Quick notes: Tone it down | Addicted kids...

• Tone it down on Khalistan: To be sure, there is no longer an active Khalistan insurgency in India, and Sikh extremist violence is rare now. One can ask what is gained by focusing so much attention on a relatively small group of people thousands of miles away who are committed to a cause that has essentially petered out in India itself.



• Kids Addicted: Majority of Indian parents say their kids addicted to social media, OTT. "Gadget addiction by children between ages 9-18 has become the new reality. The addiction, in some children, is leading to emotional, mental and physical disturbances".



• 'Coaching industry is toxic': It is unnatural to study without any purpose day and night. Your personality gets stunted. "Many of my engineering friends who are following the typical definition of success, have an elevated 'unhappiness level'. Many who have cracked these exams are now planning to go into business. They are realizing this much later after having run too far into this race. They join the corporate world and some feel burnt out".
  
  The coaching industry is the byproduct of a third world country. Since there are so many unemployed, it creates a competition among the unemployed. The institutes make you feel that if you clear the entrance exam you are very special.



• NYT features Anand Malligavad: India’s ‘Lake Man’ relies on ancient methods to ease a water crisis... After Anand Malligavad tumbled into a lake, he thought he might die. Not from drowning, but the stench. Like hundreds of other lakes in Bengaluru, the one Mr. Malligavad suddenly found himself in was a receptacle for sewage, plastic debris and construction waste.



• Millets for all: The pitfalls of growing too much wheat and rice can no longer be denied. The dominant varieties of these staples require large quantities of fertilizer, chemicals and water. They have been linked to lifestyle diseases. Meanwhile, the natural resource economy and nutritional benefits of millets are beyond dispute.

Khalistan Row: How Trudeau's Claim Has Put Indians in Canada at Risk

Pannu of 'Sikhs for Justice' Demands All Hindus Leave Canada

So will the Canadian govt bother to take action against SFJ?

Let's remember that during the 1980s, there were many warning signs during the period that led up to the Air India bombing -- including direct warnings from the Indian govt. But Canada chose to ignore all warnings.

Will that cycle be repeated again?

(Human traffickers, including Canada's political establishment, rarely care about the human cargo they traffick in, simply seeing these as a commodity. If a fight breaks out in the hold of a slave galley ship, it's not considered a  human issue, it's merely considered a logistical issue.)

Indian MEA Issues Travel Advisory for Canada, As Khalistanis Plan Rally

Advisory for Indian Nationals and Indian Students in Canada

 September 20, 2023

​In view of growing anti-India activities and politically-condoned hate crimes and criminal violence in Canada, all Indian nationals there and those contemplating travel are urged to exercise utmost caution.

Recently, threats have particularly targeted Indian diplomats and sections of the Indian community who oppose the anti-India agenda.

Indian nationals are therefore advised to avoid travelling to regions and potential venues in Canada that have seen such incidents.

Our High Commission/Consulates General will continue to be in contact with the Canadian authorities to ensure the safety and well being of the Indian community in Canada.

Given the deteriorating security environment in Canada, Indian students in particular are advised to exercise extreme caution and remain vigilant.

Indian nationals and students from India in Canada must also register with the High Commission of India in Ottawa or Consulates General of India in Toronto and Vancouver through their respective websites, or the MADAD portal madad.gov.in. Registration would enable the High Commission and the Consulates General to better connect with Indian citizens in Canada in the event of any emergency or untoward incident.

Canada Escalates Campaign Against India Over Nijjar

Quick notes: IMEC | Gigacasting...

• India-Middle East-Europe economic corridor to counter China? The new trade corridor linking India and the Mideast to Europe is being hailed as a modern version of the Spice Route. "The project is a geopolitical game changer and will also benefit Southeast Asian countries."
  
  “Chinese officials know that when it comes to infrastructure building, they are the No. 1 in the world. They are the ones who have the deep pockets, and they know BRI is 10 years ahead.” Yet the BRI finds itself on shaky ground as well.
  
