பிறகு திரு. உதயநிதி ஸ்டாலின் அவர்களின் பேச்சைக் கேட்டேன்...

[Chinmayi Sripaada @Chinmayi]

If men in politics could just focus on actual issues instead of dragging women who have nothing to do with their scheme of things - it would be stellar.

The reason abusive motor mouths like DMKs Shivaji Krishnamurthy could speak so vulgarly on political platforms is because he was encouraged to do so. Not once, but several times till he was expelled.

I didn’t understand what the purported underlying meaning of what the LoP of Tamilnadu said someone known to me explained a while ago. I thought it was about a water connection. Turns out most women didn’t get it. It was a Bro thing.

The least he could have done was tell his audience to pipe down or tell them to behave better, but he went ahead to say something far worse.

It is of course, very easy for anyone in this ecosystem to say if we applied a crass meaning, it is our fault and that our thinking is crass, but I am old enough to remember how the very same ecosystem used to refer and speak about the late Honble CM Jayalalitha.

The older generations profanity was normalised; enough reels are now making the rounds on some collated speeches of senior politicians from the past - but someone in the younger generation is expected to be better, not profanely worse.

What a disappointment.

Women are not outraged enough -

In rage.
And in solidarity.

[Prof. Krishnamurthy V Subramanian @SubramanianKri]

If we do not reject Ramanujan's theorems because Devi came and gave them in his dreams, why shud we reject a research question on Gomutra? A detailed post responding to the comments on my original post.

My six questions to @priyankagandhi, @INCIndia and @RahulGandhi remain unanswered. Instead, much of the response has been an invitation to drink a glass of gomutra. That completely misses the issue under discussion.

Let me state clearly the principle I am defending, because it is not the one being attributed to me.

The issue is not whether every claim originating in Hindu tradition is true. The issue is whether such a claim may be dismissed as superstition solely because of its origin. That is the genetic fallacy: a mistake the philosophy of science discarded nearly a century ago.

Hans Reichenbach, one of the founders of modern philosophy of science, drew the distinction that governs this debate in Experience and Prediction (University of Chicago Press, 1938): the context of discovery versus the context of justification. How an idea arises belongs to psychology, biography or history. Whether it is true is an entirely different question, answered only through evidence and testing. Karl Popper made the same point in The Logic of Scientific Discovery (1934): the origin of a hypothesis may interest the psychologist, but it is irrelevant to the logical evaluation of scientific knowledge.

Origin carries no epistemic weight, neither negative nor positive.

Kekulé said the ring structure of benzene came to him in a dream of a snake biting its own tail. The structure remains in every chemistry textbook; no one proposes discarding it because of its provenance.

Closer to home, Srinivasa Ramanujan said many of his formulae were revealed by the Goddess Namagiri of Namakkal. Hardy did not ask where the ideas came from. He checked the mathematics. That was the only thing that mattered. Science has operated on that principle ever since.

That is the whole of my case. Check the work. If you would not reject Ramanujan's theorems because a Hindu deity appears in his account of them, do not reject a research question for the same reason. Equally, do not accept one for that reason either.

The history of pharmacology makes this principle unmistakable. In 1970, screening a fourth-century Chinese medical text for antimalarial compounds would have seemed absurd to many Western pharmacologists. Tu Youyou did it anyway. The result was artemisinin, saving millions of lives and earning the 2015 Nobel Prize. Foxglove gave us digoxin. Willow bark gave us aspirin. French lilac gave us metformin. Roughly half of approved small-molecule drugs are natural products or their derivatives. Traditional knowledge is a source of hypotheses, not a substitute for evidence. The scientific method exists precisely to determine which hypotheses survive and which do not.

Nor is research on cow urine devoid of scientific investigation. There are already peer-reviewed studies reporting antimicrobial and antifungal activity, bio-enhancing effects, antidiabetic effects in animal models, stem-cell and oxidative stress effects, and agricultural applications. Whether one ultimately agrees with the findings is a matter for scientific debate. But once a hypothesis is being investigated through peer-reviewed experimental research, calling it "unscientific" is simply incorrect. The relevant scientific question is whether the evidence is robust, reproducible, and sufficient, not whether the hypothesis originated in a Hindu tradition.

