India detains pigeon on suspicion of spying for Pakistan Officials believe the pigeon had flown across the border with a secret code tagged to its foot An intrepid Pakistani ‘spy’ pigeon is facing a life behind bars in India. The allegation was made after Geeta Devi, a resident of the Kathua district of Indian-administered Kashmir, reported a bird – painted pink and carrying a coded ring tagged to its foot – flew into her home on Sunday night. The Indian Border Security Force passed the pigeon on to the police, who launched an investigation and logged the animal as a ‘Pak Suspected Spy.’ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/05/26/india-detains-pigeon-suspicion-spying-pakistan/

So when you open Temples, you should open churches n mosques too. Stop playing politics with religion. I’m surprised that you have still not learnt your lessons with whatever has been happening.

In the ancient times such people were called Rakshasas and it divine to kill those. In the current time, it takes several years and billions of rupees expenditure for the government to punish them and send them to gallows. Instead of giving a death sentence or jailing them for life, chemical castration should be made legal. Death sentence does not seem to be a great deterrent but castration with name publicized will be far more effective., I think.

From Henry James on NMC CFO exits UAE with family and housemaid on repatriation flight to India

Talking about this 2000 crore loan, as I said, the collateral is his various real estate assets in India but I am fairly confident the valuation of those assets was when the real estate was at its peak and it was bogus. Now with the oncoming, assured recession the real estate is going to collapse and may come to 25% of its market peak value. So 2000 crore Bank of Baroda collateral might only be worth 500 crore when its auctioned. So Bank of Baroda is going to have to take a massive hit on their balance sheet. The news is that they have already obtained an Indian court order to attach/freeze all those properties. I have never been a fan of booming real estate (In fact I have been its vocal critic for several years) booming real estate gives a false sense of prosperity to the nation and helps crooks get fraudulent loans using that real estate as over-priced collateral. Now banks will get everything they deserve. Chances are that he has taken out similar loans in several other Indian banks too, it’s just that we are yet to hear about them. Banking regulations in India are lax in the sense that it allows banks to conceal toxic loans from disclosure for several years and the public gets to know about them only at the last stages when banks can no longer recoup any money from the borrower. It’s been that way for several decades and our dear Modi-G hasn’t done anything meaningful on that front. Instead his government encourages banks to be reckless because Modi has this bogus 5 trillion dollar economy vision but looking at the way things are going we may indeed get a 5 trillion dollar economy but the currency is going to be Zimbabwean Dollars instead of USD. This pandemic has given a massive kick in the guts to the commercial real estate. Now working from home is going to be the norm. Companies like Wipro, TCS have already announced that, with or without virus, 75% of their workforce will be permanently WFH by 2022 – that implies other companies will follow suit – which means commercial real estate will collapse by 75%. In fact there is no need anymore for real estate in big cities. White collar jobs can be done from people’s native places as long as they have internet and phone. So, in short, this 2000 crore Bank of Baroda loan is goooooooooooovinda. Let’s see how many other Indian banks come forward with disclosures.

From Henry James on NMC CFO exits UAE with family and housemaid on repatriation flight to India

Another bombshell – It has come to light the main accused in NMC scandal is about to default on Rs. 2000 crore loan from Bank of Baroda/Vijaya bank. Pledge/collateral was his Indian real estate. Now he can’t give “fraudulent signatures by rogue employees” excuse, can he? He is in all likelihood going to end up on the streets. Hopefully he has a non-pledged house which is transferred to his kin so he can spend his remaining years in dignity. And he can’t run away to London either because the UK police will welcome him with open arms. As regards the “escape” of this NMC CFO in the first Covid rescue flight, if he wasn’t assisted by the UAE locals in escaping then how come the UAE authorities have not given a press statement or contacted Interpol? This is all drama. In fact the Kerala journalists even contacted the CFO’s relatives to verify the “death in the family” excuse and it turns out to be a blatant falsehood. Nobody in his family had died in the recent past. His mother died years ago while his father is ailing.

From d-vers gallery NYC on Will lockdown 4.0 differ from state to state? It might

I can’t imagine all the things we get frustrated about in life matters. All the time invested in taking into consideration the several things that people encounter every single day is in fact really important, as no other man is going to deal with your life for any of us. I feel that men and women have to be even more sane. Knowledge is superb, however, so much of anything you think about is indeed abstract. Having a cup of kava is a zen activity that takes one back to the present moment. We need to be more in the here and today, without being overwhelmed by existence and the drama we face every day.

