Heavy rain and fear of fresh landslides means our driver Kaman Bhai suggests sleeping in the car tonight- as we inch forwards towards Rasuwa, the border with China. What was normally a 1.30 journey before the flood has already been 14 hours . I think of the families whom trekked down this path , in rain, driving on a motor cycle, or sharing rides, as they search for the bodies of their loved ones - many of whom have been carried downstream by the force of the flood. Ground zero for Mojo Story

#Nepal - at ground zero there is anger - Nepal does NOT want your sympathy, it wants Justice. Nepal did not create the CLIMATE CRISIS. But it is paying a devastating price for it. As I report from Dhunge Bazaar in Nuwakot district, I can barely keep my balance in a landscape buried under wet mud, rock and sludge after the devastating NEPAL FLOODS. Nepal contributes just 0.1% of global greenhouse gas emissions, yet its communities are facing the brutal consequences of a warming and increasingly volatile climate. Nearly 46% of Nepal is covered by forests, while more than 70% of four-wheelers imported in 2025–26 were ELECTRIC VEHICLES. So why is a country that contributed so little to the climate crisis being forced to pay such a devastating price? Watch our full coverage -

Rasika Dugal, outspoken as ever, says she would have said no to a movie like Animal because her biggest fear is that one day she will accept a project that will inadvertently promote misogyny. With Mirzapur and Delhi Crime, this has been Rasika’s moment in many ways. It was wonderful to have Rasika with us. She shared that the politics of every project she chooses is of utmost importance to her, not just as an afterthought, but as the very foundation of her decisions. Here's an actor who is deeply mindful of the ideas, values, and narratives she puts into her work, in an industry where choices are often driven by commercial viability, convenience, glamour, or pressure. More power to you and your tribe, Rasika Dugal . Cheering for you all always. WeTheWomen

Incontrovertible evidence of how Twisha Sharma was abused and maligned by her husband and his mother emerges on tape. Imagine a mother in law who asks her daughter in law about her sexual history, former partners, accusing her of promiscuity- and comparing her to a prostitute, while, her son, calls his wife a R##ndi . Who made this lady a judge ? I was truly chilled to the bone when I heard this audiotape - where Twisha Sharma’s brother, a serving major in the army confronts his sister's mother in law and takes her on for the constant harassment of Twisha. On April 22nd days before she was tragically found dead in the judge’s home, the family secretly recorded what may now stand as one of the most chilling windows into the cruelty Twisha endured inside her marital home. In the audio, accessed exclusively by Mojo Story, Former Judge, Giribala Singh can be heard brazenly defending her son against the complaint that he called cTwisha a “r*ndi” . She can be heard aggressively saying that it’s her right to know whether her daughter in law has had multiple partners in the past. And then- that oldest trope in the world- she questions her morality, accuses her of promiscuity and invokes parallels with prostitutes ( used in this context as an abuse by her) , language so vile, so dehumanising, it is hard to listen to without outrage.

"Do I look like a terrorist to you"- the son of a daily wage labourer at Jantar Mantar tells me he came here because he doesnt have a job nor sees hope of one. "If we dont get work, is our only option to die?"- The CJP protests started with NEET but have captured a larger anxiety over jobs among the young. To ignore that is to not understand the zeitgeist.
