Arogya Bharati is the राष्ट्रीय स्वयंसेवक संघ's (RSS) "Health Wing", and one of its progeny is Garbhvigyan Anusandhan Kendra whose mission is to produce Hindutva superbabies...
If you think I am being facetious, here is a brochure of theirs. Of course we yearn to produce Superbabies, and yes, this doctor, presumably of Ayurvedic "Medicine", will provide the assembly line for it...
Through "genetic engineering" & "conception science" involving diet, coloured clothing, ornaments, flowers, perfumes, "bathing materials", shlokas, songs, "golden milk", gau pooja, diya lighting, creativity, etc - you can apparently manufacture a superbaby...
This article will freak you out, mainly since you discover there are actual normal humans who are flocking to the Garbhvigyan Anusandhan "clinics"... indianexpress.com/article/india/…
The superbaby sounds like an alloy. That article explains - garbhvigyan anusandhan "experts" catalyze a reaction between 6 elements & foetus to produce "Uttam Santati". Prospective parents hang around stroking cows, thinking thoughts & having sex for procreation, not pleasure...
It is all "scientific": a yajna supervised by a cow, 72 days of sexual abstinence, planetary alignments for sex, dissuading children from discos and drugs by applying cow urine (this is genius: who will share smokes or jive with someone reeking of gaumutra?)...
Their training spans Ancient Embryology, Medical Astrology, Genetic Engg, Impregnation Methods. These are the "Faculties" (stock mugs might be a laboured metaphor for assembly line-produced offspring or grins & Caucasian features are popular items on the Superbaby menu)...
The brochures and "faculties" are from their website. I created the charts based on the article & their own content, with a special design and colour palette in the hope that they will be used in their future promotional material. garbhsanskar.org.in

One of the common misconceptions about the farmer protests against #FarmBills2020 is that the resistance is confined to Punjab, implying that the rest of the country is for the Bills, and the stir is politically motivated. This is a brief thread to counter that propaganda.
Is Uttar Pradesh's dismal crime record, especially agnst women/Dalits, worsening? Stats will tell but that's only part of the story. This thread chronicles anecdotal recent instances: each with trauma/loss of life & loved ones bereft. What would justice for them look like?...

Sexual harassment of a woman & her daughter
When they visited a police station in Deoria to file a land dispute complaint, Inspector Bhishmapal Singh masturbated in front of them. newindianexpress.com/nation/2020/ju…
The extent to which #Facebook India is embedding itself into the administrative & business fabric of India ought to concern us, since the BJP is totally sanguine about it. An overview of what might be just a handful of associations. The rest of the thread provides sources...
Facebook's $5.7B investment in Jio Platforms is their gamble to leverage Indian consumers' mobile transactions to monetize their WhatsApp purchase. It doesn't hurt that they obtain unique "access" across India's governments through the Jio parent.. economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/internet/…
#FacebookIndia dreamt up a "Thumbstoppers" initiative to create mobile first ads, into which they co-opted several creative/ad agencies (Wunderman Thompson, Ogilvy, Leo Burnett, McCann and Mullen Lintas)... livemint.com/companies/news…
Sunday nights ought to be quiet, but a storm raged across Desi Politics Twitter. Prompted by this @IndiaToday poll.
Voting patterns suggest that there was a concerted attack for a period btwn 10PM-1:30AM IST by people voting for Modi, prompting #BotsJanataParty to trend...
.@IndiaToday had already been mocked mercilessly for a sycophantic poll about the BJP Govt's handling of #COVID19. True to @rahulkanwal's craven form on TV, the poll provided no option to vote the handling as terrible, which it has been in reality, or even just bad...
Back to the "best next PM" poll... at 10PM IST, 77,306 votes had been cast, split evenly between Rahul Gandhi and Modi.
Three & a half hours later, nearly 3,85,000 votes were in, and Modi was at 78%...
In today's briefing, they discussed a Delhi serological survey that tests for presence of relevant antibodies in people...
Nearly 23% of those surveyed were found to have the anti-bodies. If extrapolated & NCT Delhi's population is 2 Crore, this implies 46 Lakh are infected!
Officially confirmed case count is 1 Lakh 23 Thousand!
Yet the slide boldly says "ONLY 22.86% affected"...
No one asked, and officials themselves did not address, why the study results haven't led to large scale resignations of bureaucrats/ministers in Delhi/the Centre...
Neither was the scarier question of implications for rest of India. 23% of India's population is 30 Crore...
Chaube wants us to "see" his Modi reportage over time. Presumably he thinks it's "balanced". He knows no one is going to endure weeks & months of his "reporting" to judge "balance" re Modi.
I am jobless, so I took on a slightly different challenge...
I searched for references to Modi in his tweets in the last one year, and looked at the adjectives/verbs he uses to characterize Modi and Modi's actions. Routine sentiment analysis.
I stopped at 1 year because I am not THAT jobless.
Surprise!...
I challenge @bhupendrachaube to find 1 tweet over 1 year, in which he uses "Modi", that is critical of Modi or his actions.
Not govt, BJP, minister or partyworker. Modi.
[Saying Modi looks overworked won't count, OK?]
After all, Modi is human (or is he not?). Errs sometimes...
