"How Drug Companies mislead doctors and harm patients?"

This is a title of a book written by a British physician Ben Goldacre.

One of the famous example cited by him is an example of one particular antidepressant reboxetine.

Only one trial of this was published out of seven when tested against a 'placebo'. Obviously the trial published found it to be effective and the remaining six trials remained unpublished.

What were these unpublished trials like?

The same antidepressant was tested against serotonin reuptake inhibitors. It was proved in this trial that the particular antidepressant was not only less effective but also had worse adverse effects.

I'm just citing one such example from the book.

The second major point raised in this book is about how pharmaceutical companies market their products, how they intrude into medical syllabus/education, how they influence the doctors and regulators in supporting their medicines, etc.

#Thread on Roshni Act

LIn 1990, Farooq Abdullah government decided to generate resources for hydroelectric power project. This scheme was called as the “Roshni".

1/

The Abdulla govt, decided to give proprietary rights to all the encroachers holding the state property unauthorisedly till 1990 at some fixed rates. The aim of the govt was to raise 25k crores.

2/

Under Farooq Abdullah, the cut – off for the encroachment on the state land was 1990. In 2004, Mufti govt extended it to 2004 and in 2007, Ghulam Nabi further extended it to 2007.

Total 17 years of encroachment was legalized.

3/

The main aim of the Roshni Act was to change the demographics of a Hindu dominant Jammu.

This was a strategic plan devised to hit at the internal security of Jammu and build 100+ mosques all over Jammu.

Isn't this #LandJihad ?

4/

The J&K HC declared it is as an illegal, unconstitutional and unacceptable.

The SC handed it over to CBI and he CBI complains that the J&K bureaucrats aren't cooperative.

What happens to the land given to the encroachers?

1/

Just visited the Adi Shankaracharya's establishment (Sharada Peetham) at Sringeri, Karnataka. What surprised me, & even shocked me was the fact that at the free meal (Prasadam) served there,

2/

I saw some women wearing full #Burqa , with a band of their children & their men eating the Prasadam.

Mind you, Adi Shankaracharya represents core #Hinduism and people visiting the place are staunch #Hindus .

3/

Obviously, the meal cooked was not at all #Halal and yet these #Burqa - wearing females and their families had no problem eating their meal there.

Needless to say, no one objected to them partaking the meal and they were served as happily as anyone else.

4/

The thoughts that then arose in me were as follows:

🔸️ Isn't the propaganda put out by media that #Hindus hate Ms, or they have a problem seeing women wearing #Burqa , totally false?

5/

🔸️ The fact that these women and their families came in for the meal without any fear is a perfect example of all-inclusive, permissive, and benevolent attitude of #Hindus .

Tulasi Gowda was born in a poor Hallaki tribal family & lost her father when she was only 3 and a child-bride at 12.

She started working at a very young age as a labourer for the Karnataka Forestry Department. Her main duty was to take care of the seeds in the Agasur seedbed.

Over the years, Gowda achieved extraordinary results, also thanks to her deeply-rooted cultural heritage, as in her matriarchal tribe women have been in charge of protecting, looking after and cultivating the land for hundreds of years.

She walked barefoot through plantations, can discern the state of budding plants by just touching them lightly. She’s never been to school, but knows perfectly how to interpret tamarind, eucalyptus and dozens of other plants.

Tulasi Gowda started her journey in the 60s when she was younger than Greta Thunberg by making this world a better place to live by planting one sapling after another.

Today she's 73, but when people way younger than her fail to do anything to arrest the effects of climate change, she is still as busy as she was six decades ago.

Every year she plants and nurtures thousands of trees and goes on about her deeds like no one’s watching.

ABHAY MUDRA

In continuation to my thread on Mudras.

Abhay Mudra is an important gesture in Indian iconography.

In it, the right hand us raised & opened, straight up, raising forward.

Abhay literally means fearless and the gesture indicates blessing, protection & reassurance

The gesture is ancient and widespread and is found in the iconography of Buddhists, Jains and Hindus.

Bhagwan Buddha and the Tirthankaras are frequently seen using this gesture. Bhagwan Shiva, in his Natraja, or divine dancer, pose has his upper right hand in the abhaya mudra.

