Kudos to them for showing the world how empathetic, effective and efficient leadership looks like. If only.....

According to this map, open defecation and the BJP's electoral success appear to be directly related.

Scammer Prashant Kishore is bullshitting again, allow me to provide one more data point that is quite fascinating.

According to ECI website, BJP's Vote share has been reduced from 37.36% to 36.56% from 2019. And Congress's Vote share has increased from 19.49% to 21.19%.

In 2019 BJP contested on 437 seats and Congress contested 421 seats. However in 2024 BJP contested 441 seats and Congress contested 328 seats.

So, while contesting around 100 less seats, Congress has increased their vote share by 2%. I don't know the statistics, but that appears to be a significant growth. It clearly indicates an upward graph in terms of vote share and popularity.

On the other hand, the BJP's vote share has dropped by around 1% while it contested more seats. This shows that the BJP has reached its peak and Modi is on his way down.

It is time to get rid of Charlatans and Sanghi Snakes like PK. And please do not ignore them. Confront and humiliate them.

It is time to publicly disgrace liars, cheaters, fraudsters scammers, crooks and conmen; it is beneficial to society as a whole.

It’s strange how we don’t learn from history. 45 years to the massacre of innocent women and children in Namibia, nothing changes. News today still is about the murder of innocent women and children, attacks on refugee camps. Geographies change - Nothing else does.

What a brilliantly scathing report from @TheEconomist. Like it or not, this puts India, where the current Govt, which has very little interest in public health, in a very tough place.

Turmeric is the golden spice that you never thought is killing you and your children softly.

"The heart and brain diseases it causes—to which children are especially susceptible—accounted for at least 1.4m deaths in South Asia in 2019."

"Yet adulterated turmeric looks like a major culprit almost everywhere, chiefly owing to poor practice in India, which produces 75% of the spice. India was the source of much of the poisonous pigment found in Bangladesh and is estimated to have the highest incidence of lead poisoning of any country."

And this is excluding potential lead poisoning sources from herbal medicines and supplements that children, adolescents, adults and the elderly consume daily in India.

Bangladesh is winning against turmeric related public health worry because they allowed the work of NGOs with razor sharp focus and empathy towards public health to function without obstacles.

And the Indian Government is busy with other "important" matters while it's citizens and children are left to suffer.

Today, I am thinking of human beings in Gaza buried under the rubble.

I am thinking of their joys, dreams, hopes & fears.

I wonder, if the dust ever settles, whether opponents of a ceasefire will look back and reflect on the cost of their inhumanity.

We need a ceasefire, now.

Dear Indian parents - I found this in today’s newspaper. But this building is no boarding school! It is the seat of the German President in Berlin. Our Rashtrapati Bhavan as it were. There are good boarding schools also in Germany - but here, no child will be admitted 😎.

It’s the cold and deliberate manner in which that armed jawan stood over the bleeding body — like hunter posing with trophy — and pronounced his decree of New India.

And the lamb-like silence of his audience in the vestibule.

Be alarmed, Indians.
