The hindu vote is divided. Each election reiterates this fact. There must exist many social, political & cultural reasons for it & experts have expounded on it. The first General Elections was largely a unified vote for the INC, winning 364 of the 489 contested seats.+

The vote share was only 45 % for the INC, ppl had overwhelmingly voted for the Congress!
In 2019, Modi led NDA won by a majority vote share of 45% ! So much for the Congress & state dynast parties raking up vote share! #Politics +
A hindu united vote is a dream of the BJP, but are they taking steps to realise it? Caste politics aside. Instilling a sense of oneness through shared history & tradition wd be the natural steps to achieve such a goal. A longer process, which must start at the school level.+
Our rich ancient traditions, progress made in science, cultural traditions which aid in preserving nature must be a part of the syllabus.
Heroes of indic civilisation Hemu Vikramaditya, Shivaji Maharaj, king of Kottayam Pazhassi Raja, so many more great names.+
The revolutionary leaders who actually fought the war of independence be it Vasudev Balwant Phadke, Savarkar, Khudiram Bose, Rajguru, incidentally it is his jayanti today, Bhagat Singh, Batukeshwar Dutt, the names are unending, their heroics need to be taught in detail.+
Instead we are taught about mughals, their architecture, glorifying their victory & cinema which romanticises them. British looted India from its teak to its gems. We venerate them for building infra which only aided them to loot our nation.+
India has fought 4 wars since independence. Some of these battles were eponymous, battle of Asal Uttar, Longowal, the kargil war, our young generation will be proud of these heroes only if they are taught about it. Hindu pride is not only about religion it is civilisational.+
Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel says Socrates.
Let our schools bring about hindu resurgence through education.

I'm going to do two history threads on Ethiopia, one on its ancient history, one on its modern story (1800 to today). 🇪🇹

I'll begin with the ancient history ... and it goes way back. Because modern humans - and before that, the ancestors of humans - almost certainly originated in Ethiopia. 🇪🇹 (sub-thread):


The first likely historical reference to Ethiopia is ancient Egyptian records of trade expeditions to the "Land of Punt" in search of gold, ebony, ivory, incense, and wild animals, starting in c 2500 BC 🇪🇹


Ethiopians themselves believe that the Queen of Sheba, who visited Israel's King Solomon in the Bible (c 950 BC), came from Ethiopia (not Yemen, as others believe). Here she is meeting Solomon in a stain-glassed window in Addis Ababa's Holy Trinity Church. 🇪🇹


References to the Queen of Sheba are everywhere in Ethiopia. The national airline's frequent flier miles are even called "ShebaMiles". 🇪🇹
@EricTopol @NBA @StephenKissler @yhgrad B.1.1.7 reveals clearly that SARS-CoV-2 is reverting to its original pre-outbreak condition, i.e. adapted to transgenic hACE2 mice (either Baric's BALB/c ones or others used at WIV labs during chimeric bat coronavirus experiments aimed at developing a pan betacoronavirus vaccine)

@NBA @StephenKissler @yhgrad 1. From Day 1, SARS-COV-2 was very well adapted to humans .....and transgenic hACE2 Mice


@NBA @StephenKissler @yhgrad 2. High Probability of serial passaging in Transgenic Mice expressing hACE2 in genesis of SARS-COV-2


@NBA @StephenKissler @yhgrad B.1.1.7 has an unusually large number of genetic changes, ... found to date in mouse-adapted SARS-CoV2 and is also seen in ferret infections.

@NBA @StephenKissler @yhgrad We adapted a clinical isolate of SARS-CoV-2 by serial passaging in the ... Thus, this mouse-adapted strain and associated challenge model should be ... (B) SARS-CoV-2 genomic RNA loads in mouse lung homogenates at P0 to P6.
