#WATCH | Bengaluru, Karnataka: Dr Devi Shetty, Founder and Chairman, Naryana Health says, "Every Indian, at the age of 17 must get the blood test done. This is the guideline now issued by the Cardiology Society of India because if the cholesterol level is high, they can manipulate the diet and all the men at the age of 35 to 40 should undergo a routine test along with CT scan of the heart. Anyone with the family history of heart disease must go for the checkup at the age of 30 itself, not wait for long time. All the diabetics should go for the checkup even earlier than 30 years. It is important that everyone should know their numbers. They should know what their blood pressure is, cholesterol number is, their heart numbers are. Today we find large number of young people getting into extreme sport. Even if you are very young, 17 or 18, if you are going for extreme sport, you must go for a checkup... The best way to know what the cardiac problems are to the test done. As I said, simple tests which can be done within one hour, once a year. If the CT scan is normal, for the next seven years or ten years you don't need to bother..."
A film isn’t a history textbook. It tells a story through one lens and one perspective. Debate it. Critique it. Counter it. Banning it is always counter productive.
But don’t assume Punjab’s hard-won rejection of separatism is so fragile that a film can reverse it!!
I grew up in Punjab during the brutal years of militancy. I remember reading newspaper headlines about buses being stopped and innocent passengers being pulled out and killed. I also remember accounts of young men being picked up, detained and tortured, despite having nothing to do with the movement. Including from my village.
Those memories are precisely why I don’t believe we should become so uncomfortable with difficult chapters of our history that we stop telling stories about them.
I am Javed Ahmad Beigh from India's Kashmir Valley which is part of the Indian Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
Urdu Version :
This is a message of solidarity to my dear Kashmiri brothers and sisters from all ethnic groups of Pakistan Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and from all 10 districts of PoJK, who are gathering together under the banner of Jammu and Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee to lead a Long March towards the "assembly" of PoJK to demand the release of SHAUKAT NAWAZ MIR, the leader of JK-JAAC and others arrested by the puppet police and puppet administration of PoJK under orders of Punjabi Muslim rulers sitting in Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
On behalf of the people of Indian Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, I extend my full solidarity with my brothers and sisters from PoJK who are fighting against the oppression and tyranny of the state of Pakistan and its Punjabi Muslim ruling elite.
I assure you of our complete support and full solidarity in your fight against the brutality of the state of Pakistan and its puppet administration in PoJK.
You are not alone. We the people of Indian Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are standing shoulder to shoulder with you in your fight against the state of Pakistan and its puppet administration in PoJK.
Also, I want to tell my brothers and sisters from PoJK that I, along with other Kashmiris from India's Kashmir Valley would have also taken a Long March from Srinagar's historic Lal Chowk or UNMOGIP office to the LoC in Baramulla, North Kashmir to show our solidarity in your fight against but due to security reasons and threat to my life from Pakistan's ISI and its proxy terrorist organizations like Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Muhammad & TRF operating in India's Kashmir Valley, I couldn't do the same.
But I promise and Allah willing, I will do the same, in the not so distant future.
Allah Nigheban 🤲

To seek asylum in Canada, many Indian Muslims, especially from Hyderabad, use "Hindutva Terror" as a pretext. They present a handful of fiery speeches or media clips of far-right Hindu leaders as evidence, claiming they face life-threatening persecution back home.
Yet, they continue sending money to their families, who carry on with life as usual, enjoying Mandi and Biryani.
More importantly, is it fair to portray an entire nation of 1.4 billion people as persecutors? Is it fair to condemn the very country that gave you equal opportunities, where you were educated, built your career, and gained the means to travel abroad?
If these claims are purposefully fabricated simply to obtain asylum, isn't that deception? And isn't that, ultimately, biting the hand that fed you?
Moreover, incendiary speeches by the far-right often end up achieving the opposite. They become useful tools for those seeking to malign the nation or advance the agenda of adversarial entities.
His name was Brigadier Mohammad Usman.
At Partition, Pakistan wanted him. He was one of the finest Muslim officers in the army, and he was offered seniority and a future in the new Pakistan he could not have dreamed of in India.