Kundapur should have a modern Hospital, either private or Government, where people can be treated and saved in an emergency, instead of being brought to the Kasturba Hospital in Manipal, that is not only a 50 minutes drive, but at the same time, a patient has to be in the hands of medical students and interns, as Consulting Doctors are either not available or always busy.

From Siva on Be Vocal for Local

The PM’s call was not a Swadeshi Call. It was about buying local. This call was spurred by the rural migration. If we see the light of rural migrants we all get mad. Everyone gets mad at the Government and say Government/s should have handled better. yes, it could have been handled better. But PMs thinking is not ‘I will do this better next time’ but rather ‘what we can do to not get in to such situation’. He definitely meant we should increase our local employment. This is especially true for those areas from where people have to migrate even for a normal Rozi-Roti, and not for a rosy-life! If each area develops a few products based on the local raw material and labor, a lot of people won’t have to migrate. The locals should encourage by buying these products. Once the critical mass of sales is reached, the local manufacturers can improve quality and send it to other regions. This will make the region prosperous too. When this happens, nation becomes self-reliant. Not too many people will migrate or need to migrate. So rather than looking at this as Swadeshi vs Videshi. Look at it as emphasis to local. Whenever you purchase something, think if there is a alternative available that is made locally and by local people. If so, encourage that. If there is no local alternative available, at least some should think if an alternative can be made locally with local material and labor and start a manufacturing company. The local administration and politicians should support this going beyond normal call of duty. Alas, looks like most of our politicians or administrators are taking this as another slogan-opportunity. That is why I liked this article by Anil D’Souza especially the last couple of paragraphs. He has asked thought provoking question if Modi is a changed man. I dont think he has changed but certainly PM’s thinking definitely has been affected by disturbing scenes of migrant labor suffering. So he is sharpening his vision in this direction for a long-term solution as an atonement for the short-term inefficiency and ineffectiveness in handling migrant situation.

I appreciate the your courage Mr. Rao to speak up, & put forth your views. I do agree to all the points you have brought in there, i personally feel that this does not hold good only for industrialists, but for other small business undertakings & and also other citizens. Being self reliant is necessary to stand strong in the present . We do not require any freebies and do not depend on them.Let there be no corruption at all levels & let the taxation be reasonable. i hope our Honorable Prime Minister will take note.

“When every hope is gone, ‘when helpers fail and comforts flee,’ I find that help arrives somehow, from I know not where. Supplication, worship, prayer are no superstition; they are acts more real than the acts of eating, drinking, sitting or walking. It is no exaggeration to say that they alone are real, all else is unreal”- Mahatma Gandhi

From Girish Hegde on Does the Dist Admin/MCC Care about Migrants & their Social Distancing? 1464 Migrants Boarded Train to UP

Hello Alfie. I think your articles are generally unbiased but in this case you have missed the mark completely. The plight of these poor people is terrible. Calling them names lie ‘Covidiots’ when they have lost any sense of right or wrong or public good is uncalled for. What would you do if your family was starving and suffering for a disease which no one had a cure for and you did not create. ‘Social distancing’ a western catchphrase is possible when you can afford distance between people. Not when you have to sleep rough and don’t know where your next meal is coming from. The police has done enough of ‘Straightening up’ these people. Let them go home with dignity. Please don’t demonise or dehumanise them. I have read your previous articles. You are better than that.

From Henry James on NMC CFO exits UAE with family and housemaid on repatriation flight to India

A piddly credit card loan not paid up on time can get you banged up in UAE and to say the person at the heart of $4 billion fraud is allowed to walk past the UAE emigration tells you there are far powerful people involved in this scam. This scam goes back by at least 10 years and to say this guy was CFO only until 2017 as a a convenient excuse tells you this is all a hog wash. He was assisted by the local towel heads who are part of this scam. The new NMC board (i.e. the bankruptcy administrators) appointed by UK court reached Abu Dhabi 4 days ago and are in 2 weeks mandatory virus quarantine. After the quarantine period they were supposed to go deeper into the NMC accounts to do forensic analysis. So this NMC CFO escape 2 days ago was well-timed. Now the attempt in the UAE social media is being made to blame modi alleging he arranged for the CFO to escape since Shetty is RSS. Indian government is running a rescue mission of hundreds and thousands of its citizens in the middle of a global crisis. How are they expected to micromanage everything as to who gets to travel? NMC fraud a crime that took place in UAE and the person traveled was at the heart of the scandal. How can he be allowed to travel? For petty bank loan dues I have heard UAE stops people from leaving the country and they were not aware of this guy? The CB of UAE had ordered all the economic departments to blacklist key people of NMC. This guy should have been on the top of their list. How did they left out this guy? Isn’t that far too convenient? CFO is someone who should be interrogated first in a financial scandal engulfing a company. Look at the farce. If this can happen, then I can safely surmise UAE is either a failed state or a rogue state. You can’t say it’s neither. Looks like UAE government wants to cover up this case because their own are also involved in this. They want this case to go away. Only the UAE banks and Western investors and LSE want to go deeper.