On the objection that a computer scientist has no business discussing microbiology: a computer scientist is not a microbiologist, just as a Nobel laureate in economics is not a physicist. There is, however, an important distinction between adjudicating pharmacology (which requires domain expertise) and judging whether a research question is scientifically admissible (which is a question of scientific methodology). Every trained researcher understands how to formulate hypotheses, evaluate evidence, distinguish correlation from causation, assess experimental design, and interpret results. On pharmacology we defer to specialists. On methodology, every serious researcher is competent to speak. What nobody is entitled to do is settle either question by ridicule.

On the objection that there is no approved drug, therefore the research is invalid: every approved medicine was once merely a hypothesis under investigation, and most hypotheses fail. That is not a flaw in science; it is how science progresses. The absence of an approved product tells you where a line of inquiry currently stands—not whether it was worth investigating. The proper question is whether the published evidence justifies further investigation. That is answered by reading the evidence, not by pointing to an empty shelf.

On the surveys and newspaper reports being circulated as refutation: a survey measures what people believe. It is vulnerable to sampling bias, selection bias, framing effects, response bias, and social desirability bias. It establishes nothing about biology. Likewise, a newspaper article reporting a controversy is journalism, not scientific evidence. Opinion and reportage answer different questions from experimental science. Confusing them with evidence of biological efficacy, or inefficacy, is a basic methodological error.

Finally, on the question I've been asked most often in ad hominem attacks if I would drink gomutra. My calm response: that is the wrong question.

Faecal microbiota transplantation is an established treatment for recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection, with FDA-approved products available since 2022. Captopril, which transformed the treatment of hypertension, was developed from the venom of a Brazilian pit viper. Botulinum toxin, which is one of the most potent toxins known, is used therapeutically worldwide. Maggot debridement therapy has long been part of modern wound care. In every case, the criterion was controlled evidence of safety and efficacy, not aesthetic comfort or cultural familiarity.

Science progresses by testing hypotheses, not by mocking them. Equally, science does not accept hypotheses because they are ancient, traditional, or culturally meaningful. It accepts or rejects them on the basis of evidence alone.

That is the scientific temper I am defending.

Meet Padmashri V Kamakoti

- MS in CSE from IIT Madras
- ⁠PhD in CSE from IIT Madras
- ⁠Specialisation in the area of Computer-architecture,Information security and VLSI design
- ⁠Recipient of DRDO Academic Excellence Award
- ⁠Recipient of Indian Electronics and Semiconductor Association Techno Visionary Award
- ⁠Recipient of ACCS Life-time achievement award
- ⁠Recipient of IBM faculty award
- ⁠Recipient of VASVIK Industrial Research Award

And Priyanka Gandhi whose whole existence revolves around her family- casually called this genius as Gomutra Expert.

Did Prof V. kamakoti make any crime that he stayed in India and now interested to solve India’s problems while being respectful to his roots?

Priyanka Gandhi definitely can’t understand because neither her roots are from India nor her family ever solved any problem of India.

[BRADDY @braddy_Codie05]

Priyanka Vadra has abused a Highly Accomplished and Recognised Scientist Prof Kamakoti. Apart from all his achievements like 150 research papers published in international journals and
Led Nearly 50 Research and Development projects Sponsored by Government and Industries. Above all he is a member of the NSAB (National Security Advisory Board) and is key person of Interest in leading Strategic Advanced Computation Projects right from Chairman of the Artificial Intelligence Task Force Constituted by Ministry of Commerce that means he is working on AI Integration with Industries to increase Smart and Intelligent Manufacturing and since he is a Member of NSAB (National Security Advisory Board) he might be Heading Several other Confidential Computation Projects of Strategic importance for National Security. Had someone done what Priyanka Vadra has done in some other Country Hurling Filthy abuses like “Gaumutra” Jibe to hurt the Religious Sentiments and Abusing a renowned Scientist she would have been subjected to Impeachment. But this happens only in India that she won’t be facing any consequences because if Government does anything Opposition will Again not let Parliament Function and perhaps this is the only Reason why she has said such Provocative Things and even if she faces an Impeachment she will return back from a Pathetic Constituency like Wayanad that literally Washes feet of this Corrupt Family and drinks it as some kind of Offering.

