#FarmersAgitation #FarmerPolitics #FarmersProtestHijacked Learn the truth.
Arhtiyas (commission agents) who have been the main link between farmers and procurement agencies in the two states of Punjab and Haryana, launched their campaign against the Centre’s agri-marketing

 ordinances early as the three bills cleared by Parliament will adversely affect their business. There are over 30,000 registered Arhtiyas in Punjab and Haryana who are deeply entrenched in the system. They exercise a strong influence on agricultural activities and the politics of
both states. These 30,000 employ another 300,000 sub agents or sidekicks or people who would not have made it into doing anything anyplace were it not for the patronage network of these 30,000. But there are only 1500 farming villages in Punjab. 330,000 / 1500 is about 220 people
on average per village doing the work of middlemen.
Why is this the case?
We had a food shortage and a ship to mouth existence until the 1970’s. Norman Borlaug pioneered a variety of wheat which gave 10 X the yield but needed 3X the fertiliser. The Punjab was chosen as the
battleground against hunger. Enterprising Sikh farmers worked hard to Create what we know as the green revolution. Since there were huge shortages laws were made which didn’t allow for stockholding or selling at farm gates. Essential Commodities Act - APMC Act (farmers were
compelled to sell only at APMC’s to licensed traders - remember license permit quota Raj?) as an assurance to the farmer for his hard work. Minimum Support Prices were guaranteed no matter what the quantum was. Sarkar would pick up the produce and provide farmers with a minimum
amount as compensation per quintal or ton as the case maybe. Getting money out of the government treasury is a muck filled process. Thus was born the breed of middle men who walked the corridors of bureaucracy, government and worked corrupt sarkari babus. Political patronage
networks flourished. There was no sunset clause on this. Nobody foresaw a time of surplus production on food grains. As a result all other states such as Haryana, UP, Bihar, Rajasthan & MP all produce surfeits of Grain. They also have their own MSP mechanisms which have
proliferated and created similar political patronage networks. Since more is acquired at Mandis in Punjab, remember the central government promise grain from UP and or Bihar also finds its ways into the mandi system of Punjab. The thekedar comes and takes the theka of growing on
the land. For those unfamiliar with the word Theka it is also referred to as contract. There are grumblings about corporates contracting with farmers directly now. The reason is plenty of farmers do not much except receive their due at the end of each cropping season.
220 : 1 is
the ratio of middlemen to a single village in Punjab today. This business got integrated backwards. Corruption has been institutionalized. In both states, the commission agents double up as moneylenders and are known as ATMs of farmers. They financed 67% of the loans in unbanked
villages and 55% of the loans in areas where there is a bank in Punjab. That is why despite attempts to promote farmer producer organisations FPOs farmers preferred to fall back on commission agents. Significantly a large number of senior politicians in Haryana including the
families of former chief misters Bhajan Lal and O.P. Chautala were involved in the arhtiya business and had shops in Adampur and Sisa markets. The Jamkhedkar committee meanwhile reports that over 40% of the grain acquired under MSP by FCI is either unfit for consumption or is
simply wasted. One out of every Two kilos acquired is wasted. Years of perfidy have today given birth to this. MSP has ensured that there is no necessity to seek profitable enterprise. It is also given birth to the patronage networks which survive off the sarkari teat and refuse
to breakaway. It has given rise to a political class which thrives and survives of being Specialist Corrupt Thugs. The trucks being under weight and over paid for and the grades changing are common place practise, you can go for a few days to the mandi and figure out how to make
a killing by doing this. All this is paid for by us tax payers. The annual bill for this is approximately 8 lakh crores. Why don’t the farmers grow something else, something more profitable. If I’m being paid for doing precisely nothing. Why bother with competing. Where is
the incentive to compete? I would rather go and picket the roads leading into Delhi to ensure that the existing system is not threatened. Not only this the wheat that rots in the godowns of FCI are being sold at a very low price. It is bought by the breweries to make alcohol
owned by the same politicians who oppose these bills and as you may know the most alcohol consumption is in the state of Punjab. Pay attention to the farmer's movement of Punjab, where the green flag is hoisted while shouting slogans of Pakistan Zindabad; putting pictures of
Khalistani terrorists, anti-national slogans are shouted Indira Gandhi was blown, Modi will also blow. This is how calls are being made (it is all on YouTube.) Wise people understand that farmers will definitely not do such a thing. These powerful commission agents regard their
opposition to the three bills as a fight for survival. Successive state governments in Punjab and Haryana have tried to keep the arhtiyas in good humour, resulting in politically-aligned groups. The agri-marketing bills have now prompted the commission agents to form an umbrella
federation of arhtiyas of Punjab and Haryana to improve their lobbying power & together with anti-national elements who are just waiting for such an opportunity this #FarmersProtestHijacked to a level which is not benefitting the farmers in anyway. Let us be aware of the truth.