From Richard Thomas on Digging Never Stops in City! Traffic Jam near Nanthur Junction as 'Box Drain' Work is Going On

Box type concrete enclosures for storm water drainage on one side and for running cables of MESCOM and BSNL on the other side, was also constructed in Udupi town some 12 years ago,on the new 4 lane Malpe to Manipal highway, that serves as a footpath too for pedestrians and as well for the one too many Licensed cobblers and illegal vendors. The picture pasted by you of Fuji Silvertech Box Drain T25, is a far cry from what will be constructed locally by some influential small time contractor, as is the case of these badly executed Box drains in Udupi on the Malpe – Manipal highway. However, even a bad poor quality job is approved and accepted by the Ministry of Public Works and the Municipality of Udupi – as those in authority do not walk and use these Box drain footpaths. These Box type drain cum conduit/cable runners have also been constructed near the oldest college in Mangalore near PVS circle. Send your photographer and news team on the Malpe – Manipal highway to check out the quality and reality of the Box drain technology executed in Udupi – these works being undertaken in Mangalore wont be any different! Substandard and inferior in all engineering sense! With MESCOM and BSNL pillars running right in the middle of these modern pavements. Time will tell.

This could be due to capture myopathy and not drug overdose. It’s seen in the article that the guar was exhausted before it was darted by the disturbance caused by the people.This can lead to capture myopathy and death of the animal. I know several wildlife vets who have lost their life during this process and commotion created by the public. The police force should be able to control the public. The post immobilisation monitoring is hence very important and vital. The animal should be transported taking all precautions to prevent aspiration and cardiopulmonary failure. Sad that the state is not appointing full time forest vets. See your neighbour Kerala has posted one forest vet per district to take care of their wildlife. Why should Karnataka lack in this regard.

From A costa on COVID-19: India's repatriation flight tickets from UAE will cost more than regular fare

Such a major relief operation needs support of as many airlines that can participate so that Indians are brought back safely in as much less time as possible. they have gone through enough of hardships and even an extra day of wait is pure agony. the cynics will be cynical and ask as lot of questions as to why??/ at whose cost?? they sit in the comfort of their homes and haven’t felt what it is like to feel abandoned in a foreign land amidst a pandemic…far from the safety of home and in emotional turmoil. Their familiei too are stressed out beyond measure. So on human grounds, please dont delay this any further. Send flights to every state everyday, states like Goa and cities like mangalore etc have international airports, so please rope in other airlines too asap. With the pandemic everywhere, it is but humanitarian to get everyone back home asap.

Such a poignant reflection of one’s own impending death. His talent is not only in acting but in his eloquence of expressing the reflections of his fears. Some diseases come with a death sentence. We fight, and cry and are scared with the horrible possibilities of how death visits us. However, death also visits suddenly without warning in the form of a massive heart attack or in an accident like a bolt from nowhere. When the announcement comes in the form of a disease, there is time to lament over ourselves. To write our own obituary eloquently. Rest in peace Irfaan khan.

From Henry James on Small group of employees behind fraud at NMC Health, says B.R. Shetty

My prediction has turned out to be true – 6 US law firms have filed class action suit against NMC on behalf of the investors who have lost money, to demand compensation for losses due to the alleged securities fraud. This could run into several hundred millions but nobody has that kind of money as NMC already has more debt on its books than what they can handle, let alone compensating investors which means focus will turn on those who had allegedly committed the fraud. Now people alleged will lose their shirts, pants, lungi and everything. India is the safe place for now. But India has strong treaty with UAE where in a decree passed by a UAE court can be legally enforced in India (to even attach assets and hand it over to UAE). For criminal cases even extradition is also in the treaty. More over there will be diplomatic pressure from UK and US as their investors have lost money and importantly UK has lost its image as a prominent investor destination due to the NMC fraud. So, Indian lawyers need to be really creative. First remedy I recommend is to transfer of Indian assets to distant relatives ASAP. And when the extradition summons comes, start something like a chest pain or something to that effect and drag it on in the Indian courts for another 10 years. By then probably it’s time to buy the field anyway. A point to note – A lot of family members of the alleged and those in higher positions of the alleged’s group of companies are inside UAE. Until UAE squeezes the last penny they won’t be able to get out of the country.

