an era of escalating stress and sedentary lifestyles, the holistic approach of these ancient practices offers a beacon of hope in the management of diabetes. Through targeted postures, breathwork, and meditation, yoga unfolds its therapeutic benefits, promoting insulin sensitivity and reducing blood sugar levels. Meanwhile, Ayurveda, with its personalized approach, delves into herbal remedies, dietary modifications, and lifestyle recommendations to restore the body's balance and vitality. As we delve into the nexus of these time-honored practices and the contemporary understanding of diabetes, discover how their integration can empower individuals to embark on a transformative journey towards holistic well-being. Join us as we unravel the compelling synergy between ancient traditions and modern diabetes management, offering a roadmap for self-healing from within.

Understanding Diabetes and its Management

Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by high levels of glucose in the blood. It can result from inadequate insulin production, ineffective use of insulin, or both. The management of diabetes involves controlling blood sugar levels to prevent complications. Conventional treatments often include medication, insulin injections, and dietary modifications. However, the holistic approach of yoga and Ayurveda offers complementary avenues for managing diabetes. By understanding the underlying causes and impacts of diabetes, individuals can make informed choices about incorporating these ancient practices into their lifestyle.

Yoga and Ayurveda offer a holistic perspective on diabetes, considering the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. Rather than simply treating the symptoms, they address the root causes of imbalance, aiming to restore harmony and well-being. As we delve deeper into the specific practices and principles of yoga and Ayurveda, we will uncover their profound potential in transforming the lives of those grappling with diabetes.

Yoga Practices for Diabetes Management

Yoga, an ancient practice originating in India, encompasses a diverse range of techniques designed to promote physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. When tailored for diabetes management, yoga practices can play a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels and enhancing overall health. Asanas, or yoga postures, are a fundamental aspect of yoga practice. Specific asanas, such as the Sun Salutation (Surya Namaskar), the Shoulder Stand (Sarvangasana), and the Seated Forward Bend (Paschimottanasana), have been found to be particularly beneficial for individuals with diabetes.

In addition to asanas, pranayama, or breath control techniques, are integral to yoga practice. Deep breathing exercises, such as Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) and Kapalbhati (skull shining breath), can help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce stress levels, both of which are essential for managing diabetes. Furthermore, meditation and relaxation techniques in yoga can alleviate the psychological and emotional stress associated with diabetes, promoting a sense of calm and balance.

Ayurvedic Approach to Diabetes

Ayurveda, often referred to as the "science of life," is an ancient system of medicine that originated in India over 5,000 years ago. Central to Ayurveda is the concept of individual constitution, or dosha, which influences one's physical, mental, and emotional characteristics. In the context of diabetes, Ayurveda emphasizes the balance of the three doshas – Vata, Pitta, and Kapha – to manage the condition effectively. Ayurvedic treatments for diabetes typically involve a combination of herbal remedies, dietary modifications, and lifestyle recommendations tailored to an individual's doshic constitution.

Herbs such as bitter melon (Momordica charantia), fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum), and turmeric (Curcuma longa) are commonly used in Ayurveda to regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity. Additionally, dietary guidelines in Ayurveda emphasize the consumption of whole foods, such as whole grains, legumes, and fresh vegetables, while minimizing the intake of processed and sugary foods. Lifestyle modifications, including stress-reducing practices, regular exercise, and adequate sleep, are also integral to the Ayurvedic approach to managing diabetes.

Benefits of Yoga and Ayurveda for Diabetes

The integration of yoga and Ayurveda into diabetes management offers a myriad of benefits beyond the regulation of blood sugar levels. These ancient practices promote overall well-being by addressing the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of health. Yoga and Ayurveda can enhance insulin sensitivity, promote weight management, reduce inflammation, and improve cardiovascular health – all of which are crucial considerations for individuals with diabetes.

Moreover, the holistic nature of yoga and Ayurveda fosters a sense of empowerment and self-awareness, allowing individuals to develop a deeper understanding of their bodies and the factors influencing their health. By incorporating these practices into their daily routine, individuals can cultivate resilience, balance, and vitality, ultimately enhancing their ability to manage diabetes effectively and lead a fulfilling life.

Incorporating Yoga and Ayurveda into Daily Routine

The integration of yoga and Ayurveda into daily routines can be a transformative endeavor for individuals seeking to manage diabetes holistically. Establishing a regular yoga practice, even if it involves just a few minutes of gentle stretching and breathing exercises each day, can yield significant benefits. Similarly, incorporating Ayurvedic dietary principles, such as mindful eating, balanced meals, and the inclusion of diabetes-friendly herbs and spices, can contribute to better blood sugar control and overall health.

Furthermore, the incorporation of mindfulness and stress-reducing techniques, such as meditation and relaxation exercises, can help individuals develop resilience in the face of the challenges posed by diabetes. By making these practices a part of their daily routine, individuals can experience a profound shift in their well-being, fostering a sense of empowerment and self-healing from within.

Dietary Recommendations in Ayurveda for Diabetes

Diet plays a pivotal role in the management of diabetes, and Ayurveda offers valuable insights into dietary recommendations tailored to individual constitutions. The emphasis on whole, unprocessed foods, as well as the inclusion of specific herbs and spices, can contribute to better blood sugar control and overall health. In Ayurveda, dietary guidelines for diabetes revolve around balancing the doshas, promoting digestion, and managing excess sugar in the body.

For individuals with diabetes, incorporating foods that are naturally low in glycemic index, such as leafy greens, bitter gourds, and whole grains, can help regulate blood sugar levels. Additionally, Ayurvedic principles advocate mindful eating, emphasizing the importance of savoring each meal, chewing food thoroughly, and being attuned to one's body's hunger and satiety cues. By aligning dietary choices with the principles of Ayurveda, individuals with diabetes can optimize their nutritional intake and support their overall well-being.

