IIT Bombay, the institute Prof Doolla gave his life to, knew this. And yet it retracted its original statement now corroborated by the CCTV footage, dismissed Prof Doolla from deanship, sent him on indefinite leave, and never once condemned the FIR on him under the SC/ST act.

Women be careful 🧐 Testosterone 🧔‍♀️

The traffic in #Bengaluru curbs your social life with each passing day. To get to work and get back home is an achievement. Even school buses are stuck in traffic forever. The government is least bothered. BBMP, even of divided into 20, won't do anything apart from more focussed corruption.

A deeply unfortunate incident occurred at IIT Bombay where a 20-year-old student, Sahil Wakode, ended his life. The IIT administration had initially alleged that he used a mobile phone and ChatGPT during an examination. The administration later apologized, acknowledging that it was inappropriate to make this allegation public before the investigation was complete. Meanwhile, Sahil's family has alleged caste-based harassment; a case has been registered regarding these allegations, and an investigation is underway. The professors involved have also presented their side of the story. Amidst all this, a young man has been lost, yet no one seems to be discussing the reason why he felt compelled to resort to suicide. If a student engages in malpractice during an exam, it is indeed the professors' duty to stop them and act in accordance with the rules. However, it is not right to brand a deceased student a wrongdoer before the allegations have been proven. Similarly, it is inappropriate to declare the professors guilty simply because an allegation of caste-based harassment has been made, without the inquiry being concluded. Yet, none of this is being considered. This is because, by bringing the issue of 'caste' to the forefront in these matters, no one wants to discuss or reflect on why a twenty-year-old youth might have felt, after a single incident, that all avenues in his life seem to have closed. I have often stated in my speeches that since the year 2000, casteism has become so rampant in Maharashtra that people have started identifying the caste of the student sitting next to their child in class, and office colleagues who have shared meals together for years have begun viewing one another through the prism of caste. This poison has spread to such an extent that it has now reached the IITs. It is truly tragic that in the very IITs, institutions Pandit Nehru described as the "temples of modern India", a student has committed suicide, and the fact that this tragedy was driven by caste issues has come to the fore, overshadowing the simple, heartbreaking reality that we have lost a fellow human being. Fundamentally, whether it is the IIT entrance or any preceding competitive exam, the process has become cutthroat. Lakhs of students vie for a mere few hundred seats; once selected, they face the crushing burden of academics followed by the anxiety surrounding campus placements. Moreover, whether at IITs or IIMs, campus placements no longer guarantee the lucrative salaries they once did. This sense of despair is not limited to IIT students alone; it is pervasive, affecting everyone from Commerce and Arts students to doctors and engineers. Sahil took his own life amidst this very despair. This raises a crucial question: should we challenge and reform an education system that has completely crumbled, or should we instead fixate on the caste of the student who committed suicide and of the person who questioned him? The issue is not about which specific government is in power. Over the past 30 to 40 years, in the pursuit of commercializing education, we have caused immense damage to the entire Indian education system; radical changes are needed to address this. Just as it seemed that the recent 'Gen Z' movement was marking the beginning of such a shift, this new incident has emerged. I urge the students to remember that your movement garnered nationwide support because it focused on finding solutions to systemic flaws. Your movement must continue along this same path. If it does, the government will be compelled to answer difficult questions and take concrete action. Does the government intend to do so? If yes, that is excellent; if not, they always have the potent weapons of caste and religion at their disposal. Once the issues of caste and religion are introduced, it becomes easy to derail the conversation. Do not get drawn into such distractions.

Shocking but true. A lot of people can't name all the 3 gods in Puri Jagannath temple!

TEAM BHARAT & I stood up for the IIT BOMBAY professor as he caught a student cheating! This was not a case of caste discrimination! Hence the case of caste discrimination is unfair. I have lots of empathy for the child who lost his life. We must help his family. At the same time one cannot punish an innocent professor on fake charges. @OGTeamBharat @FactswithDinesh @Nidhzee @theracemonkey @nachiket1982 @Shankyram2 @neha_laldas @ajeetbharti @NijiSachiv @talk2anuradha

They should get a better name 😅

Now if you have access to Blinkit, you dont need a #printer. A major headache sorted. Photos, documents anything. 10 min.

Why even have colleges and universities. Let the people learn what they want, how they want. Then let the world decide how good they are. Simple. No exam no tension. No college no problem.

Mera Bharat Mahaan 🥲 #IITBombayProtest

doctor’s duty is to treat patients, not to tolerate abuse and intimidation. When attendants aggressively confront a doctor and start filming her, walking away from an escalating situation is not ego. It is self-defence. You cannot expect doctors to work under fear of assault and then lecture them about their duty when they try to protect themselves. Patient safety matters. But doctor’s safety is a prerequisite for that.

