I went to Rishikesh to learn yoga. I found my grandmother instead.

Sitting by the Ganges at dawn, I recognised something from a terrace in Granada.

#Ginsberg stands on the stone steps above the #Ganges (in #Varanasi), watching the funeral pyres burn one after another. The air is thick with woodsmoke, sparks drifting upward like fireflies blown by the river wind. He notices how close the mourners stand to the flames, how practical and unceremonial the workers are as they tend the fires, adding logs, turning the bodies. He’s struck by the mingled smell—sweet, oily, acrid—and how it settles on his skin.

He keeps staring at the shape of a body half-revealed through the fire, the curved spine visible, the skull blackening. The workers prod at the pyre with long bamboo poles, coaxing it to burn evenly. A foot slips out of the woodpile and curls as it chars, and he’s transfixed by how familiar and ordinary the body looks even as it’s turning to smoke.

The river moves past, carrying little bits of ash. A dog noses the ground behind him. Someone beside him murmurs a prayer; someone else just watches silently. He realizes the families accept this transformation as simply part of the world, without horror—death turning to light, to heat, to dust.

Ginsberg feels a mixture of wonder and unease, but also a kind of calm. He senses that in this place the boundary between life and death isn’t hidden—it's utterly public, happening all day in the open air. He feels the moment press on him: the fragility of the body, the mundane precision of the fire, and the surreal beauty of the smoke rising over the river.

The Ganges River is drying at an unprecedented rate, new study finds https://phys.org/news/2025-09-ganges-river-drying-unprecedented.html

#Ganges #river #environment #drought

Der #Ganges trocknet laut einer neuen Studie so stark aus wie seit 1.300 Jahren nicht mehr.

Die Flussmenge ist heute um 76 Prozent geringer als beim schlimmsten historischen #Dürreereignis im 16. Jahrhundert. Hauptursache ist menschliches Handeln, darunter ein geschwächter Sommer-#Monsun durch Erwärmung des Indischen Ozeans und #Luftverschmutzung.

Forschende fordern neue Strategien für das #Wassermanagement, um die Versorgung von Millionen Menschen zu sichern.

https://phys.org/news/2025-09-ganges-river-drying-unprecedented.html

Doch noch was: Im Einzugsgebiet des #Ganges/#Brahmaputra leben übrigens 362 Millionen Menschen in insgesamt fast 1200 Städten mit jeweils mindestens 50.000 Einwohnern. 🤯

Beide Zahlen sind mehr als doppelt so groß wie bei der Nr. 2 (dem #Jangtse) und sogar jeweils dreimal so groß wie bei Nr. 3 und 4 (#Indus und #Nil) 🤯🤯🤯

#Cities25

When I went to #India in February, I managed to do a sunrise boat ride on the #Ganges before touring around #Varanasi and then going to #Sarnath. This page details my day and has my #photos from this exciting adventure on my #travel around this wonderful country.

Alors sympa la voie verte (ici entre Sumène, dans le Gard, et Ganges, dans l'Hérault), dans les Gorges de Rieutord. Mais attention, les malins n'ont pas mis d'indication pour rejoindre (et inversement), la voie verte qui relie Ganges et Saint-Hippolyte-du-Fort (puis Sauve et Quissac). C'est dommage, juste quelques panneaux auraient suffi.

Ten Years and Nearly Rs 40,000 Crore Later, The Ganga Still Runs Dirty, Its Water Undrinkable

Though the union government has pumped in almost Rs 40,000 crore into the flagship Namami Gange programme since 2014, several concerns – including dysfunctional sewage treatment plants and bad governance – abound.

Anti-Pollution Norms & State Policies Cripple UP’s Leather Industry, Pushing Muslim Livelihoods To The Brink

With de facto and de jure marginalisation of Uttar Pradesh’s Muslims after 2014, when chief minister Yogi Adityanath of the BJP came to power, one result has been the industrial decline of predominantly Muslim-owned and employed businesses across the state. One such important business hub is the leather industry, concentrated in the city of Kanpur and nearby Unnao. In the second of a two-part series, Article14 analyses the socio-economic consequences of anti-cow slaughter laws and discriminatory policies against the leather industry in India’s most populous state.
