I use Nudge Theory to Nudge India towards more positive social outcomes. Currently nudging the Indian Middle Class to vote. Parody,Sarcasm,Satire,Irony,Insults.
FinalL! Wish @RGWayanadOffice and the rest of I.N.D.I.A as real questions like this instead of pointing our differences in policy like a bulletin board.
Indians have nothing like the Ten Commandments. Nothing is objective in their minds. They cannot differentiate between what you consider to be sins and virtues. They might package what they do using English terms for acceptablity.
India has always faced some communal disturbance or the other since we became free in 1947, but never to the extent of hate and divide we have seen since 2014, funded and supported by the Govt.
It doesn’t take ED to figure out who Adani short sellers are - Hindenberg themselves said they are one.
What ED needs to investigate is illegal fund flow to Adani related parties & likely benami FPI holdings.
One of the main planks that Modi has used to foster his fascist agenda is trade washing and the silence of the US administration. But then we have @VivekGRamaswamy who uses BJP tropes to attack "leftists" and "minorities" too.
"Hindu supremacy is causing a widening tear in India’s secular fabric—hate crimes against religious minorities such as Christians & Muslims are increasingly commonplace & hate speech against them is even more rampant." That is harming India's global image. https://t.co/QLvoaf449f

Unless RG and I,N.D.I.A insist on international observers for the GE, the opposition will continue to sit in the basement. the EVMs will rout the opposition. A simple majority is enough.
*"Massive Shift in Online Polls Reflects Changing Political Winds: Rahul Gandhi Gains Momentum"*
In a surprising turn of events, online polls conducted across various social media platforms indicate a significant shift in public sentiment towards the INDIA alliance, led by Rahul Gandhi. What was once a domain dominated by the BJP and its allies has now witnessed a remarkable surge in support of the opposition, a development that could signal a broader change in political dynamics in the country.
Traditionally, social media platforms had been strongholds for the BJP, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi consistently enjoying a considerable advantage in online polls. However, recent trends show a stark departure from the norm, as Rahul Gandhi and his INDIA alliance consistently emerge victorious in these virtual showdowns.
Notably, even channels affiliated with the BJP, such as Aaj Tak, ABP News, and NDTV, have been conduits for these online polls, further highlighting the magnitude of this shift. The decisive victories of Rahul Gandhi in these platforms suggest a growing resonance of his messaging and a burgeoning disillusionment with the incumbent government.
Political analysts have been quick to point out that these digital outcomes may be indicative of larger sentiment shifts on the ground. Such a substantial reversal in poll results can not be solely attributed to orchestrated campaigns or internet activism. It seems that the public's engagement in these online polls might mirror their growing engagement with political issues at large.
Rahul Gandhi's ability to rally a significant base of online supporters demonstrates a changing political landscape, one in which the traditional dichotomy between the BJP and opposition parties might be evolving. The narrative of NDA versus the people of India gains traction as Rahul Gandhi positions his alliance as the embodiment of the people's will, a sentiment amplified by his triumph in online polls across various channels, including those traditionally aligned with the ruling party.
While some skeptics might dismiss these online polls as mere digital chatter, it's hard to ignore the underlying current of public sentiment they appear to represent. The era where the BJP held a monopoly over digital spaces seems to be fading, replaced by a newfound energy behind Rahul Gandhi and his alliance. This shift, if substantiated at the ballot box, could pave the way for a more competitive and vibrant democratic landscape.
It's my religious belief that this was originally a temple in Oxford. Aurangzeb and Queen Victoria conspired & made it a library of Oxford University. I demand excavation to reveal the temple under it. Please don't hurt my religious sentiment by throwing historical facts at me.
Should you trust alternative medicine practitioners?
The answer is a resounding NO. And here is an example.
Trivandrum, Kerala-based Ayurveda practitioner Vaidya (not Dr.) Rekha Radhamony misleads her >100K followers on Instagram with an extremely dangerous anti-science narrative. Such narratives sow seeds of mistrust in science-based medicine among patients and general population.
It generates chemophobia (that all modern medicines are chemicals), inculcating the false notion that everything "natural and herbal" are safer and primal practices are effective. This helps Ayurveds and such practitioners sell their practices and products to people.
AYUSH practititioners deceive themselves first, through a study course that stuns their critical thinking centers and makes them sheeple when it comes to following dogmatic practices on healthcare. They stop questioning. They stop thinking logically. They lose rationality. They become pithed frogs on a tray waiting for controlled animation.
Ayurveda/Homeopathy are like a religion. The practitioners become members of a cult. Their only aim is to protect the religious/dogmatic principles and practices of the cult and its members and have zero concerns and are insensitive towards patients and their families.
This results in FIVE major issues:
1. Patients get misdiagnosed and disease worsen.
2. Patients receive wrong treatments for correct diagnoses and develop disease-related complications.
3. Patients develop severe complications related to toxicity and adverse events of untested, unregulated alternative medicines.
4. Patients end up spending more for their required timely treatments due to initial mistreatment and falsely believe that modern medicine is expensive.
5. Patients die - terribly - avoidable deaths.
Practices such as Ayurveda are deeply flawed - from every perspective you look at it. The practitioners are empty vessels, they make background noise, they cannot diagnose, treat, and do not have a protocol for follow-up and has no knowledge, practice or methods to identify adverse effects within their treatments.
Homeopathy is even worse - if a patient develops worsening of disease due to diluted treatments, or a side effect of the treatment, they consider it "Homeopathic aggravation" - where they are taught and believe that eveyrthing good happens after a period of worsening. Even if the patient dies, Homeopaths would not be able to understand that the person is dead, because Homeopathic practice is inherently a brain-dead practice.
Practices such as Ayurveda escape the scientific method and shy away from realistic testing and rigorous trials - because they sure-shot fail. When the evidence is lacking, then how can they sell?
In this video, "the primal and primitive dogmatism of healthcare" indoctrinated Vaidya Rekha does exactly that. She confirms that Ayurvedic practice is garbage-worthy & cowardly and sticks to 5000 year old nauseating and utterly nonsense principles that refuse change and runs away from scrutiny. Following such practices is extremely harmful and this WILL lead to avoidable loss of life.
The biggest strength of science-based medicine and medical science is that it is humble in its principles. Every new and effective finding is embraced and old findings are discarded. Every wrong is made right, in due course. Every wrong is identified - there is a strong machinery in place. Every doctor will appreciate the flaws and change for the better. It is nowhere like the stupid alternative medicine which is adamant and anti-human and anti-health.
Scientific medicine does not fear change, does not fear acceptance of mistakes and does not invest and emote with the past.
Everything is futuritic and everything is for the people.
Make NO mistake.
Ayush practices are cultish, and for the deceptive livelihood of the person practicing.
Scientific practices are humanistic, and not for a person, but for the people.
