Medicine, while wrapping the garment of science around it, is fundamentally apprenticeship-based and, like engineering, grounded in experience, not just experimentation and theories. While economists say “assume that …” and produce some weird theory, doctors have none of that.
More than 70% scientists
have been unable to replicate other scientists' research. nature.com/articles/53345…
Penicillin, Chemotherapy, most drugs have been discovered accidently.
Scientific method is good. Scientism is not.
Do remember: "Big Pharma invents diseases for drugs rather than drugs for diseases."
These findings are not in any way anti science. Doctors have to be trusted. This unprovoked hostility towards everything that has not been stamped "scientific" is foolish as long as it is harmless.
Trust your grandmother's advice whether or not it has undergone a clinical trial.
Also, the AYUSH ministry should help publish papers and set up standards.
Patanjali(≠Ayurveda) and IMA(≠Medical science) are both in it for the money (among other things).
To laugh at gau/Yoga/Ayurveda/traditions while copying the west is a symptom of a much larger problem.
Just to make it clear, Homeopathy is pure quackery. There is zero doubt there.
Defending Ayurveda doesnt mean defending all the anti science snake oil pedlers.
Those who think there is no difference here, should read more relevant literature
The scientific pharma industry literally sold heroin as a wonder drug 100 years ago. Very dark history of lies for profit. Then why should their profiteering not be criticised?
"There are 2 branches of surgery in Ayurveda - Shalya Tantra, which refers to general surgery, and Shalakya Tantra which pertains to surgeries related to the eyes, ears, nose, throat and teeth"
"The only thing that we do not do is super-speciality surgeries, like neurosurgery"
IMA has no logical reason to worry about the Ayurveda surgery notification. A good explainer-
3) SC has allowed AYUSH doctors to prescribe drugs as immunity boosters for Covid patients.
"Immunity booster" might not be a correct expression but certain diets, herbs have been empirically proved to be linked with your body's health functions and certain immune responses: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
1) Seeing a lot of attempts recently by NRIs in Canada & the usual Khan Market gang to drive an artificial wedge between Hindus & Sikhs in order to overtake the ongoing dialogue between farmers & government for their own malicious agenda.
A thread-
2) First of all, Sikhism IS a different religion legally and we respect that. But neither party can deny the common structure, shared culture & heroes - two branches of the same tree. Recent attempts at Abrahamization and subnationalization are both dangerous & fake.
3) Guru Gobind Singh-
"Sakal jagat main Khalsa Panth gaje
Jage dharam Hindu sakal bhand bhaje"
"The Khalsa sect will roar around the world. Hinduism will awaken, its enemies will flee."
This exact same point is regularly used by leftists to downplay Ghazni's raid on Somnath as "a normal affair" and to spread the "India didnt exist b4 1947" narrative. A long thread: 1/n

So the Muslim invasions on India came in 3 parts- the Arabs, the Ghaznivids and the Ghorids. All three had different results and the internal situation in India was different every time.
3/n We will discuss the situation until the raid on Somnath(1026) happened. First, the Arab invasions. In 634, under Umar Caliphate, the first wave of attackers came. The king of Sindh successfully repelled them. In 663,Ali caliphate, Baloch fighters repelled another attack.
At a time when Ghazni was raiding, looting and plundering North India, Rajendra Chola I in the the South was creating one of the largest and most powerful thalassocracies (sea based empire) in subcontinent history. Two game changing events were unfolding simultaneously. (1/n)
He first took care of regional rivals in the south- Pandyas, Cheras, Chalukyas and Rashtrakutas. In 1017 CE, he invaded & conquered whole of Sri Lanka. By the end of this decade, entire southern part of the subcontinent was under the Cholas. But the Chola was just starting. 2/n
Rajendra Chola was an ambitious king & a strategic genius. His enemies simply played into his hands. A massive Shiv bhakt, he managed to take on several dozens of entrenched empires by dynamic planning & ruthless attacks.
In 1019, he launched the North Indian expedition! 3/n
(1)The British classified many local janjatis that resisted colonial presence as “criminal tribes”in the notorious Criminal Tribes Act of 1871.
“Tribe” is a derogatory Western term. In the terminology of Bharat, all these so-called tribes are jatis.
(2)Tribes are those jatis the West could not digest into its own structures of “civilization". In our system, they were always an integral part of everything.
(3) Ekalavya had the honour of being invited to Yuddhisthira's Rajasuya Yajna (royal consecration ceremony). Tribals are mentioned as parts of royal armies on all sides in both Ramayana and Mahabharata