In Thailand, and especially in Laos, this mudra is associated with the movement of the walking Buddha (also called 'the Buddha placing his footprint'). It is nearly always used in images showing the Buddha upright, either immobile with the feet joined, or walking.

Abhaya mudra is a ‘seal’ used during yoga and meditation practice as a means of channeling the flow of vital life force energy known as prana. This gesture is used to dispel fear and develop courage.

For maximum benefits, it should be practiced daily for up to 30 minutes.

Today's thread is to uncover the story of not allowing Narendra Modiji to become the PM and the politics behind it. For all those who have forgotten this.

In the Congress Raj, before a case went to the Supreme Court, everything was managed.

Here's a small but an impactful example of this.

This is the biggest secret of the success of 70 years of Congress, that it has managed all the media and judiciary and ruled it.

Retired Judge of the Gujarat High Court, Justice Soni, revealed that any petition related to the Gujarat riots, which is filed by Teesta Setalvad in the Supreme Court, why does it always go to the bench of Justice Aftab Alam?

When he further investigated that it was learned that Justice Aftab Alam's real daughter Arusa Alam is a partner in Teesta's NGO

Bhagwan Mahavira was born on the thirteenth day of rising moon of Chaitra month, 599 B.C. in Bihar. This day falls in the month of April as per English calendar. His birthday is celebrated as Mahavira Jayanti day (This Sunday is Mahavira Jayanti).

Let's celebrate it together. 🙏🏽

Mahavira was a prince & was given the name Vardhaman by his parents. Being son of a king, he had many worldly pleasures, comforts, & services at his command. But at the age of thirty, he left his family & royal household, gave up his worldly possessions.

He became a monk in search of a solution to eliminate pain, sorrow, & sufferings.

He spent the next 12 & half years in deep silence & meditation to conquer his desires, feelings, & attachments. He carefully avoided harming other living beings including animals, birds, & plants

He also went without food for long periods. He was calm & peaceful against all unbearable hardships.
Hence he was named Mahavira, meaning very brave and courageous. During this period, his spiritual powers developed & at the end he attained केवल ज्ञान or the perfect enlightenment

Mahavira said that, "A living body is not merely an integration of limbs and flesh but it is the abode of the soul which potentially has perfect perception (Anant-darshana), perfect knowledge (Anant-jnana), perfect power (Anant-virya), and perfect bliss (Anant-sukha).

1/9

I wish to narrate a real life incident of my friend.

My friend's father (let's call him X), a 75 year old man with diabetes and high BP tested positive earlier this month.

We wondered which hospital to admit him - municipal or private.

2/9

The decision was taken out of our hands, when we realised that municipal hospitals had no free beds. Similar was the case with the private hospital nearby.

After inquiring with several hospitals on phone, we got one 5 kms away from the house. We felt relieved.

3/9

By evening 8 pm, he was admitted in the private hospital. Next morning around 9 am, his oxygen levels started dropping. The doctor gave us the prescription of Remdesivir injection.

The pharmacy attack to the hospital didn't have it.

4/9

We asked several friends/pharmacies/distributors etc. Nobody had it.

Around 11, the ward boy of the hospital offered us to get the injection if we paid him Rs. 1000.

Keeping the current situation in mind, we agreed immediately. But he said we were in queue.

5/9

Our number came around 7 pm. He asked my friend to reach a location by 7.30 pm. He went there. He realised that in 200 metres, there was a municipal hospital.

The ward boy went there and got the injection. MRP was around 899/-. Bought it at Rs. 4500.

1. A few people of Kisan Social Army (KSA) met the victim and her father.

2. The victim expresses her wish to join the protests

3. She's molested in the train by the people her father trusted.

4. Despite this, she stays in the tent with the

5. She's raped. She continues to stay there.

6. There's an attempt to kidnap her and she's found in Haryana.

7. She is taken back to Tikri because YoYa asks to.

8. She's gets unwell and dies.

Can't you find several gaps in the FIR?

If a lady is molested in the train itself, why did she keep quiet?

Why didn't she try to escape?

Why did she stay in the same tent?

When the father was informed that she was molested, why no FIR?

Where is the lady (supposedly an actress) who was trying to help her?

A million questions. This surely is far from truth. And I'm sure the truth will never come out with Kejri and Momta hand in glove with each other.