From Henry James on Small group of employees behind fraud at NMC Health, says B.R. Shetty

Let’s for argument’s sake say what has been clarified so far through the above press release is true but then how do you explain the financial scandal at UAE Exchange/Finablr which is a different entity than NMC? In the last 48 hours it has come to light that there is nearly a billion dollar black hole on Finablr’s books and it was so far hidden from the auditors. Where is that money gone? At Finablr the accused is still the chairman so he can’t give the NMC employee excuse. Trust me, this is a classic 420 case. If the accused has not clarified why he was part of the NMC board until March when he did not have the qualifying stake, how valid is the above clarification? Whatever reported stake was totally misstated to pull wool over investors’ eyes. That in itself was criminal. West will never trust another Indian businessman ever again. Earlier this year the problems in the group started to exacerbate and there wasn’t enough money even to pay the NMC staff salary. That time money was illegally diverted from UAE Exchange (i.e. the money people remit to their home countries). Normally remittance money clears within the same day of the transaction but if you go to twitter today there are people whose money has been withheld without any explanation for more than 2 months now. How does the defendant explain that? One of my distant relatives wanted to use their service in GCC in January this year to make payment to the overseas suppliers but was told the money would be debited from his account immediately but remittance would be done after 15 days. There itself I got the whiff of things being not kosher at the emerald city. Now, the accused is unlikely to ever set foot in the GCC. As I said clearly there are other big local sharks involved in this scam and for their survival they do not want the accused back in the UAE. The lenders and the investors will suffer. UAE may cover it up and people may forget it after some time but UAE has been caught at the worst possible economic downturn. On one hand oil prices have plummeted and on the other, they are fighting the epidemic. This NMC drama was the last thing they wanted. NMC brand is unlikely to survive because if UAE government bails it out then the western investors will file a class action suit for compensation and at the same time the new management will be liable to clear the debt. So if I were to wager a bet, NMC brand will disappear. All the assets could be sold off to condors at bargain basement price. But UAE will lose its reputation and nobody will invest in that country. Just to be clear, I do not have a dog in the fight but my interest is only from the viewpoint of 20000 NMC staff who have been left in the dark about their careers in the middle of the worst economic downturn. Second interest is about the reputational damage this scandal has caused to Indians. Now onwards no Indian will ever be trusted in the Middle East again. In Indians there is total lack of integrity and sense of corporate responsibility. We have seen it times and again, be it Mallya, ILFS, PNB, PMC, Jet Airways, HDIL, Yes Bank Choksi, Nirav Modi, and this is the latest kid on the block. I keep repeating this – we do not have strict laws against corporate malpractice where as in the West such crimes get minimum 25 years in jail. That’s what we are lacking. Punishing one person with 25 years jail terms will bring the rest of them in line. Another thing that I have learnt from this drama is that the so-called “successful” businessmen are economically illiterate. They simply do not understand the business cycle. They think there is never-ending supply of new credit/money entering into the system so all their embezzlement could be tided over. But in economy there are ups and downs. In Buffet’s own words It’s during the ‘downs’ that people who were swimming naked get caught out. That’s exactly happened in this case. They thought the scam could be covered up by continuing to grow the ponzi bigger but trees don’t grow all the way to the moon.

From TGG on Small group of employees behind fraud at NMC Health, says B.R. Shetty

NMC, the company B R Shetty founded was listed in London stock exchange in 2012. B R Shetty was the Chairman of the NMC board till 2017 and played an active role in its management till then. In 2019, the report on non disclosure of $2.7 Bn in debt was published. This is a serious matter as NMC was now a public company with thousands of employees and shareholders. Therefore, I am not sure if Mr.Shetty can feign ignorance of such a huge amount of debt in his company. There is also an allegation that these amounts were used to promote other businesses owned by Mr. Shetty. It is pertinent to note that it was in 2018 that Mr. Shetty and his son launched their financial services firm Finablr and acquired TImesMoney the same year. In the interest of the thousands of NMC employees, its shareholders, the banks and the reputation of India, Mr. Shetty must submit himself to the UAE and UK authorities and be accountable for this financial fiasco which involves $billions of public money.

