@JhaSanjay Thank you raising this - the discussion needs to be mainstream. I'd like to urge people to be kind to animals not as a favor to them but for their own selfish motive - being able to connect with forms of nature is incredibly joyful & a blessing! Lets not waste that!
मुंबई की अनमता अहमद का हाथ करंट लगने से कट गया था,
2024 में गुजरात की 9 साल की रिया मिस्री ब्रेन डेड हो गईं,
रिया के परिवार ने अंगदान किया,
रिया का हाथ अनमता अहमद को ट्रांसप्लांट हुआ,
और तभी से हर साल रक्षाबंधन पर अनमता अहमद रिया के भाई शिवम को रिया के उसी हाथ से राखी बांधती हैं,
यही तो हिंदुस्तान है
जहां धर्म दीवार नहीं बनता बल्कि पुल बन जाता है,
जहां इंसानियत खून से ऊपर है और मोहब्बत मज़हब से बड़ी,
और इसी खूबसूरती को हिंदुस्तान कहा जाता है,
हैप्पी रक्षाबंधन 🎉🎉🎉
Our founder who created the Jhooth ki goonj website has been continuously threatened by Rahul Gandhi’s PR team.
She is just 20 years old. Let this tweet spread and tell everyone what kind of person Rahul Gandhi is.
I am feeling deeply depressed today. The brutal annihilation of the entire Ganesh Chakraborty family is horrifying & yet, so far, not a single liberal, human-rights activist, or leftist has raised their voice in support of Hindus in Bangladesh.
His daughter was due to be married in just a few days. She was allegedly brutally raped, her eyes were gouged out, and acid was poured on her face. The sheer hatred and brutality directed against Hindus is deeply disturbing.
His wife too was raped and subjected to horrific torture. His 12-year-old son was forcibly circumcised. Ganesh himself was brutally killed.
Their only “crime” was that they were Hindus.
What makes this horror even more disturbing is the alleged treatment of the bodies after the killings—acid was reportedly poured over their faces before the bodies were dumped at the foot of the stairs.
The complete destruction of an entire Hindu family cannot simply be dismissed as an ordinary crime. If these reports are established, this would be a horrifying indictment of law and order, minority protection, and the failure of society to protect innocent human beings from communal violence.
Where are the voices that so loudly speak about human rights when the victims are Hindu?
Human rights cannot be selective. Outrage cannot depend on the religion of the victim. If you remain silent when an entire family is allegedly brutalised and killed because they are Hindu, that silence is not neutrality—it is hypocrisy.

What is Brahminical Patriarchy?
Is it distinctly different from patriarchal mindset that exists in other caste and religious identities in every part of India? Asking for a friend.
Also curious if other south Asian countries battling with patriarchal mindset also have a religion or caste identifier for it?
Rahul Gandhi staged a women-empowerment event, lecturing about patriarchy and how Indian women are trapped and oppressed. Behind him? Images of three Hindu women locked in a jail. Not a single Muslim. Not a Christian. Not anyone from any other community. Just three Hindu women.
This while the vast majority of Muslim women in India remain crushed under religious fundamentalists. This while his own family shoves him forward instead of his sister to lead the party. This while his Karnataka cabinet has zero women. This while he keeps recycling the same misogynistic digs at the Italian prime minister. This while the Hindu women are flying jets, destroying targets behind enemy lines, launching space ships and defeating clueless dynasts in their own backyard.
And somehow a crowd of fools still call him a man who respects women.
He’s a fraud who knows exactly how to feed lies and propaganda to low-IQ Indians too dumb to see through it. That’s why India stays stuck. That’s why anyone expecting real progress here is deluding themselves, as long as there are fools that continue to make a leader out of a fraud.
She was standing under a tree in an Assam village when a man cut it down.
9 baby birds fell to the ground in front of her. Some were injured. Some died there.
She stopped her PhD that year and did not go back to it for more than a decade.
Her name is Purnima Devi Barman.
She was born in 1980 in Pub Majir Gaon, a village on the bank of the Brahmaputra in Assam. Her grandmother used to sing to her about the birds in the paddy fields and taught her to tell the different storks apart.
She studied zoology at Gauhati University and began a PhD in 2007 on the greater adjutant stork, which people in Assam call the hargila, meaning bone swallower.
It is one of the rarest storks in the world. It stands about 5 feet tall, it is bald, and it eats carrion and rubbish. In 2007 the number left in Assam was estimated at around 450.
The problem was not poaching. It was that people hated it.
Villagers thought it was dirty, thought it smelled, and thought it was a bad omen. They threw stones at the birds. They cut down the trees the birds nested in, or tried to smoke them out. As one report put it, people would rather cut down their own trees than live near them.
She did not fight the villagers. She worked out that the birds could only be saved if the people around them wanted them there.
So she went to the women.
Her own words about the start of it are worth repeating. Men would dismiss her, she said. The women would laugh at her, but they would invite her into the house, and they would listen.
