@TheClubJunto Fewer conglomerates means lesser competition, more employment generation, like in South Korea. Can India become like them?

@SandeepMall Many reasons, deep rooted. Can't blame any body or have to blame everybody.

Good morning! Just got to know this!

1/2 A whole government Ministry is unleashed on me - because I speak against unscientific practices and primitive traditional healthcare that can harm, I communicate scientific information for public and patients alike.

This was an official memo released during the Ministry of Ayush meeting on 12-6-2026 fully dedicated towards shutting down my social media presence.

Imagine - the people in this meeting were eating biscuits and drinking tea, paid for by the citizens of the country - to decide how to gag and shutdown a citizen doctor who educates people on medical science via social media.

Yesterday, my Instagram account was briefly hacked, but I got back control and removed unauthorized access within an hour.

The Article 51A(h) of the Indian Constitution outlines the fundamental duty of every citizen to develop a "scientific temper, humanism, and the spirit of inquiry and reform". Added during the 42nd Amendment in 1976, this non-justiciable directive promotes logical reasoning, critical thinking, and rationality.

The Ayush system is not scientific, it kills scientific temper, it does not promote the spirit of inquiry, it lacks logical reasoning, has the deadest version of critical thinking and none of its products and practices are rational.

The only thing that needs to be shut down, is an unscientific body like Ayush that goes against the Indian Constitution and wastes public tax money... and not me.

Also, please look closely at the person at the end, who is copied to, by the Ministry. His name is Vaidya K P Manikandan and he is the owner and founder of CNS Ayurveda Hospital, where children are treated for chronic conditions such as severe mental health disorders, autism and epilepsy (please see an official release from the hospital in the next post). One such victim of his was saved by my team (we reported it: https://t.co/eXeWt2n6N7) and he put a criminal defamation case against me and the authors (for publishing a scientific peer reviewed paper!) which was later "stayed" by the High Court of Kerala.

This has nothing to do with service to patients, but everything to do with protecting the business of alternative medicine (especially Ayurveda). These low life complaintants should be ashamed.

In defense of Indian 🇮🇳 democracy!

During Prime Minister Narendra Modi most successful visit to Norway a minor incident happened. A Norwegian journalist demanded that the prime minister starts holding press conferences. She claimed that Indian democracy is in bad shape.

May be its time to pause? May be its time to be a bit curious to the world’s largest democracy?

Two weeks ago five Indian states and territories held elections. The turn out in the battlefield state of West Bengal was 94%. In the last local election in Norway it was 62%, in many European local elections turn out is below 50%. Can voting in massive numbers be a signal Indians trust their democratic process?

In the same election BJP won big in Assam and West Bengal. It lost even bigger in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Can this diversity be a signal that Indian democracy is reflecting the will of the people?

The journalist referred to a democracy ranking putting India at 157 in the world, behind many dictatorships and deeply troubled states. When a ranking is so obviously contrary to common sense, why not ask critical questions to those making the ranking rather than demand that leaders shall comment on nonsense? I recommend Salvatore Babones book “Dharma democracy”. The book debunks convincingly the flawed methodology of these rankings.

It was referred to a ranking claiming it’s very dangerous to be a journalist in India. Reality is that it is more dangerous to be journalist in the US and far more dangerous in the vast majority of other nations in the world.

Let’s be real. India is not perfect. Of course there are incidents. India has a population the size of North America, South America and Europe combined. But India is much more peaceful than Europe or the Americas. That’s remarkable - given the ethnic, language and religious diversity of India and the many development challenges.

Unless we consider democracy a form of government only suited for some very small, peaceful and homogeneous Western European nations, may be we should commend Indian democracy?

India is the only major former UK colony which became and has remained a democracy. Its sometimes claimed that the Brits taught India democracy. If that was the case why isn’t Myanmar or Pakistan or the Gulf kingdoms democracies??? Reality is that Indian democracy is both homegrown and extraordinary successful.

I have visited multiple customers in Western Europe who start work as early as 6 am and go home by 2. Some come by 7 and go by 3. Almost nobody starts later than 8.

While at work, its only work. No personal calls, no random talks. They take their coffees to their table and continue working as they sip their coffee. They leave when they are supposed to leave. No unnecessary overtime and definitely no “oh look, i work so hard” gimmicks. Even China works this way. 1 Chinese employee does as much work as 4 Indian employees. Thats their level of efficiency. That is also how a team of 20-25 people can generate revenue of over 10 million Euros in western Europe without breaking a sweat.

The old employee I engaged in Poland was one such professional from whom I learnt a lot about ethics and etiquette. We had a deal that he would come after hours of his new job by about 3:15 pm and work till sun down. And as per his word, man would pull into the drive way every day between 3:10- 3:15 pm. He would go change to work clothes, get to the shop floor, place his phone on the work table and get to work. We would work together for the next 2.5-3 hours in which duration he wouldn’t even as much look towards his phone, let alone pick it up to ‘take a break’. And he is one of the most knowledgeable people i have met about cnc machining till date. No air of arrogance or entitlement. Come in- work- take the pay- shake hands and go home.

