Ranthambore: A haven for majestic tigers! This renowned sanctuary is safeguarded by the conservation efforts of local indigenous communities, including the Meena tribe. Their traditional knowledge and deep ecological understanding play a crucial role in tiger conservation.

On a per gm basis, protein from veg sources is very expensive compared to meat protein. Protein deficiency in childhood leads to adverse physical & intellectual outcomes. Banning meat protein in school meals is just a strategy to keep the poor, poor.

Friends, I need some leads. We need to raise funds (substantial) to expand our youth suicide prevention program from 3 cities to across the country. How do we get CSR funding? A few CSR ppl I spoke to, unfortunately do not have suicide prevention as a priority area for funding!

I am tired of these complaints here about GST on private health insurance. GST is not the problem, private health insurance is the real issue. Healthcare is a public good & should be publicly funded & provided. For all. Free at the point of delivery. Not just for CGHS babus.

I’ve always been fascinated by how conservatives turned to South Africa in the late 1960s and 1970s to project racist attitudes and fantasies that had become less welcome in polite white society.

So funny to see conservatives battling it out between the "we hate foreigners and want them gone" faction and the "we hate foreigners and want them as indentured servants" faction. Truly an ideological battle for the ages.

This is the supreme irony of the MAGA schism over H-1Bs. Many workers who stayed at Twitter after Musk’s takeover did so because their status in the US was contingent on their employment. They kept a site running that was then used by MAGA folks to question why they were here in the first place.

Sorry for the cross post but Jesus Christ almighty. Good ol’ Sidharth really showed his ass by pointing out that “dehumanizing attacks” only became a problem for him after they were turned on him & his community. The dehumanizing attacks against *gestures wildly* EVERYONE ELSE were just fine tho.
Sidharth tweeted: I'm deeply questioning my decision to support the Republican Party after witnessing the persistent and dehumanizing attacks directed at me and my community by individuals who, despite hiding behind a veneer of respectability, openly harbor and amplify racist ideologies. l've tried to hold onto the belief that these voices represent a vocal minority, not the broader values of the party. But time and again, I am disheartened as accounts with massive followings—many of them wielding significant influence—parrot unhinged conspiracy theories and perpetuate overtly racist tropes without consequence.
