Ranthambore: A haven for majestic tigers! This renowned sanctuary is safeguarded by the conservation efforts of local indigenous communities, including the Meena tribe. Their traditional knowledge and deep ecological understanding play a crucial role in tiger conservation.

Indiasky is still too small, but boosting this, and hoping someone sees this and connects Soumitra to the right people.
Friends, I need some leads. We need to raise funds (substantial) to expand our youth suicide prevention program from 3 cities to across the country.
How do we get CSR funding? A few CSR ppl I spoke to, unfortunately do not have suicide prevention as a priority area for funding!

On a per gm basis, protein from veg sources is very expensive compared to meat protein.
Protein deficiency in childhood leads to adverse physical & intellectual outcomes.
Banning meat protein in school meals is just a strategy to keep the poor, poor.

"Regression to the mean" is a statistical concept that is so appropriately worded.
Equally applicable to societies as to everything else.

Tuberculosis rates plunge when families living in poverty get a monthly cash payout
A program in Brazil that gives a monthly cash sum to families living in poverty has an unexpected — and welcome result. A new study shows that it is dramatically reducing tuberculosis rates.

"Overseas tourism is booming around the world, but India is being left behind. India closed its few remaining overseas tourist offices in 2023. The budget for tourism promotion abroad was slashed by two-thirds from 1bn rupees ($12m) that year to just 330m in 2024" :(

I am tired of these complaints here about GST on private health insurance.
GST is not the problem, private health insurance is the real issue.
Healthcare is a public good & should be publicly funded & provided. For all. Free at the point of delivery.
Not just for CGHS babus.

I’ve always been fascinated by how conservatives turned to South Africa in the late 1960s and 1970s to project racist attitudes and fantasies that had become less welcome in polite white society.
i think this is pretty much right. not a shock that the political economy of apartheid south africa produced a bunch of reactionaries who hope to replicate that political economy for the 21st century www.ft.com/content/cfbf...
Musk, Thiel and the shadow of apartheid South Africa
The parallels between South Africa then and the US today are striking

So funny to see conservatives battling it out between the "we hate foreigners and want them gone" faction and the "we hate foreigners and want them as indentured servants" faction.
Truly an ideological battle for the ages.

Casteism is the same as racism. Probably worse, actually, because it’s a two-in-one.
It’s been said before but all these dudes watched Trump and Vance do this very thing to Haitian immigrants in Dayton during the campaign, said nothing and placidly voted for Trump anyway, and now the leopards are eating their faces.
He’s just now figuring this out

This is the supreme irony of the MAGA schism over H-1Bs. Many workers who stayed at Twitter after Musk’s takeover did so because their status in the US was contingent on their employment. They kept a site running that was then used by MAGA folks to question why they were here in the first place.
I honestly thought that Musk taking over Twitter established how vulnerable H1B workers were. Like I will admit total ignorance before that but we got so many articles about H1B employees being stuck and why while there was a mass exodus
