The best surprise I had this month from my 16-year-old open.substack.com/pub/marrie…

MP Court Convicts 14 Cow Vigilantes in Mob Lynching Case On August 3, 2022, Nazir Ahmed was brutally beaten to death by a mob in Madhya Pradesh's Seoni Malwa tehsil over allegations of cattle smuggling. Nearly four years later, an Additional District and Sessions Court in Seoni Malwa has convicted 14 accused and sentenced them to life imprisonment. The verdict triggered emotional scenes outside the court. Family members of the convicts broke down, protested the sentence, and attempted to stop police vehicles from taking the convicted men to jail. Some relatives even lay down in front of the vehicles, leading to a scuffle with police personnel. After considerable effort, the police brought the situation under control and transferred all 14 convicts to jail. Speaking to the media, some family members claimed that the youths had been drawn into the incident in the name of gau seva (cow protection), but that it ultimately resulted in a tragic loss of life.

The Border Guard Bangladesh expressed concern about the “recent incidents of push-ins of individuals” into the country by the BSF. scroll.in/latest/1093543/ind… It added that many of those were in distress, facing hunger and illness, and included elderly persons requiring urgent medical attention.

Why would a govt supposed to be of and for the people not commit to decent working conditions for the only employment source for millions of its young people?

No criminal FIR against her. The criminal complaint also was not againt against Meenakshi Natrajan. @the_hindu calls out the fraud clearly. The only criminal thing appears to be the EC's decision. #AnilMasihRedux

The British High Commissioner is the first dignitary to reach the crash site to pay homage to the victims of the Air India crash last year. At the crash site, there are no visible preparations for a remembrance ceremony, which speaks volumes about how cheaply human lives are valued in our country.

data centres are draining bengaluru’s ground water. right now there are 31 data centres in bengaluru. data centres consume roughly 20 million litres of water EVERYDAY. where will that water come from because bengaluru has no river and is entirely dependent on groundwater. more data centres are planned and upcoming. our country will not survive this. the planet will not survive this. we will not survive this.

Fixed this for you @CNN

For more than 2 decades MEA maintained a dazzling online library on India's journey from 1948-49 to 1999. From Nehru to Vajpayee. From Indira Gandhi to IK Gujral. The collection has vanished without any explanation. Great loss for academics, journalists general people worldwide.

Good morning! Just got to know this! 1/2 A whole government Ministry is unleashed on me - because I speak against unscientific practices and primitive traditional healthcare that can harm, I communicate scientific information for public and patients alike. This was an official memo released during the Ministry of Ayush meeting on 12-6-2026 fully dedicated towards shutting down my social media presence. Imagine - the people in this meeting were eating biscuits and drinking tea, paid for by the citizens of the country - to decide how to gag and shutdown a citizen doctor who educates people on medical science via social media. Yesterday, my Instagram account was briefly hacked, but I got back control and removed unauthorized access within an hour. The Article 51A(h) of the Indian Constitution outlines the fundamental duty of every citizen to develop a "scientific temper, humanism, and the spirit of inquiry and reform". Added during the 42nd Amendment in 1976, this non-justiciable directive promotes logical reasoning, critical thinking, and rationality. The Ayush system is not scientific, it kills scientific temper, it does not promote the spirit of inquiry, it lacks logical reasoning, has the deadest version of critical thinking and none of its products and practices are rational. The only thing that needs to be shut down, is an unscientific body like Ayush that goes against the Indian Constitution and wastes public tax money... and not me. Also, please look closely at the person at the end, who is copied to, by the Ministry. His name is Vaidya K P Manikandan and he is the owner and founder of CNS Ayurveda Hospital, where children are treated for chronic conditions such as severe mental health disorders, autism and epilepsy (please see an official release from the hospital in the next post). One such victim of his was saved by my team (we reported it: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3629…) and he put a criminal defamation case against me and the authors (for publishing a scientific peer reviewed paper!) which was later "stayed" by the High Court of Kerala. This has nothing to do with service to patients, but everything to do with protecting the business of alternative medicine (especially Ayurveda). These low life complaintants should be ashamed.
