@WorlikarHemangi@AGSawant@AUThackeray at Adarsh Nagar we are constantly facing powercuts. This has become regular issue. Twice a week powercut. Even Thane doesn't have powercuts.
The Indore tragedy is shocking, unless you know the past cases here.
By the mid-2000s, Madhya Pradesh had become a testing ground where poor patients including children who were treated as human guinea pigs by a nexus of doctors and pharma companies.
In 2011, the Madhya Pradesh Economic Offences Wing informed the state assembly that 76 illegal clinical trials were conducted on 3,307 unsuspecting people between 2006–2010 at Indore’s major government institutions -
MGM Medical College,
Chacha Nehru Bal Chikitsalaya Evam Anusandhan Kendra,
The medicine and neurology departments of MY Hospital.
Nearly half of the subjects were children. These experiments involved drugs for COPD, pulmonary arterial disease, asthma, cardiovascular illnesses, and cancer.
The report said many people died (min 32) during this period because of the illegal clinical trial of medicines.
It also said the drugs have maimed for life 49 other "human guinea pigs", who unknowingly "volunteered" for the experiments. has named six Indore doctors in its report for the appalling act.
This report named 6 Doctors who hand in gloves with the Big Pharma Companies earned 5.10 crores by these trials.
Following this after a huge public and media uproar the Govt charged 12 doctors, including six involved in the trials on mentally ill patients, and they were were fined just Rs.5000/ (💀) each for not informing the parent hospital about the conduct of the trials and for ignoring protocols. Don't believe it? You have Google Mama. ☺️
And who exposed this?
Anand Rai, a doctor and public health activist from Madhya Pradesh.
He was the whistle-blower who exposed the illegal clinical trials on poor, children, and mentally ill patients. He documented the absence of informed consent, protocol violations, and the nexus between certain doctors and pharmaceutical companies.
But speaking the truth came at a heavy cost. Instead of protection, Rai faced years of harassment, repeated inquiries, and professional isolation by the state, even arrest.
This sustained persecution ultimately led to his termination from service in 2024, sending a stark warning about the price of whistle-blowing in a state like MP.
However, these revelations triggered judicial action. In 2013, the Supreme Court of India, in Swasthya Adhikar Manch vs Union of India, laid down strict clinical-trial rules—mandatory informed consent, independent ethics oversight, trial registration, and compensation for injury or death—centering patient safety and dignity in medical research.

He forced public scrutiny of unethical human experimentation disguised as research. What he received in return was predictable. In India, ethics, honesty and conscience in public service come at a price and only a few can afford to pay it.
A Pune employee working at Schlumberger (SLB) was diagnosed with cancer during an annual company health check-up. He claims he was then fired while undergoing treatment and has now begun a hunger strike demanding justice. He also says his medical cover was stopped and false project-loss reasons were used for termination. The case has raised serious questions about workplace ethics and employee rights.

Pankaj Dhir is no more. Unlike most members of the principal cast, he was a consummate deracinated urban-educated Mumbai boy whose knowledge of sanskrit/tantsam hindi as well as the epic itself was practically non-existant, and had to learn it on the go as shooting began. But not a single dialogue or frame shows either the linguistic handicap or lack of understanding of character.
Karna wasn't a pleasant man, but Dhir's portrayal was indeed pleasing to the eyes. So much so that when the episode of Karna's killing was aired, a tribal town in Bastar, Chhattisgarh (then undivided Madhya Pradesh), which apparently worships Karna, erupted into riots. Dheer had to be flown in from Bombay by government helicopter and then was accompanied by government escorts to the site of protest to quell it.
Many tv actors have been awarded the epithet "TV ka Amitabh", Ronit Roy and Mukesh Khanna most notable of them, but Dhir's Karna is the only one I've seen worthy of it by any stretch of imagination. The silent, sullen demeanor of Vijay, brooding, tall silhouette, smouldering look in the eyes, the perpetual justification of inexcusable criminal behavior by undeniable emotional trauma and snubs to ego in childhood and adolescence, and willingness to die fighting and leave both friends and foes miserable behind rather than let go of ego-investment in memories of suffering and live and let live a happy life- all were mirrored in Karna. Interestingly, Karna's bow was also named Vijaya.
Radheya wanted to be remembered gloriously in history more than anything else. Dhir made sure no one would ever forget him. #Stolen
Om Shanti 💐
Did you know, in 2007, Congress Govt itself labelled Sonam Wangchuk as a threat to national security?
Congress Govt had alleged that he misused FCRA funds and had links with China.
Today, he has become a “revolutionary” for Congress and their IT Celliya like @dhruv_rathee.
One of the appointees of Mohammad Hamid Ansari to the erstwhile Rajya Sabha TV. Inhone apne maqsad nahi badle hain, bas "strategy" badli hai. Peace until everyone becomes "peaceful". Jo peaceful nahin bane, they will Rest in Peace.
Look at the kind of propaganda Indian media spreads on behalf of Pakistan, without even verifying. Whether it's intentional or not, you decide.
They deleted it after my reply.
