If Tamil Nadu tops nearly all the health & social indicators along with Kerala, it is because of the Dravidian parties. Modi was the CM of Gujarat for 15 years and BJP has been in power for 29 yrs in Gujarat. But Gujarat fares the worst on most indicators

WHY CHENNAI SHOULD VOTE DIFFERENTLY

Article 14 of the Constitution of India treats a “Tom, Dick, or Harry” & a former CM as equals before law.

My triglyceride level dropped sharply from 181 to 68 in a few months. The only change in diet was nil consumption of biscuits. Was exercising as usual. The culprit was palm oil used in biscuits. I Googled and found a few studies that showed palm oil intake increased triglycerides

*Lowering triglyceride with medication (in people with normal LDL with or without statins) does not lead to any clinical benefits.
*Lifestyle modification (diet, exercise) and cessation of alcohol intake are better options for reducing triglycerides.

There has been a lot of fear mongering by many TV anchors, which is just absurd. The BF.7 variant was first detected in India in July (and just 4 cases in all), and we have not seen any surge in cases despite nil precautions, including masking. IMA's advisory is just nonsense.
At the moment, India is doing fine. We have few cases, we have had the XBB & BF.7 for a while and they have not driven an upsurge in India. In the absence of an even more highly infectious variant, I do not expect a surge. 20/n

doesn't get the simple distinction that I repeatedly drew in this debate:
Learning English langauge (which is need of the time and should be promoted)
Learning in English medium (which is a pedagogic disaster and must be phased out)
Is it that difficult

This "journalist" appears unaware that IDF kills women, children and old people almost on a daily basis. That IDF bombing hospitals, schools, apartments and mosques us considered normal. That IDF kills doctors, paramedics and even ambulance drivers AND journalists. Sigh

The ex-parte order that
@HimalayaIndia
sought and got against
@theliverdr
is proof that their products are indeed suspect and probably even dangerous to health. Have never bought their products. But now will stay miles away from their products. Will ask others not to use them too
4/n
When you consider buying a product from any manufacturer, what goes into your decision making process?
Would you buy a product from any manufacturer which uses such strong-arm tactics to silence anyone who questions their safety and efficacy?

Even if

had successfully made a case that
@theliverdr
was guilty of defamation, why was his account withheld instead of the specific posts taken down. Simple: Dr. Abby exposing Ayurveda will indirectly hurt Himalayas' revenue. Stay away from Himalayas' products
Dr Abby told The Wire: This was completely unexpected. I was never notified [of court order]. I didn’t receive any documents or notification from the court or Himalaya. I received the order from Twitter saying my account is being withheld.

No water stagnation in the below listed subways and the roads are open to traffic.

"Never before has the expert body [NTAGI] been completely sidestepped to clear a vaccine for the immunisation programme, and by doing so, has set an unhealthy precedent.

Why is it that every time some discrepancy with VVPAT is noticed, the mistake is always in favour of the BJP. This can't be coincidence. Because never once has a discrepancy arisen wherein the VVPAT throws up a different symbol at the cost of the lotus/BJP
Tampering is certain
VVPATs print extra slip with BJP lotus symbol during mock polls in Kerala
The same VVPAT machines printed another extra slip with the lotus symbol during the second round of mock poll as well. The issue was rectified only during the third round.

When a large population is virtually brain dead or brainwashed and the media is silent, Modi can say any nonsense and get away with it.
Indians should all be bowing down in gratitude for paying just Rs 140/kg for tomatoes, Rs 1100+ for LPG cylinders, and shelling out more for every other basic necessity because, without Narendra Modi, the prices would have been even more expensive.
Thanks for saving us, Mudiji.

As much as 8% of LIC’s equity assets under management, amounting to a gigantic sum of ₹74,000 crore, are in Adani companies and comprise its second-largest holding. And in the case of SBI, 40% of its lending is to the Adani group.
Hindenburg has put out a damning report on the Adani group which has reacted predictably. Here is my statement on this serious matter that requires a thorough investigation in the public interest.

Days after the incident, many TV channels reported the accused as Mohammad Anish, while his actual name is Anish Raj. Delhi Police confirmed to Alt News, which reported it on the day the incident took place (Jan 4), that the accused is NOT a Muslim
TV channels still misreported!

When the first case of monkeypox was reported from Kerala, social media was rife with critical comments about the State and its people. But all 5 cases detected in Kerala are imported, while 4 cases detected in Delhi have no international travel history. No index case detected.
@vinodscaria
a bit surprising how few domestic cases (no travel history) have been reported? Even with low-ish case-detection (stigma?), many more might have been expected in last 10-12 days