God is One
We Hindus regard both Shiva and Vishnu as the same and this is evident from the fact that in the ecstasy of our devotion, whether were are alone or are in groups, we exclaim "Haro-Hara" and "Govinda-Govinda", which (whose) names come to our lips spontaneously. The holy


days of Shivaratri and Janmashtami are divided from each other by exactly 180 days, and this seems to indicate that God in His aspect as Shiva protects us during one-half of the year, and in His aspect as Vishnu, in the other half. The traditional practice of boys and girls

collecting oil for their vigil on Shivaratri and Janmashtami nights, singing in chorus a song which means that Shivaratri and Sri Jayanti are the same, is another pointer to the identity of these two manifestations of the Divine. Apachaaranivrtti must precede Anugraha -

eradication of sins must precede blessings. So God as Hara destroy the sins of His devotees, while as Govinda, He protects them from harm. The expressions Hara-Hara and Govinda-Govinda come to children effortlessly. It is significant that Sri Shankara composed Bhaja Govindam when

he was a child and Sri Sambandar sang that Hara naama should envelop the world, when he too was a child. The Upanishads speak of God as Uma-sameta-Parameswara, and it is worthy of note that all children refer to God as Ummachi, which is obviously a contraction for Uma-Maheshwara.

#MahaPeriyava
One day Mahaperiyava with his service minded people went on a Padayatra to Thirukovilur. People of Thirukovilur gathered and waited for Mahaperiyava in the entrance of the Village. There was a a small path on the right hand side of the village which led to another


village called as Vasanthanalloor. He turned in that direction. Those with Him told,”Periyava, this village is a very small village and it does not have a small pond to take bath and it will not be neat also so let us go straight to Thirukovilur". But Maha Periyava continued as

though he heard nothing. The small path was totally dry, very soon
Periyava saw this beautiful Sight.
The neem tree The Banyan tree the Vilva tree were twined together.
They seem to tell that we are living with nature and as friends too. If men were also to live like plants as

friends then God would be really pleased. Mahaperiyava called Vedapuri mama and ask him to build a small thatched roof house under the twined trees. He asked his Mutt assistants to call all the important people of the village to His Ashram. They gathered and bowed to MahaPeriyava

They only knew that Periyava was a Mahan. Periyava told them, “I want to stay in your town and do Pooja, do you have any objection?"
They said there is no objection Swami, but it is long since it rained in this town.
“Let me stay tonight here”
Periyava had the whole universe in

"Truthfulness means mind and speech being well integrated. The wise say that speech being at variance with the mind is untruthfulness.
Vangmanasyoh Aikarupyam Satyam
God has given man the gift of speech so that he may give expression to his thoughts and feelings. If what we


speak is at variance with what we think (with our mind) God will take away the faculty of speech from us in our next birth- that is we will be born in the animal kingdom. There are, as we have seen before, exceptions made in our sastras to the rule of absolute non-violence: in

waging a war to preserve dharma, in offering animals in sacrifice. Are there similar exceptions to the rule of truthfulness? You will perhaps say none. But, as a matter of fact, there are. In a locality there must be a number of undesirable characters. Let us suppose that a

certain citizen is annoyed with such characters and gives open expression to his anger. "He committed this outrage. That other man is guilty of such and such a crime, “he keeps recounting the misdeeds of the bad elements. In doing so he is being truthful, that is his speech and

mind are in accord. But by giving expression to his feelings no purpose is served for neither he not the community is benefited. It is a futile kind of accord - that of his speech and mind - and it cannot be called truthfulness. Take the example of another person. He is full of

Those who want to know about #MahaPeriyava can please read this detailed post. It gives a glimpse into how He became the head of Sankara Mutt and His life after that.

