Seeman leads cattle grazing protest in Theni
Theni: Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK) chief coordinator Seeman led a protest in the foothills of Western Ghats near Bodi in Theni district on Sunday, demanding restoration of traditional grazing rights for pastoral communities. The protest followed an incident where a pastoralist was allegedly pushed down by forest officials when he attempted to graze cattle inside forest areas, triggering outrage among livestock herders and pastoral farmers. Seeman and hundreds of party cadres, farmers, and cattle herders brought nearly 500 native breed cattle, mostly Theni Malamadu, in a symbolic procession, at Munthal near the Kurangani hill pathway. The group walked about 2km along Kurangani road, attempting to lead the cattle up the foothills for grazing. Forest officials blocked them saying they didn't have permission to protest, and entry into protected forest areas was not permitted. This led to a heated exchange between Seeman and the forest officials. Despite the objection, Seeman and the cadres proceeded with the cattle towards the hills, but came down later saying he wanted to symbolically show that he broke the forest rights act. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like TV providers are furious: this gadget gives you access to all channels Techno Mag Learn More Undo "You've suddenly developed concern for wild animals, but where do you expect our cattle to graze," he said. Seeman told reporters that the number of cattle was already low due to less space for grazing. He called for reviving entry tokens allowing a fixed number of cattle to graze inside forest areas and return within a stipulated time. "This is our way of life. If you continue to block grazing access without a viable solution, we will launch more protests," he said. He demanded legal recognition of grazing rights, and criticised the animal husbandry department for failing to protect traditional livelihoods. Concluding the event, Seeman announced a 'tree conference' on Aug 17, on the theme, 'Let's speak to trees, let's speak for trees." Forest officials have filed a case against Seeman and five others under relevant provisions of Forest Act and Wildlife Protection Act for violating forest regulations. The charges include unauthorised entry into protected forest areas and disturbing wildlife habitats. Officials said they are also identifying 50 other participants to book them.

Banswara MP accuses BJP of disrupting rally in Jhalawar
1 2 Jaipur: Banswara MP Rajkumar Roat Sunday accused the BJP of orchestrating a disruption during a Bhil community rally in Jhalawar which turned chaotic after a faction protested his presence. The rally, held in Khandia area Sunday, was organised as a pre-event to mark World Tribal Day, officially observed on Aug 9. Roat in a post on X said that BJP and ABVP leaders arrived at the venue carrying saffron flags and launched a targeted provocation. "They didn't come to participate; they came to create chaos. BJP and ABVP leaders, wielding saffron flags, attacked us while we were raising our voices for justice for the students who died in the Jhalawar school tragedy," Roat alleged. He further stated, "BJP leaders do not want to give justice to the students who lost their lives, but they are ready to resort to hooliganism dressed in saffron against those who demand accountability." The disturbance began when a group of Bhil leaders, objecting to Roat's political messaging, approached the stage and raised slogans demanding that he stop promoting the BAP (Bharat Adivasi Party) ideology at the community event. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Are The Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo Both groups clashed with each other, following which the police swung into action and resorted to a lathicharge to disperse the crowd. In response, Roat attempted to calm the crowd, saying, "Let's sit down and talk." However, the protesters refused to engage, prompting police intervention to remove them from the immediate vicinity of the stage. The situation quickly escalated when police mistakenly tried to detain Arvind, a supporter of the protest group. As officers attempted to escort him away, his associates intervened, pulling him back and engaging in a brief scuffle with the police. The confrontation intensified when members of the crowd began pelting stones at the police, forcing authorities to use mild force to disperse the protesters and restore order. Roat later blamed BJP for instigating the protest. "Those behind this disruption are connected to the BJP organisation," he said, accusing the opposition party of exploiting internal divisions within the tribal community for political gain. He also said Rajasthan govt's recently announced Rs 10 lakh compensation for tribal families was a symbolic gesture lacking real commitment.

‘Far from dead': Economy that Trump buried ‘outpaces' US
1 2 Ludhiana: Indian business leaders have pushed back firmly against US President Donald Trump's recent remarks describing the Indian and Russian economies as "dead", calling the claim baseless and out of step with the country's economic trajectory. The resilient economy politely declines to attend its own funeral, and the critic must answer: "If we're dead, who's eating all the global market share?" Industrialists from Ludhiana, one of the country's leading manufacturing hubs, said on Sunday that while US tariff hikes may temporarily affect some sectors, the Indian economy remains vibrant, resilient, and driven by robust domestic demand. "India can never be a dead economy — our population and internal demand alone ensure that," said Ashpreet Singh Sahni, managing director of Sehaj Solutions and former chairman of the Confederation of Indian Industry's Ludhiana chapter. "Yes, tariffs may slow us down for a year or two, but we'll bounce back stronger." Sahni, who was in the US when the new tariff regime was announced, said American manufacturers were also feeling the pinch. "There's nervousness on both sides. US companies look actively for alternatives to China, and India is high on their list. I believe the US will have to reconsider these tariffs, eventually." Upkar Singh Ahuja, president of the Chamber of Industrial and Commercial Undertakings (CICU), echoed the sentiment, arguing that India's global reputation was rising. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ask A Pro: "I'm 70 with $1.4M in IRAs. Should I convert $120K/Year to a Roth?" SmartAsset Undo "During my visit to Europe, I saw firsthand the interest in Indian goods. Yes, IT and pharma may face short-term pressure, but they're already exploring new, tariff-friendly markets." Ahuja warned that Washington's protectionist stance could have unintended consequences. "Such tariffs are inflationary. They may backfire on the US economy itself. In the long term, it's not sustainable." Pankaj Sharma, president of the Association of Trade and Industrial Undertakings (ATIU), said India should seize the moment. "This is a time to turn adversity into opportunity. The tariffs aren't India-specific — they affect many countries. Our govt should ramp up support for manufacturing and help Indian firms enter new global markets." He called for stronger policy support, including incentives to help exporters tap into emerging economies and underserved regions. "The Indian economy is not just surviving — it's adapting. And that's the hallmark of a living, breathing market." The remarks come as global economic tensions continue to rise, with supply chains still reeling from pandemic aftershocks and shifting geopolitical alignments. Indian industry, local leaders say, is determined not to be left behind. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Friendship Day wishes , messages and quotes !