He said no.
Twelve days short of his 36th birthday, he died fighting for India instead.
He was born on 15 July 1912 in Azamgarh, the son of a police officer. When he was twelve, a child fell into a well in his village. Usman jumped in and pulled him out. The rope tore his hands open. He carried those scars for the rest of his life.
He trained at Sandhurst, one of the few Indians the British allowed to become officers.
Then came Partition. His regiment, the Baluch, was sent to Pakistan. Almost every Muslim officer went with it. Usman was urged to go too, and offered rank and promotion in the new army.
His answer was simple. He was born in India. He would die in India.
Late 1947. Pakistani raiders poured into Kashmir and took Jhangar, planning to hand it over as a prize. Usman was sent to hold Nowshera.
His own men, raw from Partition, doubted whether a Muslim commander would be loyal. He made "Jai Hind" the greeting of his brigade and swore he would not sleep on a bed until Jhangar was retaken.
6 February 1948. Eleven thousand attackers hit Nowshera from every side. His outnumbered men did not break.
Nearly a thousand of the enemy lay dead by the end. Thirty-three Indians fell. They began calling him the Lion of Nowshera. Pakistan put a bounty of fifty thousand rupees on his head.
3 July 1948. Evening at Jhangar. He had just finished his prayers and was meeting his officers when a shell landed near his post. He died within minutes.
He was the highest-ranking Indian officer killed in that war.
Nehru and his cabinet came to the funeral. Maulana Azad led the prayers. He was given the Maha Vir Chakra. He lies buried at Jamia Millia Islamia in Delhi.
A man who was offered a future in one country, and chose to die for another.
Who were the ancestors of Sikhs? No one forced anything upon Sikhs. In fact, every Hindu family made their first son a Sikh. Bedi, Sodi, Kapoor, Chadha, Chandhok, Sahney, Sethi, Malhotra, Bagga, Bajaj, Anand, Bhasin, Kohli, Sabharwal and so on- were they not Hindus before becoming Sikhs? Sikh Gurus incorporated Hindu teachings and customs in Sikhism.
Beware of Divide & Rule.

@AmarJit_IFS The Government of India accepted the demand, released the prisoners, and Rubaiya Sayeed was freed on 13 December 1989. The incident is widely regarded as a major turning point in the insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir.
@AmarJit_IFS Dr. Rubaiya Sayeed, daughter of Mufti Mohammad Sayeed and younger sister of Mehbooba Mufti, was kidnapped in Srinagar on 8 December 1989 by militants of the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF). They demanded the release of five jailed militants.
"Ram & Krishna appear thousands of times in Guru Granth. How many times does Allah come? Hindu-Sikhs respect each other's daughters but Muslims run 'Kaur to Khan' r@pe gangs for conversion. Sikhs are not close to Muslims. It's a Khalistani lie."
I traveled from Kashmir-Ladakh-Jammu to Kanyakumari, from Kutch to Kohima.
Everywhere the local cuisine was/is excellent. Don't be a slave of your habituated taste buds and insult the food of other regions.
There was a cab driver in Delhi who dreamt every day of becoming an army man. He finally made it on his third attempt & was assigned to the J & K Rifles. Within a year he was in Kargil and there was a war on. On this day, 26 years ago, Rifleman Sanjay Kumar volunteered to lead an attack on Point 4875 in the Mushkoh Valley. When they were pinned down by machine gun fire, Sanjay Kumar jumped out and charged. He took a couple of bullets, reached the bunker, killed all three inside, and then turned their machine gun on the rest of the bunkers and fleeing enemy troops. He was awarded a Param Vir Chakra, one of only seven living winners.
#OpreationBlueStar happened because of #Bhindranwale's mistake ..
. If I were to commit a murder and then hide in your home, and the police came to surround the house where I was hiding, would I allow to police your home to be destroyed ?
I certainly wouldn't let that happen... After all, Sri Harmandir Sahib and Sri Akal Takht Sahib are the abodes of our Guru Sahibs; the faith of millions of people is deeply connected to them.@kukigill2
