Скачать или смотреть Aravalli Hills Controversy Explained | India’s Oldest Mountain Range Under Threat

The Aravalli Range is one of the oldest mountain systems in the world and a crucial ecological shield for northern India. Stretching across Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana, and Delhi, the Aravalli Hills act as a natural barrier against desertification, protect groundwater, and support rich biodiversity.

In this podcast episode, we explain the latest Aravalli Hills controversy, following a recent Supreme Court order that introduced a new legal definition of what qualifies as Aravalli land. According to the ruling, only landforms rising 100 meters above surrounding terrain are officially considered part of the Aravalli range.

This decision has triggered widespread concern among environmentalists, scientists, and tribal communities, who fear that reduced protection could lead to increased mining, deforestation, groundwater depletion, and expansion of the Thar Desert.

Meanwhile, the government insists that environmental safeguards remain intact and that the new definition brings legal clarity rather than relaxation.

🎙️ In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why the Aravalli Hills are called India’s Great Green Wall

What the Supreme Court’s new definition really means

Why activists are protesting under the #SaveAravalli movement

How this issue impacts water security, climate, and agriculture

The political debate surrounding Aravalli protection
