Yesterday PM Modi laid the foundation stone for India’s largest deep water port: the Vadhavan Port Project, but the ceremony was not held in Vadhavan, where the port is actually proposed. It was held in Palghar, around 30 km away from Vadhavan.
Why you may ask?
Stay with me 🧵
Yesterday Local Fishermen, Adivasi Communities and Farmers led massive demonstrations against the proposed project which is poised to destroy their livelihoods and destroy sensitive ecology of the area.
Fishermen were leading the protest with a boat rally in the sea
Women were at the forefront of this demonstration. They waived blag flags, ask PM Modi to cancel the ceremony and consider their demands to protect Vadhavan coastal area and local ecology.
The area is home to around 5-6 Thousand fishermen families. Women are employed in the fishing related jobs. The coastal area has around 3 thousand boats. These areas are thriving because of vibrant fishing communities and farmers.
I’ll repeat it again, you need to have 0 knowledge of Law, Policy, Social Sciences or even basic journalism to be the editor in today’s Indian media, you just need two things: Network and the ability to sell yourself to the power.
The reason you see so many powerful female voices from the protests in Coastal area in Maharashtra is because the nature based livelihood has given them the autonomy, has given them power to be self sufficient. These women are the powerhouses of these protests.
Anticipating the massive demonstration across Vadhavan, the government decided to absurdly carry out the foundation ceremony in Palghar. While the Vadhavan area was reverberating with the chants of ‘Modi Go Back!’ And ‘ एकच जिद्द वाढवण बंदर रद्द’, the government hastily carried
Out the ceremony. The protest is not just for livelihoods, the protest is also for the rights of indigenous Koli and Adivasi community of the area to access the sea. The project will also pose threat to local ecology and environment.
People have also sensed the danger of Climate change and extreme climate events arising out of it. The western coast of India has seen unusual numbers of cyclones in recent years. The rainfall pattern has changed as well. The coastal communities end up bearing the brunt of it.
Mainstream media’s role has to be questioned here as well. There was no proper coverage of the protest on the television news channels. Every news channel was just propagating the same state narrative of employment and revenue, without mentioning the demands of the locals.
Protestors are massively disappointed in the opposition. Few protestors I spoke to, told me that none of the mainstream opposition parties showed up yesterday, despite the political nature of the foundation ceremony in light of upcoming state elections.
While the mainstream media gave all day coverage to PM Modi’s speech where he apologised for the collapse of Shivaji Maharaj’s Statue in Malvan, it had no mention of the massive protests just a few kilometers away.
हिंडनबर्ग चा नवीन खुलासा: प्रमुख मुद्दे मराठीत
#HindenbergReport
हिंडनबर्गने सादर केलेल्या अदानी समूहावरील रिपोर्टच्या १८ महिन्यानंतरही सेबीने अदानीच्या कथित मॉरिशस आणि ऑफशोअर शेल एंटिटीजच्या अज्ञात जाळ्याविषयी आश्चर्यकारकरित्या तपास करण्यात कुठलाही रस घेतलेला नाही.

याच कारण म्हणजे सेबीच्या अध्यक्ष माधबी पुरी बुच आणि त्यांचे पती धवल बुच यांनी अदानी समूहाशी संबंध असलेल्या ऑफशोअर फंडांमध्ये गुंतवणूक केल्याचा खळबळजनक खुलासा या रिपोर्ट मधून करण्यात आला आहे.
(2)
हिंडेनबर्गने कागदपत्रांद्वारे दाखवून दिलं आहे के की माधबी पुरी बुच आणि त्यांचे पती धवल बुच यांनी IPE प्लस फंड 1 जो मॉरिशसमधील नोंदणीकृत फंड आहे तसेच ग्लोबल डायनॅमिक अपॉर्च्युनिटीज फंड या बर्म्युडा-आधारित फंडामध्ये गुंतवणूक केली होती.