She held cooking competitions in backyards and talked about the bird while they cooked. She got theatre groups to write plays about it. She had the stork woven into textiles. She organised baby showers for hargila chicks, so that a nesting tree became something a family celebrated rather than something they resented.
She told villagers the bird could have gone to any village in Assam, and it chose theirs.
The women became the Hargila Army. It started small. It now has more than 20,000 members.
Since 2010, she says, not a single nesting tree has been cut in those villages. The women planted 45,000 saplings and rescued more than 500 chicks that fell from nests. Nests in one colony in Kamrup district went from about 30 to over 250.
The stork population in Assam has gone from around 450 to more than 1,800.
In December 2023 the International Union for Conservation of Nature moved the species off the endangered list.
She was given the Whitley Award in 2017 and the Whitley Gold Award in 2024, which people call the Green Oscar. India gave her the Nari Shakti Puraskar. Time named her one of its Women of the Year in 2025.
The women in those villages, who once laughed at her, are now the reason the bird exists.
Can you guess what this number is: 43 crore?
That is 430 million. Not vaccine doses. Not Aadhaar cards. Not UPI txns this time.
That is the number of free doctor consultations delivered by a govt telemedicine platform most urban Indians have never even heard of.
It is called eSanjeevani.....
And it might be the most quietly massive digital health system on the planet, bigger, by consultation volume, than any telemedicine platform any country has ever built, public / private.
Look at how fast this scaled, most people assume govt tech moves at govt speed.
This one did not....
- 2019: platform rolled out, mostly experimental.
- Mid-2020: crossed 3 million consultations, right as COVID lockdowns hit and OPDs across the country shut their doors.
- Within a couple more years: past 120 million.
- By January 2025: past 250 million.
- By November 2025: 430 million.
That is not linear growth. That is a curve that bent hard upward because a health worker sitting in a primary health centre in rural Chhattisgarh, with zero specialists for a 100 KMs, suddenly had a video line straight to a doctor at a district hospital.
How it actually works and why the model is smart:
- It runs on a hub & spoke system. 131,000+ rural health centres (the "spokes") connect to ~17,000 hospital hubs.
- A nurse / health worker at a village level centre does the first line consultation and if it needs a specialist, they do not send the patient on a bus ride to the nearest city. They connect them, live, on video, right there.
- And this is not a niche pilot anymore, 93%+ of all usage runs through this doctor to doctor model, meaning it has become genuine day to day rural healthcare infrastructure, not a COVID-era stopgap.
A few more fascinating data points for people mostly doubting any govt run schemes:
- 57% of beneficiaries are women, the demographic that has historically had the hardest time physically travelling to a city hospital for a routine consultation.
- 12% are senior citizens. This is reaching exactly the population that private telemedicine apps, built for smartphone literate urban users with credit cards, were never going to reach.
1 of the largest single interventions in healthcare access in human history, built quietly, by an Indian govt lab (C-DAC), running almost invisibly in the background of "Digital India" headlines that usually go to UPI and Aadhaar instead.
Bharat is rising. 🙏🙏
Modi govt destroyed the ISI-backed terror group Shahzad Bhatti Network ahead of Independence Day and thwarted its plans for subversive attacks by arresting more than 200 operatives.
Indian security forces ripped apart the network by launching coordinated operations across different locations in 14 states upholding a brilliant example of India's zero-tolerance towards terrorism.
Substantial recoveries, including IEDs, grenades bearing Pakistan Ordnance Factory markings, pistols, live cartridges, and CCTV cameras used for espionage, were made from the ISI-funded group. The network was involved in several terrorist activities.
When India accidentally wiped out its vultures, half a million people died in five years.
The bird doing zoomies in this video runs the most extreme digestive system in the animal kingdom. Vulture stomach acid sits near pH 1, strong enough to destroy anthrax, rabies, and botulism in the carcasses they eat. A flock strips a cow to bone in about 45 minutes.
India had 50 million of them. Free sanitation at national scale, in a country where religious custom means most cattle die natural deaths and every dead cow becomes a carcass someone has to deal with.
Then the patent on diclofenac expired in 1994. Farmers started using the cheap painkiller on livestock. Trace amounts left in a carcass cause kidney failure in vultures. Within a decade, 50 million birds fell to a few thousand. The fastest collapse of any bird species since the passenger pigeon.
The carcasses didn't disappear. Feral dogs took the vultures' place and brought rabies with them. Rotting remains leached into waterways. In districts where vultures once thrived, human death rates rose more than 4 percent. Economists at Chicago and Warwick put the toll at 100,000 extra deaths a year and $69 billion in annual damages.
So yes, the goofy bird sprinting down the walkway is adorable. It's also a disease firewall that evolution spent millions of years building and one generic painkiller nearly erased in ten.
This reel from Roar India Bangalore made my day. So much respect for these caregivers & love for the disabled dogs. I see evil haters loosely use the word euthanasia for healthy dogs & then you see wonderful people making life dignified for the voiceless. #azadiforanimals
