Decades ago I was an #ERO. Never saw any form-7 objection. Then, our objective was to ensure every adult was included in the electoral roll.
Legal experts have to answer query regarding the ‘locus standi’ of the ‘objector’ filing Form-7 👇🏼. Since Form 7 objection can only be filed by a person whose name is already on the electoral roll of the same constituency, it’s assumed it’s in the spirit of ‘good citizenship’.
It was never meant to be abused or misused, the way #CEC Gupta has weaponised.
Moreover, #ERO must be ‘satisfied’ that the credentials of objector are legitimate and there is a prima facie substance to the objection before accepting the Form-7 objector. Thereafter, ERO has to conduct an enquiry, after issuing notice to and giving an opportunity to the person whose inclusion in the electoral roll is being ‘objected to’ and pass a ‘reasoned order’. This is a quasi judicial process. Deletion or non-inclusion merely because some random guy filed form-7 without due process is patently illegal. Such a deletion directly by #CEC using @TCS designed app is blatant abuse of authority.
Form6 can’t be filled by a deleted voter. It’s only for NEW voters. All those who have been forced to fill it have committed criminal offence carrying 1 yr prison. EC officials who forced them are abetters to crime. This press note shows ECI’s abetment!
How a quack nearly killed a young student
30-yr-old law student with Type-1 diabetes alleged he was advised by ‘Dr’ VRK to stop insulin and put on VRKdiet, which he promoted as a cure for Type-1 diabetes.
Police booked VRK after student landed in hospital
While I believe restricting access to means of suicide (eg. Pesticides, guns) ↓ suicide deaths, haven't seen any evidence this works with ceiling fans.
As a researcher, I request to IITs & IISc, pl can we collect data to check efficacy? I think we have a natural experiment here.
Student suicides are a Public Health issue.
As with all public health issues, both individual & structural factors matter.
We need more public health research & public health interventions.
Enough of the blame game. India's demographic dividend is killing itself.
This is what China did:
80s & 90s: Mass literacy.
End 90s: Huge investment in STEM graduates.
2005: Huge increase in STEM PhD volumes.
2015: Investment in PhD quality with Double First Class.
2025: AI education compulsory from primary.
They invested and built for the future.
I guess we'll get there once we sort out our past.
@netshrink True.
Every Institution want to cover up the suicide happened in their campuses.
They are only pretending to help in the name of ‘Mental Wellness’

Dementia is not an inevitable part of ageing, it is caused by diseases, most commonly Alzheimer’s. So, this #WorldAlzheimersDay is about hope. Hope that research will find a breakthrough. Please watch and #ShareTheOrange - https://t.co/VUyc606Yhs
How do people pursuing assisted suicide in Switzerland report the motivations underpinning their decision?
New BMJ Research finds people describe the decision not only as a response to suffering, but also as a deliberate way of shaping the end of life

“Scholasticide” has been proposed to describe the targeted destruction of an entire education system, including infrastructure, archives, and staff. This has become common in conflicts.
Impunity for targeted attacks on schools and universities must end

Talking about suicide is good. Especially on the awareness day.
What is better ?
Using hard data to understand the issue and devise solutions.
@tylerblack32 does that very well.
So pl make this thread your reading today. Knowledge is power.
