#WATCH | Kolkata | On West Bengal mid-day meal replacing egg with paneer and soybean, ISKCON Kolkata Vice President and spokesperson Radharaman Das says, "100 grams of egg contains 13 grams of protein. In contrast, 100 grams of soya chunks contains 52 to 54 grams of protein, which is significantly higher... Lentils, commonly consumed in vegetarian households, on average, contain 25 grams of protein... Paneer, which contains 22 grams of protein... I was comparing protein consumption levels across Indian states with large vegetarian populations—such as Rajasthan, where 61% of people are vegetarian, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. Surprisingly, protein consumption is highest in these very states. Conversely, in Bengal and the Northeastern states, where meat consumption is common, protein intake is lower... It is truly unfortunate that such misinformation is being spread..." He also says, "There is a common perception that being Bengali is synonymous with eating fish and rice. But wasn't Chaitanya Mahaprabhu a Bengali? It is his Vaishnava tradition—he who is considered an ideal Bengali—that we follow through ISKCON. ISKCON's Founder-Acharya, Prabhupada, was also a Bengali who took ISKCON and the spirit of Krishna consciousness to the entire world. Today, there are 80 million vegetarians across the globe living very happy and contented lives..."
सम्मान अपनी जगह है, लेकिन लोकतंत्र में किसी भी नेता को इस स्तर तक पहुँचा देना कि 15 महीने के बच्चे की हर हरकत में भी चमत्कार दिख रहा है, सुनील शेट्टी को... यह ठीक सोच नहीं है। नेता कितने भी बड़े क्यों न हों, भगवान तो नहीं हैं। अगर हम बच्चों को बचपन से ही नेताओं की तस्वीरों के आगे लड्डू चढ़ाने की कहानियाँ सुनाकर गर्व महसूस करने लगेंगे, तो कल वे सवाल पूछना तो दूर , सिर्फ़ जयकार करना सीखेंगे। देश को ऐसे नागरिक चाहिए जो संविधान, विज्ञान और कर्तव्य का सम्मान करें; किसी भी नेता की पूजा करने वाली पीढ़ी नहीं। बच्चों को भगवान और माता-पिता का सम्मान सिखाइए, नेताओं की पूजा नहीं। लोकतंत्र की सबसे बड़ी ताकत जागरूक नागरिक हैं, भक्त नहीं। जब तर्क कम पड़ जाएँ, तब जादू और चमत्कार की कहानियाँ शुरू हो जाती हैं।फ़िल्मों में अभिनय अच्छा लगता है, लेकिन लोकतंत्र में नहीं shetty ji...
After arriving at Delhi Airport at 1:15 PM today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi chose to wait at the airport instead of heading directly to his residence. With the NEET examination was scheduled to begin at 2 PM, he delayed his departure to ensure students faced no inconvenience in reaching their examination centres and that traffic movement remained smooth: Sources
After becoming the diabetes capital of the world, we are now also the cancer capital of the world. Time for the Government to immediately tackle the public health crisis. Ban Zomato.
@bombayrains Thank you - this is helpful! I had no idea about 1000mg paracetamols. Just checked and noticed Dolo too having a 1000mg variant!
🚨 Massive controversy erupt in Wadala (East) ahead of #MumbaiMonsoon. While private contractors were paid crores for mechanical drain cleaning, residents of LBS Nagar & Korba Salt Pans caught them using child laborers to manually haul toxic garbage out of deep nullahs with zero protective equipment. This isn't just a scam; it’s a criminal violation of child rights. Strict action needed NOW! 🚨 #MumbaiNews #BMC #ChildExploitation @mybmc @CPMumbaiPolice @NCPCR
My family runs a homestay in the hills of Darjeeling and it goes without saying that we have to deal with all kinds of people. However, we have noticed some things that seem to be uniform behaviour for all Indians: a) They will dirty the room, and not spare even the pillows,
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/36299672/) 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.
Comedy ke naam pe kuch bhi chalega? The Pranit More controversy is getting bigger by the hour. Here’s my take on the controversy. What’s yours?
