She, whose beauty is immediate and everlasting, began her earthly sojourn to cleanse and liberate the souls of the sons of King Sagar, following the hard penance of Prince Bhagirath, as stated in the Bhagavat Puran.

Nature suckers’ grand development projects always reignite the age-old conflict of interest between common natives and invading capitalists – Shifting Baseline Syndrome is everywhere now!

Now more smart mines, land grab and infra stuff are being approved by governments, hyping competitive-growth models. Entire forest areas, rural villages, waterways, mountains, natural ecosystems, etc are vanishing rapidly. NCERT / CBSE / ICSE Syllabus Suggestion: Why these mining profiteers cum rapists, cloned looters of climate and indigenous local tribes, their habitats and resources are awarded and roaming scot-free since decades?
