The first explicit mention of the term "Deepavali" or its variant "dipalika"/"dipalikaya" is in Jain texts occurs in the Harivamsha Purana, a Digambara Jain text composed by Acharya Jinasena in 783 CE. Which talks of nirvana of Tirtankar Mahaveera
In the coming months India will see unprecedented levels of infowar and psyops.
So one thing @MIB_India / @GoI_MeitY should do is:
Mandate SM platforms and chat apps to provide a "Report Illegal Content" in context menu of every post. Just like Europe and UK do.
Use the realtime reports, direct to govt by users, to catch fake news, misinformation, and dangerous content early and take action.

The difference in hospital billing is unbelievable. A corporate hospital in Mumbai charges ₹5.5 lakh for a routine circumcision, whereas a hospital in Jalgaon charges only ₹20,000 for the exact same surgery ( package by Insurance company)
Insurance companies aren't paying these exorbitant bills out of their own pockets—they will simply pass the cost onto you by hiking your next premium.
An appeal to the JAIN community:
During the upcoming Census, please write JAIN in the Religion column, not Hindu.
Jainism has its own distinct identity, philosophy, scriptures and traditions. Let's preserve our religious identity through accurate Census records.
Purpose of This tweet
1-The quiet crisis in our healthcare system starts with an artificial disparity: insurance packages sanctioned for corporate hospital chains are dramatically higher than those offered to standard 100-bed smaller hospital for the exact same procedures.
2-. If a surgeon earns ₹1,00,000 for an operation at a corporate hospital versus ₹30,000 in smaller hospitals, then why they will operate in smaller hospitals ( Many corporates allow visiting consultants)
3- It also fuels a troubling referral pipeline. Inflated corporate packages leave room for substantial kickbacks to referring physicians. Regrettably, patients are often steered toward whichever facility offers the referring doctor the highest financial cut.
4- Insurers fuel this loop because "cashless tie-ups with top corporate networks" are their primary marketing USP. To keep those prominent names on their roster, insurers routinely approve inflated corporate bills that they would aggressively slash for smaller clinics.
5-From the patient’s viewpoint, the choice seems obvious: why pay out of pocket or deal with reimbursement friction at a local clinic when corporate care is promoted as 100% cashless and fully covered?
6-The fallout is systemic. Independent nursing homes and smaller hospitals face shrinking volumes and non-viable margins. One by one, neighborhood healthcare institutions are being forced to shutter.
7-Once community clinics disappear, corporate monopolies take over. Without local competition, private networks can—and will—raise procedure rates unchecked, knowing patients have nowhere else to go.
8-Insurers will continue approving these escalating corporate costs because corporate branding drives policy sales, passing the total expense directly onto the policyholder.
9-The ultimate consequence for ordinary citizens: your annual health insurance premiums will surge year after year, and you will have no cheaper, viable alternatives left to turn to.
10-This consolidation is already well underway across Tier-1 metros. Unless policy pricing and network equity are regulated, the death of affordable community healthcare will soon sweep Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities as well.
Jainism is a distinct, independent religion — not a sect, branch, or part of any other religion. I really don't understand why for some people it is tough to digest this !
🥔 आलू नहीं खाते, तो मूँगफली क्यों खाते हैं? क्या इसका कारण सिर्फ जमीन के अंदर उगना है? जैन धर्म में आलू जैसे कंदों के त्याग के पीछे सूक्ष्म जीवों और अहिंसा की भावना से जुड़ी मान्यता है, जबकि मूँगफली एक बीज है।
