As per Claude:

Adulterated, contaminated or unfit products in India, last 10 years.

2017

Patanjali Amla Juice: a batch failed a lab test and the defence canteens (CSD) suspended its sale. Patanjali said food standards didn’t apply because it is an Ayurvedic medicine.
Patanjali Amla Churna, Divya Gashar Churna, Bahuchi Churna, Triphala Churna, Ashwagandha and Adviya Churna: Nepal ordered their recall after microbial tests.

2018

Coconut oil, 166 brands banned in Kerala: 45 in May, 51 in June and 74 in December. Most were mixed with cheaper oils such as palm oil.
Edible oils across eight types (mustard, sesame, coconut, sunflower, palmolein, soybean, groundnut, cottonseed): a Consumer Voice study found loose coconut oil 85% adulterated.

2020

Honey from Dabur, Patanjali, Baidyanath, Zandu, Hitkari and Apis Himalaya: samples failed the NMR test in a CSE investigation. The brands disputed this.

2022

Maiden Pharmaceuticals’ Promethazine Oral Solution, Kofexmalin, Makoff and Magrip N: linked to child deaths in Gambia. India disputed the link.
Marion Biotech’s Ambronol and DOK-1 Max: contaminated with DEG or ethylene glycol and linked to child deaths in Uzbekistan.

2023

Everest Sambhar Masala and Garam Masala: recalled by the US FDA over salmonella.

2019–2024

Ghee supplied to the Tirupati temple (TTD): mostly palm oil, palm stearin and palm kernel oil, with no animal fat found.

2024

MDH Madras Curry Powder, Sambhar Masala and Curry Powder, and Everest Fish Curry Masala: ethylene oxide was found in these export batches.

2025

Coldrif cough syrup (Sresan Pharma): contained diethylene glycol and was linked to the deaths of at least 20 children in Madhya Pradesh.
Nesto DS cough syrup: sale restricted in Madhya Pradesh.
Spurious batches of Telma-AM, Telma 40, Montina L, Pantop D and Chymoral Forte.

2026

Spurious batches of Telma H.
Spurious ursodeoxycholic acid tablets.
Spurious amoxicillin and clavulanic acid.
Substandard batches of paracetamol, pantoprazole and cefixime.
Substandard batches of telmisartan, diclofenac, levocetirizine-montelukast and azithromycin.
Substandard ibuprofen 400 mg and buprenorphine-naloxone.
Aloe vera, glycerin, Vitamin E soap, jojoba oil and Haridrakhandam: flagged as not of standard quality.
Synthetic milk: a racket in Bhum, Maharashtra.
Analogue paneer: about 40% of samples were unfit.
Eggs: FSSAI sought an explanation from Blinkit over poor-quality complaints.
Food overall, FY26: 40,023 of 2,23,808 samples failed.

Drug flags apply to the specific batches tested, not every pack of a brand.

How did the Great Amitabh Bachchan endorse Gujarat knowing what happened there?

[Congress @INCIndia]

'वोट चोरी' के खिलाफ आवाज उठाने पर अमित शाह की पुलिस ने @nsui की छात्राओं की बर्बरता से पिटाई की।

हिरासत में लेने के बाद पिटाई करते हुए थाने ले गए और वहां बेल्ट और पट्टों से मारा गया।

इस मामले में दोषी महिला कांस्टेबल पर तुरंत कार्रवाई होनी चाहिए।

और दिल्ली पुलिस याद रखे - हम ये भूलेंगे नहीं. मोदी सरकार के इशारे पर की गई इस बर्बरता का हिसाब होगा।

I’d like to thank every single person who came out today for this protest. I'd also like to thank the millions of people who showed support in their own way at 3pm. Thank you to the leaders of INDIA bloc, all the workers of the Congress party and workers of the INDIA bloc.

Today was a very important day because we needed to show the government that the people of India are not going to be intimidated. You cannot beat us, threaten us, frighten us. We will not accept being bullied.

I was wondering where the cowards of the RSS who were beating the young children day before yesterday were. Where were those people? Because I didn’t see them.

When we are standing there and when the people of India are standing there, why don’t you come out? Why don’t you wear your little scarves and come out and see what happens?

Because you’re essentially, like the Prime Minister of India, bullies. You cannot stand up. You can only use power to fight.

So, it’s very heartening to see what happened. I’m proud of everybody. Everybody worked like a team.

As I said in my press conference, there are no parallel protests. It’s one protest, and it’s a protest where everybody is standing together. Every single person is going to stand against these killers of our Constitution, these killers of our democracy. And we’re not going to back down.

I’d also like to thank everybody from civil society organisations who came, supported us. We value your support, and we love all of you.

Thank you all for coming out and defending the idea of India, the idea of the Constitution, the idea of our democracy.

I’m extremely proud of every single person who came out on the streets. Thank you.

