All 'HALAL' references removed from APEDA under Modi govt. In a move that finally ends the discriminatory slaughtering practices, Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) which comes under the Ministry of Commerce

 It has removed all 'Halal' references from its Red meat manual.
There've been complaints in the past abt the Halal system waging an economic Jihad on people from other faiths. This move frm APEDA ll finally put a full stop to the institutionalisation of this discriminatory system
Here is a explainer how it affected us, especially Hindus. How it is being used in anti India activities, killings, bombing and attacks. Also, organised protests like anti CAA protests and creates unrest in country.
There was demand of of setting up a Sharia compliant Islamic banking system, which the current Modi govt refused to accede to.
Islamic or Sharia banking is a finance system based on the principles of not charging interest, which is prohibited under Islam.
India’s culture & civilisation through the ages been tolerant and inclusive, ‘Independent’ India has been under the grip of a westernized idea of ‘Secularism’. Successive govts have bent over backwards to cater to the whims & fancies of the minorities to ensure votebank.
This twisted ‘secularism’ has resulted in much suffering for the Hindu majority of the nation. While the Constitution calls for equality, Hindu temples have been taken over by the govts zealously while liberally funding Hajj and Jerusalem ‘pilgrimages’.
Despite this, the common Hindu suffers silently & continues to pay taxes hoping that some day the conditions will change, which unfortunately has not happened till date.
The halal economy tries to impose a wholly Islamic system in the production-to-consumer chain
Its not psbl for companies to employ only Muslim employees when operating in non Islamic countries. So they've been given some special ‘concessions’ They're ‘allowed’ to pay hefty fee to obtain a (renewable) halal certification. This is used to strengthen Islamic finance system.
Earlier, non Muslim subjects under Islamic rule were forced to pay a ‘protective’ Jizya tax (to be exempt from conversion). Similarly companies are being ‘asked’ to pay up large sums of money as ‘halal certification fees’ if they want products to be certified for use by Muslims.
A person has the Constitutionally given right to demand for products that are in line with his religious beliefs. Muslims have started exercising this right by demanding that every product that they use is compliant with the tenets of Islam i.e. Halal.
This has led to the ubiquitous need for the products to be ‘Halal Certified’. So now, the Islamic Economic system (Halalonomics) has crept into our Secular system. Surprisingly, Halal compliance is mandatory even for govt run companies like the Indian Railways and Air India.
Just because Muslims (who make up 15% of the country’s population) want to consume only Halal meat, their practices are being forced upon the rest 85%. Now the Halal certification is no longer limited to meats, but touches every sphere of our daily lives.
From meats to packaged foods, housing projects to hospitals, medicines to cosmetics; even malls aren't exempt! Any1 who wishes to export their products to Islamic countries has to be Halal Certified. To give u an idea of the immense scale of Halalonomics- standing at $2 trillion
It competes with the Indian GDP! No wonder the entire world is under the Halal certification stranglehold. A parallel economy always has some effect on the functioning of a country. (It could be Hawala system to funnel money to and from India or virtual currency like Bitcoin).
Here, a parallel economic system entrenched in religion is taking shape; which will certainly have an impact on the ‘secular’ fabric of India.
Halal economy is growing at a frantic pace & handled through Islamic private bodies. Govt has absolutely no control over these bodies.
Now its a matter of serious concern how these funds are utilised. Australian politician (National Party of Australia) claimed money generated from halal economy may be used to push for Sharia law in Australia & fund Islamic extremism, funds may be utilised to support terrorism.
In India, Jamiat Ulema-e-hind halal trust is one of the major Halal certifying bodies. It was established in 1919 to protest against British occupation of India. This organization, along with the INC, played a role in freedom movement. However partition split organization into 2;
Jamiat ulema-e-islam faction supported a separate nation for the muslims & shifted to Pak. Now JuH is a powerful entity in religious as well as political circles.
During Anti CAA protests, Bengal state chief of JuH threatened tht HM won't be allowed to step out of Kolkata airport
This organization also declared that it will fight in favour of accused of murdering Hindu leader Kamlesh Tiwari of UP. In past, JuH has also provided legal support to the muslim accused in several acts of terrorism including the 7/11 Mumbai train blasts, 2006 Malegaon blasts,
German Bakery blast (Pune), the 26/11 attack on Mumbai, the serial blasts of Zaveri Bazaar in Mumbai, Delhi’s Jama Masjid blast & the Karnavati (Ahmedabad) bomb blast among others. Jamiat is fighting cases on behalf of about 700 such accused.

J. Farish, a member of the Bombay government, writes in his letter in 1838~

"The natives of India must be kept down by a sense of our power, or they must willingly submit from a conviction that we are wiser, more just, and more humane to improve their conditions."

He further writes, "If well-directed, the progress of education would undoubtedly increase our moral hold over India, but, at the same time, we should also ensuring that it does not lead the Natives to a consciousness of their own strength."

