Rabies isn't a dog problem. It's a 24-hour problem. The deaths aren't happening because of the bite itself. They're happening because of what we do — or fail to do — in the 24 hours after.

India's rabies panic. India loses about 9.5 million people every year. Here is what actually kills them. Tuberculosis: ~3,31,000 (Govt of India / WHO) Road accidents: 1,77,177 (MoRTH, 2024) Suicide: 1,71,418 (NCRB, 2023) Snakebite: ~58,000/yr average (Million Death Study) Rabies, on the highest credible scientific estimate — ICMR/Lancet, 2024: ~5,700–7,350. Rabies, on the government's own NCDC count tabled in Lok Sabha for 2024: 54. Out of 37 lakh reported dog-bite cases. Even taking the upper bound of the ICMR estimate, rabies is roughly: • 0.07% of all Indian deaths • 1/24th of road deaths • 1/8th of snakebite deaths • 1/23rd of suicides • 1/45th of TB deaths Now ask yourself: how much primetime, how many op-eds, how many policy meetings, how many "crackdown" announcements have you seen in the last 6 months on stray dogs vs. on TB case-finding? Vs. helmet enforcement — 30,000 helmetless two-wheeler deaths a year? Vs. antivenom access in rural India? Vs. pesticide regulation, the single biggest lever on suicide? If strays were a genuine national emergency, snakes would be a national security crisis.

The dog isn't the variable USA: 4.5 million dog bites/year. ~0 dog-rabies deaths. UK: 250k bite-related medical visits/year. Last domestic dog-rabies death: 1902. Sri Lanka: same subcontinent, same strays. Cut deaths 95% in 30 years. Bites happen everywhere. Deaths only happen where the system fails.

Miss #4: The supply chain January 2025: falsified Abhayrab vaccine vials surfaced in Indian pharmacies. Real product, broken cold chain, repackaged. If the vaccine sat at the wrong temperature, who can guarantee the effectiveness.

All the psychos who are saying that stray dogs are the biggest threat to mankind and they "maul" innocent children, then what are these acts done by Indian children? First such acts are condemned in civilized nations as opposed to India where such acts are a pastime as see how the father beams in glory while his child is throwing the stray dog into the well. @RepNancyMace @RepJoshG @USATODAY @gabrielcharro_ @AdoptionsUk @nytimes @washingtonpost @guardian

88 tiger deaths from 2020-21 remain UNRESOLVED. How can the National Tiger Conservation Authority claim to protect our national animal when forensic reports and key documents are simply missing? Taxpayers pay for protection, not for administrative lapses and forced case closures that hide poaching. Are you doing your jobs or just burying files? #SaveTheTiger #WildlifeAccountability #NTCA #TigerConservation #SaveIndianAnimals @LiveLawIndia @PMOIndia @ntca_india @moefcc @byadavbjp @dilthi_gujarati

Her name was Ruchika Girhotra. She was 14 years old. A tennis player from Panchkula, Haryana. On August 12 1990, she went to meet S.P.S. Rathore at his office. He was the Inspector General of Police and head of the Haryana Lawn Tennis Association. He had promised her father he would arrange special coaching for her. When her friend stepped out of the room, he molested her. Her family filed a complaint three days later. Rathore had her expelled from school. Her father was suspended from his bank job on false charges. Six cases were filed against her brother Ashu. The family's house was forcibly sold. They fled to the outskirts of Shimla and took up earth filling work to survive. On December 28 1993, days after Ashu was paraded in handcuffs through their neighbourhood, Ruchika consumed poison. She died the next day. She was 17. Rathore threw a party that night. He then refused to release her body to her father unless he signed blank papers. Those papers were later used to forge documents accepting a false autopsy report. Despite a police inquiry recommending an FIR against him, Rathore kept getting promoted. He became the Director General of Police of Haryana in 1999. The case went through 40 adjournments and more than 400 hearings over 19 years. In December 2009 a court convicted him of molestation. He was sentenced to six months' imprisonment and fined Rs 1,000. The sentence was later enhanced to 18 months. The Supreme Court upheld his conviction in 2016 but reduced it to the time already served. He walked free. The judge who tried to add abetment to suicide charges against him was forced into premature retirement. The judge who dismissed those charges was a neighbour of Ruchika's family involved in a property dispute with them. S.P.S. Rathore was later invited as a VIP guest to a Republic Day event in Panchkula. Ruchika Girhotra was 14 when he molested. She was 17 when she died. Follow for stories India deserves to remember.

Assam and Bengal are clear cases of the election being stolen by the BJP with the support of the EC. We agree with Mamata ji. More than 100 seats were stolen in Bengal. We have seen this playbook before: Madhya Pradesh. Haryana. Maharashtra. Lok Sabha 2024 etc चुनाव चोरी, संस्था चोरी - अब और चारा ही क्या है!

@RahulGandhi “Since three o'clock, they've been beating us, they kicked me, shut off the CCTV, didn't let one of our agents in” - Mamata Banerjee If this can happen to her, what message are we sending to every woman in this country? Unacceptable. Unforgivable. #Electiontresult2026

यह कानूनी एवं सामाजिक रूप से अपराध है – यह न केवल इन लड़कियों के प्रति गंभीर उत्पीड़न है, बल्कि अकेले यात्रा करने के दौरान उनकी सुरक्षा के लिए भी बड़ा खतरा है। ऐसी हरकतें लड़कियों एवं महिलाओं में डर और असुरक्षा का माहौल पैदा करती हैं। इसलिए, इस आरोपी की पहचान करके सामाजिक एवं कानूनी रूप से दंडित करना आवश्यक हैं, ताकि भविष्य में ऐसी घटनाओं पर रोक लगाई जा सके। @RailMinIndia @upgrphq