From Henry James on Small group of employees behind fraud at NMC Health, says B.R. Shetty

$4 billion unaccounted debt can not build up in 1 or 2 years. My view is this goes back at least 10 years. No bank will keep mum over billions lent to one entity up until the scam is exposed. No lender puts all their eggs in one basket without there being corruption at the very top. Such massive amounts lent makes an entry in banker’s gazette distributed through the central banks so the whole banking system is aware of the financial exposure. Central banks do these things to mitigate systemic risks to the whole economy. We are talking about an amount which is the entire GDP of some of the tinpot countries. This whole thing smacks of the rot at the very top. I am absolutely certain a few prominent local towel heads are involved in this too. May be it goes back to 10-12 years when they were trying to float NMC on London Stock Exchange. They must have misrepresented/misstated the company finances just for convincing the UK regulator so they could lure the western investors. They must have pocketed the auditors too. They might have started small with the lenders with nice kickbacks (like how Mallya pulled it off) but the ponzi grew to unmanageable levels over time but they felt they were OK as long as they stuck with each other and never revealed it to the outsiders. This muddy waters expose figuratively threw muddy water over the whole scandal and the people involved are now trying to hide by blaming each other. The first thing the accuseds do in such circumstances is to muddy the water (if you pardon the pun!) to an extent the public gets confused. In psychology it’s called the gaslighting. This news article above is exactly that. All said and done our man is in deep trouble. Looks like biriyani in the middle of the desert if he ever steps into GCC. Those who lost money in the stock will bring in a class action suite for compensation. If UAE does not compensate them, then they will not be able to access international financial markets. And now UAE needs that access more than ever. So UAE government can not cover it up period. Let’s see what the UK regulator’s investigation comes up with.

From Henry James on Small group of employees behind fraud at NMC Health, says B.R. Shetty

If I were to put a finger on it, I would say it’s a world class heist where many people are involved – the accuser, accused, lender, locals and they all wanted to pull something really big because these people are untouchable in UAE. Without Muddy Waters exposé this would have continued for a while. Listing on LSE turned out to be their undoing as they were subject to public scrutiny. NMC insider leaked the malpractice info to Muddy Waters and then they couldn’t hide it no more and hence started to distance from each other and our man left holding the bag. There is no honour among *******. The clarification above seems too vague and does not present anything other than what a defense lawyer worth his salt would come up with. What doesn’t this letter not clarify about misrepresentation of the stake and attending the board meeting when one was not legally allowed to? That itself is enough to nail the case. This case can be covered up at India and GCC but not in the West because thousands of people have lost money that they had honestly invested in the stock. The regulators in the West will go far deeper into the forensic investigations because they are answerable to investors at LSE or else they will lose their edge. So people can deny and deflect all they want and the sheep in India may buy it but it doesn’t wash in front smart people in the West. Moreover Indian government is still waiting for the investment money promised to Kashmir, Kashi and elsewhere especially when such grand public announcements were made. Until that is fulfilled they won’t care. In UAE government has distanced itself well in advance. SO god only can save the royal family.

If billions can be embezzled using impersonation without one entity knowing anything about it then I consider UAE to be a banana republic. Even a 5 grand wire transfer to new a new payee these days raises money laundering alert these days and to say billions were siphoned off without the banks or the NMC board or the regulator being aware of it is pure fiction.

Have they checked how many of them had died of communicable diseases? If you are afraid now, you should be afraid all the time and should move out from there. In fact, fortunately for these people, the crematorium there has a incinerator which means the body can and will get burnt in a closed chamber. Along with that Viruses will also get burnt.

I was doubly proud as I hail from Mangalore and practiced in the UK as a fertility specialist for nearly forty years. It brought tears to my eyes when I saw the Vedic of emergency vehicles passing by your house to show their gratitude for your hard work. God bless you always and stay safe and healthy.

From Siva on Women, allegedly drunk, misbehave with police on lockdown duty

Why did the police remove the barricade before noting down the datils? Is that not the standard procedure? In the US, they note down the vehicle number first (automatically) and then the DL. If DL is not there the person could be arrested. So, this is not such a complicated procedure. When there were multiple policemen, why could not do all this? It is too sad that such arrogant people escape. It is a shame for the police too.

