🇨🇳Beijing, through aggressive policies, combined with significant government investment and enforcement, led rapid improvements in air quality between 2013-2017.

What can New Delhi learn from Beijing?
A thread, if you care🧵

1. Over 1,000 polluting factories were either shut down or moved outside Beijing's urban areas.

Major industries were required to install emissions control technology, and new industrial projects faced strict environmental assessments.

2. Implemented odd-even license plate driving restrictions, capped new car registrations, incentivized electric vehicle purchases, and banned old polluting vehicles.

This reduced vehicle emissions by about 30%.

"Modern India's Most Dangerous Chief Justice? How Chandrachud Masked Authoritarianism with Liberal Charm" - @pbmehta

Like a skilled actor cast perfectly for the Modi era, Chandrachud masterfully used the façade of liberal constitutionalism to legitimize majoritarianism

Notes🧵

His handling of cases from Ayodhya to Kashmir created an environment where communal tensions thrived

Under his watch civil liberties eroded despite flowery pronouncements

His delayed responses to crucial cases like electoral bonds & Article 370 effectively neutered their impact

The traditional approach of scoring Supreme Court justices by their judgments falls short when evaluating D Y Chandrachud

While his record shows some positive rulings on personal freedoms and economic law, this framework misses the larger impact of his tenure

Indian Vegetarian Fascism

Meat eating Hindus are fighting a tough battle with the powerful Brahmanical lobby

Brahmanism invented Vedic formula
Brahmanism=Hinduism=Vegetarianism

Now the only way to win this fight is to invalidate their claim that "Vedas Prohibited Eating Beef"

Rig Veda does NOT explicitly ban cow slaughter

However, it does place a high value on cows, which has contributed to development of cow protection practices in later Hindu traditions.

So what were the 'practical' reasons behind the reverence for cows in the Indian society❓

𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 importance: Cows were a significant source of wealth in agrarian societies.

They provided milk, which was a crucial part of the diet, and their dung was used as fuel and fertilizer.

Preserving cows ensured a stable food supply and economic resources.

‘The cow was neither unslayable nor sacred in the Vedic period’

D.N. Jha,
Historian of ancient and medieval India

🎯Cattle sacrifices can be explained in terms of both economic and cultural factors.

A thread🧵

As you know, the Indo-Aryans migrated to India ~2nd millennium B.C.

They brought along with them several traits of Indo-European life, such as pastoralism, incipient agriculture and religious beliefs and practices including the practice of animal/cattle sacrifice.

They also brought with them a number of Indo-Iranian gods (e.g., Indra, Agni, Soma, etc.) for whom sacrifices were made.

Since sedentary agriculture had yet to develop, the sacrifice of animals—including cattle—met both dietary and sacrificial requirements.

Is milk Non-Vegetarian?

Yes, 4 Incontrovertible arguments

#1. Milk is non-vegetarian food as its molecular structure and DNA that is found only in animals. This makes it non-vegetarian by origin.

Contd...👇

#2. Milk is non-vegetarian food as it contains 9 essential Amino Acids, Vitamin B12, and Cholesterol: These are all quintessentially non-vegetarian personalities.

#3. It is the blood that – via various biochemical reactions – gets converted to milk. Indeed, the presence of blood (and pus cells) has been detected in milk samples under specific laboratory conditions.

Something that comes from blood cannot be vegetarian🤷‍♀️