His Holiness Jagadguru Pujya Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswathi Swamigal or the Sage of Kanchi was the 68th


Madathipathi of the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam. He is one of the greatest saints that history has ever witnessed. He is usually referred to as “The Walking God” "Visible God of Kaliyuga" "Incarnation of God" "Embodiment of Love, Peace and Compassion” “Confluence of Dharma" "Destroyer

of all Evils" and “Essence of Knowledge".

Swaminathan (Purvashram name of His Holiness) was born on 20 May 1894, under Anuradha star into a Kannadiga Smartha Hoysala Karnataka family in Viluppuram, South Arcot District, Tamil Nadu. He was the second son of Subramaniya Shastrigal

a District Education Officer. The child was named Swaminathan, after the family deity Lord Swaminatha of Swamimalai, near Kumbakonam. Swaminathan began his early education at the Arcot American Mission High School at Tindivanam, where his father was working. He was an exceptional

student and excelled in several subjects. In 1905, his parents performed his Upanayanam, a Vedic ceremony which qualifies a Brahmin boy to begin his Vedic studies under an accomplished teacher

Long Thread on Farmers protests & Agri reforms: What is the protest all about? Who gets impacted & how? Why are protests concentrated in Punjab & Haryana? Are these really farmers or traders losing grip on monopoly? Are farmers being misled? Let numbers do the talking. Here we go

A top-down view of Indian production is in order here. What does India’s agriculture produce in a year? I like the below chart for FY 2015. Now to understand the complexity, we’ll have to work with one crop & dig details. Let’s work with Wheat.


In 2020, India is looking at 105 million tons of Wheat produce vs 94 mn tons in 2015. What does the growth look like? See below the YoY growth of wheat in India. A 105 mn tons in 2020 will bust the chart below. Forget nay-sayers,Indian agriculture is doing great production.


Something is working well when production goes up consistently. However,while supply is great, demand is not growing as much. Look at the wheat consumption in India. As you see, the demand is consistently below supply by ~ 10 mn tons. Who needs this extra 10% wheat? Not Indians.


Can we export? Unlikely! This is where it gets complicated. Let’s see the United States Dept of Agriculture report on agriculture.The European Union, China, and India accounted for a little over 50 percent of the world’s wheat production (762 mn tons) in 2018/19.

“In context of media reporting, farmer killings are the most reported type of murder in SA. Research by minority white-rights org. AfriForum found more than 70% of farm murders were reported in the press - compare this to femicide, where less than 20% of murders ever appeared.”

“Farm murders are an extremely controversial topic. Partly because, for an extended period, SAPS stopped providing official data on farm attacks & farmer killings - which opened floodgates for false information, speculation & rumours of a government conspiracy against farmers.”

“There is also ongoing debate as to what does or does not qualify as a ‘farm attack’, who qualifies as a ‘farmer’, and how many ‘farms’ should or shouldn’t be included in such data.”

“But, related to the above, it is also because the victims of such attacks are often white (this should not come as a surprise, given that, even as of late 2917, 72% of privately owned agricultural land in SA was held by white owners)...”

“As a result, farm attacks have increasingly become framed as race crimes, or ‘hate crimes’ against whites.” - pg 171 - 171, ‘Femicide in South Africa’

Ever wondered how MSP for crops is calculated ?

Below is an attempt to present a simplified view, followed by some pertinent questions (just to have better understanding, not taking sides)&

The MSP is usually based on the recommendations by the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP

This estimation is usually done based on three types of calculation methods. These are A2 method, A2+FL method and C2 method.