Sorry to see the plight of birds. At the same time, I have read another article that cautions against feeding primates. The article says in our enthusiasm to feed the primates, we need to be careful not to pass the virus to the pirates. That would cause the problem to go out of hand by spreading the virus among the primates. The article did not mention anything about feeding the birds. So not sure if birds can get the virus, would they suffer or if they transmit asymptotically. I would request experts to provide a guideline on this so that birds will not go hungry as well as they will be safe.

From Henry James on 85-year-old Covid cured dies in Kerala

The biggest blunder the West is committing during this epidemic is deliberately overlooking the distinction between those people dying with the Covid as opposed to those dying of it. This is a convenient manipulation of data by the vested interests in order to justify their lockdown. It appears as though every death is being lumped into the category to show the virus as being the reason. The more I read about this pandemic the more it is making me to question the actions being taken. How can one squarely attribute a 85-year old’s death is due to virus when it’s a natural age to die anyway? People at that age die of several complications as a norm when only one would be the root cause because at that age body organs are not in the best of health so they do not cooperate well when another part of the body is affected. If someone in their 30s died of covid I would buy into that argument. But majority of the deaths are over 70s. And what is this obsession with someone wanting to live up to be 100 anyways when you are at a stage where all you do is stink of p*ss and **** and not one person wants to come close to you and those who do, do it reluctantly? By 70 all the main events in one’s life will be over. Any more life after that should be treated only as a blessing as opposed to be a fundamental right. In the middle ages the average life span of humans was only 45. It’s only after the 2nd world war we have assumed that one has to live as much as possible. I do not have a problem with that view per se as long as they can look after themselves through their own finances (or their families) as opposed to being dependent on the state and the society but in the West everyone is dependent on the state to look after them to live up to 100 while those countries are already bankrupt and sucking the blood from the younger population in order to keep the 95 years olds in the ICU. If you really ask me, this virus scare is a convenient power-grab plot by the leftists in the West to create a police state just like how the US used 9/11 to pass the Snoopers’ Charter and we lost all our rights. The fact that those good-for-nothing TSAs who cup your genitals at the gates every time you pass through an airport is the testament to that and that’s because you all allowed it to happen. Now the megalomaniac Bill Gates is hellbent on planting a chip in all of us and not one ****er is speaking out against it. What liberty is there going to be left for us once that happens. Just think. Moreover many people in the West hate Trump to win the 2nd term. That tells you everything you need to know about this drama. And it amazes me why the East (especially India) has fallen for this evil socialist power-grab plot in the West when we have nothing major to worry about. Do you really know how many thousands of people die due of unnatural causes in our country every day? Compare that to the total number of COVID deaths in the last 4 weeks. What does that tell you? We have successfully managed to destroy our economy. Now even the government is broke and legislators have been asked to take pay cut. That’s a really bad situation. Karnataka government is so bankrupt that it is thinking of selling family jewels. Do you really comprehend the tough days that are going to be ahead of us? Now learn to live with the consequences. Just count how many families are going to be destroyed due to unemployment, hunger, depression, broken relationships etc. and contrast that with the Covid casualties. Is it all going to be worth it? To make it worse most of the Middle Eastern expatriates are going to be permanently returning to India soon and will be competing in the already ailing job market. As for those in the West, in all likelihood, the economic depression caused by this drama is going to be so severe that majority of H1B visa holders will be forced to return to India. Those permanent residents will have a tough time anyway when they find that their 401Ks and retirement plans have all gone down the drain. And another lesson – Never fall for the mainstream thought. Majority are almost always wrong. Force yourself to be a contrarian and go deeper into the facts, beyond the headlines. Instead of reading only one news paper or watching one news channel, try other sources too. Some countries are even thinking of passing a law to imprison those who do not agree with their version of the virus narrative and are being branded as fake news creators. They don’t event want to discuss this matter on public forums. What I am saying is allow a healthy debate to take place and then people can decide who is right and who is wrong.

From Henry James on Bengaluru Police issue 2 lakh essential services passes

In case you didn’t realise this is how police state comes…inch by inch, little by little. The public is acting like frog in the boiling water. The emperor knows if water is too hot, frog will jump out. More people die of unnatural deaths than the corona virus casualties till date. If anyone is interested look at Sweden. Apart from banning mass gathering (over 50 people) and isolating the elderly, they did not lockdown the country and yet their covid casualties are no worse than other countries. So that makes you think if there is some other motive behind all this drama. Don’t get me wrong, the virus is real, but it’s no different than the flu virus with the only difference being no vaccine exists so far. But it’s not something like a bubonic plague. So total shutting down of the country is gross over-reaction. We all will laugh at this in a few years time, just like how people ridicule the Y2K bug which turned out to be a damp squib.

