Indian Man Single-Handedly Plants Entire 1,360 Acre Forest!
Read his AMAZING story:
A little over 30 years ago, a teenager named Jadav “Molai” Payeng began burying seeds along a barren sandbar near his birthplace in northern India’s Assam region to grow a refuge for wildlife. Not long after, he decided to dedicate his life to this endeavor, so he moved to the site where he could work full-time creating a lush new forest ecosystem. Incredibly, the spot today hosts a sprawling 1,360 acre of jungle that Payeng planted single-handedly.
It all started way back in 1979 when floods washed a large number of snakes ashore on the sandbar. One day, after the waters had receded, Payeng , only 16 then, found the place dotted with the dead reptiles. That was the turning point of his life.
“The snakes died in the heat, without any tree cover. I sat down and wept over their lifeless forms. It was carnage. I alerted the forest department and asked them if they could grow trees there. They said nothing would grow there. Instead, they asked me to try growing bamboo. It was painful, but I did it. There was nobody to help me. Nobody was interested,” says Payeng, now 47.
While it’s taken years for Payeng’s remarkable dedication to planting to receive some well-deserved recognition internationally, it didn’t take long for wildlife in the region to benefit from the manufactured forest. Demonstrating a keen understanding of ecological balance, Payeng even transplanted ants to his burgeoning ecosystem to bolster its natural harmony. Soon the shadeless sandbar was transformed into a self-functioning environment where a menagerie of creatures could dwell. The forest, called the Molai woods, now serves as a safe haven for numerous birds, deers, rhinos, tigers, and elephants — species increasingly at risk from habitat loss elsewhere.
Despite the conspicuousness of Payeng’s project, Forestry officials in the region first learned of this new forest in 2008 — and since then they’ve come to recognize his efforts as truly remarkable, but perhaps not enough.
“We’re amazed at Payeng,” says Assistant Conservator of Forests, Gunin Saikia. “He has been at it for 30 years. Had he been in any other country, he would have been made a hero.”I just don’t get why we laud celebrities tirelessly for simply driving Priuses , when people like this exist worldwide and we barely hear about their efforts.
This is amazing.

I need to ramble about this:
Also known as the best writing program ever! It’s a full-screen writing program!
So you open it up, and it looks like this:
You’re thinking, “Ok, so what? It’s a screen with a picture. Whoopdie do.” But it get’s better! It’s customizable!
See that “appearance”? Click it.
You can also use custom fonts that you have installed!
See that “music”? Click it.
If you drag your own music into the folder, like so:
You get this!:
But wait! It gets better!
See “typing sounds”? You can change those too!
Perhaps the best is - YOU CAN USE ANY PICTURE FOR THE BACKGROUND. It will automatically fade it for you!
Seriously, guys, this tool is wonderful. You can use it for:
- Research papers
- Novel writing
- Play writing
- Short stories
- Homework assignments
- Ranting about your friends when they piss you off
- Writing your shopping list
It auto-saves. It exports to .rtf. Hotkeys from Word for italicize, underlining, and bold work. You can print RIGHT FROM THERE.
And the seriously best thing ever?
It fits on a flash drive. The entire thing with added music is maybe 131MBs.
The bestest thing ever.
It’s free.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is what you get when you stand up to a man who beats his young girlfriend in public. Not the black eye, not the broken nose, but the sense of being a fucking great human being.
I’m sorry but I don’t think this story is true.
I’d like to believe it’s true! Trust me! I’d love a nice feel good story to make me feel good about the human race, but sadly, there are way too many things wrong with this story.
- Either you were headbutted by a man with the smallest head in the world, or a Legoman. Your “black eye” should be swollen, your eyelids should be somewhat closed and your temple on the side of your head should be swollen too. A black eye is a serious thing, man. Your body doesn’t let that slide. I know people who’ve hit their eye and within an afternoon it’s ballooned up.
The purple around your eye is the most suspicious part. Blood vessels don’t really adhere to one singular colour. There are yellows, reds, violets, and finally, purples. Your black eye looks like a very bad make up job.- You claim that the police got DNA from the headbutt to your nose. I’m not well versed in the practise of forensics, and I bet not a lot of people on Tumblr are, but a few things immediately stand out from your story:
- Your nose (and in extension, your face) goes through a lot of contaminates every day. Your face is exposed to the elements. Now, say you did have DNA on your face, who’s to say that wouldn’t be rubbed off by the rain? Or the wind? Or when you take off your clothes? How much DNA can you REALLY swab from a headbutt? Don’t you wear make up? Wouldn’t that contaminate it?
- Why are the police getting a DNA sample if there was a witness right there? Surely a witness is enough to convict this guy? DNA samples are also really expensive, and take a lot of time! Why would they use on you when there are rape cases, murder cases, etc.
