@AmbedkariteLM Didn't this happen

By extension of Bharti's pathetic logic can't we say Indians were filling the granaries of the empire and were not able to feed themselves.
@AmbedkariteLM If extinction is the only proof of oppression,then by that logic Britishers and Mughals are all kind hearted people and didn't oppress Indians and Hindus...Why do we all cry on these noble rulers.
Shame on him
Sri Lanka reached a historic milestone as Parliament voted 154–2 to scrap the 49-year-old law providing pensions to Members of Parliament. This decision marks a major shift toward fiscal accountability, answering public calls for reform. By eliminating these lifelong perks, the government is signaling a new era that puts national development ahead of political privilege.
*we also wish similar law in India*
“You can’t just Make in India by using science done elsewhere.
If you truly want to rise, you must first discover, then invent, and only then make.”
This was the message David Gross, a 𝗡𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗲–𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘀𝘁, delivered to India during an event in Bengaluru.
And this wasn’t an 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲.
Gross played a key role in establishing one of 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮’𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS), Bengaluru.
He understands India’s scientific ecosystem from the inside.
According to him, India has immense talent.
In fact, he noted that 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 and faculty.
And yet, despite this vast talent pool, India is falling further behind in global scientific progress.
One major reason is India's low investment in R&D
--------------------------
For years, Acharya Prashant has been reminding us of what many global voices are only beginning to echo today.
And the problem is not just funding.
The deeper crisis is the 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 that genuinely 𝗻𝘂𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿.
Instead of encouraging inquiry, reasoning, and critical thinking in our homes and schools, we are witnessing a growing 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗽𝘀𝗲𝘂𝗱𝗼𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀.
This very mindset once kept India subjugated under foreign rule.
If we want to change the picture, we must invest in building a culture where science, research, rationality, and above all, real wisdom can flourish.
Otherwise, India risks remaining merely a 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗽 𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗿 and a consumer market for others, never a true leader in knowledge.
This doctor showed what true medical service looks like!
A few days ago in Uttar Pradesh, 𝟯-𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿-𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗞𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗸 𝘀𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁.
He fell 𝟮𝟬 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲, and an 𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗼𝗱 𝗽𝗶𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗱 through his shoulder and skull.
The situation was critical. His family rushed him to a private hospital, where the surgery cost was quoted at ₹15 lakh.
But Kartik’s father is a 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿.
For him, ₹15 lakh wasn’t just expensive, it was impossible.
So, with the 𝗿𝗼𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗼𝗱𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗻’𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆, he carried him to King George’s Medical University (KGMU), Lucknow.
That’s where Dr. Ankur Bajaj, neurosurgeon, and his team stepped in.
The case was extraordinarily complex.
The rod had pierced right through Kartik’s head, making it impossible to 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗵𝗶𝗺 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲.
But the doctors didn’t give up.
After meticulous planning, Dr. Bajaj and his team carried out a 𝟯.𝟱-𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿 long 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲-𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘆, and successfully removed the rod.
The cost? Around ₹25,000.
This story is a reminder of 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀.
For millions of Indians, high private hospital bills mean 𝗻𝗼 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 at all.
And even when they somehow manage to pay for it, many families are pushed 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝗯𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗽.
Yet India spends 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝟯% 𝗼𝗳 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗚𝗗𝗣 𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵, which is considered very low globally.
------------------------
Acharya Prashant often reminds us that in a democracy, leaders move only when the electorate pushes them to.
Meaningful change in 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲, 𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 is impossible unless citizens first recognise the urgency and demand action.
And that’s the truth.
If people remain indifferent, good public hospitals and doctors like Dr. Bajaj will continue to be 𝗿𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, instead of 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗺.