विनोद अदानी नियंत्रित कंपनीने ‘ग्लोबल डायनॅमिक अपॉर्च्युनिटीज फंडात’ गुंतवणूक केली, या फंडाद्वारे नंतर ‘IPE प्लस फंड 1’ मध्ये गुंतवणूक केली गेली. IPE प्लस फंड 1 या फंडांचे संस्थापक आणि मुख्य गुंतवणूक अधिकारी अनिल आहुजा होते ज्यांनी अदानी एंटरप्रायझेसचे संचालक म्हणून काम केले होते
तसेच विनोद अदानी हे गौतम अदानी यांचे मोठे भाऊ आहेत.
माधबी बुच आणि त्यांचे पती धवल बुच यांनी प्रथम 5 जून 2015 रोजी सिंगापूरमध्ये IPE प्लस फंड 1 मध्ये त्यांचे खाते उघडल्याचे दिसते. हिंडेनबर्गला ही माहिती एका व्हिसलब्लोअरद्वारे
दिल्या गेलेल्या कागदपत्रांमुळे मिळाली आहे असं त्यांच्या अहवालात लिहिलं गेले आहे.
या कागदपत्रांमध्ये IPE Plus Fund 1 च्या निधी घोषणा विधानाही समावेश आहे. आयआयएफएलच्या प्रमुखाने स्वाक्षरी केलेल्या निधीच्या घोषणेमध्ये असे नमूद केले आहे की गुंतवणुकीचा स्रोत "पगार" आहे आणि जोडप्याची
हिंडेनबर्गने मिळवलेला आणखी एक दस्तऐवज म्हणजे माधबीचे पती धवल बुच यांनी, माधबी सेबीमध्ये पूर्णवेळ सदस्य म्हणून कार्यभार स्वीकारण्याच्या काही आठवड्यांपूर्वी, 22 मार्च 2017 रोजी मॉरिशस फंड प्रशासक ट्रायडंट ट्रस्टला केलेला कथित ईमेल.
हिंडेनबर्गने आपल्या अहवालात धवल बुच ब्लॅकस्टोनचे सल्लागार असण्याच्या काळात सेबीने पास केलेल्या REIT संबंधित कायद्याचा उल्लेख केला आहे ज्याद्वारे ब्लॅकस्टोनसाठी फायदा सुनिश्चित करण्यात आला.
Nitin Gadkari has been single handedly responsible for massive environmental destruction in the country. If he was in any other decent democracy, he would be called a Climate Criminal.
He has ravaged the Himalayas with brainless and disastrous highway projects.

हा ईमेल त्यांच्या आणि पत्नीच्या ग्लोबल डायनॅमिक अपॉर्च्युनिटीज फंड (“GDOF”) मध्ये केलेल्या गुंतवणुकीसंबंधी होता. त्या ईमेलमध्ये, धवलने ग्लोबल डायनॅमिक अपॉर्च्युनिटीज फंडातील त्यांच्या होल्डिंग्सचे "खाते चालविण्यास अधिकृत एकमेव व्यक्ती आपल्याला बनवले जावे" अशी विनंती केली.
ब्लॅकस्टोन-समर्थित माइंडस्पेस आणि नेक्सस सिलेक्ट ट्रस्ट, देशातील दुसऱ्या आणि चौथ्या क्रमांकाचे सर्वात मोठे REIT, यांना अनुक्रमे ऑगस्ट 2020 आणि मे 2023 मध्ये माधाबी बुच सदस्य असलेल्या सेबिद्वारे सार्वजनिक होण्यासाठी हिरवा कंदील देण्यात आला.
अहवालात असा दावाही करण्यात आला आहे की 2019 मध्ये बुचच्या पतीला कुठल्याही संबंधित अनुभवाशिवाय ब्लॅकस्टोन या जागतिक खाजगी इक्विटी फर्मचे सल्लागार म्हणून नियुक्त करण्यात आले. ही फर्म रिअल इस्टेट इन्व्हेस्टमेंट ट्रस्ट किंवा REITs मधील भारतातील सर्वात मोठ्या गुंतवणूकदारांपैकी एक आहे.
या अहवालात अजून एका इमेलचा उल्लेख आहे. 25 फेब्रुवारी 2018 रोजी, SEBI चे पूर्ण-वेळ सदस्य असताना माधाबी बुच यांनी खाजगी Gmail खाते वापरून, आपल्या पतीच्या नावाने व्यवसाय करत, ऑफशोअर फंडातील युनिट्सचा वापर करण्यासाठी इंडिया इन्फोलाइनला मेल केला.