As the Colonial government wanted natives to help British surveyors and engineers in their work, it translated the Engineering curriculum to vernacular languages. The first such attempt was made in a college set up in Bombay by Elphinstone, with Lt. George Jervis as its director.

Also, Colonial authorities found it much simpler and politically wiser to create a class of cheaply paid but loyal Indian low-level bureaucrats to help staff the provincial offices and act as a buffer or intermediary class to stand between the government and the masses.

Charles Trevelyan, Macaulay's brother-in-law, wrote in his book On the Education of The People of India (1838), "We British should not try to instill in the native a deep grasp of subjects, but to force them to ape & recite English, and metaphysics in the most slavish fashion."

This road is maintained by PWD, Government of West Bengal” is an omnipresent signboard that greets travellers in almost every nook and corner of the state.The region may change from Cooch Behar & Darjeeling in North Bengal

To Jhargram in Junglemahal and Kultali in Sunderban, but the signboard remains the same. After having travelled for almost 13,000 km in the state from October 2020 to Decem maber ority of the places the roads, especially in the interiors, are in bad shape.

This state of affairs is unfortunately true for the incumbent party too. It’s everywhere in the state, but mostly in pretty bad shape. Barring rare exceptions, the people’s impression of the local Trinamool leadership

everywhere falls in the same template. corrupt, rowdy and arrogant. On top of that, the fear of retribution by the incumbents is so strong that the line between the people’s dislike and their hate against the ruling party often gets blurred.

Severl respondents across the state narrated the way dissidents, opponents and anyone daring to question the prevailing corruption and upmanship on the ground are hounded systematically, which includes measures like physical attacks, filing of false cases and depriving them of

People you're seeing in TV posing as locals of #SinghuBorder are NOT locals. Infact, locals are extremely warm with the protestors. This is what real locals have to say!


No one has a problem with protestors at #SinghuBorder. Who were the ones who came to protest??

This is a quick thread of some of the worst responses out there, just to illustrate the obvious, which in one way makes the exercise pointless. At the same time, such loss of a demography's class must never be out of the spotlight. So am doing it anyway.

Just before we start, here's a small bummer: I've redacted all identifying information even though it's all in public domain. This is to avoid any inadvertent code violation; Twitter doesn't seem to like doxing and neither do I.

The first area to focus on is diversity. This has become a dogma in the tech world, and despite the fact that tech is one of the most meritocratic industries in the world, there are constant efforts to promote diversity at the expense of fairness, merit and competency. Examples:

USC's Interactive Media & Games Division cancels all-star panel that included top-tier game developers who were invited to share their experiences with students. Why? Because there were no women on the

ElectronConf is a conf which chooses presenters based on blind auditions; the identity, gender, and race of the speaker is not known to the selection team. The results of that merit-based approach was an all-male panel. So they cancelled the conference.

Apple's head of diversity (a black woman) got in trouble for promoting a vision of diversity that is at odds with contemporary progressive dogma. (She left the company shortly after this

Also in the name of diversity, there is unabashed discrimination against men (especially white men) in tech, in both hiring policies and in other arenas. One such example is this, a developer workshop that specifically excluded men: https://t.co/N0SkH4hR35

🎉🎉 PHP 7.3 is here!

Here are the things I'm excited about.

🚂 Trailing commas in function/method calls!

This will certainly be a required styling choice for me. Same delightful benefits of trailing comma in multi-line PHP arrays, and JavaScript objects.


🧵 Less disgusting heredoc syntax!

Inlining heredoc strings in any way right now is grrrosssss. Now we get sensible capabilities. Everything that was wrong with it is now fixed!

(Ignore the bad syntax highlighting)


☠️ Finally, not-so-silent json_decode error detection!

This really sucked before, now it just sucks a bit less (who wants to pass a 4th param and pass 2 default params first? (helper function anybody?)


📜 Not horrible functions for getting the first and last item (or key) from an array!

Before you either strung a bunch of functions together or messed with internal array pointers. This is a much-needed improvement.

So it turns out that Google Chrome was making everything on my computer slow *even when it wasn’t running*, because it installs something called Keystone which is basically malware.

I made a website because this shouldn’t

Wired first reported on how bad Keystone was 11 years ago when they put it into Google Earth (they seem to put it in all their popular

The fact that Keystone hides itself in Activity Monitor is bizarre. (The only sign of it was excessive CPU usage of WindowServer which is a system process).

I don’t know if Google was doing something nefarious with Keystone, or a third party figured out how to (which Wired warned about). But either way, I’m not inclined to give Google-the-organization the benefit of the doubt (despite the many good people who work on Chrome)...

...since it's been a decade+ and this still hasn't been "fixed".

There is no reason for auto-update software to need to do what Chrome/Keystone was doing. It also has a long history of crashing Macs.
