RSS funding transparency, statutory compliance, and legal status. Explore
if the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh demands public accountability or if it

"Priyank Kharge, in a statement on X, pointed out that the BJP acknowledged
RSS as its ideological parent, making the organisation's accountability
obligations non-negotiable.

Bhagwat, speaking at an RSS centenary outreach programme in Thrissur,
Kerala, on Sunday (June 14), said the call for information was 'driven by
politics rather than genuine concerns over accountability,' reported The
Hindu. He argued that RSS did not receive any government funding and was
therefore not obligated to register, adding that even the Hindu religion
was not a registered entity.

He [Bhagwat] said, 'I don?t need to respond. There are so many unregistered
things functioning in the country. We are not secretive; we work openly and
people know what we do. We are used to such allegations. Those who seek
government funds require registration,"

Which large lake has the least functioning fish population and why?
<https://www.quora.com/Which-large-lake-has-the-least-functioning-fish-population-and-why>

Welcome to Darwin?s Nightmare

Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa and the third largest in the
world. It?s one of the sources of the Nile River, which flows all year
thanks to this natural reservoir, even though it runs through a desert. It
has four native names because a lot of people live near it.

And for millennia, it hosted the largest variety of freshwater fish in the
world, nearly a thousand different species. Most of these are in a family
called ?cichlids? which are fish about the size of your hand.

For centuries, fishers around the lake would go out in their small boats
and reap the bounty of the lake. I mean, there?s not a lot of meat on them,
but they?re perfectly edible and they?re small enough to be dried in the
abundant sunshine of the region. That meant one good catch could last you
for weeks or months.

But in the 1950s, some not too bright people thought it would be more fun
to introduce a species that would be more fun for leisure fisherman, hoping
to bring tourists to the lake. The one they introduced was the Nile Perch.

The Nile Perch can grow to be the size of a small child. Guess what it
eats? That?s right! Smaller fish. Unlike its native river, Lake Victoria
was an all-you-can-eat buffet.

By the 1970s the Nile Perch was being fished commercially, but not in the
little boats used by the people who lived there. No, a Nile Perch could
overturn a little boat, so fishers came in big boats. Meanwhile, over 500
species of cichlid in the lake went extinct and the number of fish in the
surviving species declined sharply, so much so that few live to become
large enough to breed. It would hardly matter now because the Nile Perch
can?t find cichlids either anymore so it eats shrimp and minnows.

Also, Nile Perch are so fatty that if you tried to sun dry them they would
spoil before they dry, so they have to be smoked - in a region where
forests are already under tremendous human pressure. This is so expensive
that people who live near the lake can?t afford them, so every day the
catch is flown to Europe for sale.

The good news is the lake is so barren of fish that it?s likely the Nile
Perch population is going to collapse from starvation one of these days.
The bad news is that pretty much all the fish will be gone well before that
happened.

Oh, and the award winning 2004 documentary about this is, of course
?Darwin?s Nightmare?. You can find a few foreign subtitled versions on
YouTube or hunt down the title. I can?t recommend it very highly as it?s
mostly just interviews with no narration, but it is what it
