there are also valid demands for payment for ecosystem services. The polluter pays principle is also fairly well established. It seems that people are putting the two together to arrive at ‘net-zero’ and 'no-net-loss'. People seem to be thinking 'payment for ecosystem services' + 'polluter pays' = ‘net-zero’ / 'no-net-loss'.

Maybe there is a need to demand for greater criminal convictions from those polluting in addition to making them pay to move away from the greenwashing mindset where it is possible to buy one's way out of pollution. A few years ago, however, the government seemed to be wanting to go the other way since they haven't been able to secure criminal convictions. And so seemed to be wanting to change these from criminal to civil offences <https://www.business-standard.com/article/economy-policy/rs-1-crore-penalty-for-polluters-117072900719_1.html>.

Engaging with Water and Rivers from a Multispecies Justice  Perspective Carlota Houart Wageningen University & Research https://bluepapers.nl/index.php/bp/article/view/59/53

Multispecies justice recasts the subject of jus-tice beyond (only) humans and invites us to re-think relations between human and non-human beings in the worlds we share and co-create.

examples of hydrosociality in the Mag-dalena River in Colombia and in the Great Lakes region of North America show us how human and non-human systems and communities are profoundly entangled, and how the future of healthy, living rivers may be closely related to the upholding and protecting of the lives and lifeways of these diverse beings and communi-ties.   Blue Papers 2023 (Vol. 2 No. 1), 50-5710.58981/bluepapers.2023.1.05

Gorai, Culvem women hold sit-in against lake ‘beautification’  https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/mumbai-news/women-in-mumbai-s-gorai-and-culvem-hold-sit-in-against-mla-s-beautification-works-at-culvem-lake-locals-protest-paving-over-natural-waterbody-101680635459951.html
 Prayag Arora-Desai The work will pave over large parts of the natural waterbody, which the locals currently use to irrigate small farms, wash clothes, catch fish, bathe livestock, and wash fishing nets among others...“Gorai and Culvem residents have not asked for any such beautification. We want the lake to remain as it is. It is our ancestral talao and is well taken care of by the local farmers, fishers and tribals. The Dharavi Beth Bachao Samiti has written multiple letters to the MLA, local police, the collector’s office and even the BMC asking for the work to be stopped. .. “The villagers want a gram sabha to be held in presence of the MLA, so he can explain why this project is being pursued. It will benefit nearby resort owners, not the locals. Till date, there is no clarity on who is funding the project and at whose request, but two excavators are working on the site day and night. Large amounts of mud have been dredged from the lakebed and it should be restored.”

Indian Hindus say "NO" to Hate in the name of Hinduism. ..

During Ram Navami on 30th March, we saw Hindus pelting stones at mosques, aggressively chanting violent anti-Muslim slogans and dancing with swords, all in the name of Hinduism.

On March 27th, Hindu men forcibly entered a Muslim man’s house in Moradabad, UP and, in the presence of police, forcibly stopped people from praying. Hindus forcibly entering houses where Christians peacefully pray as well as vandalizing churches is also quite common.

The forcible entry and vandalism of minority religion premises and the noisy display of Hindu 'celebrations' outside mosques goes against our intrinsic spirit of tolerance and Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.

as Hindus:

We strongly condemn the use of Rama’s name to propagate acts of violence, vandalism, bullying and harassment. No one should be forced to chant Jai Shri Ram unless they do so of their own free will.

We strongly condemn congregating in noisy and unruly groups carrying weapons and saffron flags outside places of worship of other religious minorities. This is done with only the intent of instigating other religious minorities, taunting and goading them to show dominance and aggression. It is not a form of worship that is representative of Hinduism.

We strongly condemn saffron clad men and women entering private places of worship and heckling, molesting, physically and verbally attacking those of other religions.

Georgia, California, Seattle—Any criticism of caste in America is being fought as Hinduphobia https://theprint.in/opinion/georgia-california-seattle-any-criticism-of-caste-in-america-is-being-fought-as-hinduphobia/1497591/  RAJU RAJAGOPAL 5 April, 2023 US needs SB 403 because Indians carry caste to America and Dalit discrimination at IITs, IIMs is proof. SB 403: SEC. 7: Section 12920 of the Government Code is amended to read: It is hereby declared as the public policy of this state that it is necessary to protect and safeguard the right and opportunity of all persons to seek, obtain, and hold employment without discrimination or abridgment on account of race, caste, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, sexual orientation, reproductive health decision making, or military and veteran status.

Cries of “Hinduphobia” have reached a feverish pitch after Senator Aisha Wahab, a first-term California State Senator of Afghan origin, introduced SB 403 on 22 March. She has been viciously trolled, has received violent threats, and her office virtually invaded by belligerent constituents who oppose the bill.

March 2, 2023 India’s economy slowed further in the December quarter, figures released this week showed, as postpandemic pent up demand ebbed and the country’s manufacturing sector continued to weaken. Asia’s third largest economy recorded year-over-year growth of 4.4% last quarter, down from 6.3% in the September quarter.

The International Monetary Fund still projects India will be the fastest-growing major economy in 2023—largely on the back of resilient domestic demand. This may turn out to be optimistic if private consumption doesn’t pick up the pace again soon.

Nomura economists Sonal Varma and Aurodeep Nandi think markets are still significantly underappreciating the risks to India’s growth. They say the country’s growth cycle has peaked, and a combination of weaker global growth and tight domestic and global financial conditions could spell further trouble for exports, investment and discretionary consumption.

Did India’s Per Capita Income Really Double Since 2014-15? And Is It a Reliable Indicator of Growth? https://thewire.in/economy/india-per-capita-income-gdp-growth 'Per capita income is only an indicator of an average. But the average hides the disbursal. And India has extreme inequality. So, it's not a good indicator of what's happening at the bottom 60-70% of the population,' economist Arun Kumar said.

On the doubling of per capita income, economist Jayati Ghosh told PTI, “You are looking at GDP in current prices, but if you account for inflation, the increase is much less.” She added, “Most of this increase has accrued to the top 10% of the population. By contrast, median wages are falling, and possibly even lower in real terms.” And this distribution, she said, is critical. Moreover, the NSO data doesn’t show how the wealth was distributed over these years.
