This is not the brutality of the Taliban or ISIS; this happened in Bihar. Santosh Singh allegedly questioned ambedkaarrs roles in independence, after which he was assaulted and paraded around half-naked. If this is not harassment, oppression, brutality and injustice, then what is?

The random stranger standing infront of you is recording you and you don’t even realise.
Now you’re 24*7 under someone’s surveillance. Is this good technology?

There are endless arguments about whether India is doing better or worse. Everyone has their narrative set but no one cares to actually look what the actual data is.

But actually looking at the data can be surprisingly difficult. The numbers are spread across government reports, surveys, PDFs and different portals, often with different definitions and time periods.

So I built India Over Time, which started as a curiosity and turned into a full project of its own.

It brings together public data across different sectors indicators, and lets you explore how India has changed, how states compare, and where India stands relative to other countries.

It's still very much a work in progress, so I'd genuinely appreciate feedback. If something looks wrong or misleading, or if there are datasets or questions you'd like to see added, let me know.

This country needs the officers like him

Lindsay Clancy, a former nurse from Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of killing her three children on January 24, 2023... And she is now facing an ongoing trial regarding it.

What has happened is soo horrible & heartbreaking, and there is a bigger picture to the story, Lindsay was suffering from severe Postpartum Psychosis & other issues related to her mental health, she was on medication, she wasn't well mentally because of postpartum & everything... So, she reached out to her partner for help, explained that she was having intrusive thoughts & she is not herself at times, she reached out to mental & medical institutions for help, she was literally begging for help, and everyone ignored her cries for help, and weeks later, the unthinkable happened.

There is even a section of people that think Lindsay is a monster for happened, but who do you think is suffering the most ? Who do you think is carrying the weight of the dead ? She was ill, she needed help, and everyone turned a blind eye... The system that she was in failed her, those that ignored her cries for help failed her... Let's not create/make situations that create more tragic stories like Lindsay.

We don't really talk about what women have to endure after giving birth, they don't just suffer physically, they pay a mental toll as well. Some never heal, they have to deal with that for a long term. I can't even begin to fathom what women have to go through & deal with. And there isn't proper treatment for what comes after delivery in many places.

And also, mental health isn't really talked about nor treated right in many parts of our world, including India, infact ours is one of the worst places when it comes to mental health awareness and treatment, most people know nothing, mental health issues are treated as literal jokes or as trivial issues by most people, because they're not aware and aren't taught well. We need to spread awareness, teach empathy to our people & the young. People need to learn what it means to have children, and what women have to endure or go through in this process, even some women aren't aware of what could happen to their bodies & mental health during & after pregnancies.

Let's not give rise to tragedies like Lindsay.
