Indian-American couple Brij Agarwal and Sunita Agarwal have donated $5.5 million to expand healthcare services in Texas, including support for St. Luke's Health–Sugar Land Hospital and a new primary care clinic.

Funny how stories like this rarely go viral. The same people obsessed with pushing anti-India narratives won't be making podcasts or headlines about Indian-Americans funding hospitals, improving healthcare access, and giving back to the communities that helped them succeed.

The donation is the largest single gift in the hospital's history, with its main patient tower and pavilion now being named in the Agrawals' honour.

Peaceful rural life in India. Tourists must visit such areas of India, like this in the foothill of Himalayas. Indian railways connect well, people are very kind, stays are so cheap and cultured, you can still get internet, even 5G, unlike the US or EU.

Japan suspended batches of Indian mangoes because of fruit flies. Because the Indian fruit flies are non-native to Japan. If fruit flies are eating a fruit, then the fruit is actually good, not poisonous as many have claimed.

In fact, there's a food movement that eats vegetables and fruits that are affected by insects as they seem to have more beneficial nutrients for humans.

Anyway, the point is, Japan has banned American fruit imports too over pesticides (due to more stringent requirements in Japan).

But Americans aren't making thousands of videos claiming their fruits are poisonous. Indians do it. Indians themselves do hit jobs against their own country's products due to politics and programming.
