The fact that all western countries has condemned Iran's strikes and crackdown on protestors, but not US-Israel strikes that killed 85, mostly schoolgirls in Iran should tell us where they actually stand.

Hello Tuluva Techie with zero critical thinking skills.

This is a frequently cited statistic that often gets misinterpreted as "Kerala has the worst cancer problem." It is not like that.

Yours and that useless man Rajeev's (who calls himself an Oncologist in the reel), ignorance is known as Simpson's Paradox Analogy. Let me explain.

Kerala has the most mature and extensive population-based cancer registries in India, operating for decades. States with poor registry coverage (UP, Bihar, many northeastern states) massively undercount cases. You cannot report what you do not detect. High incidence on paper often reflects better surveillance, not necessarily a worse disease burden.

Kerala's life expectancy (~75–77 years) is the highest in India, approaching that of developed nations. Cancer is fundamentally an age-related disease - the longer people live, the more time cells have to accumulate mutations. States where people die younger from infections, maternal mortality, or malnutrition never "survive long enough" to develop cancer.

Kerala has largely conquered the infectious disease burden that dominates mortality elsewhere in India. When you eliminate deaths from diarrhea, tuberculosis, and neonatal causes, the proportion of cancer in the disease landscape naturally rises. This is actually a marker of development, not failure.

Kerala has near-universal literacy (~96%), especially female literacy, which strongly correlates with health-seeking behavior. People present to hospitals earlier, get screened, and receive formal diagnoses. In states with poor access, cancers go undiagnosed, patients die at home labeled as "fever" or "abdominal illness," and never enter any registry.

What is Simpson's Paradox?
This is similar to the observation that hospitals with better ICUs report higher death rates - not because they kill patients, but because they receive sicker patients and actually count deaths properly. Kerala "looks bad" partly because it has the institutional capacity to look honestly.

This is a classic lesson in epidemiology: incidence is a function of both disease occurrence AND detection capacity. You must always account for the denominator and the measurement system before drawing causal conclusions.

Also, there is ZERO evidence to equate unprocessed red meat to cancer causation. Please dont send me useless data from WHO and other crap sources - none of them show causation of unprocessed red meat use and cancer. The associated RISK (again there is no causation proven) is from processed/ultraprocessed meats. The most common reason for increased cancer is tobacco, alcohol, obesity. So use your account to help people in controlling these well known risks, instead of trying to play "food jihad" ok? Let people from different States and Cultures enjoy their culinary delights. You can mind your own business.

So next time you visit Kerala with your friend Dr. Rajeev, enjoy some beef and porotta. Serving good food to hosts has always been our happiness mantra.

In New India scholars are jailed. Not rioters. Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam rot in prison without trial, while hate mongers roam free. This isn’t justice. It’s state sponsored vengeance in the guise of law. History will not judge us kindly.

A very sad day for criminals justice system in India.
History will remember this case along with SC verdict in Jabalpur case 50 years ago.

From Punnapra's struggles to Kerala's helm. Uncompromising, unyielding, unforgettable. #VSAchuthanandan

കണ്ണേ കരളേ വി എസ്സെ !! Adieu my Comrade.

[CPI(M) Keralam @CPIMKerala]

We salute Comrade V.S. Achuthanandan—an architect of Kerala’s progressive journey, a voice of the voiceless, and a lifelong champion of the working class.

Never knew a non Indian cricket team victory would get me so overwhelmed with emotions.

South Africa's class of 2025. Test champions.

Winning an ICC title after 27 years, that too at the Lords, the home of cricket. This victory feels personal for any cricket fan.

“Israel, for long, has been known as a rowdy nation. This has been so and is known to all. They think that with the support of the US, they can do anything"

-- Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan told reporters today.

One of the very few Indian politicians to take a stand against Israel.

[Sushant Singh @SushantSin]

India abstained. The rest of South Asia didn't. France, UK and Germany voted for the resolution. So did Russia and China. As did the whole of Global South.

There used to be leading from behind and now there is leading by missing from action.

The world will be a much better place once israel is wiped off the face of this planet.

അത്യാവശ്യം നല്ലൊരു ചിതൽ ആയിരുന്നു ഞാൻ.

ചെറിയ പ്രായം തൊട്ട് കയ്യിൽ കിട്ടുന്ന എന്തും വായിച്ചു തള്ളുന്ന സ്വഭാവം.

എന്നിട്ടും ഞാൻ വായിക്കാൻ ശ്രമിച്ചു പരാജയപ്പെട്ട അപൂർവ ഐറ്റംസ് ൽ ഒന്നാണ് ഖസാക്കിന്റെ ഇതിഹാസം.

ഇത് വരെ വായിച്ചു തീർത്തിട്ടുമില്ല.. 🥲

A political masterclass by CPI(M)'s Swaraj. Here's the crux of what he says:

For the CPI(M), holding parliamentary positions is not our primary objective. Elections are a tool—a means to take our ideology to the people. In Kerala, our electoral victories don’t mean we can establish socialism. We use the power we gain through these wins to stand with the poor and working class. In contrast, right-wing politics treat elections as a ladder for individual ambition. For them, winning elections is all that matters.
