Faith-Healing Conversion Agent Operating Inside School?
What Happened:
A disturbing case has emerged from Vibgyor Rise School, Phursungi, Pune, where a Class 10 student allegedly faced religious influence while seeking medical assistance at the school's sick bay
According to a complaint given to the school by student's parent, a member of the school's medical staff engaged the girl in a conversation about miracle healing by pastors, showed her videos of a pastor claiming to cure fatal diseases through prayers to Yeshu, and even wrote down the name of the pastor's YouTube channel for her
The complaint further said that the staff member instructed the student not to disclose the conversation to her parents
The issue first surfaced after the parent raised it in a WhatsApp group of parents, triggering anger
The school has reportedly responded, saying the said staff member has been terminated from job.

Lesson:
Conversion agents often operate like sleeper cells, influencing people they come into contact with in schools, colleges, hospitals, workplaces and other trusted spaces. Their messaging may seem like sharing of a harmless personal experience or friendly conversation
However, brainwashing against one's cultural beliefs, promotion of deity of a different religion, promotion of faith healers, invitations to their prayer meetings are red flags and can even attract criminal charges
Such incidents should be promptly reported to institutional authorities and, where appropriate, to law-enforcement agencies.
I ran across this video a few days ago and couldn’t stop watching it.
It’s about something ordinary & boring, a plastic gas lighter. But it changes how one thinks about manufacturing.
That lighter in so many of our homes, holds pressurised gas. It has over 30 microscopic parts, has to pass international safety codes, & travel 10,000 miles by sea, & the total cost of doing all that, materials, labour, freight, every middleman along the way, comes to fifteen U.S cents.
So how does anyone make money on this?
Turns out almost the entire world’s supply comes from one place: a county called Shaodong, in China’s Hunan province.
It wasn’t always there.
But today, Shaodong has 114 lighter-related companies packed into the place & between them they source more than 200 different components from each other, all within a 20-kilometre radius. They supply something like seventy percent of the world’s disposable lighters. And the industry alone employs over 80,000 people locally.
Nobody there is winning on cheap labour anymore. They’re winning by shaving a thousandth of a cent off the thickness of a plastic wall, or redesigning a base so a few thousand more units fit into the same shipping container.
It took my thoughts back to an old professor of mine, Michael Porter.
His 1980 book, Competitive Strategy, is still the 1st book most MBAs read, the one that gave the world the Five Forces and basically invented modern strategic thinking.
But there’s a quieter piece of his work, on industrial clusters, that never got nearly the same attention, and it is the one that explains exactly what is happening in Shaodong.
His argument was that nations and regions rarely win because of cheap inputs. They win when rival firms and specialist suppliers crowd into the same small geography for long enough that they keep pushing each other past what any one of them could manage alone. He found it in the Swiss watchmaking towns of the Jura, in the German printing press industry and in Italy’s ceramic tile and footwear districts (interestingly, it’s the SAME blueprint which built Morbi, in Gujarat, into the world’s second-largest ceramic cluster, now outproducing Italy by volume. I have posted before, about Morbi)
None of these started out as giants. The neighbourhood made them giants.
Which is exactly why it’s so relevant to India’s climb up the global manufacturing table
I’ve also attached a slide with this post that I saw recently and which shows us breaking into the top 5 manufacturing globally. (A quick reference check told me that we may not have overtaken Korea yet, but the trajectory’s clear)
That climb has happened on the back of scale: bigger plants, bigger parks, more FDI.
I should declare an interest here, because the Mahindra Group set up 2 of India’s first integrated, plug-and-play business cities, in Chennai in 2002 & Jaipur in 2006.
Both have been extremely successful. Chennai’s business zone alone today employs 45,000 people..
But I admit that we need to think differently.
A park brings in investors and hands them a ready plot, power, water & roads
A cluster is a completely different animal: hundreds of small, specialised suppliers, each obsessed with doing a tiny thing better than anyone else, feeding off each other’s presence for years until no outsider can compete with the whole.
I think that’s the work ahead of us now.
Not just more factories, and not just more parks.
Policymakers & developers like us need to start consciously pulling as many of the inputs and resources a sector needs, the toolmakers, the component suppliers, the testing labs, the logistics specialists, into the same neighbourhood.
Shaodong and Morbi both got there by accident, one town stumbling onto a way to shave a thousandth of a cent off a lighter wall, the other discovering it had the clay and, later, the gas pipeline for tiles.
We don’t have the luxury of waiting for accidents anymore.
We need to do it on purpose
Listen to this Delhi University Professor. He says that every Hindu is raping a Muslim woman either in reality or in dreams.
He says that every Hindu is a potential murderer or a potential rapist.
Request @EduMinOfIndia
to immediately file an FIR & sack this Professor Apoorvanand. @SachdevaAmita
47,000 acres of temple land reportedly vanished from Tamil Nadu government records between 1984-85 and 2019-20.
The Madras High Court questioned the HR&CE Department over the missing land linked to temples including Arulmigu Avinashiappar and Arulmigu Subramaniasamy.
Temples generate significant revenue, but who will protect their properties?
When will temple lands be fully restored and safeguarded?