महाराष्ट्र सरकारने ११ जुलैला पावसाळी अधिवेशनात एक नवीन विधेयक मांडलं. ते विधेयक म्हणजे ‘महाराष्ट्र विशेष जनसुरक्षा अधिनियम २०२४’.
या विधेयकाच जर कायदा म्हणून रुपांतर झालं तर तो कायदा महाराष्ट्र राज्याच्या आत्तापर्यंतच्या इतिहासातातील कदाचित सर्वात भयंकर कायदा ठरेल ! (१)

राज ठाकरे एक बालिश राजकारणी आहेत. शहरी मध्यमवर्गीय तरुणांना ते आवडतात कारण शहरी मध्यमवर्गीय तरुणाची सामाजिक जाणिव अतिशय कमी आणि ग्रामीण भारताशी नाळ तुटलेली असते. आरक्षण आर्थिक निकषांवर द्याव ही चघळून चोथा झालेली राजकीय लाइन ते अजूनही वापरतात त्यावरूनच त्यांची समज लक्षात येते.
These North Indian men from particular castes and class were an always a nuisance in India and now they have become a nuisance for the entire world.
Disgusting, potential rapist guy flaunting his rape desires openly on YouTube because he knows he’ll get views back in India.

What late stage capitalism is this, where ideas such as these are considered Radical?
No right winger anywhere in the world will promote this idea. This is essentially a pro-worker policy and guess which political ideology is pro worker?

& why mega project is "very profane"
Goes on to show that in India, you can be one of the biggest journalist in the country and still not know the basics of how privilege works and flows through generations.
Ma’am 1% of Indian Population is hoarding 70% of the wealth. Inheritance tax is long overdue
In the UK there’s been an intense debate on scrapping the tax and Sunak has been under pressure to abolish it to help the Tories. So it’s not a black and white issue. We can all have different views and debate this. You don’t need to mansplain

-Pro abortion
-Pro welfare state
-Pro vaccine
-Pro LGBTQ
-Pro trans people (but more tolerant of trans people than gays)
-pro interfaith marriage
- Anti-BJP

Absolutely. He is doing it on purpose because he knows he’ll get views back in India with his disgusting thumbnails.
He is a potential if not already a rapist.
A major landslide happens, and all the news channels can focus on is disaster management. I have not seen a single news channel cover how long time environmental degradation+ climate change induced compound extreme events culminate into disasters that are man-made and definitely

छत्तीसगढ़ के हसदेव जंगल में पेड़ों की कटाई का विरोध कर रहे आदिवासियों पर सरकार का क्रूर व्यवहार निंदनीय है। मोदी सरकार अदानी के फायदे के लिए पर्यावरण और आदिवासी समुदाय के अस्तित्व को खतरे में डाल रही हैं।

Ask these people if their sentiments were hurt when mining companies have ravaged Shirgao for last 3 decades.
The village has no groundwater, agriculture has been destroyed for last 2 decades. I don’t see these same people protect Devi Lairaee’s home village against the mining
And please don't give me excuses like "compulsions". When a small tribal council in Great Nicobar can write letters stating their demands & opposition to every damn authority from the local administration to Union ministers, what stops these people **who hold power** to speak up
@sankulyaa
Exactly. The same identify politics police was defending this guy till the beginning of this year.
There were clear signs of this guy turning into a RW stooge. But one can play idenitity politics and justify anything in India today

The disgusting part is that the Konkani culture in its essence allows for comedy.
These crooks haven’t seen Dashavtar, they haven’t read Konkani poetry.

I’ll always be a big admirer of the courage you showed while covering the Hathras case.

When you destroy the ecology, reclaim the sea, destroy mangroves and other forms of natural resistance to the impacts of cyclones, it does add up to the emissions and reduces the resilience of the areas and the communities.
Majority of the carbon is captured by the oceans :)
