A simple change... Misleading interpretations.
Notice how most headlines lately have been replacing capture, translocation with rescue?!

As India plans for more zoos, what are we celebrating?What stories are we telling ourselves about other animals here – as educators, rescuers, and hosts - in these enclosures, where mutual well-being and healing are emotions you'd never experience??

African baboon dies, the third animal in a few weeks in Delhi zoo. In 2023, for a story on the appalling state of zoos in India, I found this particular Delhi zoo had the worst history! How this place is still legally functioning and receiving over 27 lakh people annually is just shocking!

Botanist Kimmerer unseats the makings of a capitalistic world with the possibilities of the gift economy. Busting the illusion of self-sufficiency, Kimmerer insists all flourishing is mutual and investing in mutual well-being should be the future.

Gifts of an economy that forever perpetuate growth, accumulation and competition. Three words rendered purposeless, unproductive and profitless in the face of climate reality.

An anthology of magic realism & the supernatural conjuring up "non-homogeneous" futures. Each short story is unanimously grounded in a strong anti-caste dialect. It's immersive... open up to it.

#bookreview: 1. A critical literary, cultural analysis & it's relevance to the ongoing genocide in Palestine; 2. Historical racial discrimination & denial of the Romani people & their ongoing struggle for basic rights. Both less than 100 pages, critical reads.

Actual forests have depleted. We continue to add plantations on this list & call it a success. But when wild animals are found in this part of green cover, we capture them, tagging them as straying animals. So, these patches are (displacing locals) & for forest dept's monocropping???

Who are the invisible women who also sustain India? How do religious riots, free markets, gentrification & patriarchy impact them? What can unionisation & women's movements lead to? Dixit's singular focus remains unfiltered. More in my brief review eletellnow.wordpress.com/long-forms/

Yea, right!
Wonderful who is laying out the contours forcefully, eh?
Western media never ceases to amaze!

This week's read: Both these books are fantastic!
If you enjoy science/speculative fiction with detective/ legislative bend & great narratives - these titles are it.
