This is so true, when faced with trolls.
From Prof Michael Berry, #UCLA, translator of Wuhan Diary at today's AAS Digital Dialogues Webinar. ImageImage
Every Indian should listen to and reflect the presentation given by @NitashaKaul at today's AAS Digital Dialogues webinar . She described the vile tactics used by the Hindutva ecosystem of coercion, control and 'othering' of anyone who dares challenge their propaganda
@NitashaKaul "India is no longer the World's largest democracy" Image
Just to be clear, this graphic and the comment "India is no longer the world's largest democracy. It is the second largest authoritarian state. " was in fact by @AudreyTruschke's in her presentation.

#HijabRow.
Thread.
Lets go back to basics. What is the core question?
Might be easier to define what it is NOT.
1. It is not whether Hijab is mandated by Islam. You could have a decades-long debate on that Q and still not get universal agreement. It Does NOT matter.
2. It is not whether a Hijab (or for that matter a #Ghunghat, a turban, a #mangalsutra or whatever) is a regressive practice. Women are repressed in all communities. And you could hardly argue that @IlhanMN or Halimah Yacob suffer repression
#Hijab and repression are NOT linked. ImageImage
3. The Q is not "Why do some women insist on wearing a #Hijab?". You could, with equal stupidity, ask "Why do some women not wear a Hijab or a Ghunghat?"

The SmPC (Summary of Product Characteristics) for #Covaxin (see the link to Bharat Biotech's website here: bharatbiotech.com/images/covaxin…
has not been updated since the #EUA was granted for use in the 12-18 year age group. It still says (page 1):
"COVAXIN® is indicated for active immunization against SARS-CoV-2 Virus infection for age ≥18years."

The SmPC is a legal document that is part of the approval process. On the question of expiry date, it says:(page 10),
"6.3 Shelf life
The expiry date of COVAXIN® is indicated on the label and carton of the vaccine. Do not use the
vaccine after the expiration date shown on the label and carton of the vaccine."

#Omicron in India - a thread.
Thanks to all those who replied to my question yesterday, esp @Rukmini @PriyankaPulla @RijoMJohn and @pash22
I've pieced together some data and information from @PIB_India website and PRs from @MoHFW_INDIA . Here's what I can glean.
1. New cases of #Omicron infections began to be reported daily only on 21 Dec when there were 200 cases in the preceding 24 hours. (note there is a lag of 4-5 days for genome sequencing to be done)
2. On 29 Dec there were 781 cases in 24 hours.
That's a 4 fold growth but lags in reporting the Dec 25 holioday period etc make this a vbery crude estimate of growth. Total Covid cases (i.e. all variants) over the same period grew fromaround 7,000 cases on 19/20 Dec to 9,195 cases on 29 Dec.

#ElectoralBonds the real story. A Measure of Corruption at the HIghest Levels of Political Power in India -
Headline figure: 8,000 Crore Rupees. = 80 Billion INR = 1.06 Billion US Dollars.
Where do these figures come from? The Horse's mouth.
How? A written reply in #LokSabha.
On 13 Dec 2021 Miinister of State (finance) Pankaj Chaudhuri answered Question No 2314. See the link here: http://164.100.24.220/loksabhaquestions/annex/177/AU2314.pdf
In the 18 rounds since they were launched in Dec 2018, the total sum of money that passed to Political parties from donors via #ElectoralBonds was:
INR 79,94, 97,75,000. i.e just shy of 8,000 Crores.
Conveniently, the reply stated: Party-wise data "is not collated centrally"

India's wholesale prices index - the facts.
from tradingeconomics.com/india/producer…
The annual wholesale price inflation rate in India rose to 14.23 percent in November 2021 from 12.54 percent in the previous month, beating market forecasts of 11.9 percent.
This marked the highest figure since December 1998. The price-inflation for fuel (39.81 %) and power (37.18 percent in October).
It's worth spending a moment to understand what is being measured in the WPI. In India this is the most important measure of infaltion. sooner or later these costs are passed on to the consumer. See:

Why am I seeing more and more tweets that announce, "Ive got a place to study < fill in subject S> in <Fill in name of Foreign University >. Please help me defray the costs."
But does this trend not highlight the growing inadequacy of India's higher education capacity?
There hv bn a range of replies and comments on my tweet above. Let me follow up with this comment. The fact is that in any country wherever it may be on the scale of wealth and development, education in an overseas University can only be for an elite rich privileged minority.
For the vast majority of children and young people the opportunities for education will have to be found nearer home. Primary and sec school to age 18 this is of course totally true. But even for post-18 Univ / college this is largely the case.