As per the A2 method, MSP is set 50% higher than the amount farmer spends on farming including spending on seeds, fertilisers, pesticides, and labour.

C2 method includes A2 factors + economic value of the efforts of family members working on the farm + the value of other spending including rent and other assets. After calculating these, MSP is set at 50% above the derived amount.

A2+FL method is middle ground between the other methods were the MSP is set 50% higher than the amount that derives the amount farmer spend on farming on seeds, fertilisers, pesticides, and labour and the value of labour provided by the family members for agriculture.

1. Political: UCC likely to see huge protests from non-majority communities, perhaps equal to or more intense than land reforms and agri reforms protests.

2. If Govt stands firm - different matter. If not, yet another capitulation and significant loss of political currency.

3. Also with the likely fallout and necessary dealing with it, certain that no currency will remain to push any further agenda related to pro-Hindu constitutional changes - likely even in 2024+

4. Electoral: Likely massive favour amongst Hindus because somehow UCC is thought of as being good for Hindus.

5. Absolute polarization of non-Hindus guaranteed.

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”

Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?

A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:


2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to

- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal

3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:

Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.

Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.

4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?

To get clarity.

You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.

It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.

5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”

Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.

👇 Thread. New deck getting published this week: "Consumer startups are awesome, and here's what I'm looking to invest in at Andreessen Horowitz." If you want to read it, subscribe to my newsletter here: https://t.co/262t8eh0wf


1/ A lot of new consumer technologies have been introduced to US households in the last 100 years. But it's taken many of them - like the telephone - more than 50 years to get to the majority of the US. Why is that?


2/ We had to literally teach people how to use phone. Which end goes to your mouth, which goes to your ear. Say "hello" when people call. The motivation of consumers to talk to their friends has always been there, but we had to teach the behavior


3/ If you compare phones to the latest technologies, there's been a huge shift. Things are being picked up much faster.


4/ Even while there's been all this innovation recently, physically speaking, we are still the same human beings from 100,000 years ago.

Black movie goers know which movies are for us and which films aren’t. We really don’t like our stories being made into films that center (and humanize) people that hate us. The filmmakers/studio know that by naming the film “The Green Book”, black movie goers...

...are going to be expecting a story about black people trying to safely navigate the country (real history) and instead will get a white savior film. Like folks went to see Detroit thinking it was about the riots...

Anywhoo, I know Mahershela is fantastic in it. He was the best thing about the trailer. As rich as the history behind the creation of ‘The Green Book’ is/was, as amazing as Dr. Don Shirley’s story is, WHY is this film about a random, racist driver and his family?

This feeds into the ignorant anti-Black American stereotype of “Black Americans don’t have any culture/history/mythology” or whatever. That our stories are still both being used while simultaneously erased in 2018 is wild to me. It’s gonna clean up come award season. 🤦🏾‍♀️

And now, if black filmmakers WANTED to make a film about The Greenbook, guess what it can’t be called🙃. Just like if someone wanted to make a film about the actual Detroit riots, guess what it can’t be called? Then those filmmakers would run into...

Thirumalai Murugan Temple is located in Tenkasi district of Tamil Nadu. Muruga is worshipped as Thirumalai kumarasamy. Temple is situated near Kerala border and known to be where Shri Murugan gave darshan to Rishi Agasthiar


Devi is worshipped in the temple as Thirumalai Kaali amman

Sthala Puranam says that, there was a priest named Poovanbhattar of Thirumalai Kaali amman. Murugar appeared in a dream of the bhattar and said to find a Vigraham, lying in particular place which is of Thirumalaikumaran


Bhattar conveyed the news to the Pandalam Raja and they went to find out the vigraham. Surprisingly ants showed the way to find the Vigraham. Thus Murugan vigraham was found and Prathista was done here. There is a lake with pure water on the top of the hill


which is said to be created by Agasthiyar. It is believed that kannaki of
Chilapathikaram visited here before going to Kerala. Sapthamathrukkal also worshipped Murugan here. Kanthashashti Thiruvizha is very famous here.
