Over the past decade, Umeshwar Singh Amra has witnessed his homeland descend into a battleground. The war being waged in Hasdeo Arand, a rich and biodiverse Indian forest, has pitted indigenous people, ancient trees, elephants and sloths against the might of bulldozers, trucks and hydraulic jacks, fighting with a single purpose: the extraction of coal.
Its depressing that despite being expensive we are still building coalfield
Govt want to sell these ancient to capitalists. Does not care about tribals living there
A nation already drowning in carbon emissions wants to exacerbate pollution. What a madness! The trio of Trump-Modi-Bolsonaro poses an unprecedented and runaway threat to the global climate. climate ClimateChange

overpopulation
Cool
What a stupid article. You just converted the prejudices against the western right wing people and put it in Indian context. Everyone is indigenous here you morons. India was not taken over by the British or Spaniards the way USA Brazil Australia Canada etc were done.
Conservatives are a worldwide scourge, keeping humanity from our full potential.
drvandanashiva coal environment deforestation
WTF India?!
Why not our leaders go for solar energy? Why should we depend on thermal energy? Pollution will also be reduced.
Bad decision
When you don’t have sanitisation probably environment isn’t your first priority! Corruption and lobbying from western countries doesn’t help either! That will make things for India even worst!!
Well, they know they will be one of the first victims of climate change but still do this stuff. I guess they won't be able to in 10 to 20 years due to a mass population decrease. So, it will balance...
drvandanashiva India and Brazil on the same destructive path
Seriously Who the hell uses coal?
HOW much dirtier can their air get?! SMH
What was PM's promises again? To screw every aspects of India?!
Will we ever learn!!
Beyond evil
This is terrible but it's always ironic when people from a former colonial power condemn their former colonies for acting like colonials.
So terrible , the human don’t understand . So sad .
This makes a nonsense of all the decarbonisation in the west. China is similarly culpable.
If only there was some big hot thing in the sky radiating energy that India could use to become sulf sufficient.
this is the ugly picture of capitalism
Nooooo
Wheres that annoying wee lassie when you need her?! Great decision india.
Oh for gods sake. The Himalayan glaciers - a crucial source of water for India - are vanishing thanks to global warming and yet they still want to do this? How bloody stupid!
Oh global warming be damned then
There will be pollution. He is acting like power-hungry China. To cut pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, China has promised an 'energy revolution' aimed at dramatically reducing its reliance on coal.
Coming soon....fewer trees
I’m ashamed to be human....
Fucksake
Greta. Go get them ! 😂😂😂😀😀
Welcome to the 18 century
Meanwhile GretaThunberg will lobby countries that are already going the extra mile to become carbon neutral & spending exorbitant amounts on developing green technologies.
Overpopulation and overexploitation of resources can only end in a very ugly collapse.
A sickening and disgusting disregard for the global action that's needed from world leaders..
Catastrophe!
Noooo
So, are they importing coal currently? Where from, and where does that country get its coal from? Not forests? 🤔
Long term devastation for short term enrichment. Can,t Modi be stopped? There are 21st century alternatives.
Intelligent nations increasingly adopt renewable energy technology but Modi and his corrupt chums rip up ancient Indian forests to do coal. What a terrible joke. HasdeoArand ModiFailsIndia
What🙈😢
We will expire in a short time
This is a very bad sign. The entire world wants to drop fossile fuel energy. The environment should come first. India Europe WWF Greenpeace
Deadly diseases from wildlife thrive when nature is destroyed, study finds
GretaThunberg
Shocking news on so many levels. Excuse the pun but coal is a dirty mean a of fuel - especially the type India want to mine, use and export.
Send in Monbiat
Let india do what it wants lmao. Really easy criticizing them when your own nations did this in the past
So we send millions of aid to a so called 3rd World country so it can pollute the atmosphere like CHINA CHINA 'PAKISTAN PAKISTAN' RUSSIA RUSSIA 'USA USA, Madness utterly bollocks!
....scheisse....
Modi = Shiva
India under Modi is Germany under Hitler. Or Russia under Stalin. Take your pick.
Why NOT!
Another “hold my beer” of bad ideas...
Bloomberg and now Guardian? Come on guys, give India some credit, which developing country didn’t open up its resources? If you wanna do something about it get your fatass out of China and help India with its economy. I believe people with believes are better than Satanists.
Modi doesn't care for his indigenous population. Just like Bolsonaro doesn't for his and deforests the Amazon and like Trump does to his with the pipeline.
Holy crap!
Capitalism is killing the planet
Trees are the number one cause of forest fires.
Good for them.. Energy security is vital for a developing country..
Jesus
Greedy destructive fools
It seems India hates environment so much.
Excellent idea
