@sganesh181 I had earlier posted that #KumbhMela should have been closed for common people & only few sadhus of each Akhada should have been allowed with #COVID protocol.

But I did more research after reading many posts & articles blaming kumbh for current crisis.

hindustantimes.com/india-news/ove…
@sganesh181 First of all most pictures being shared are fake. People are posting old Kumbh pictures to exaggerate their claims about crowds in #MahaKumbh2021

See this for example

indiatoday.in/fact-check/sto…
@sganesh181 State government has made #Covid tests mandatory for people arriving from outside. Also, common people are allowed only till 7 AM. After that only sadhus from akhaadas are allowed for snan.

Uttarakhand is testing 40-50K tests daily in kumbh period. And finding <5% positives.
@sganesh181 Twenty-six people tested positive in the 9,678 random coronavirus tests conducted in the #KumbhMela area on Monday.

That’s <0.25%

In whole Haridwar, 50 K tests done over 2 days and 1000 people found positive. That’s 2%

Maharashtra has 20% positivity rate. Image
@sganesh181 We can see thousands of congregations/ assemblies where people are not taking any precautions.

Every day when I go to office for few hours, I see dozens of youngsters together without masks. Sharing food from tiffins. Enjoying cigarettes at smoking corner.

#Corona
@sganesh181 And please don’t compare #MahaKumbh2021 with #TablighiJamaat congregation in 2020 which had a butterfly effect on #covid spread throughout India. For three weeks, 97% of Tamilnadu new cases were linked to single source.

A thread by @SirJambavan
@sganesh181 @SirJambavan The #TablighiJamaat was criticized more for their subsequent behaviour. People opposed tracking & testing drives. Patients spat on doctors and nurses. Stones were pelted on doctors with even women participating.

People have a short memory.

@sganesh181 @SirJambavan Another first hand account of reality of #KumbhMela2021 crowds

People living in their ivory towers have no idea of real Bharat.

37.7 million Indians are affected by water-borne diseases annually, 1.5 million children die of diarrhoea alone.

See this report from 2013

#ModiHaiTohMumkinHai

This is what we have been living with even seven decades after independence.

Why couldn’t successive governments think, plan and deliver such a basic thing like tap water when this man #modi is targeting the same in 4 years.

#ModiHaiTohMumkinHai
Covid has hit our homes and we are very vocal. Rightly so.

But think how would they have handled a pandemic of this scale that requires a response where we need to increase resources by 5-10 times in months because doubling or tripling will be GOOD but not ENOUGH.

@Aabhas24 Iyas ibn Qabisah al-Ta'i I (from Tayy tribe) was the Sassanid governor of al-Hirah from 602 to 617. The Banu Bakr ibn Wa'il tribe opposed his rule which led to the Battle of Dhi Qar in 609, in which the Sassanids were defeated.

military.wikia.org/wiki/Battle_of…
@Aabhas24 Tayy is an ancient Arab tribe. They helped Lakhmids rule Al-Hirah in the 610s. A chieftain & poet of this tribe, Hatim al-Ta'i, is widely known even today through stories (Qissa-e-Hatem-tai ) about his generosity. He lived in Ha'il (Saudi Arabia) & was mentioned in some Hadiths.
@Aabhas24 The Tayy's original homeland was Yemen but in the 2nd century, they migrated to the North Arabian mountain ranges of Jabal Aja and Jabal Salma (traditional homeland of the tribe even today). The two main branches of Tayy were Al al-Ghawth & Al Jadilah.

There are 28 sports tournaments/ trophies and 19 stadiums named after Nehru, Indira and Rajiv including highest sport award. Here is a list of cricket stadiums alone.

cricketcountry.com/criclife/groun…
QUIZ QUESTION

In which stadium did #BishanSinghBedi realize that a stadium should not be named after a politician

People please vote and do maximum RT. Let us hear from people of India
Politics aside, I want to ask a larger question. Is it ONLY players who contribute to a sport? Does the role of administrators count for nothing?

Just as a great movie require a contribution from the producer, director, actors, the same is with sports.

Punjab has about 10 Lakh farm families (All India 15 crores). State govt gives them an electricity subsidy of about Rs 8000 crore. Center gives them a fertilizer subsidy of Rs 5,000 crore. That is Rs 13000 crores or about Rs 1.3 Lakhs per household.

#FarmersProtestHijacked
See how since 2014-15 (When the Modi government came in power), procurement of rice by the center has consistently increased year on year.

Also, notice how MSPs saw a big jump in 2018-19. In 7 years, MSP for paddy is up by 43%.

#FarmersWithPmModi ImageImage
Look at state wise disparity in central procurement.

Punjab & Haryana sell almost entire production to the government. This year, even Andhra, Telangana and Chhattisgarh have sold more.

But large producers like UP, Bihar, West bengal are left out

Indian Muslims protesting against @EmmanuelMacron because he has spoken against Islamic terror after #Francebeheading & expects Muslims living in France to respect the secular French constitution raises a very important question.

What comes first to them - Religion or Nation
This is not the first time, Indian Muslims have shown solidarity with Muslims in other nations. They have been very vocal about Muslim causes around the world & opposed even #CAA that had nothing to do with them.

A thread on Ummah, Caliphate, Khilafat movement & Indian Muslims
Ummah means community. It is distinguished from shaʻb, which means a nation. Today It is a synonym for Ummat al-Islām, meaning the Islamic community and it is commonly used to mean the collective community of Muslim people across countries.

@BDUTT @htTweets It’s you who is hyphenating #CAB and #NRC.

First is for fast tracking citizenship to persecuted minorities of three Islamic states. No Indian of any religion should have any problem with that. So stop opposing #CitizenshipAct on its own merits first.
@BDUTT @htTweets Now let’s talk of #NRC. First of all there are no specific details of same are in public domain yet. But let’s start with objective.

It seeks to identify citizens of our nation from non citizens (illegal infiltrators who are here for other reasons than religious persecution)
@BDUTT @htTweets Again no indian is an affected party in #NRC At least theoretically.

Yes. Concerns about lack of documents in spite of being genuine citizens are genuine and understandable. And we need to wait for details on the process before indulging in violent protests on imaginary fears
