Quick notes: Origins of farming | Cost of parking...
Origin of farming: “A mainstream view is that farming came to South Asia through the large-scale movement of Iranian farmers. But the absence of Iranian farmer DNA in the Indus Valley individual suggests instead that farming in South Asia arose on its own, either through local invention or adoption of ideas or some combination”.
Genome of nearly 5000-year-old woman links modern Indians to ancient civilization: “This research, for the first time, has established the fact that people of Harappan civilisation are the ancestors of most population of South Asia. For the first time, the research indicates movement of people from east to west.
The high cost of free parking: Just because you don't pay anything for parking doesn't mean the cost is not there. It is still there, just the driver isn't paying for it... It is esitmated that in America, there are 8 parking lots for every car!
Why India must prioritize Railways over Road transport: Railways require less land than most roads and that is visible even to the naked eye of an onlooker. This is especially important in the old world where many countries including India have dense populations and agricultural land is of great value.
Bankrupting nation going on full speed. Do we need the damn super expensive Nagpur Expressway? Or is it an ego trip of @nitin_gadkari and worse @Dev_Fadnavis at public cost. #MSRDC chairman under a cloud. Wake up people! pic.twitter.com/YOAJlujXoe
Finally, some sense: Nitin Gadkari says Hybrids must get same reduced GST benefit as EVs. . . . EVs not a panacea, can actually increase pollution where power gen is from coal.

China 'hacked' Indian, other Asian telcos: To spy on Uighur travellers, Chinese hackers have compromised telecoms operators in countries including India, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Thailand and Malaysia
How Britain's opium trade impoverished Indians: How a few thousand opium clerks controlled millions of peasants, forcing them to produce a crop that actually harmed them. The British Indian monopoly on opium continued until India won independence in 1947
These are the ruins of the once-flourishing Dakhina Parswa Matha of Puri. Closely associated with Jagannatha Temple. A hub of the Maratha gurus. Half-faded murals & beautiful stucco— locals say all of it might be razed by the end of this week, for a wider road! 😭 #SaveHeritagepic.twitter.com/PPhZRnUO9w
