Worms were found in the midday meal served to students at the government school in Hale Ningapur village of Koppal taluk, Karnataka. The rice used for the midday meal is supplied under the Akshara Dasoha scheme. It is alleged that the rice was stored for a long period, leading to the infestation.
"Consider a culture that murders an innocent 7-year-old Muslim student."
Read it again, and again.
And hangs his body to teach all Muslims in India a lesson. "Shailendra Kumar Nigam" is the name of the neighbor who has been accused of the murder.
Muslim of India, be very careful with your children, you can't trust your neighbours.
What a diseased, rotten society we have been reduced to that a hindu neighbour can murder a seven-year-old muslim boy, stuff his dead body into a gunny bag and hang him from a gate just so he could teach a lesson to the ‘Mullahs.’
Repeat this in your heads - 7 year old child.
This is what hateful rhetoric does - it normalises hatred, violence & cruelty.
This is not a momentary lapse in humanity. It is terror, plain and deliberate - rehearsed in cruelty, protected by silence, legitimised by impunity.
1. Trump has essentially ended the #H1Bvisa system. Indians, and especially people from Telangana and Andhra were its biggest beneficiaries. How will this affect India and what does it say about Indian foreign policy? 👇
2. 71–72% of all H1B visas go to Indians. Within India, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh dominate the H1B ecosystem. The average annual salary for Indian H1B holders is ~$120,000 primarily in the tech industry. For families back home, these salaries translate into a source of income, contributing significantly to India’s $125 billion remittance inflow. Andhra Pradesh and Telangana account for 37% of Indian NRI deposits. A major source of intergenerational mobility has been closed. But who is to blame?
3. My complaint is not against Trump, he did what he wanted. My quarrel is with this government: what did you achieve with Howdy Modi and Namaste Trump? All those NRIs that you gathered in the Madison Square garden, what did that achieve? Birthday wishes are not foreign policy successes. This ending of H1B visas was meant to target Indians. That the US is putting its relationship with India at risk is proof that it does not care about our strategic value. We are a strategic partner of the US, and if they don’t see us as allies, then it is a failure of this government.
4. We should see this along with other things that the US has done to India recently. The enormous tariffs, the Pakistan-US trade agreement, the Pakistan-Saudi agreement (could not have happened without US’s blessings) and overall India’s vulnerable position in the world. We are in a hostile neighbourhood and increasingly isolated on the global stage.
5. India has entered into dedollarisation agreements with over 18 countries, including Qatar and many ASEAN countries. Trade payment settlements are happening in rupees with these countries. We must expand this to trade with all major trading partners. We must not cede an inch to Trump’s blackmail.
6. I do not derive any pleasure from seeing this happen. This is not an opportunity for me to score some brownie points. But the government must introspect as to why India is facing such difficulties in foreign policy and national security. Is it because you have reduced these issues to gimmicks? After all, it’s not Modi who suffers, but common Indians.
You have sacrificed our long-term gains for domestic posturing. 2014-2024 has been a lost decade.

"It is a famine. The Gaza Famine.
It is a famine within a few hundred metres of food, in a fertile land.
It is a famine on all of our watch. Everyone owns this."

#GazaFamine
Canada is horrified by the Israeli military strike at the Nasser Hospital in Gaza, which killed 5 journalists and many civilians, including rescuers and health officials. Such attacks are unacceptable.
“She gave her father her kidney & gave Gaza her heart,” A quote I read about AP journalist Mariam Abu Dagga..
This is the first photo she shared on her new instagram account in July 2024, after her other account was hacked. The world failed you and your killing was a ‘mishap’.
Two weeks after Israel bombed journalists tent outside Al-Shifa Hospital killing at least five journalists. Today, Israel bombed Nasser Hospital and killed journalists, paramedics, and civil defense workers, on live feed. Including journalists:
Mariam Abu Daqqa
Moaz Abu Taha
Mohamed Salama
Ahmed Abu Aziz
Hossam El-Masry
Israel can not conceal its crimes anymore, so it targets those who expose them.
Terrorism. Barbarism. War crimes upon war crimes, within an ongoing genocide.
The 21st century atrocity.
The international community must deploy a protective force to protect the Palestinian people.
Israel killed five Palestinian journalists in an attack on Nasser Hospital in Gaza, and as rescuers scrambled to the scene, Israel struck again, killing at least 20 people in total.
