This a great post about a small village called Kankhal about 3 and half kilometers or so from the larger small town of Haridwar in the hinterlands of India. Rajiv draws attention to the way how nature still remains in small villages like Kankhal. Your reaction to the Hindu mantra you discuss is amazing seeing as you describe yourself as not particularly religious. But I like the description of the wild god of the Hindu faith and that there are more Hindu pilgrims or Hindu people who celebrate their faith in trips to famous temples and earlier religious relics that have resonance for modern day Hindu believers. Also, your reminder that India is getting hotter and that more nature is being destroyed in the rush to build infrastructure in economically resurgent areas is very timely to prove that concern over global warming and how to curb it is very necessary. It is so difficult to retain and preserve what is important in the old India coupled with the perhaps somewhat transient benefits of new India huge economic and societal infrastructure growth in various areas.
Hi. I am not religious. Some call me “spiritual” in a certain way. But I am not religious. I feel freer this way. India is getting hotter. The problem is the generation factor
I was sitting with my dad and his army colleagues. They told me that they'd wear sweaters until Holi.
I remember we'd take our woolies out, right after Diwali. Now, I wear a Tshirt right through December. My resistance to cold weather is high but I used to wear a light sweater in December - never a T Shirt.
For the younger generation, this is the new normal.
This generation factor is the frightening aspect of climate change