[Akhilesh Mishra @amishra77]

To all those who think let us teach BJP a lesson - @priyankagandhi gave us a glimpse of what awaits us if the dynasty comes near power ever again.

Abusing and besmirching a world respected Professor only because he believes in Hinduism and is not a deracinated commie.

If this is the fate of a IIT Director what awaits you who are a mere Twitter (X) expert.

***********

The hate for anything Hindu is not an aberration but a default setting of the Congress party in the grips or Sonia Gandhi family.

[Prof. Krishnamurthy V Subramanian @SubramanianKri]

A few questions for Ms. @priyankagandhi, @INCIndia & @RahulGandhi:

1. As an IITian, I ask - what scientific or academic expertise qualifies you, Ms. @priyankagandhi, to mock the research of the Director of @iitmadras, one of India's foremost scientific institutions?

2. As a research scholar, I find Prof. V. Kamakoti's credentials speak for themselves. What are yours to pass judgment on his scholarship (other than being born into a political dynasty)?

3. Have you actually read Prof. Kamakoti's work before caricaturing him? If so, which part of his research do you disagree with, and on what evidence?

4. Since when did the cultural or religious origin of a scientific hypothesis become grounds for ridicule? Aspirin traces its origins to willow bark, artemisinin emerged from traditional Chinese medicine, and many modern drugs began as traditional remedies. Science tests hypotheses... it doesn't mock them because of where they originate.

5. Is ridiculing distinguished scholars @INCIndia's idea of promoting Viksit Bharat as envisioned by PM @narendramodi?

6. Why does @INCIndia so often reserve its derision for ideas associated with Hindu traditions? Would the same standard of mockery be applied to beliefs rooted in any other faith?

India's scientists and scholars deserve better than ridicule. They deserve evidence-based debate.

[Bharat Petroleum @BPCLimited]

BPCL has examined the claims circulating on social media regarding ants congregating around vehicle fuel filler caps and their alleged association with E20 petrol.

Fuel-grade ethanol used for petrol blending is produced through fermentation and distillation processes that eliminate residual sugars from the final product. Further, fuel ethanol contains denaturants, which are repellent to insects.

Upon blending, the characteristic hydrocarbon odour of petrol remains dominant over any inherent ethanol odour.

In addition, ethanol-blended petrol exhibits lower fuel vapour formation compared to conventional petrol. As a result, there is no identifiable attractant associated with E20 fuel that would cause ants or other insects to congregate around vehicle fuel caps.

Therefore, claims suggesting a link between E20 fuel and ant attraction have no scientific basis.

The claims being circulated on social media are baseless and are not supported by scientific evidence.

last year in March a friend of mine was migrating to aus for good
so he decided to sell his 3 bed villa in pune and listed it for 2.8 cr

a broker called and told hm he will sell his villa for no commission immediaty at 2.8, but if he waits a few months he will sell the same villa for 4.3 CR . all he has to do is pay him 30L and balance 4 CR is for my friend.

my friend argued that 2.8CR was the market trend, but the agent convinced him.

he also told him to take down his listing immediately. my friend agreed

the broker listed the property a week later for 4.3 Cr and ran an aggressive campaign around it

weeks later everyone in the locality started running ads for 4+ CR

last week I spoke to my friend and asked him about the villa.

he said the broker is working very hard and property prices in his area have jumped 50% in the past 10 months and he is happy

the villa is not yet sold
price has gone up

my friend does not know why .

this my friends, is the real estate market of today.