Case Studies and Success Stories

The profound impact of yoga and Ayurveda on diabetes management is exemplified by numerous case studies and success stories. Individuals who have integrated these ancient practices into their daily lives have reported improvements in blood sugar control, reduced dependence on medications, and an enhanced sense of well-being. From gentle yoga postures to personalized Ayurvedic regimens, these individuals have experienced a transformative shift in their relationship with diabetes, empowering them to take charge of their health and lead fulfilling lives.

These success stories serve as a testament to the potential of yoga and Ayurveda in diabetes management, inspiring others to explore these holistic avenues for well-being. By sharing these experiences, we can illuminate the path for individuals seeking alternative approaches to managing diabetes, offering them hope and guidance in their journey towards self-healing.

The Science Behind Yoga and Ayurveda for Diabetes

While the therapeutic benefits of yoga and Ayurveda for diabetes have been widely acknowledged, the scientific understanding of their mechanisms continues to evolve. Research studies have demonstrated the positive impact of yoga on insulin sensitivity, glucose metabolism, and stress reduction in individuals with diabetes. Similarly, clinical trials investigating the efficacy of Ayurvedic herbal formulations and dietary interventions have shown promising results in managing blood sugar levels and mitigating the complications associated with diabetes.

The convergence of modern scientific research and ancient wisdom provides a compelling foundation for the integration of yoga and Ayurveda into diabetes management. By bridging the gap between traditional practices and contemporary evidence, individuals and healthcare professionals can gain a deeper understanding of the multifaceted benefits of these holistic approaches, paving the way for their wider adoption in the management of diabetes.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the integration of yoga and Ayurveda offers a holistic and empowering approach to diabetes management. By incorporating targeted yoga practices, breathwork, meditation, herbal remedies, dietary modifications, and lifestyle recommendations, individuals with diabetes can embark on a transformative journey towards holistic well-being. The profound synergy between ancient traditions and modern diabetes management illuminates a path for self-healing from within, empowering individuals to cultivate resilience, balance, and vitality. As we continue to unravel the compelling nexus of yoga, Ayurveda, and diabetes management, we pave the way for a future where ancient wisdom and modern science converge to enhance the well-being of individuals worldwide.

Remembering Punjab Kesari: A Tribute to Lala Lajpat Rai on His 160th Birth Anniversary

Introduction

On this auspicious occasion, we offer our heartfelt tribute to Punjab Kesari, Sri Lala Lajpat Rai, on his 160th birth anniversary. A true patriot and visionary, Lala Lajpat Rai's contributions to India's struggle for independence continue to inspire generations. His unwavering commitment to the nation's freedom and economic self-reliance left an indelible mark on India's history.

Early Life and Education

Born on January 28, 1865, in Dhudike, Punjab, Lala Lajpat Rai showed signs of leadership and intellect from an early age. He pursued his education in law and began practicing at the Lahore High Court. However, his passion for social reform and national awakening soon led him to dedicate his life to the cause of India's independence.

Political Career and Activism

Lala Lajpat Rai's political journey was marked by his active involvement in various movements and organizations:

Member of the Indian National Congress

Co-founder of the Punjab National Bank (PNB)

Established the Servants of the People Society

Founder of the Indian Home Rule League of America

His fiery speeches and writings inspired millions of youths to join the freedom struggle. Rai's dedication to the cause earned him the title "Punjab Kesari" (Lion of Punjab).

The Simon Commission Protests

One of the most significant events in Lala Lajpat Rai's life was his leadership during the protests against the Simon Commission in 1928. The commission, appointed by the British government to review India's constitutional reforms, faced widespread opposition due to the absence of Indian representation.

On October 30, 1928, Lala Lajpat Rai led a peaceful protest in Lahore against the Simon Commission. During the demonstration, he was brutally lathi-charged by the police, sustaining severe injuries. He famously declared, "Every blow aimed at me is a nail in the coffin of British imperialism." Sadly, he succumbed to his injuries on November 17, 1928, becoming a martyr for India's independence.

Economic Vision and Punjab National Bank

Lala Lajpat Rai's vision extended beyond political independence. He recognized the importance of economic self-reliance for a truly free India. This foresight led to the founding of Punjab National Bank (PNB) in 1894, with the aim of promoting indigenous entrepreneurship and financial independence.

Today, PNB stands as the third-largest public sector bank in India, playing a crucial role in the nation's economic and financial growth. The bank's success is a testament to Lala Lajpat Rai's visionary approach to nation-building.

Legacy and Impact

Lala Lajpat Rai's legacy continues to inspire generations of Indians:

His writings, including "Young India" and "Unhappy India," remain influential

Several educational institutions bear his name, promoting his ideals

The Lala Lajpat Rai University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences in Hisar, Haryana, honors his memory

His statue stands tall in front of the Punjab Legislative Assembly in Chandigarh

Dr. Nowhera Shaik, MD & CEO of Heera Group of Companies, pays tribute to this great leader, stating, "Lala Lajpat Rai's sacrifice and vision continue to guide us in our pursuit of economic growth and national progress."

Conclusion

As we commemorate the 160th birth anniversary of Punjab Kesari, Sri Lala Lajpat Rai, we are reminded of the immense sacrifices made by our freedom fighters. His life serves as an inspiration for all Indians to work towards a self-reliant and prosperous nation. Let us honor his memory by upholding the values of patriotism, courage, and economic empowerment that he stood for.
