Did you know Robert Koch introduced “tuberculin” in 1890 as a treatment for tuberculosis? It didn’t work as a cure, but later became an important screening tool. From early discoveries to the BCG (Bacille Calmette-Guérin) vaccine, developed by French bacteriologist Albert Calmette and veterinarian Camille Guérin - the journey of TB science is fascinating. @ramyakannan and @zubeda_h talk about this and more in the latest episode of Health Wrap.

Do we still have an Indian army or a Manuvadi Sena? Zia-Ul-Haq across the border, turned a professional army into a theocratic one. I suspect that if these performative displays go unchecked, we on this side, will go down the same path.

#WATCH | Odisha: Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi says, "I am very grateful to have visited Puri today to receive the Lord's blessings. My main aim was to seek divine grace for the entire Indian Army squad and their families. Having offered my prayers, I am confident that the Army will continue to excel and reach new heights in the days ahead. I want to thank the city for its warm welcome; it is a matter of great pride for the country, and I felt a sense of deep peace and sanctity here. I hope to return every year to offer my respects at God's feet."

Roshan Khatoon is a victim of this fake democracy. This country hates us all
Meer Faisal@meerfaisal001

I travelled to Madhubani, Bihar to report on the brutal killing of Roshan Khatoon and what I found is deeply disturbing. On 25 February 2026, during the month of Ramadan, Roshan Khatoon was tied to a pole and mercilessly beaten by more than 20 people, including men and women, while she was fasting, after she went to the village head’s house to resolve a dispute. Her family says that when she asked for water, she was instead forced to drink a mixture of alcohol and urine, an act they describe as deliberate humiliation because she was a Muslim woman. She succumbed to her injuries on 1 March. What followed raises even more serious questions. Instead of immediately ensuring medical care and justice, police allegedly took Roshan Khatoon and her husband to the Police station while she was critically injured and demanded ₹50,000 for their release. The family says they were eventually released after 5–6 hours after paying ₹4,000. Nineteen people have been named in the FIR. Yet, nearly a month later, only one arrest has been made. Her family alleges that the accused are being shielded due to political backing from BJP and JDU leaders. Meanwhile, even after weeks, the postmortem report has still not been released. A woman was lynched, humiliated in the most inhuman way, and a month later, justice remains nowhere in sight. @bihar_police #JusticeForRoshanKhatoon

Influencer Mukesh Mohan is now facing a ₹50 crore defamation case and FIR just for making a video based on a Caravan report about Nitin Gadkari’s alleged beef business. 🚨 His phone has been seized, and he’s been running to police stations in Nagpur for the past two days. If the source was already in the public domain, then how is reporting or discussing it a crime? Or is it that only “paid narratives” are allowed and questioning power gets you punished? What is happening to democracy in this country? @MukeshMohannn

@chirag Good point. Direct benefit transfer does not ensure a well-fed and happy population though. Overall governance, better govt-run schools, and hospitals will ensure that.

It’s worth it to spend on people. You want to play regional hegemon. At least ensure that your people are well fed and happy first.
Major Sammer Pal Toorr (Infantry Combat Veteran)@samartoor3086

DRDO Chief Kamat highlights challenges in India's R&D, Cites US 'DARPA as example #DRDO #DefenceDialogue2025 #Innovation Fact chk: DRDO budget about 26000 crore, laadli behana MP govt 27000 crore, Maha govt 36000 crore. So only 2 states appeasement policies costs 2.5x DRDO budget. India is not poor. We have a lot to spend on appeasement issues.

Terrifying reality check. An Israeli soldier openly admits on camera that they are helping illegal settlers steal Palestinian land and justifies settler violence as "revenge." CNN exposes how the IDF acts as a private militia for extremist settlers in the West Bank.

Satyajit Ray has suddenly become the target of some petty mudslinging on social media. But maybe that’s a good excuse to revisit that six-minute ghost dance masterpiece. It’s the kind of work that can still school anyone in what peak detailing really looks like. Thread. 1/24