This is a culture i am struggling to bring about in my factory. Even my highest paid shopfloor manager is on “ghar se phone” or “gaon se phone” almost an hour a day cumulative even while he is working. We are least efficient of the lot. It has become one of the missions of my life to bring in efficiency and discipline to the boys and girls at my work place till they are around. It should become a norm that 8 hours is adequate to achieve deliverables which we presently struggle even with 4 hours of OT everyday!

Gen Z is worse in this. I am hoping the one after is better atleast.

[Arun Mohan @AMoh9046]

@SandeepMall It is a culture. Cut corners, dress up, don't pay on time, don't pay for quality. It is a vicious cycle. We have created a system that will not reward excellence.

[Arun Mohan @AMoh9046]

@ShivrattanDhil1 @ToyotaMotorCorp @Toyota_India It is a culture. GM and Toyota jointly ran a Auto Plant in the US. The venture didn't succeed because it was run by to vastly different cultures.

The woman who went viral on Mumbai streets is no longer just a face in a chaotic video.

Tina Chaudhary -the same woman who confronted Maharashtra Minister Girish Mahajan during a traffic jam caused by a protest has now spoken for the first time.

No social media. No political backing. Just a citizen pushed to the edge.
In a 3 min 15 sec video, she explains what really happened, why she lost her calm, and what she expects from all of us.

Her message is simple:
She cannot be the voice of every Indian. Because every Indian already has a voice.
The question is : are we ready to use it?

WE ARE SHORT OF TIME!

THIS MOVEMENT HAS TO SPREAD LIKE WILD FIRE!

#IndiansWantFOPLwarnings #IndiansWantFOPLwarnings

INDIANS HAVE A RIGHT TO GOOD HEALTH!

WE DONT WANT OBESITY, DIABETES, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE OR HEART DISEASE.

WE WANT TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN TOO!

WE WILL DECIDE  ABOUT HOW WE WANT TO BE WARNED ABOUT HIGH FAT, SUGAR OR SALT IN THE FOOD.

IT CANNOT BE DECIDED BY COMPANIES SELLING PACKED FOOD AND COMPANIES MARKETING PACKED FOOD AGGRESSIVELY INCLUDING CELEBRITY ENDORSEMENTS.

PLEASE SAVE INDIANS! ASK FOR FOPL WARNINGS! LET THIS MOVEMENT BECOME A TSUNAMI!

[Dr.Sivaranjini @dr_sivaranjani]

In May 2018, FSSAI submitted it's first draft in the Parliament saying there would be a RED MARK on the FRONT OF THE LABEL if the pack contained food with high amounts of SALT/SUGAR/SATURATED FAT. In September 2022, because of the pressure from the food industry (inspite of resistance from the consumer organizations), FSSAI submitted another draft favoring the star rating system.

In 2024, 3S and our health society filed a PIL in the Supreme Court saying that FSSAI should make FOPL warning mandatory.

On 10th Feb 2026, Supreme Court directing FSSAI to consider implementing FOPL warning and to get back in 4 weeks. FSSAI asked for some more time. There was a stakeholders' meeting on the 19th of March 2026 where most of the people werefrom the food industry and a few were from the consumers. A couple of representatives from NAPi were there, including @Moveribfan
Anytime, the FSSAI will submit it's final plan now.

We, Indians have to put such tremendous pressure on FSSAI that it won't have a choice but to go for FOPL warning that warns every innocent ignorant Indian as well, about the packed food being high in SALT/SUGAR/SATURATED FAT.

It is time all the influemcers and all the people rise up to the occasion and let FSSAI know what we need, just like how we did when there was a stay order (when Kenvue asked for a stay citing that recalling its 180 crore stock would spoil the name it had built for two decades) on the FSSAI order of October 14th and 15th asking companies not to have ORS in the branding or on the label, and to not use the term ORS for marketing of beverages/foods. ORS is a drug. Only CDSCO can give permission/licence. Only WHO recommended formula ORS is allowed to have ORS on the label.

Not just adults, even children are facing tremendous risk of obesity related complications with the food industry targeting them through various marketing strategies including celebrity endorsements.

PLEASE SAVE INDIANS! ASK FOR FOPL WARNING! LET THIS MOVEMENT BECOME A TSUNAMI!

