West should know more than Greta from these Indian examples


The west and educated elite from the world especially the Indian intellectuals
should know and feel proud of these female tree/environment protectors.
They are not as educated or as rich as Greta living in Internet age with Climate crisis.

1. 363 Bishnoi who sacrificed life in protecting trees being cut by a local ruler in Rajasthan
in 1730AD led by Bishnoi women Amrita Devi and her three daughters who got killed by hugging trees being cut.

 Inspired by their example, other Bishnoi (from a total of 84 different villages) continuously took their place until, in an event that would come to be known as the Khejarli Massacre, 363 Bishnoi had sacrificed their lives in defense of their trees.”
