Relocated cheetahs adapting well in their new home
Ujjain: The newly-relocated cheetahs from Kuno National Park to Gandhi Sagar Sanctuary are adapting remarkably well to their new environment, turning the open grasslands into their hunting grounds. They have developed a preference for hunting nilgai, with successful captures occurring approximately every other day, report wildlife officials. Grazing freely in the sanctuary's expansive grasslands, nilgai appear to have become an easy target for the newly introduced predators, said forest officials. Mandsaur forest department and wildlife experts are monitoring cheetahs through advanced tracking collars and strategically placed camera traps. Mandsaur DFO Sanjay Raikhere said, "The sanctuary has a significant population of nilgai and including them in the cheetahs' primary prey list is a promising sign of their establishment within the ecosystem." The data collected indicates that the cheetahs typically engage in hunting during the early morning or late evening when the conditions are most favourable. In addition to nilgai, instances of hunting spotted deer and Indian gazelle were also recorded. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo After Kuno, Gandhi Sagar has become the second sanctuary, where cheetahs are exhibiting natural hunting behaviours.

India's self-proclaimed 'history hunter' is on a drive to salvage the past for future generations
AP Aditya Vij, an Indian anthropologist and an avid collector of artifacts Cameras from a bygone era. Rusty typewriters. Vintage radios. Matchboxes once used to light contraband cigarettes. In an age of new technology and artificial intelligence, a visit to the New Delhi home of Aditya Vij is like stepping into a time machine. Every corner of his museum feels like a carefully constructed history chapter. The anthropologist is an avid collector of artifacts and has dedicated his life to antiquities. Over decades, he has doggedly collected thousands of items that span several centuries and documented their relevance and the impact they have had on society. Each collectable he has salvaged feels like a victory against time, Vij says, underscoring his belief that maybe one individual's attempts can quietly resist their erasure from people's memory. "The deepest emotion I feel while collecting these items is the sense of satisfaction that I managed to save a piece of history," said Vij, during an interview surrounded by his priceless collection of vintage cameras and gramophones. The excitement of the hunt Fossils of fish, snails, tadpoles and fern leaves that date back millions of years are Vij's most ancient items. But he has a passion for another trove of objects that date back to around 1915: thousands upon thousands of matchboxes. His obsession began at the age of 8 when he discovered his first matchbox while wandering on the roads with his father. Today, the 51-year-old possesses more than 22,000 matchboxes. A few of them are over a century old and their cover labels showcase different forms of religious representations and political scenarios of the times they were produced. "It is not just the possession of these trinkets, but the process of hunting for them is what adds a layer of excitement for me," Vij said, adding that matchboxes symbolize different cultures at different times. 'Vigilance and quick action' He says the preservation of memory through these collectables pushes people to think about the craftsmanship of a time where life was slower and decisions were more deliberate. Some of his possessions were acquired by a chance. Many years ago, Vij says, he spotted a scrap dealer about to break an old radio with a hammer. He shouted from across the street and stopped the man. The scrap dealer, taken by surprise, explained how he would get good money out of the parts. Vij offered to buy it. Today, that radio sits amongst his existing collection of vintages. "Thirty more seconds and I would have lost it, and sometimes that's what it takes - vigilance and quick action," he said. Vij describes his journey that of a man "who links the past to the future" and aspires to create a museum out of his house that will act as a physical space where younger generations get to learn about innovations from the past. Otherwise, Vij says, these unassuming objects would be forever lost in the vast expanse of new technology. "What was once familiar has become rare, often forgotten, and has left behind only traces of nostalgia and memories," he said. 'Urgency to preserve history' Vij also gets requests from parents who want him to show their children how his collectables were put in use during the past. Some want their children to see how a typewriter works, or how pictures were clicked using a film camera. Others come to see how some household devices used to operate, like the rotary telephones, tube radios, pressing irons, ice cream makers, and lanterns. "When they (kids) tell me how they had no idea about the existence of these objects, that is when I feel a stronger urgency to preserve history," he said. Over the past few years, Vij says, technology has evolved rapidly and the gadgets from his childhood were made obsolete overnight. He believes archiving them is necessary. "I hope the younger generations realize the importance of history and carry it forward by preserving it," he said

UP's Village That Makes Women Blush – The Name Locals Whisper, Not Shout
Sultanpur: People proudly announce the name of their native village. Even if they settle in cities, their roots bring a sense of pride. But in one village in Uttar Pradesh, people, especially women, often hesitate to reveal where they come from. The reason? The name of their village triggers awkward laughter and embarrassment. This is the story of Baalampur, a village in the Bhadainya block of Sultanpur district. The name sounds unusual, even comical, to many. While outsiders might find it funny, the locals have grown used to the reactions – some even feel proud of their village's identity, despite the awkwardness attached to its name. Story Behind the Name Locals say the name has roots in a very old family tale. According to village elders, there were once three brothers – Puran, Balam and Mahesh. The places where they settled eventually became known as Puranpur, Baalampur and Maheshua. Named after brother Balam, Baalampur has held onto its identity ever since. Though the story is innocent, the name often draws chuckles from those hearing it for the first time. Some villagers admit that it used to bother them. Now, they have grown immune. However, it is not the same for everyone. Many women avoid saying the name of the village, especially after marriage, fearing embarrassment. Instead, they say they are from Pratapganj Bazaar, a nearby locality. Pride or Problem? Despite the embarrassment, many villagers do not want the name changed. They believe it is a part of their heritage. 'Our ancestors lived and died here. This name is their memory. Why should we erase it?' asked one elderly resident of the village. Some even wear the name with pride, arguing that the legacy behind the name matters more than how it sounds. Baalampur is located about 17 kilometers from Sultanpur headquarters, near Durgapur Bazaar. It lies within the Bhadainya Block. Though Baalampur is not the only village with an unusual name in India, it stands out for the reactions it evokes and the dignity with which its people carry it. Beyond the jokes and jibes, Baalampur is a typical Indian village – rooted in history, filled with stories and navigating modern identity with tradition. The laughter may not fade soon, but neither will the spirit of Baalampur.
