EYE IN THE SKY: The effect of deforestation in the Tarai is clearly visible along the India-Nepal border in this photograph taken from a Delhi-Kathmandu flight recently. The straight line marks the border between the Valmiki Forest Reserve in India's Bihar state and forests that have been cleared recently to make way for farmlands on the Nepal side.

1. Gyan
This is the first and most vivid proof about how fast our Terai forests are being destroyed by the politicians. Future generations will remember these chors who stole their land and trees and left nothing for the children and grandchildren of Nepal. They should all rot in hell.
