From Bangladesh to West Bengal to Kashmir, the kiIIer is always the ‘same DNA’ quom, and the victims are always Hindu! But yeah, as per our seculars, and Supreme Court, THEY are the ‘insecure minority’ who need protection! #Pahalgam

Hindutva Decade - The Lost Opportunity (Thread) In 2014, Frustrated from appeasement of Congress, Hindus united and gave full majority to BJP and gave again in 2019 This 2014-24 was the Hindutva decade There was a govt in power chosen by Hindus with full majority 1/21







As someone with personal experience, let me explain why pollution from parali has become an issue suddenly in recent years when farmers have been burning paddy forever. The reason is transition (chiefly in Punjab and in parts of Haryana Haryana) from manual to machine harvesting (also fits perfectly with the fire map below). There is a BIG difference between paddy straw left after harvest in manual versus machine harvesting (amount of straw, length of straw, distribution across field & straw condition). In simple terms, manual harvesting incentivises collecting paddy straw while machine harvesting incentivises burning it. But, the former (done by Bihari labourers mostly) costs Rs 6k per acre while the latter costs Rs 1500-2000 per acre. BUT, paddy straw is currently being sold for Rs 4,000 per acre so machine harvesting is not preferred that much in Haryana. What's the solution? In my humble opinion (and machine experts can weigh in here on the possibilities), we just need better machines that harvest closer to the ground, collect straw separately and convert into bundles as they roll through the farms (basically imitate manual harvesting).