  "Great geopolitical idea, but it doesn’t make much economic sense"

• Khalistanis increase vulnerability of Indian diplomats: (article from 13 July 2023): The campaign suggests that the Indian intelligence agencies are playing the Israeli playbook in hunting down wanted terrorists.
  
  The Khalistani 'movement' has seen deaths or killing of four of its top leaders in the last six months. They include Khalistan Tiger Force chief Harmeet Singh Nijjar shot dead in Canada on June 19, Khalistan Commando Force chief Paramjit Singh Panjwar killed in Lahore on May 6, Sikhs for Justice leader Avtar Singh Khanda who ostensibly died of cancer in a UK hospital last month and a narco-terrorism accused Khalistan exponent, Harmeet Singh alias Happy PhD, who was shot in Lahore in 2020.
  
  Other than Khalistani terrorists, in the last six months several Kashmiri extremists have been mysteriously killed by gunmen in Pakistan where they were sheltered.

Trudeau Alleges India Behind Murder of Khalistani Separatist in Canada

Canada's Trudeau has just nakedly accused India of assassinating Khalistani activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey, BC:

American Left made Putin their scapegoat and whipping boy. Now Canada's Left want to make Modi their whipping boy. I'm waiting for the Congis to jump in as well.

It's time for India to shut down the Canadian consulate in Punjab.

the latest AI scam: deepfake voice calls asking for money

beware of deepfake voice calls. someone can clone your voice from as little as a 3-second sample, and then use it to defraud others. so don't do money transactions on the basis of a phone call from someone who appears to be your associate.

"Like Shiv Mala, wear Sonia Mala"

A disease called KKKaangress: Telangana Congress chief calls upon Congress activists to take 'Sonia Deeksha' similar to 'Ayyappa Deeksha' to bring the party to power. "Like Ayyappa and Shiva Mala, embrace 'Congress Deeksha' by wearing 'Sonia Mala' and strive towards attaining 'Indiramma Rajyam'”.

Quick notes: Super bugs | Earthing...

• Risk of 'Superbug' infections at Kumbh Mela: Clinics at Kumbh Mela have prescribed an excessive amount of antibiotics to the tens of thousands of pilgrims, primarily arriving with respiratory tract infections.
  
  Antibiotics disrupt gut bacteria: Every course of antibiotics disrupts our gut bacteria because antibiotics aren't targeted enough to only kill the pathogenic bacteria causing the infection. Instead, they go after all bacteria in our guts - 'Collateral impact'.

• US takes on Google in landmark antitrust trial: The stakes for Google are enormous if Judge Amit P. Mehta upholds any or all of the US govt’s arguments. Remedial action could involve a break up of Google’s far flung business or an order to revamp the way it operates. The company has faced major legal action in Europe, where it was fined more than 8.2 billion euros for various antitrust violations, although those decisions are under appeal.

Quick notes: Yangtse clash | Gurkha regiment...

• Claude Arpi: The 2022 Yangtse Clash: China's failed attempt to grab Holy Waterfalls in Arunachal... Many believe that Guru Padmasambhava still offers protection to the Indian soldiers who guard this remote scenic spot.



• The pain of Nepal's Gurkhas over Agnipath: India on average recruited about 1,400 Nepali citizens into its Gurkha regiments every year. There are about 35,000 Nepali Gurkhas currently serving in the Indian army, including in Kashmir and the northeastern parts of the country.
  
  'What haven't the Gorkhas done for the Indian Army?' In the Battle of Nalapani 1814, which was the first encounter between the Gorkhas and the British East India Company, the myth of British invincibility was broken. The manner in which the Gorkha army overran Sikkim, Kumaon, Garhwal and Himachal Pradesh had impressed the British. The Gorkha empire at that time spread from the Teesta in the east to Satluj in the west -- a total of 17,000 square miles.



• BRICS == Chinese vehicle? Beijing is the prime mover pushing for expanding the BRICS membership, using it as a vehicle for a Chinese diplomatic thrust.