- If you got hit in the nose, and this is my main point, wouldn’t you touch where you’d been hit, and therefore rub the DNA away? I don’t know about you but if I got hit, I would touch where I got hit to protect it. It’s a natural instinct.
- Looking at your previous photos, the most jarring thing occurs.
The top photo is taken merely FIVE DAYS after your broken nose post. Now, I’m pretty sure you’re not Wolverine, and you can’t heal a broken nose within five days.
As you can see, I’ve placed the broken nose picture over a recent one, and there is honestly no difference in your nose.
For something so prominent, it looks exactly the same. Where are the bandages? Where are the plasters? You’ve apparently broken your nose! Where’s the medical attention?- I don’t like the look of your court letter.
Why is such a serious document scrunched up so much? That’s a legal document that you need to keep hold of in your records, why does it look like you’ve ran it through your pocket a hundred and fifty times?
There’s also no official seal, and no signature on the document, which means…
Anyone could’ve written this.
Fire up Microsoft Word, select Helvetica, and off we go…
I understand you live in Weston Super Mare, and I know it’s a rough area, but still…You’ve linked newspaper articles that are related to you.
But, why are the police appealing for witnesses? If they have his DNA, if the woman in question was right there, if you were right there, they have enough to convict him. That’s two witnesses and straight up DNA evidence, right?
Then again, the newspapers you’re in aren’t exactly the BBC. You can submit stories to them with little to no evidence.- After talking to my medical student friend, she has the following to say on your “injury”. Please bear in mind that she’s going to become a doctor one day and has far more training that you and I.
Me: Is that a real black eye?
Her: No, not at all! It would be swollen. Not as even in colour, they start out red. Her nose is def not broken, she’d probably have two black eyes if it was. Bruises start red because it’s blood pooling, then as the iron in the blood changes it turn bluish black, then green, then yellow and not all at the same time - you get varying stages of colour. She wouldn’t even be able to open her eyes if someone headbutted her and broke her nose.
So, there we go. Someone who will one day look after us all, and reads medical books has deemed this a fake injury, nice one.- But let’s move on from what is, or what isn’t and onto the post itself.
Look, I get it. You’re a feminist, you want to fight for woman’s rights, you want to take down us men because we rule the world or whatever, but your post reeks of “Women are weak, I just stood up for a woman! I’m a woman! I fight! Men shouldn’t hit women! I sacrificed my body to prove a point!”
Here’s a much better message you could send to the world:
“How about no one hits anyone?”
It’s all well and good saying women shouldn’t hit men, but if Tumblr has taught me anything it’s that gender is entirely fluid and therefore the bodies we find ourselves in may not be the ones that we wanted, and as a consequence, a woman hitting a man may actually be a woman identifying as a man hitting a man and now we’re onto a huge debate onto who is what in what body doing what with who, but let me focus:
This story is false. The injury isn’t real. I’m highly doubtful of the events in question, and even if they did occur, screwing up your court letter and lying about what the police can do is not the way to make a name for yourself.
Surely preaching equality through, “Can we all just not hit each other?” Rather than, “Men are pigs and they hit women!” would be a better way to go, but then again, you did put make up on your face and fabricate a whole story…thank god she is finally getting called out for this bullshit
The tea is piping hot and coating these walls.
Kinda not sure what to think right now. I would think that there are more than enough people on Tumblr who are against domestic abuse, so one wouldn’t need to make up BS in order to show how much they stand up for women. I mean, are we playing a game here to see who can be a bigger, better moral crusader? Is this really the way to go about things? Is making up BS really going to help anyone or is it more likely to hinder progress for those who have actual real stories to tell?
I kinda want the girl to be proven right here, for the sake of not being so disappointed in this whole thing.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what you get when you stand up to a man who beats his young girlfriend in public. Not the black eye, not the broken nose, but the sense of being a fucking great human being.
Earlier today while I was waiting for the bus I witnessed a man walk up to his girlfriend, who couldn’t have been older than 18, kick her handbag, spit on her and scream in her face that she was a cunt. He walked back into the bus shelter after telling her she was worthless and pathetic and kicking her in the gut then as she tried to follow he turned around to grab her. I got in between them and told him that he should never EVER spit on a woman, hit her or talk to her in that way. He laughed in my face and said he would “fuck me up”. I looked him square in the eye and told him that I was not afraid of him. He proceeded to scream obscenities at her as I took her away from him, then he shouted to me that he could walk round the corner to get people to kill me. Feeling defiant, I said “go on, I dare you, there’re plenty of people around to witness it.” The prick then walked right up to me and head butted me in the nose. I am now sporting a swollen face and the beginnings of a black eye but the police took swabs from my nose to get his DNA and they know exactly who he is. Cunt’s going down for assault. Motherfuckers don’t treat women like that and get away with it. I feel heroic.
