They even provide environmental indicators, signaling ecological imbalance when their populations decline.Cockroaches, often feared, are shown to be ancient survivors dating back over 300 million years. They can survive extreme conditions, regenerate limbs, withstand radiation, and adapt to nearly any environment. Far from being “dirty pests,” they play important ecological roles and demonstrate extraordinary resilience and intelligence.This segment challenges listeners to reconsider fear-based conditioning and recognise the essential roles these creatures play in Earth’s living system.👤 About the GuestDeepak Shimkhada – Scholar, author, and cultural philosopher specialising in Hindu mythology, symbolism, and spiritual traditions.