आज के इस विरोध प्रदर्शन में शामिल होने वाले हर एक व्यक्ति का मैं दिल से धन्यवाद करना चाहता हूँ। उन करोड़ों लोगों का भी धन्यवाद, जिन्होंने दोपहर 3 बजे अपने-अपने तरीके से इस आंदोलन को समर्थन दिया। INDIA गठबंधन के नेताओं, कांग्रेस पार्टी के सभी कार्यकर्ताओं और INDIA गठबंधन के तमाम कार्यकर्ताओं का भी बहुत-बहुत धन्यवाद।

आज का दिन बेहद महत्वपूर्ण था, क्योंकि हमें सरकार को यह दिखाना था कि भारत की जनता डरने वाली नहीं है। आप हमें मारिए, धमकाइए, डराने की कोशिश कीजिए, लेकिन हम डरने वाले नहीं हैं। हम आपकी गुंडागर्दी बर्दाश्त नहीं करेंगे।

मैं सोच रहा था कि RSS के वो कायर लोग कहाँ थे, जो परसों हमारे युवा साथियों को पीट रहे थे? कहाँ थे वो लोग? आज तो मुझे उनमें से कोई दिखाई नहीं दिया।

जब हम वहाँ खड़े हैं, जब देश की जनता वहाँ खड़ी है, तो तुम बाहर क्यों नहीं आते? अपनी छोटी-छोटी गमछियाँ पहनकर क्यों नहीं बाहर आते हो और देखते हो कि क्या होता है?

क्योंकि तुम भी देश के प्रधानमंत्री की तरह सिर्फ़ गुंडागर्दी करना जानते हो। तुममें सामने आकर खड़े होने की हिम्मत नहीं है। तुम सिर्फ़ सत्ता और ताक़त के दम पर लड़ सकते हो।

इसलिए आज जो कुछ हुआ, उसे देखकर बहुत खुशी होती है। मुझे आप सभी पर गर्व है। सबने एक टीम की तरह काम किया।

जैसा कि मैंने अपनी प्रेस कॉन्फ्रेंस में कहा था, ये अलग-अलग प्रदर्शन नहीं हैं। यह एक ही आंदोलन है, जिसमें हम सब एक साथ खड़े हैं।

हममें से हर एक व्यक्ति संविधान के इन हत्यारों, हमारे लोकतंत्र को कुचलने वालों के ख़िलाफ़ खड़ा होगा। और हम एक कदम भी पीछे नहीं हटेंगे।

मैं उन सभी सिविल सोसाइटी संगठनों का भी दिल से धन्यवाद करना चाहता हूँ, जो आज हमारे साथ आए और जिन्होंने हमारा समर्थन किया। आपके समर्थन की हम कद्र करते हैं। हम आप सभी से मोहब्बत करते हैं।

भारत की सोच, हमारे संविधान के विचार और हमारे लोकतंत्र की रक्षा के लिए आज सड़कों पर उतरने वाले हर व्यक्ति का धन्यवाद।

मुझे उन सभी लोगों पर बेहद गर्व है, जो आज सड़कों पर उतरे।

बहुत-बहुत धन्यवाद!

Manipur is burning again, in last 24 hours, at least 9 dead.

[The Indian Express @IndianExpress]

Hundreds of people were detained at Nana Chowk, near August Kranti Maidan, the historic site from which the Quit India Movement was launched in 1942. The gathering had been called by Tushar Gandhi, Mahatma Gandhi’s great-grandson, in support of the CJP’s demand for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

The ridiculous arguments by Ambani’s army of Internet shills make no sense

On the one hand, they say Starlink couldn’t possibly compete with the amazing low prices offered by Ambani’s de facto monopoly in India and then, in the same breath, they essentially claim that Starlink would be too strong of a competitor! This is absurd hypocrisy and hyperbole.

The reality is that competition would greatly benefit the average citizen in India by giving them more choices, as it always does. Ambani’s profits will be lower, but he is not going out of business. And, obviously, if Starlink is too expensive in India, no one will buy it, so SpaceX will need to make pricing affordable.

This is what happens when you elect a tenth-fail prime minister who has not held a single open press conference since 2014.

[Joe @twospoonsugar]

Sanghis are a clear and present danger to society—in India and in the United States. Nearly every major crisis India and its diaspora face today traces back to the same small circle of Sanghi goons who have seized power and institutions.
The scale of the damage is undeniable. Visa fraud networks have been repeatedly exposed in the US. Adani’s business dealings triggered serious US investigations into bribery, investor deception, and sanctions violations before the cases were settled or dropped. In India, opposition parties have documented mass deletions and irregularities in electoral rolls that the Election Commission has refused to properly address. These are not isolated scandals. They are the operating method.

The period for polite conversations with Sanghi friends and relatives is over. Eyes that still refuse to see the brutality around them will not open through persuasion. The only remaining path is to remove these goons from power, formally designate the RSS and Bajrang Dal as terrorist organisations, and prosecute the police officers and political leaders responsible for the 2020 Delhi riots, the systematic destruction of Manipur, and the repeated detentions of farmers, students, and women.
