The only country in the world to have a legal minimum marriage age for women of 21 is Rwanda. Most countries have 18 or lower for both genders.

Why is the Indian govt proposing this highly oppressive state interference in rural and tribal life?

@narendramodi @smritiirani
You don't "make someone aim high" by coercive restrictions. That is a colonial state trying to "fix" people. And it doesn't work.

At the same time the govt produces millions of unemployable graduates.

These colonial policies are driven by "shame" about Indian culture and the need to "civilize" the natives.

"Child marriage" was used to attack Hindu culture by the British, but even this critique of it admitted that early marriage *reduced* assaults.

Moronic argument. Younger unmarried girls will just be kidnapped and in a society suffused with porn you think they will delay sexual gratification till 21?

They'll become targets or elope with live-in relationship. Will only constrain law-abiding Hindus.
Frightening is how these measures are being pushed with complete contempt for society and to "look good" on international development indicators like MMR.

What will be its impact on rise of unwed teen pregnancies and abortion rates, along with a destruction of society? Image
It is obvious that increasing marriage age will lead to more pre-marital sex, unwanted pregnancies and single mothers.

Is this the Western model of "development" that Govt of India wants to push, at a time when India already has among the highest age of marriage in the world?
Sex always has a likelihood of pregnancy.

The govt pushing for increase of marriage age means there is more likelihood of unwed unwanted pregnancy and single mothers.

For those who think increasing marriage age would make any change to predatory #RapeJihad.

An Indian Muslim @ShoaibIND put out this tweet.

How did other Muslims respond to it? A 🧵 Image
Can't be happy cope.

If you seek to be happy, loved and prosperous who have failed the "main mission" of a Muslim.

How can we stop insulting others' gods, even prophet did it. Image
Someone who is all about "healing" finds their inner abuser. Image

How @theliverdr pushes ideologically motivated garbage.

In a long post he claims that “science says” Giloy caused liver toxicity; in the same post he dismisses a study on Ashwagandha as garbage.

For the case against Giloy his reference is the propaganda rag, @thewire_in! 😏 Image
The Wire article further references an “observational study” which has a total sample size of 6 people!

No doubt this study is conducted by other Liver doctors trained in allopathy alone; and specifically targeting Giloy “twigs.”

Other than the limited sample size, the AYUSH response states that it is very easy to confuse Giloy with a similar, but toxic, plant; the “scientific” study didn’t actually even check if the correct plant was used.Image
So this 6-person study with any randomized control or double-blind test, where motivated researchers isolate a perhaps pre-determined conclusion is called “science.” Now let’s see what this doctor calls “underpowered garbage” which was “never done methodically.” Image

Europeans, particularly Germans, were so desperate for an “Aryan” identity based on Hindu texts because they had very little history or identity of their own.

The Germanic tribes were barbarians with little durable language or culture. To lay claim to Sanskrit and related knowledge allows them to attach to a glorious history.
The Germans weren't successors of Rome. The Italians had history, the Greeks had history, even the British could harken to a Celtic history, what did the Germans have?

This is how they became "Aryan" laying claiming to Sanskrit and Indo-European origins.

Lol, not Hitler was born and died a Christian. He was merely continuing anti-semitic policies of Popes in the past.

"Aryan" was not a religion to him, but a "race." Race itself is a construction of Europe, and he claimed to belong to the "Aryan race."

Some direct excerpts from the translation of "al-jabr" by Mohammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, from which the term Algebra comes.

Note this translation is from 1831. After 1857 British and Western scholarship started denigrating Indian knowledge as an explicit policy. Image
Firstly, the translator Frederic Rosen makes explicit that Al Khwarizmi did not invent Algebra, and that this was "well-established" in scholarship, but that he was the "first Mohammedan" to write upon it. 2/ Image
That Al Khwarizmi did not invent Algebra is attested by many, and even by the Al Khwarizmi himself in the preface where he states that the Caliph Al Mamun, encouraged him to write a popular work on the topic, implying that there were existing works he would use. Which were these?

Translator himself concludes that "at least part of the information is drawn from an Indian Source", based on his knowledge alone.

45 years ago “science” said ghee was terrible and my father switched us to dalda, marketed as a substitute, from ghee.

Now science tells us ghee is good and hydrogenated oil is the worst.

Lesson: Don’t follow 2-year old “science” studies. Follow 1000-yr old tradition.
See my thread on this.
Traditions (not religions) are scientific knowledge tested and passed down over generations.

Scientific studies are time-limited and ephemeral; their results are easily overturned by the next study and are in many cases irreproducible.

Medical arrogance.

Many "modern" medicine are also extracts of herbs. But the pharma industry relies on dismissing the original because it can't be patented and yields much less profit.

And they'll attack scientific studies which don't fit their prejudice and pocketbook. Image
Here is an example of @theliverdr misleads and misreads even their own research in even simple things like whether drinking more water is helpful for health.

With his initial list of "debunking" why drinking water doesn't help, he cites the following article:



Let's dive into it.mcgill.ca/oss/article/he…Image
@theliverdr In the article, @drlabos says, there is "no real advantage to drinking more water", and one can routinely get water via food.

In this article he cites a single study to back his claims, saying "drinking more water did not offer any benefit for kidney function."

Let's read it. Image
