The outdoorsmen Bear Grylls shared a photo having tea with Indian PM Modi on February 5, where he wrote:
“One of my favourite photos: soaking wet and sharing a cup of tea with Prime Minister Modi after our Discovery jungle adventure together. This moment reminds me of how the wild is the ultimate leveller. We are all the same behind the titles and masks.”

The timing of this is, honestly, shameful and unbelievably tone-deaf. Even if you don't care about the human rights issue, who on earth in your publicity department thinks now is the perfect time to align yourself with this individual?

I was searching for the word "Amicable" in this tweet 😅

The way our government is handling the plummeting economy, it looks like we all will be living in the wild in coming years