Best looking black eye I’ve ever seen. Girl’s a hero.
Lupe Fiasco draws excellent parallels between blackface comedy and entertainers like Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne.
this is some of the realest shit i’ve ever seen
This is stunning.
ahtnamaS: Just because you’re against gay marriage doesn’t mean you’re “homophobic”.
Sorry, I just thought I would put that out there. I don’t like it, but I have a lot of friends who are gay. And they respect my opinion, as I do theirs.
Just sayin’.
yeah it does mean that
Lol wut? That…
hi, hello.
when i started reading this i couldn’t help but find it humorous. all of you want people to respect your views, but you can’t respect hers?
then, i read some more, and i found people saying that her gay/bisexual friends probably aren’t her real friends.
and i also found that humorous, because that’s not how it is at all.
wanna know how i know?
because i’m her best friend, practically her sister, and i’m bisexual. she never makes me feel like i’m less than her because of my sexuality, and she never tries to tell me i’m wrong.
she simply doesn’t agree with gay marriage, those are her views.
i respect them, and she respects mine. simple as that.I will give you a piece of unasked for advice, which you will probably ignore and that’s cool. I just kind of wish someone had told me this when I was younger, so I’m going to tell you for your reference and maybe it’ll be useful someday.
1. People who don’t view your rights as important are not actually friends.
2. This is not a two way street. Feeling that gay marriage should be legal isn’t the opposite of feeling that gay marriage should be illegal. The OPPOSITE view would be to feel that straight marriage should be made illegal, because straight people aren’t good enough/don’t deserve marriage. When you “respect someone’s opinion” about them finding gay marriage wrong, what they hear is “a gay person told me it’s okay to view them as second-class citizens, therefore it must be okay”. I’m not saying it’s your responsibility to correct that view, but I’m saying that’s how it’s interpreted, and that’s how it’s held up. Even in this post, she’s using the “but I have gay friends!” card to justify her homophobia, which is a load of crap.
3. You can still have friends even if you cut off people that don’t support you. People who don’t believe you deserve equal rights or who think that tolerating your existence is somehow worth a gold star are not actually supportive. There are other options.
That’s all I wanted to put out there. I’m not making this a back/forth, I don’t care about defensive responses, I’m just offering it up in the hopes it’ll be useful.
I wish someone had told me this years ago, too, because I used to buy into the whole liberal tolerance crap, the idea that I needed to respect views which (if everyone had them) would result in my rights being curtailed. Even as recently as 2008, I remember a girl in my school, someone I’d gotten along well with, WHO KNEW my sexuality, telling me she thought gay marriage shouldn’t be legal, and I was all “oh, agree to disagree I guess” and it never even occurred to me that this could be a game changer for friendship. But I’m so over that.
The “opposite” view would indeed be the idea that straight marriage should be illegal. If you believed that, would your friend still be your friend? Actually, this is not a good example, because there is no widespread movement to end straight marriages, and there are no images of gay people all over the news media, in wedding ring ads, with a big outcry against any picture of a heterosexual couple even so much as appearing in a JC Penny’s advertisement… but let’s say there were, and your friend lived in that atmosphere of erasure and intimidation, and you still believed that. Then your belief, no matter how nicely framed, would be an inherently violent belief. And that’s how all anti-gay marriage beliefs are. No matter how “nicely” they’re stated, they do place one orientation beneath another. No matter how kind the person otherwise is to you, her belief plays into a culture of homophobia and erasure.
There is no logical argument against gay marriage or gay rights, ever. Period. Full stop. I’ve been hearing people arguing against it for years, and I’ve never heard one single cogent argument for how it would hurt anyone (in fact, it’s odd to me that this has become a big running cry of fiscal Republicanism, because ThinkProgress reports stats that gay marriage has brought in more couple income/etc. and been economically good — SO ANY FISCAL ARGUMENT, like all others, is moot). Therefore, the only argument against it is one of kneejerk emotionalism. And because we’re talking about human partner rights and benefits, and a legal state which could mean the difference between your medical coverage being applied to your sick same sex spouse or your same sex spouse suffering in the absence of that, and very real world human consequences in the absence of marriage, then yeah, it’s a pretty inherently violent opinion to say same sex marriage should not be legal, and not something that is just “lolol whatever opinion you have is equally cool!!!11” like differences in favourite colours.
Romney would pay .82 percent in taxes under Ryan’s plan. More here.
No, go ahead and scrub your screen, that’s .82%.
My taxes would go up by thousands.
…that can’t be right.
.82%?