RT @swatigar: Its not about female or male doctor ..it's about a doctor, no matter what the gender, feeling unsafe at their workplace. Thi…

Cat owners have a 30 percent lower risk of dying from a heart attack. A study published in the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Neurology analysed data from 4,435 adults followed over 20 years in the Second National Health and Nutrition Examination Study and found that people who had owned a cat at any point had significantly lower cardiovascular mortality. The study was led by Adnan Qureshi at the University of Minnesota. He found that cat owners had a 30 percent lower risk of death from myocardial infarction and a lower risk of death from all cardiovascular diseases combined, after adjusting for age, sex, race, blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, BMI, and income. The effect held across every subgroup tested. The mechanism is likely stress reduction. Cats, unlike dogs, do not need to be walked, which removes the exercise explanation. What they do provide is companionship, tactile contact, and a calming presence that lowers the baseline stress level in the home. Studies on pet interaction have shown that stroking a cat lowers cortisol and blood pressure within minutes, and those small daily reductions compound over years. The study could not determine whether it was the cat that produced the benefit or whether people who choose to own cats have personality traits that independently protect against heart disease. But the size of the effect, 30 percent, and the length of follow-up, 20 years, made the finding hard to dismiss as coincidence. A cat does not exercise with you, does not cook for you, and does not remind you to take your medication. It sits on your chest and purrs, and the 20-year data says that is enough. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2251…

Two Good men. Decades of influence. Residence of India,Asking votes from Indians, 🇮🇳 doing work as social leaders for india but health checkups in the USA..?? Some questions sir.. 1. Why do India's political leaders and influential public figures travel abroad for advanced healthcare or Education?? 2. If India's healthcare system is improving, why do the powerful still seek treatment overseas? 3. How many ordinary Indians can afford the healthcare facilities they access? 4. What have they actually done to ensure a poor Indian receives the same quality of medical care that they get? 5. Why should world-class healthcare remain a privilege instead of a basic right? Why sir?? How health insurance system being run in India?? @ShashiTharoor @AnupamPKher

One congress leader and one staunch BJP supporter. Both getting health checks in US. Both have ruled India for years. What an irony! #MedTwitter

Radiology used to have something that was almost invisible because it was so routine: The reading room consult. Rounding teams came down. Surgeons pulled up their cases. Internists brought the scan that didn't quite fit the clinical picture. Sometimes the radiologist solved the problem. Sometimes the clinician supplied one piece of history that completely changed how the images were interpreted. And usually everyone simply walked away a little sharper. But something else was happening during all of those conversations. We were learning each other. As a radiologist, I learned what individual physicians cared about. I knew which findings mattered to a particular surgeon. Which measurements an oncologist was following. Which details a specialist wanted emphasized. What questions they were really asking, even when the order just said "pain." And they learned me. They knew who was reading their study. They knew they could walk in, point at something, challenge an interpretation, or ask, "What do you think?" That relationship created context. It created feedback. It created trust. And over years, it created a kind of institutional knowledge that never appears in the medical record. When radiology becomes a report produced by someone hundreds or thousands of miles away, we don't just lose proximity. We risk losing that entire feedback loop. The report may still be technically excellent. But the radiologist knows less about the physician. The physician knows less about the radiologist. The radiologist sees less of what happened after the report. And both sides lose opportunities to make each other better. The reading room was never just a room. It was where imaging became part of the clinical conversation. We should think very carefully before designing that conversation out of medicine. Inspired by a conversation yesterday with @PaleoOnc . Also @909One and @brianchiong .

I heard Jayanagar was flooded last evening! Must be false rumors. 🥲 #BengaluruRains how can old Bengaluru be flooded. Che che. How will people go and eat idli vade gatti chutney now?

Each of your kids is competing with a 25 million kids per year cohort - that is 30% the total population of germany - in a world where internet is free this is the most difficult odds to face for limited white collar jobs & top govt colleges; you and I probably made it, with putting 12 hour days for many years but that means nothing because your kids though privileged will still compete for employment with everyone else who is probably more hungry; do yourself a favour & get your kid an easier passport where the bottom 10 percentile can have a dignified life ; a good country is defined by how the bottom 10 percentile live their daily life - the rich could always find their bubbles to protect themselves from the random cruelty of daily life; like the way we do in blr; Indian cities are unlivable even for the rich folks - coz the infra level corruption is so bad that your mercedez is stuck on a pot hole filled road at a pace of 2 km per hour and you can't even step out to pee coz you are stuck in traffic for 1.5 hours if you can get a better passport, don't think twice