I have gone through both the articles and didn’t find wrong in them. If the old man is suffering from dementia the doctor who is treating the man should advice his family members about the seriousness of the disease. After the incident one should not blame the police or media. Both of them are doing their duties. What if the old man hit the car to someone and died? The police have done their duty but the old man was so rude and using very bad language.

From Melroy C.F. Fernandes on COVID-19 Lockdown: Case filed against Man for Obstructing Police on Duty

clearly this man is immensely frustrated at being tied down by his servant, the government, and is only asking for his freedom and liberty. I don’t fault in him or the policemen. It’s difficult for both of them. Policemen are treated in an undignified and disrespectful manner by their “seniours” throughout the day, right from the time of their recruitment to their employment, following practices from the “durbars” of authoritarian Maharajas, Sultans, and the British Raj. Thus, policemen at the ground level behave in the same manner with the powerless general public. This cannot change until the IAS and IPS (ICS as a whole) get off their high-horses, break the cycle of servility and subjugation, roll-up their sleeves and implement modern and scientific principles of efficient management. In this case, the policemen were indeed doing their best, given their circumstances. However, the elderly man needed someone to counsel him and speak to him more calmly, soothingly and respectfully.

From Narendra Nayak on Did P C Ray discover hydroxychloroquine?

This is from the report which has been quoted above: “What are chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine? Bayer invented the medicine chloroquine in 1934, and it has been used for decades to treat malaria throughout the world. Hydroxychloroquine was invented during World War II to provide an alternative with fewer side effects.” CHLOROQUINE was invented in 1934. Its derivative HYROXYCHLOROQUINE was invented during world war 2 which was certainly not in 1934! A patent for its manufacturing was in 1950! Hydroxychloroquine is a drug that was used originally to treat malaria, especially in patients who could not tolerate the similar compound chloroquine. It also has been used to combat autoimmune diseases such as lupus erythematosus. This is from https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/molecule-of-the-week/archive/h/Hydroxychloroquine.html? In 1950, chemists Alexander R. Surrey and Henry F. Hammer at the Sterling–Winthrop Research Institute (Rensselaer, NY) published a synthesis of hydroxychloroquine. The parent company, Sterling Drug, obtained a US patent on the compound and its method of preparation the same year. Please remember that choloroquine and hydroxychloroquine are two different compounds!

From Richard Thomas on Lockdown Extended up to April 30 - CM Yediyurappa

if the LOCKDOWN and social distancing and Curfews after certain permissible hours to shop, have so far not been successful to contain the spreading of this COVID-19 Virus, perhaps the experts should adopt to Plan B measures, that they should come up with. Indians have paid heed to staying at home, ringing bells, clapping hands, and lighting diyas and candles, but nothing has come of it so far! Simply extending LOCKDOWNS is resulting in soaring prices and shortages, and empty talks by Politicians that essentials will be made available and prices will be kept under control is not proving anything. The reality is getting worst with people who have to pay double the prices for vegetables, fruits, Fish and meats, with none of those in Authority who claim to be in control of the prices and availability situation, are doing anything to control the prices nor maintain the availability situation. Small examples before the lockdown are: Tomato selling at Rs.20.-/Kg is now selling for Rs.40./Kg., Carrot was Rs.40/Kg. is now selling for Rs.80 and Mutton was 450/Kg. is now selling for Rs.900/Kg. Fish is not available or exorbitantly priced. But none of these shops are closed down by the authorities.

Absolutely shameful. We are all stopping the religious celebrations, masses, sarvajanika pooja, prayer meets, it is shameful that the MLA wants to celebrate. When the whole world is suffering, you want to celebrate? Why do you guys show such low behavior? Is it not your duty to lead people in the right direction? We all have seen how prayer-meet in Delhi panned out to be. It is your leader Modi who called for lock-down. Looks like you don’t have respect for our prime-minister, your own leader! If your party has a little shame, they should not allow you to contest the election next time. I think you should atone by apologizing in public. You should make arrangements to send Prasad, cake or whatever else to the people of your constituency if you really want your birthday well-wishes.

