Explaining that apart from being an ancient religious ritual sacrifice of animals at Kamakhya Temple, Kabindra Sharma said, “The prasad that goes out of the temple as meat of goat, duck, pigeon is distributed among one and all. But the prasad that we get from sacrifice of buffalo
is distributed among many tribal families living in the hills.” This is one of the holiest Shakti Peeths. firstpost.com/india/row-over…

Let's now move to Tarapith in Rampurhat in West Bengal. tripoto.com/west-bengal/tr…
The prasad of Maa Tara is said to be a mixture of water, liquor and sindoor also called the bath water of Maa Tara, since liquor is the choice drink of the tantric saints and that of God Shiva; Goddess Tara is almost exclusively offered liquor by the devotees.

It proves a fact.
Meat and Alcohol is culturally a part of our worship for years, especially when it comes to #MaaKali. In north India it may be different but in eastern India it forms a part of ritual, worship and faith for lakhs of devotees.

Stop imposing one form of worship on the rest of us.
I am a devotee of #MaaKali and I have visited both #KamakhyaTemple and #TarapithTemple. Don't tell me vegetarianism and abstinence is a part of my faith and worship just because some folks want to imppose their practices on us.

What #lies you will be fed over next few days when it comes to #Aarey

#Influencers telling you how the car-shed in Aarey is not damaging ecology of a leopard🐆 habitat.

#Kanjurmarg, is not feasible because of litigation when truth is there actually was a proposal to save it.
How previous projects inside #AareyForest automatically allows construction of a massive #MetroCarShed in eco-sensitive area. Because the best way to move forward is to repeat the past.

Everyone fighting to save Aarey are rich people who never travel in local trains.

#lies
There will be massive cost escalation if car shed is shifted & moved to #Kanjurmarg plot where a car-shed is planned anyway for another line.

Truth is, costs may rise but #Mumbai can afford few thousand crores to save a crucial green lung & leopard 🐆 habitat.

As journalists, its our job to show what's happening, not tailor it to preferences. If there are dead bodies waiting in line to be cremated, if people are dying without a bed, that's what we'll report/ show with proper advisories. Can't paintbrush reality because its distressing.
These calls to not show #cremations in #India on news is just another ploy to divert attention of from the #reality that crematoria are running full with people being denied dignity in #death. The #COVID19India situation is horrible and it has to be reflected on the news.
Yes its #depressing and the person reporting from the crematorium is not enjoying it. But that's what our management of the pandemic has led to. See what the situation is, fix responsibility and remember all this when you elect your leaders.

A government that rushes to take credit for every small thing is today desperately trying to shift blame for its mismanagement to states. This while it has retained control on #vaccines & #oxygen. Not that states have zero responsibility, but this is largely the Centre's doing.
Troll factories are pushing the narrative that #PrimeMinister #NarendraModi can't be blamed while he was busy holding super spreader election rallies when he should have taken charge of the situation. So expect an all out attack from the IT Cell. Accountability anyone? #2ndWave
#States too should have been better prepared. But with #vaccinationpolicy and #oxygenallocation out of their control, they could do little except prepare for the worst with whatever resources they had at their disposal. Some states did take steps and thank god for that. #Pandemic

"Should Be Booked For Murder Probably": Court Shreds Election Commission ndtv.com/india-news/mad… via @ndtv
"Your institution is singularly responsible for the second wave of COVID-19. Your officers should be booked on murder charges probably," the Madras High Court told the Election Commission.
"Were you on another planet when the election rallies were held," Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee questioned.

#Centre says we allocated oxygen plants to states but #states did nothing.

Here is the #truth.

Order clearly states that the procurement will be done by the Central Medical Supply Store, an autonomous body under the MOFH.

We need to see if CMSS actually procured these units.
Order also states that hospitals where these plants were to be installed were identified in consultation with state governments and union territories. It’s clear that the states have a go ahead. So what happened after that? Were allocated funds disbursed? Did procurement happen?
Who delayed procurement, construction and installation of #oxygen plants? At what level did the delay take place. It’s says locations were identified in consultation with states. What happened after that is key. If the #Centre or a #CentralBody was in charge, who delayed it?

The Guardian view on Modi’s mistakes: a pandemic that is out of control | Editorial theguardian.com/world/commenti…
A presumption of national greatness has led to a lack of preparedness, most notably in vaccine production.
Like Donald Trump, Mr Modi would not give up campaigning while the pandemic raged. India went ahead with five state elections in April, and an unmasked Mr Modi held huge rallies. Mr Modi’s brand of Indian exceptionalism bred complacency.
