By listening in on @MuslimSpaces one thing is clear. The primary responsibility for standing up to, and speaking out against, Hindutva #Sanghi outfits that persecute ordinary Muslim citizens, falls to the majority Hindu community and its leaders, representatives and influencers
Not only is this the morally right thing to do, it is is also a matter of self-interest. Hindutva outfits are effectively non-state actors deciding State policy on the hoof, growing ever bolder and becoming ever more brazen in their acts of tyrannical oppression of Muslims
They grow only because they
-are unchecked by the forces of law and order,
- feel emboldened by the silence of the political leadership
- feel immune from action by the institutions of a civilised State.
This cannot be good for the idea of #India as a "Nation of Laws"
When the rule of law breaks down and self-appointed groups assume the power to coerce, control, and compel innocent citizens to obey arbitrary rules, then no one is safe, no one is free, everyone is fearful.
Once the men of evil taste the unaccountable power of the petty tyrant
They will not easily give up their position of power. Then no one is safe no one can be certain what new ordinary humdrum act will be defined as a transgression..
Welcome to the new Taleban This time dressed in #saffron and chanting #JaiShreeRam
This article in @Article14live exemplifies my point. Muslims in India are being blamed, quite simply for their very identity as Muslims. They are being excluded from something they have been part of for centuries.

#SriLanka is reaping the whirlwind of #Hate first ethnically driven hate for the #Tamil people, and then religious hate for #Muslims.
Now they know painfully that Hate for a conveniently defined 'other' is destructive of everyone's prosperity, including your own.
It was #Hate for the 'other' that blinded the populace to the #Corruption of those in power who fuelled and directed the #Hatred and the #Bigotry as a smokescreen for their own #Corrupt #misgovernance.
When the #Flames of #Hatred are fanned by the #Bigots in power for their own selfish ends, and the mechanisms of institutional control are disabled by those same bigots, the flames cannot tell the intended victims from the bullies and their silent onlooker supporters.

Some interesting facts and figures here about the implications for India of Russia's efforts to sell its oil and how India is not going to be the conduit to circumvent Western sanctions.
🧵
economist.com/finance-and-ec…
1. More than a quarter of India's import bill goes on oil and petroleum products. World oil price-rise foll #Ukraine war is crippling India's public finances. But less than 1% of imported oil is Russian oil. But the state-run oil majors of India and Russia do cooperate
ONGC invests in 3 projects in Russia, and that country's Rosneft owns 49% of Nayara Energy, a downstream oil refiner that operates India's 2nd largest refinerry and owns 6,000 petrol filling stations; 2 members of the Nayara Board are Rosneft executives

A short thread on useful reviews you might read about Vivek Agnihotri's film Kahmir Files. Based on truths, it still manages to mislead viewers about the whole truth while whipping up hate toward a set of targets that the BJP has always ranted and railed against. So here goes:

#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.
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?"

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

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."
