@itsmeStAbhi 1/5 Thanks for this amazing take. It blew my mind and made we rewatch the main scenes again. I have a slight addition to make.
> Nakulan is not impotent, and Ganga is troubled with trauma. Let me explain.
So a group of people who do not deserve to be in authority, weaponized a brainwashed section of low critically thinking individuals, stole powers, used that to rig the system, and shamelessly held on to purchased power, while everything from harmony to healthcare was destroyed for appeasement. Really, evil stuff. What next?
The greatest living composer of the last 3 decades got attacked and abused (even by people within the industry) for stating an opinion in the politest, mildest manner, that too based on his lived-experience.
And the very next day forced to issue an apology/clarification to calm the toxic mob down.
If any further proof was needed to confirm his hints at the rising divisiveness...

Stop drinking people. You are only ruining your health and paying exorbitant taxes to the government. Nothing good ever comes out of this for you as a consumer.
Unfortunately, this is from India (I guess no surprises) - sorry, long read, but I need to rant.
The relative of the "doctor" (he addresses her as his aunt) took a live video inside the operation theatre where a woman in labour underwent C-section without universal precautions.
No face mask, people without scrubs and masks and gloves inside. Relatives of the woman undergoing the surgery inside the OT watching on in full civilian clothes. A guy across the "doctor" is supposedly the assistant - technical or surgical, no idea. Zero infection control. Cannot see an anaesthetist. If the woman went into shock or any emergencies happen, only these bunch of clowns in the room are available for "advanced medical support."
Now this "doctor" is actually no a doctor, but an Ayurveda practitioner. Ayurveda practitioners are given the title of "Dr." by the Government of India (even Homeopaths, Naturopaths etc are too), making it impossible for the public and patients to separate quacks from real healthcare professionals.
What you see here, is the outcome of the Indian Government's vision for integrating Ayurveda and such pseudoscientific quackery with scientific treatments. Incompetent nincompoops are let lose on the public. This is going to be a disastrous cocktail not for those who can afford medical treatment (because they land up in competent healthcare facilities) but for those people looking for cheaper alternative for treatment and for those who cannot afford realistic treatments. The Government seems to be interested in widening and deepening this healthcare gap rather than finding rational and logical ways to mend it.
Ayurveda has surgery too (but I would not recommend anyone go there). Shalya Tantra is a specialized branch of Ayurveda dedicated to general surgical procedures while Shalakya Tantra focuses on diseases and conditions occurring in the head and neck region, specifically above the collarbone. Postgraduate students (MS degree) in Ayurveda can perform a variety of surgical procedures including general surgery, ENT, ophthalmology, and dental procedures - such as skin grafting, small tumour excision, circumcision, traumatic wound management and dressings, tooth extractions, minor eye procedures etc.
But C-section is not part of what Ayurveda practitioners can do, because such surgical syllabus is not part of their training in this context: https://t.co/vDAuCeY0LP
When the Government itself promotes mediocrity as excellence because they are incompetent in taking the country up through scientific progression, it is the public that ultimately suffer. The same public that elected this Government and such Governments before this one.
I am not saying the current Government is responsible for all of this (they are, for promoting this without shame or concern though) but decades of rule by various Governments is. I have never seen a serious Government that promoted science and spirit of critical thinking and inquiry to the masses in India during my time, which is why we have a huge healthcare gap even now - some of the best treatments are available to people in India, while some people get the worst, like from a third-world country too - like from this Ayurvedic quack promoting herself as an OBGyn.
And then there is that part in the video where the Ayurveda quack's relative mentions that "Every C-section my aunty does, ends up in delivery of a baby boy." This again is a kind of advertisement for this quack's clinic and services where large numbers of educated as well as uneducated people in India have closet [cultural] preference to a male child over a female child. Pregnant women (or their relatives) will now search and find this "doctor" who will deliver a baby boy for them.
If you have read the Ayurvedic texts, you'll notice that there are large sections and chapters in it where measures and practices are discussed to help a woman "bear a boy child" and "not a girl child." Pumsavana is a Hindu ritual described in Ayurveda, traditionally performed during the third month of pregnancy, believed to influence the gender of the child, specifically aimed at ensuring the birth of a male child. The term Pumsavana refers to a process of making something masculine or generation of a masculine. It is a procedure by which the chances of male child birth are increased: https://t.co/4F7E89Ndov
This is systematically taught to students in Ayurveda syllabus too. Tell me how this country will ever evolve or become a super-power? F*cking wishful thinking.
Now somebody tag whoever is in charge of healthcare where this lady quack is working and get them to shut her services so that people can avail better and realistic services.
@Ctrlmemes_ It is not problem Of Virat, it is the administration that allowed this to happen. If they did not have measures to control the crowd they should not have allowed this stupid parade.
The last stampede happened because of a religious event. Then it happened for a film celebrity. Today, it happened for a cricketer.
No one cared, we all forgot. They also didn’t stop, they continued. They are still continuing.
This is your worth in front of these people. Some 2-3 lakhs will be given to the families. That’s about it.
You have one life. One family. Stop being so crazy about events and people who don’t care about your existence. And if you can’t stop, atleast stop taking your kids to such events. They don’t deserve it. They don’t deserve to die because of your madness.
Disheartening to hear about the deaths at stampede in Chinnaswamy.
Good thing is it’s a congress ruled state so media will seek proper accountability and find out who’s responsible
Otherwise, in Kumbha stampede there was no one to Report and in Morbi people were overweight.
