@Anoopsri @Abhiiii321g Indo-French treaty 1954

@munkutty @Abhiiii321g Which treaty?

Puducherry is such a stupid UT, 3 different parts in 3 distant corners of 3 states. Mahe side in Kerala Mainland in TN Yanam in Andhra Why don't merge the region into their respective states? Never understood the logic

@clashreport Why are they using missiles to intercept a drone?! Unbelievable

WATCH: Failed Patriot interceptor missile hit BAPCO oil storage while trying to intercept an Iranian drone in Bahrain.

@RahulSeeker Most other industries have had or still make way better movies than Dhurandhar. It’s just that Hindi audience are not exposed to good movies

Imagine a nation where a movie is supposed to awaken people but not better healthcare, education, or jobs. Nation or circus? 😂

@tsitsiii_t Always a Zhang et al

Zhang et al., 2004 did everything

@SamaHoole If I remember correctly, Kerala also ranks second or third when it comes to average male height and exceeds the average of most southern and eastern states. Most people don’t appreciate the importance of animal proteins (dairy included) in nutritional outcomes

There is a state in India that nutritionists don't tend to talk about. It's called Kerala. Kerala sits on India's southwestern coast with some of the richest fish grounds in the Indian Ocean. Its people have eaten fish every day for centuries: sardines, mackerel, prawns, crab, reef fish, alongside chicken, beef, and pork depending on religion. 97% of the population eats animal protein. It is the most consistently non-vegetarian large state in India. Per-capita fish intake is second in the country. Kerala also has: - The highest life expectancy in India: 75.1 years - The lowest infant mortality in India: 7 per 1,000 - The highest HDI score among Indian states, comparable to Mexico and Cuba - One of the highest percentages of 25-year-old men over 6 feet tall - Near-100% institutional births - Female life expectancy that exceeds male life expectancy, as in developed countries The vegetarian states with their lentils and their paneer are watching from three to four places below on every health metric. The fish is in the curry. The evidence is on the table. Nobody is looking at the table.

@DPrasanthNair Well approx 730

This person has never been to Kerala nor met any Malayali

@SirenesFR C'est ma langue maternelle, le malayalam, avec un riche héritage littéraire. Le racisme rend vraiment les gens étroits d'esprit !

@Banjotkaur All these boil down to poorly funded and disempowered urban bodies. When our cities don’t have the money and the capacity, they wouldn’t be able to invest in infrastructure or providing basic amenities

The single biggest hurdle, in India, to solving pollution woes, metabolic (health) problems, commute issues, and many more -- seemingly unrelated but related ones -- is absence of walkable pavements. The lowest hanging fruit is this if our policymakers understand.

@bsdhanoa China and many other countries such as US prospered because of the financial and regulatory powers that their cities have. Our cities are poorly funded, there is low accountability and limited capacities to act on the issues. Our paranoia regarding decentralisation is a drawback

A damning indictment…

@JacobAShell @hindookissinger I agree this was at a much smaller scale than the Arabs, Dutch, British or French. But it still suck. I remember reading another paper on Tamils ending up as servants in Denmark. Will try to find that out and share

@munkutty @hindookissinger There's this. But frankly I don't think this is "slavery" in sense that was occuring in Americans or Arab/Turkish slave markets of that time. I'm sure it sucked and was hard to get out of fondaskreyol.org/article/how-th….

@JacobAShell @hindookissinger Also a lot of Africans also ended up in India (South and west coast) who were trafficked by European companies from Africa. In Kerala they were called Kappiris (probably a corrupt form of Arabic “Kafirs” or infidels). There is also a community called “Siddis” of African descent

@JacobAShell @hindookissinger I can talk about South India (coz I am from there). So mostly these slaves were war captives were sold to the Europeans by native Indian rulers (and were disproportionately from lower castes). European companies also raided hinterlands or merchant ships for slaves

@JacobAShell @hindookissinger This article covers it well- scroll.in/article/103852…

@JacobAShell @hindookissinger Sorry I meant Asians (mostly South Asians and other Asians) who were captured during raids, or sold to the Danes as war captives. They ended up in different parts of the World as servants and manual labour

Inspite of heavy monsoons and sufficient water supply, Sector E1, Vasant Kunj continues to remain plagued with water shortages. Been without water since morning today no action taken by @official_dda. This is quite unfortunate @LtGovDelhi @CMODelhi

@venkyro @LtGovDelhi @CMODelhi @OfficialDDA Same situation in E1. Has become completely unliveable

Pathetic services at D6 Commonwealth Apartments, Vasant Kunj. 10+ yrs of DDA negligence, no improvement. Continuous water flow causing severe structural damage—urgent action needed! @LtGovDelhi @CMODelhi @OfficialDDA

@hyderabaddoctor As someone who studied Ayurveda, I can say with confidence that this is wrong! Even ayurvedic texts have outlined the supposed harms (of over dosage) and contraindications of drugs. Ayurvedic drugs do not have side effects is a famous myth without any substance

"Ayurveda is generally free from side effects": Delhi CM I wonder where she got these statistics from? This statement is misleading and not correct.

@nakulssawhney @HartoshSinghBal Means we couldn’t muster enough votes to block the proposal! Well…

@nakulssawhney @HartoshSinghBal Thanks, I stand corrected

that does not seem to be the case, but even so where was the effort india put in to prevent this? or is this all the clout modi's india commands among the member states. a shame that our anchors don't sit on the IMF board, that's where this govt has clout
