@TISSpeak @poetbadri It is truly an honour to now receive my degree from Prof. @poetbadri in his capacity as the Vice Chancellor of TISS. This coincidence makes this moment even more special.

@TISSpeak My research has been deeply inspired by the writings and academic scholarship of Prof. @poetbadri . I had the opportunity to meet him in 2022 at the G.B. Pant Social Science Institute, and his work is cited extensively in my thesis.

Migrant labourers leaving for home narrate their ordeal. Have been forced to go without meal for 10-15 days straight. That's what the crisis looks like on the ground amid official cacophony of "pls stop spreading rumours".

Let me get this straight…

OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. “To benefit humanity.”

Then he raised billions of dollars.

Then he closed the source code.

Then he converted to for-profit.

Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone.

Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models.

Now he’s on stage saying you’ll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter.

He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he’s going to bill you to use it…

Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they’re not even hiding it anymore…

मेरा (जाति-सूचक) उपनाम मेरी पहचान नहीं है…

प्रबुद्ध सांसद @manojkjhadu जी के इस आले��� का छोटा सा लेकिन बहुत ही गंभीर सा आशय यही है। और मुझ इस आलेख के साथ संलग्न मानें।

समय निकाल कर पढ़िए… अगर आपकी भी सोच आपके (जाति-सूचक) उपनाम से स्वतंत्र है तो आपको भी अच्छा लगेगा।

जिनको अच्छा न लगे उनके लिए सॉरी ☺️

This interview documents Delhi University students’ experiences of caste-based discrimination: everyday slurs, social exclusion, classroom microaggressions, and “merit” used as a coded remark, highlighting the need for stronger UGC guideline implementation. In a polarised media space, Jist News foregrounds context and nuance. #UGC

The Indore tragedy is shocking, unless you know the past cases here.

By the mid-2000s, Madhya Pradesh had become a testing ground where poor patients including children who were treated as human guinea pigs by a nexus of doctors and pharma companies.

In 2011, the Madhya Pradesh Economic Offences Wing informed the state assembly that 76 illegal clinical trials were conducted on 3,307 unsuspecting people between 2006–2010 at Indore’s major government institutions -
MGM Medical College,
Chacha Nehru Bal Chikitsalaya Evam Anusandhan Kendra,
The medicine and neurology departments of MY Hospital.

Nearly half of the subjects were children. These experiments involved drugs for COPD, pulmonary arterial disease, asthma, cardiovascular illnesses, and cancer.

The report said many people died (min 32) during this period because of the illegal clinical trial of medicines.

It also said the drugs have maimed for life 49 other "human guinea pigs", who unknowingly "volunteered" for the experiments. has named six Indore doctors in its report for the appalling act.

This report named 6 Doctors who hand in gloves with the Big Pharma Companies earned 5.10 crores by these trials.

Following this after a huge public and media uproar the Govt charged 12 doctors, including six involved in the trials on mentally ill patients, and they were were fined just Rs.5000/ (💀) each for not informing the parent hospital about the conduct of the trials and for ignoring protocols. Don't believe it? You have Google Mama. ☺️

And who exposed this?
Anand Rai, a doctor and public health activist from Madhya Pradesh.

He was the whistle-blower who exposed the illegal clinical trials on poor, children, and mentally ill patients. He documented the absence of informed consent, protocol violations, and the nexus between certain doctors and pharmaceutical companies.

But speaking the truth came at a heavy cost. Instead of protection, Rai faced years of harassment, repeated inquiries, and professional isolation by the state, even arrest.

This sustained persecution ultimately led to his termination from service in 2024, sending a stark warning about the price of whistle-blowing in a state like MP.

However, these revelations triggered judicial action. In 2013, the Supreme Court of India, in Swasthya Adhikar Manch vs Union of India, laid down strict clinical-trial rules—mandatory informed consent, independent ethics oversight, trial registration, and compensation for injury or death—centering patient safety and dignity in medical research.

He forced public scrutiny of unethical human experimentation disguised as research. What he received in return was predictable. In India, ethics, honesty and conscience in public service come at a price and only a few can afford to pay it.

बिहार से इलाहाबाद तक: बांसुरी-यात्रा के कुछ बिखरे पन्ने, कुछ कसकते स्वर

बांसुरी के निर्माता का जीवन बांसुरी की धुन की तरह मनमोह�� नहीं है. वह एक कठोर और कसकती धड़कन है. इस स्वर-यात्रा को नम और नरम निगाह से देख रहे हैं, @AraWalaAshutosh और @ramahisto.
