Absolutely love the random placement of 'only' by Indians in a sentence.

As the ICJ case is today brought by South Africa against Israel for its genocide in Gaza, it feels kinda personally and politically relevant to the small part of Ireland I grew up in.

The National Medical Commision of India, the apex "scientific" body that regulates medical education and medical professionals has silently dropped the Ashoka State Emblem from it's logo, replacing it with an image of the Hindu God Dhanvantri, the embodiment of pseudoscientific Ayurveda, thus signaling the shameless entry of India into the inner circle of pseudoscience Hell.

If the NMC Members in charge of this abomination has some shame, they'll change the logo to a more secular one...one that does not embrace pseudoscientific beliefs, driven by religion and faith, but by science and rationality. Some shame at least.

We live in a highly patriarchal society. I hv done around 200 kidney transplants. My findings in my series:
1. Around 80-90 % of Kidney Transplant Recipients are men. When a woman develops ESRD( Kidney Failure), it is very hard to find a Kidney donor, among the relatives.
2. In my entire career, not even a single husband came forward to donate his Kidney to his sick wife, & save her life.
3. When a woman is a Kidney recipient, the person who donates is usually a sister or daughter, or mother.
4. Most women r ready to offer their kidneys to their ailing husbands to save his life. The converse never happens.
5. There was once an extreme case, when a 19 yr old legal wife, donated her Kidney to her 45 yr old husband. After the Tx, I was casually talking to her. Her story was bizarre. This was her elder sister's husband. Just for Tx, the entire family had planned it carefully. The husband divorced his wife, & the 19 yr old girl was beaten fr days to marry the 45 yr old man, since her Kidney was a perfect match.
So, a simple survey of Kidney Tx recipients & donors exposes how deeply patriarchal, misogynistic, our rotten society is.
Scratch the veneer of democracy, modernity in India, & u find that underneath, we are still a feudal, casteist, misogynistic, patriarchal community.

@spngegaming @HDFCBank_Cares @HDFC_Bank Hi! Country of destination is the country from which your funds originated, that's why you can't pick India in that list. Hope this helps!

@swethasridhar92 Couldn't agree more. How unfortunate that we must celebrate the bare minimum. But so happy you found someone who doesn't leave you feeling traumatized ❤️
We deserve better healthcare!

Someone has to say it: Elon Musk has lied for 27 years about his credentials. He does not have a BS in Physics, or any technical field. Did not get into a PhD program. Dropped out in 1995 & was illegal. Later, investors quietly arranged a diploma - but not in science. 🧵1/

Can't believe I missed this cultural phenomenon

So @singing_puffer showed me a bedsheet, and I said "that belongs to #bedsheettwitter"

Then she asked me "what is bedsheet twitter?" and here we are.

One after the other, they are trying to normalise the ban on Hijab. Students from all over India should stand in solidarity with these courageous women!
