Himanshu Kumar, of the now destroyed Vanvasi Chetna Ashram in Dantewada Chhatisgarh, is caught on camera talking about his true ideas. It has been reported that having worked for 17 years in the tribal best of Dantewada, the security forces swooped down upon his ashram and razed it to the ground in 2009. In 2010 he was forced to flee from Chhatisgarh as the pressure to arrest him mounted
He has often been called a maoist sympathizer. This video exposes where his true sympathies lie.

Adivasi tribal peoples is all about engineering them into pitiful camps. The poorest of the poor being exploited in the name of progress and corruption.
Three Months On, India's Single-Use Plastic Ban A Dud By Tanvi Deshpande| 2 Oct, 2022
Banned plastic including straws, cutlery found in circulation in Mumbai and Delhi. Experts call the ban weak and ask that big players, that produce more plastic, and more plastic items be brought under the ban's ambit
Of the total plastic generated, the share of the now-banned single-use plastic--at, as we said, 2-3%--is minuscule. Thus, even if the ban had worked well, the impact on plastic waste generation would be negligible.
In 2020-21, India generated nearly 3.5 million tonnes of plastic, as per details provided by 35 states and Union territories. Maharashtra forms 13% of this, followed by Tamil Nadu (12%) and Punjab (12%). Meanwhile, India's recycling capacity, at 1.56 million tonnes per annum, is only half of the total plastic generated. Brands are expected to recycle around 800,000 tonnes per annum as part of their Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).
India Wants Manufacturers To Manage Plastic Waste. Here’s How Proposed Rules Fall Short By Bhasker Tripathi| 5 Oct, 2020 https://www.indiaspend.com/india-wants-manufacturers-to-manage-plastic-waste-heres-how-proposed-rules-fall-short/ The draft rules offer three options to producers: pay a fee into a central corpus that would be spent towards managing the waste; buy credits from a system that would be established to offset the plastic waste they generate; or participate in and pay for establishing producer responsibility organisations (PROs) to collect and manage post-consumer plastic waste...
Industry experts who have studied the draft say the rules do not hold producers responsible, rather offer them ways to evade responsibility. By failing to put curbs on overproduction, the draft fails to emphasise waste minimisation and also provides no clarity on how these models will work.
One of the biggest reasons for India's plastic crisis is that the country's plastic industry uses different tactics to distract, delay, dilute and derail progressive legislations on plastic control that are unfavourable to them, according to an addendum to the September 2020 global report, Talking Trash: The Corporate Playbook of False Solutions to the Plastic Crisis. https://talking-trash.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/TalkingTrash_FullReport.pdf

No asbestos mine functional in India but trade, manufacture and use of asbestos yet to be stopped Saturday, October 1, 2022 http://www.asbestosfreeindia.org/2022/10/no-asbestos-mine-functional-in-india.html In answer to Sangamlal Gupta and P.P. Chaudhary on “Ban on Asbestos Mines”, Pralhad Joshi, minister of coal and mines said " no asbestos mine functional in India because of the harmful effect of asbestos" . Yet, 25 per cent of the entire asbestos produced globally comes to India because India is yet to ban trade, manufacture and use of all kinds of asbestos .
India imported asbestos to the tune of 3,61,164 tonnes in 2019-20. It was 3,64,105 tonnes in the previous year.
According to World Health Organisation (WHO), 250, 000 are dying annually because of asbestos related diseases.
