Lets see who these Pathans are which are being called out here
Pathans (Pashtun-descended communities in India) played notable roles, especially in non-violent and revolutionary streams:
Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan (Bacha Khan or Frontier Gandhi): The most iconic. A Pashtun leader who founded the Khudai Khidmatgar (“Servants of God”), a non-violent “Red Shirt” movement allied with Gandhi and Congress. His followers (largely Pathans) practiced strict non-violence despite their martial culture, enduring brutal British repression in the North-West Frontier Province. He was a close ally of Gandhi and a key figure in the independence movement.
Ashfaqulla Khan: Revolutionary from a Pathan (Khyber tribe) family. Key member of the Hindustan Republican Association; involved in the 1925 Kakori Train Robbery with Ram Prasad Bismil and others. He was executed by the British in 1927 and remains a symbol of armed resistance.
Others: Figures like Muhammad Ali Jauhar and Shaukat Ali (Khilafat Movement leaders), Zakir Husain (later President of India, Afridi Pathan descent), and various participants in 1857 or local actions. Pathan soldiers and communities also featured in broader protests.
Pathans were prominent in both non-violent (Frontier) and revolutionary efforts, leveraging their organizational strength in the northwest
Good morning. This is urgent, for public information.
The second paper on cow research funded using India's public money under the SUTRA-PIC (Scientific Utilization through Research Augmentation - Prime Products from Indigenous Cows program) has undergone exhaustive post-publication peer review.
The paper was published in Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology last year. The authors are from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) BHU-Varanasi and Birla Institute of Technology (BITS)-Pilani.
This is the paper: https://t.co/InN4H9safh
This study was done in Uttar Pradesh and the total amount of public money given was INR 31,04,162. The authors studied cow urine of different breeds and found "special" components in the cow urine that they claim will have major use applications in healthcare, technology and engineering.
They are wrong. The paper is a third-rate publication with poorly performed and grossly misinterpreted and falsified results of basic analytical chemistry. An official email for Expression of Concern and investigation into scientific integrity has been mailed to: @SpringerNature Ethics Team and Journal Editors-in-Chief (personal email) - Matthew P. DeLisa PhD
at Cornell University, Ye Ni PhD at Jiangnan University and Benedict Okeke PhD at Auburn University.
Here is the lay summary of the paper's forensic analysis:
Lab contamination has been (un)intentionally ignored by authors. The researchers mistook common lab contaminants, like plastic chemicals and solvents, for natural cow urine compounds. They failed to run basic control tests to catch these obvious errors.
Impossible chemicals claimed to be found in cow urine by authors. The paper claims to have found impossible synthetic chemicals in the urine, such as a banned pesticide, human prescription drugs, and toxic metals. This shows the authors blindly trusted computer software without checking if the results even made biological sense.
Fake health claims made by the authors. The authors boast about the amazing health benefits of over twenty different chemicals, claiming they fight cancer and bacteria. However, none of these specific chemicals were actually found anywhere in their own data or in the urine of various cows they tested.
Contradictory results are all over the place. The written text of the paper directly contradicts its own data tables. The researchers claim to have found certain groups of chemicals, like steroids, that are completely missing from their actual results.
Terrible referencing throughout the paper. The study's citations are completely mismatched, scrambled, and duplicated. They even cite unrelated plant studies and reviews on toxic chemicals to support their claims about the "benefits" of cow urine.
Zero statistics and flawed setup degrade the conclusions. The study lacks basic statistical analysis, sometimes testing as few as one cow per breed. They also failed to separate the cow's breed from its age, diet, or location, making their "breed-specific" conclusions totally invalid.
Misleading graphs are plastered all over. The graphs that are supposed to show specific, individual chemicals actually show messy mixtures of dozens of different compounds. These graphs look suspiciously identical to each other, raising serious concerns about image manipulation.
Thanks to the Government for destroying the scientific fabric and the rational temperament of its science instituitions. We wont forget.
Who answers for Dr. Syed Maqbool's children being bullied as a scamster's offspring at school? Who compensates his wife's sleepless nights, or the tears of shame streaming down his parents' faces?
The influencers masquerading as journalists, and the sinister insiders who leaked official documents to these vultures, must be held financially and legally accountable. Every last one of them.
And if the regulators overseeing public information continue looking the other way, they are not innocent bystanders. They are complicit. They are culpable. Silence at this point is nothing short of endorsement.
This is the reality no one talks about.
CCTV from GMC Bhavnagar shows Orthopaedic PG residents being forced to do “Murgha” inside the Operation Theatre by their own seniors.
Degrading. Completely unacceptable.
Every NEET UG & PG aspirant and their parents must watch this.
The over-glorified medical profession has a dark side that needs to be seen.

Caste reservation is cruelty & sheer injustice.

Pic 2: A ST nomadic Bakarwal girl of Poonch, not having even a roof to live.
They both are equal in present reservation setup and elites are gulping their shares. Caste reservation must be abolished.
Deeply concerned by reports of GMC Anantnag allegedly targeting students for raising the MBBS intern stipend issue.
Raising stipend issue is not a crime. We request the colge admin to ensure student dignity .

#VIDEO || After 30-hour shifts, endless duties and years of hard work, we are surviving on Rs 12,300 a month while going through trauma every single day. We are not asking for charity — we are demanding our rights and dignity as healthcare workers,” an MBBS intern said in an emotional appeal to the Jammu and Kashmir government.
@CM_JnK@sakinaitoo
MBBS interns of J&K are paid a mere Rs12300 per month which is the lowest among all Indian states and UTs. Long night shifts, 36 hr duties and heavy patient load further aggravate the situation. It's high time for the J&K Govt to raise the stipend.
@sakinaitoo@OmarAbdullah
MBBS interns in Jammu & Kashmir are being paid just ₹12,300/month. That’s nearly ₹400 a day for handling emergencies, ICU duties, labour rooms, wards, night shifts, and brutal 24–36 hour duties.
One of the LOWEST intern stipends in India.
Meanwhile, states like Assam & West Bengal are paying ₹30,000+.
For 3 YEARS, promises of stipend hikes have been made. For 3 YEARS, nothing has changed.
The system wants young doctors to work like machines, survive on peanuts, and stay silent.
Cheap labour in the name of “training” is exploitation.
Pay MBBS interns what they deserve.
#JammuAndKashmir #MBBSInterns #MedTwitter #Doctors #MedicalEducation #StipendHike #Healthcare #IndianDoctors
When hospitals need manpower MBBS interns are always there day and night.
But when it comes to fair stipend J&K interns are left with one of the lowest stipends in India.Barely ₹400/day.
Please hear our genuine demand.
#HikeMBBSInternStipend@OmarAbdullah@CM_JnK@sakinaitoo
An MBBS intern in J&K earns around ₹12,300 despite working 24–36 hour duties, while interns in many other states receive 2–4 times higher stipends.
Equal work deserves fair pay.
Please hear our genuine demand.
#HikeMBBSInternStipend@OmarAbdullah@CM_JnK
J&K MBBS interns work day and night in hospitals, handle emergencies, patient care, wards, casualty duties and still receive one of the lowest stipends in the country.
We deserve dignity,not exploitation.