Great that he did that after passing away in 1944 a year before the drug was discovered and five years before the process was patented and eleven years before it was permitted for use by FDA in 1955! We have heard of ghosts of Nehru and Gandhi doing a lot of negative work to sabotage the present regime but this is the first time that we hear the spirit of a rationalist-scientist doing it, that too for a change- positive work! Read this about him quoted from:https://www.famousscientists.org/prafulla-chandra-ray/ “Prafulla Ray wanted to use the marvels of science for lifting up the masses. He was a very passionate and devoted social worker and he participated eagerly and actively in helping famine and flood struck people in Bengal during the early 1920s. He promoted the khadi material and also established many other industries such as the Bengal Enamel Works, National Tannery Works and the Calcutta Pottery Works. He was a true rationalist and he was completely again the caste system and other irrational social systems. He persistently carried on this work of social reformation till he passed away.”

From B.G.MOHANDAS on Did P C Ray discover hydroxychloroquine?

Beginning in 1862 in Darjeeling, cinchona plantations flourished over the next several decades in the verdant hills as Malaria sent chill down the spine of people in vast swathes of the country. And it still does. In 2016, over half of India’s population (698 million) was at risk of contracting malaria, according to the World Malaria Report. The planters, however, started facing a crisis of sorts after introduction of synthetic-chemical production of quinine. “We are hopeful that due to increase in demand for anti-malaria drugs in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, cinchona plantation in Darjeeling will grow. We are hoping for good business after years of disappointment,” Samuel Rai, director of Cinchona Plantations, West Bengal, told PTI. India, which produces almost 70 per cent of the drug, relented and said it will be supplying the medicine to the neighbouring countries and also those that are badly affected by the pandemic. America tops the list of the countries ravaged by COVID-19 with more than 14,000 deaths reported so far. It has also begun clinical trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of adults hospitalized with coronavirus disease, according to the National Institutes of Health, which functions under the US Department of Health and Human Services. According to Rai, hydroxychloroquine is a synthetic molecule as it is derived from chloroquine, which is chemically processed quinine. Quinine derived from cinchona barks is natural, he said. Asked why he is bullish on doing good business, Rai said, “The surge in demand for anti-malaria medicines will boost natural production of quinine from cinchona barks.” Quinine sulphate, produced from dry barks of cinchona, is actually the quinine drug needed to treat malaria patients. “Since the demand for anti-malaria drugs has increased, we have received queries from Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh for purchase of dry cinchona barks. We are hopeful that naturally derived quinine could be useful (in the treatment of COVID-19),” he said. Cinchona plantations are exclusive to Darjeeling and Kalimpong in the country, Rai said. According to him, production of quinine has stopped in West Bengal since the closure of factories in 2001 as they failed to comply with good manufacturing practices (GMP) norms. “We are hopeful that it will recommence very soon,” he said. Kolkata-headquartered PSU company Bengal Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals managing director P M Chandraiah said it has a stock of maximum 10 lakh tablets of chloroquine phosphate (250 mg) which is used to treat the vector-borne disease. BPCL will not be able to supply more such drug due to shortage of key component and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), he said. ” while P C Ray founded company is credited with being the largest manufacturer of hyroxychloroquine it is far from the truth is wrong statement Sir”

Read this https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/covid-19-psu-with-chloroquine-capacity-idles-much-of-it/article31293828 that too it manufactures CHLOROQUINE at present and not HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE which it says can be made by a modification of the process. I do not what is the need to confuse quinine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinine) with chloroquine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloroquine) and hydroxychloroquine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxychloroquine). THE STATEMENT THAT BENGAL CHEMICALS DOES NOT PRODUCE EVEN A GRAM OF THE HYROXYCHLOROQUINE AT THE TIME OF MY WRITING THE ABOVE IS THE TRUTH. THE STATEMENT OF ITS MANAGING DIRECTOR QUOTED ABOVE STANDS FOR IT PLEASE READ THAT AGAIN-“Kolkata-headquartered PSU company Bengal Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals managing director P M Chandraiah said it has a stock of maximum 10 lakh tablets of chloroquine phosphate (250 mg) which is used to treat the vector-borne disease. BPCL will not be able to supply more such drug due to shortage of key component and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), he said.” Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine are not the same compound. Confusing between those and bringing in quinine which is a totally different compound made from cinchona bark just because they all have a common role of treatment of malaria reflects the lack of knowledge of the basic fundamentals.