Fuck you @CNN
Indian lives are not collateral damage. Take that Trump’s dihhh deeep in you aaaaaaas. The saddest part? The author of this piece is an Indian.
He is a Bangladeshi Muslim, Mohammad Farouk, who named his ship ‘9/11’, but this Pakistani !nbred living in India shamelessly trying to defame Indians🤡
As a Japanese watching the UK right now, I have one simple question.
A Sudanese asylum seeker just tried to behead a local man in Belfast. The victim lost an eye.
This comes after years of grooming gangs raping thousands of British girls — gangs that police and councils deliberately ignored because they were afraid of being called racist.
In Japan, even one case like this would have triggered national outrage and immediate policy reversal.
But in Britain, the conversation is still about “not being far-right.”
British people, at what point does protecting your own children become more important than protecting your reputation?
We genuinely do not understand this.
British Kashmiri leader announced bounty on the heads of Pakistan Army, ISI & Rangers for killing PoK Civilian Leaders:
100 million for Brig. Faiq, ISI
100 million for IGP Capt. Liaqat
10 million for all 53 POK Assembly members
100,000 for every Ranger.
Jairam Ramesh tweeted in September 2024 that the Adani Nairobi airport proposal would spark protests turning into anti-India anger because of the Prime Minister’s so-called “special friendship” with Adani.
What actually happened tells a very different and disturbing story. Adani offered nearly $2 billion to upgrade Jomo Kenyatta International Airport under a concession model. The deal was cancelled in November 2024 after a coordinated campaign of protests, negative publicity, and a social media drive led by Kenyan influencer Nelson Amenya all fuelled by US allegations that have now been closed by the Department of Justice for lack of conclusive evidence.
Even a fake press release was circulated to damage Adani during this period.
Two years later, Kenya awarded a $2.9 billion contract almost 50% higher than the original Indian offer to a Chinese state-owned company. India lost a major private investment opportunity in East Africa. China gained strategic ground while Kenyan taxpayers were forced to pay significantly more.
Jairam Ramesh and the entire Congress party didn’t just stay silent they actively amplified this controversy from India. Their political attacks helped turn a legitimate commercial proposal toxic and made it easier for China to step in after an Indian company was pushed out. Was this really just political opposition, or was there something more deliberate behind it?
Congress has a long and consistent history of aligning with China. They had signed an MoU with the Chinese Communist Party and maintained that relationship for years. Whether it is weakening India’s stand on the border, opposing Indian companies abroad, or creating obstacles for projects that can strengthen India, Congress has repeatedly shown that it has no problem working against Indian interests when China stands to benefit.
When it comes to choosing between protecting Indian interests and helping China, why does Congress always seem to choose China?
Their actions in the Kenya airport case have once again exposed whose side they are truly on.
Many years ago, a Parsi woman studying at a college in Gujarat fell in love with a Muslim professor, Nisar Ahmed, who was 15 years older than her. Despite strong opposition from her family, she chose to marry him.
Even after marriage, she never converted to Islam. She continued to follow and practice her own faith, Zoroastrianism, throughout her life.
When she recently passed away, her husband approached the Parsi community to have her last rites performed according to Zoroastrian traditions. They refused because she had married outside the community.
He then turned to members of his own Muslim community to bury her according to Islamic customs. They refused as well, since she had never converted to Islam.
Left with nowhere to go, he approached the Hindu community. Without asking about her religion, caste, or background, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) stepped forward and arranged for her final rites to be performed with dignity according to Hindu traditions.
This is the spirit of Sanatan Dharma.

A Sessions Court in Delhi has stayed the Magistrate Court's order for registration of an FIR against Abhijit Iyer-Mitra for his allegedly "objectionable" tweets on Newslaundry and its journalists.
The Sessions Judge says the words used by Iyer-Mitra are in the form of shayari, but no individual has been specifically named.

These children won't be India's future problem. They will be Britain's. The glorification of violence by children of Khalistani asylum seekers is precisely the kind of societal challenge Colin Bloom CBE
warned about.
The disproportionate patronage extended to sectarian political groups in the UK has already had deadly consequences, culminating in the brutal murder of Henry Novak by criminals such as Vicrum Digwa.
Allowing minors to be conditioned into extremism is a failure not only of parenting, but of the education and safeguarding systems as well.
