It includes INSULTING USING CASTEIST SLURS, economic and social boycott, displacing from property, sexual violence and murder.

Chromium is necessary for insulin to regulate metabolism of carbohydrates/lipids/protein. Sea foods, meat & whole grains are good sources, followed by egg, butter and tubers. Cheese is a concentrated source of Cr. Fruits and vegetables, in general, are not good sources of Cr.
Selenium content varies depending on the soil where the animal was raised or plant was grown. Organ meat and sea foods are rich sources of selenium. Mustard, and to a lesser extent garlic and broccoli accumulate Se from soil. Cereals and grains are major dietary sources of Se.
Vitamin B12 is required for genetic materials and for nerve and blood cells.
The major source is animal source foods like milk and other dairy products, fish, poultry and meat1. The deficiency of B12 is characterized by pernicious anaemia, weakness, fatigue, loss of appetite..

Governments and researchers are messing with children's food and cultural preferences

Replacing rice with millets has no nutritional benefit.

And soya chunks are not a healthy option for children

This author also is misinformed about millets

"Yes, digitalisation is an important aspect of making the system more accountable and responsive to people’s needs, but it cannot replace a robust, egalitarian, evidence-based and comprehensive healthcare system altogether."

"The elderly woman who has a diabetic ulcer and is unable to buy her medicines and who hasn’t received her rations or her pension is the sort of person the government needs to be looking out for. But she may just become another statistic in India’s rush for digital gold."
The need of the hour today is not a revamp of the system but to strengthen existing systems, taking into account gaps that the COVID-19 pandemic & subsequent lockdowns have laid bare. We can’t afford to ignore daily images of people dying due to lack of access to basic facilities

Privilege is when you can put up happy pictures of yourself with your fave food without the underlying fear that you will be lynched.
Privilege is when you can love someone without being beheaded for it
Privilege is when you can turn the video on for online classes, and not be ashamed of how your house looks in the background
