I think all chapters regarding revolutions should be removed from Social Science books so that revolution look like an alien concept to Indian students.

No one considers gariahat to be iconic.

[Bengal Cartel 🔱 @TheBengalCartel]

Good morning Kolkata!

Now the iconic Gariahat, one of the city's most cherished landmarks, is now set to face the bulldozer.

[Gopāla গোপাল @__gaudiya]

Such atrocities will take place in Kolkata too and it will be celebrated by usual suspects.

Victim would be called "Commie", "squatter", "illegal", "public land encroacher" or even "kanglu".

[Simran @SSimrann26]

A 27-year-old woman, the sole breadwinner of her family, now lies in pain with burns on her chest, stomach, and thighs. Her first fear wasn't the pain. It was, "Who will feed my family now?"

She was selling momos on a roadside in Jaipur to support her entire family. According to her statement, during a VIP movement, police allegedly overturned or pushed her cart, causing boiling water to spill onto her body and leaving her severely burnt.

When a poor woman's body becomes collateral damage in the name of VIP movement, we've failed as a society.

If this had happened to someone powerful, there would be immediate suspensions, inquiries, compensation, and nonstop media coverage. But when the victim is a street vendor, her pain becomes just another headline.

She deserves free medical treatment, financial compensation for her injuries and lost income, and a fair investigation that establishes accountability.

A VIP convoy passed in minutes. The scars she carries may last a lifetime.

A road can be cleared without destroying a life.

I respect vegans who avoid eating animals because they genuinely empathise with them.. tats something I personally haven’t been able to do.

But I don’t automatically extend that same moral credit to Indian vegetarianism.

For most Indian vegetarians.. the choice is associated with culture, family tradition n social identity than in concern for animal welfare.

Historically.. food habits have also been used as markers of caste / community.

Even today, questions about whether someone is vegetarian are often asked before renting a home or assessing social compatibility.

So don’t let them claim the moral high ground.

Because giving good food, good education & equal opportunities means there won't be a population desperate to clean their homes, to wash their cars, to hold their kids while they eat, to give them 10-min shopping, and return to India because they don't get waited on abroad.

They removed Preamble of India, and the word secular/secularism from NCERT book and instead added about emergency. Priorities. Ofcourse he got a birthday wish and praises, despite such massive fuckup and so many student deaths.

[Bengal Cartel 🔱 @TheBengalCartel]

In Jadavpur Kolkata Bajrang Dal has started threatning meat sellers to stop selling meat

This is how vigilante politics enters everyday life. From shops, to your plate, to your choices. Bengal has always celebrated diversity. Is this the Parivartan Bengalis voted for?

Next target of the Sangh: Kolkata Book Fair

A new organisation (obviously saffron leaning) has suddenly cropped up which will be organising the book fair from next year instead of the Publishers and Booksellers Guild

Now, prepare for a saffronised book fair

[Venkat Reddy @Venkat_R_]

We should fight this besan maida mafia. After eggs they will go after chicken.

[Aarti Tikka @AartiTikka]

Modi has removed the French and Russian revolutions from Class 9 NCERT books.

Your children will never understand the concepts of liberty, revolution, and capitalist and elitist loot.

Your children will be left as slaves without ownership of any land, car or house.

Your Children will forever be monitored like cattle.

There will be no such thing as privacy.

Your children will beg modern kings for two meals a day.

And then they will say, 'Hamara Raja Kaisa Ho, Fala Fala Jaisa Ho'

Enjoy Amritkaal!

[Puram @puram_politics]

One of the most pernicious effects of caste is, the first rule of life everywhere else in the world - do not be a hindrance to others - is not the norm in India.

Every bit of India's ugliness l, I'd argue, is a downstream consequence of this.

[Edgar Ekhon Thepla @poeticlieshensh]

Also on the matter of the removal of eggs from Midday meals: Its not just eggs.
Bengal midday meal scheme also included fish and chicken on special occasions, festivals, etc. So its a significant shift from non vegetarian to vegetarian

[Laughster @laughin96]

This is a terrible graph. No axis, no label, no source for the data. Absolutely nothing.

[Chris Klomp @chrisklomp]

Are you really that dumb?

[Darab Farooqui @darab_farooqui]

Thank you for giving me an opportunity to talk about ISKCON and Akshaya Patra.

The claim that 'no one ever had issues' is simply untrue.

ISKCON's meals have been fought over for more than a decade.

In Karnataka, the Right to Food campaign and the Jan Swasthya Abhiyan formally wrote to the government in 2018 asking it to terminate the Akshaya Patra midday meal contract, arguing the organisation was imposing its religious beliefs on children.

Akshaya Patra refused to add onion and garlic despite a state directive, and threatened to pull out of its contract.

Children there complained the food was bland and ate less of it.

So here goes the tasty meal argument for a toss.

It goes further...

A 2015 CAG report found that 187 samples of ISKCON-prepared meals failed to meet prescribed standards, with negative feedback from 75% of children and teachers, and that less foodgrain was served than required.

In Andhra Pradesh, the foundation openly defied a National Institute of Nutrition directive making eggs mandatory.

And in Chandigarh, the education department found ISKCON's no-onion-no-garlic food unpalatable and did not award it the contract at all.

In Odisha, the state had to quietly arrange for schools to source and boil eggs separately just to work around the ban.

So the objection is not new and not invented for Bengal. The same fight has run in Karnataka, Andhra, Odisha, Chandigarh, for years.

But why is it louder in Bengal?

Two reasons.

First, Bengal is one of the most non-vegetarian states in India, where fish and egg are not optional extras but the core of how people eat.

Second, this is a brand new government removing an egg that was already being served.

You notice a thing more when it is taken away from you than when it was never offered. That is not propaganda. That is people defending food that was already on their children's plates.

[Niks- voice of reason , busts myths & propaganda @niksindian]

@vajrayudha11 Cooked daal with rice in other plate gives atleast 9-10 gm protein ? needs 150-200 gm of pure daal without rice. Dont spread lies .
An average adult feels full stomach if he consumes 250 gm of any food . Ask any caterer they will tell you how they plan buffet .Kids are underfed

[🇦🇷🇧🇷 @edgeandgonee]

Virat Kohli was a non vegetarian for years until he could afford a highly elite nutrition team, a personal chef and a diet which would probably costs more per week than what most of the Indians earns in a year. Don't get fooled by vegcucks of internet and start eating eggs🥚

[Prodigal Son @nongratadesi]

In a government school (typically 0 accountability), lentils aka daal will end up being 80% warm water and 20% lentils. Eggs are harder to adulterate.

Petition to increase the fee to ₹3000 and directly transfer ₹500 to the constable doing verification. This will save users time and hassle.
