Thank you for your voice @fayedsouza
Our healthcare system failed the young doctor who was killed.
Our collective apathy to the terrible working conditions in government teaching hospitals led to this tragedy.

Doctors should only need to worry about saving others’ lives, not their own
Let’s protect our protectors.

"He’s an arsonist with a huge box of matches—and he’s having too much fun.
But advertisers have an immediate power that sluggish regulators lack: in the first six months of Musk’s ownership of X, revenues fell by nearly 40 per cent"

"One of the world’s most prolific enemies of truth is Elon Musk. He is surely the global far right’s most significant figure, and he holds the world’s largest megaphone. As he may put it, a battle to defeat him is now inevitable – and it has to be won." theguardian.com/commentisfre…

So thrilled that Priya Ramani has written a detailed review of my book ‘The Many Lives of Syeda X.’
50 jobs in 30 years, from bindi pasting to assisting in abortions.
@nehadixit123's book is a stark reminder that even as the rich live grander lives in higher towers, absolutely nothing changes for the majority, especially if Muslim, writes Priya Ramani

Beautiful words from India's first individual gold medalist.
Yes, we will live to tell the story to our children for ages to come of the champion @Phogat_Vinesh was, is this week, and will be for times to come. 👇🏾
Dear Vinesh, It is said that sport is a celebration of human will. I have known that to be true many times in my career but never has it resonated more than today. As I look around me, I see a nation and its people celebrate your unyielding resolve.
You are a fighter – on and off the mat. Through you, we are learning what it means to never lose the fight in us, even as a loss weighs heavily. You embody the true spirit of a warrior.
Not all victories look alike. Some end up as a glittering souvenir in a cabinet but the ones that matter more find their way into the stories we tell our children. And every child in this country will know the champion you are. Every child will grow up wanting to face life with the resilience you have displayed. I thank you for that.
Respect,
Abhinav Bindra

Horrible what’s being done to Hindus in Bangladesh. A revolution that can’t ensure the safety and dignity of the minorities is no revolution. Mob-rule must end and the student leaders, new government must step-in to control it.

This fact makes me even more angry. Last two days have been a roller coaster of emotions, but I am settling at rage against the small minds of powerful men.
This is a case study in "setting athletes up for failure" 😔
The most telling part of @jon_selvaraj s truly excellent piece on how India's wrestling fed let Vinesh down, yet again:
"She wanted to compete in the still manageable 53kg category... Vinesh desperately asked for trials..The federation didn’t budge"

"I am fighting for the future generation of wrestlers. Not for myself, my career is done and this is my last Olympics. I want to fight for the young women wrestlers so that they can wrestle safely. That's why I was in Jantar Mantar, and that's why I am here."
Leader ❤️👇🏾
This time, the tears flowed as I wrote this piece :')
Speaking to me in December, Vinesh Phogat told me:
"The only thing I have told Bajrang and Sakshi is that I will still fight. I will look him [Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh] in the eye and medal leke aungi main, tu dekh [bring back a medal and show it to him]. They both have Olympic medals, I don't. I have a reason to fight. If I train well, I can win a medal. No one can stop me."
On August 6, 2024 those very words came to life :')