Please do not get tired of me posting about the same thing. The stakes are high! Its a matter of crores of Indians, especially children. When it comes to children, hesitancy can have a cost! We cannot allow history to repeat! There may not be another Dr Sivaranjani to fight again. It's not just eRZL, but no drink should be positioned in the pharmacies along with WHO recommended formula ORS, and even better, none of the other beverages should be available in the pharmacies, hospitals, and schools. Please sign the petition and share it. We need to tell the Govt. how people of India feel about the issue, not that they don't know, but we need proof.
Share this super creative video which tells one how confusing it gets for a stressed parent taking decisions when their child is sick.
Also, another two companies have come up with ORS on the label. What are FSSAi and the FDAs doing when companies are so blatantly violating the Govt. order??!!

Explains a whole lot!! 😉

This man says that reading books is a waste of time

I can tell you what is the real waste of time... Listening to this complete balderdash on television or social media.

As far as saying that reading books is not 'enough' there is something that is called a necessary but not sufficient condition.

But if you stopped your education ages ago, this would be long forgotten

On that note, just recorded a podcast with @nikunjdalmia on books. The major issue for me was keeping the recommended list below 20 books.

For a few hundred rupees, you can learn what someone has learnt over lifetime - make no mistake, there is no better value proposition available in the world.

And of course here is the Charlie munger on reading:

“In my whole life, I have known no wise people (over a broad subject matter area) who didn’t read all the time – none, zero.”

"Develop into a lifelong self-learner through voracious reading; cultivate curiosity and strive to become a little wiser every day.”

Happy reading!

THE COST OF FREEDOM - Long but please read.
This is an article by an anonymous Air Force Officer who flew out Kargil casualties: the just-missed ones, the injured survivors, the unknown Sikh soldier in the Kargil War. It is reproduced as received.
I remember it as if it were yesterday. It was 23 May 1999, and the Kargil conflict was ongoing. My crew and I were in Awantipur (Kashmir) to pick up 24 casualties (20 sitting & 4 on stretchers). The casualties on stretchers were extremely seriously wounded.
The age of the passengers ranged between 19–27 years. Some had bullet wounds where the bullet had gone through and through, but they still had their legs and could sit, stand, and walk—so weren’t on stretchers. (I guess, in a strange Army way, making them feel better—that’s how the system works. It actually works. I have seen a Gurkha with a bullet wound helping another Kumaoni who was limping along. It’s a system that teaches one to be empathetic towards others.)
The men who were on stretchers were the really badly hurt ones. They were those who had stepped on a landmine and had their legs blown off. A very different sight from what is seen on TV news—moving from wounded soldiers to heavy snowfall. The pain was terribly real. Also, it was not possible to merely change the channel.
The aircraft was the workhorse of the IAF, an An-32. It reeked of antiseptic and fear. As we waited for the last patient to arrive, I realised that my An-32 was also a micro India.
A Naga soldier was seated next to a tall Jat, a Tambi next to a Maratha, a Rajput next to a JAK LI jawan, a Mahar next to a tall Guards soldier, and the tiny Gurkha next to an equally small and sturdy Kumaoni.
All united by shades of olive green and the invisible thread of pain—injuries they had suffered on our behalf.
In the ambulance parked just at the edge of the ramp (behind the aircraft) was a Sikh Light Infantry soldier. He was really young—so young that his beard had barely started to grow, a mere boy. He had lost both his legs in a landmine explosion.
In an effort to distract him, I asked,
“Are you fond of cricket?”
His eyes brightened immediately, and he said,
“Yes, Sir.”
Seeing his response, I addressed all my passengers:
“The World Cup is ongoing in England. India is playing Kenya. Sachin Tendulkar has scored 140 runs in 101 balls, not out. He has helped India reach 329 in 50 overs. Tendulkar has dedicated his innings to his father, whose funeral he had returned from the previous day. What do you all think—will we win?”
“YES SIR!” came the immediate reply in unison.
All of a sudden, a Tendulkar tsunami swept through the aircraft and the ambulance behind it.
Everyone forgot their pain and injuries. They forgot their predicament. All they could talk about was Tendulkar and his century.
People began talking to the person next to them. Language and cultural barriers broke down instantly. New friendships were formed.
I could see my young friend in the ambulance talking animatedly. His eyes lit up. His smile was ecstatic as he described Tendulkar’s shots. His injuries and pain were forgotten briefly.
He was happy. All my passengers were happy.
For a brief moment, everything was the way it ought to be.
Epilogue
When I landed with my passengers in Delhi, I shared the good news—we had indeed won the match, far away in England.
My young friend, strapped to the stretcher, smiled at me. I shook his hand and wished him well.
I was relieved it was dark—he couldn’t see my eyes.
My crew and I stood behind the aircraft as they disembarked silently, wishing them well.
It is men like these—the ones who were passengers on my plane—who silently walk away after giving their youth for all of us.
They are the ones we owe our freedom to.
Dear countrymen and women,
Freedom doesn’t come for free.
It is paid for in full by the lives and blood of our soldiers, sailors, and airmen.
