Hard fought animal rights, wildlife laws and environmental norms have been slowly eroded over the last 10 years. Here is another eg
While the modern world is moving towards alternatives like organ-on-a-chip technology, 3 D cell cultures, in silico modeling through advanced computer simulations and AI, in-vitro/ tissue assays and human microdosing, India has drafted a law to remove existing protection given to laboratory animals.
Viksit Bharat? 🙁
Why are we regressing wrt every freaking thing?
While the world moves ahead to understand animal testing is not ethical, India instead decides to even remove the existing protection given to animals!!! What kind of sadist shit is this? Read!!!

Goa be like:
Dogs on beaches?
MENACE. REMOVE THEM.
Humans leaving behind beer bottles, plastic, food waste and mountains of garbage? Oh, thats TOURISM.
The species that pollutes the oceans, destroys habitats and turns beaches into dumping grounds has somehow appointed itself the judge of which species deserves to exist there.
Imagine being the biggest ecological menace on the planet and having the audacity to call a dog a menace.
The hypocrisy is almost impressive.

Can't believe how simply @roshanasingh6 explained what AI agents are capable of today and what the future looks like.
Fun demo by Roshan of his deployed AI agents. We also discussed Dots, OpenClaw, privacy and prompt injection. Btw, Roshan is a serial bug bounty hunter.
Weekend well spent :)

Building a defence-tech product is hard, but building a repeatable, survival-ready business is much harder.
At MV, we conducted a cohort analysis of 127 iDEX winners from the past three years to evaluate where these companies stand today
The data reveals a brutal truth:

The Netherlands has become the first country in the world to successfully eliminate stray dogs, ensuring that every dog has a home.
This remarkable achievement stems from a combination of strict animal welfare laws, large-scale spaying and neutering programs, and a strong culture of responsible pet ownership. The Dutch government has long supported widespread sterilization initiatives and enforces tough penalties for animal abuse and abandonment.
While an estimated 200 million stray dogs exist worldwide, the Netherlands stands out as a global leader. In Dutch cities, it is common to see dogs riding in bicycle baskets, relaxing under café tables, and even joining their owners on public transport, a reflection of how deeply integrated pets are into everyday life.
The country now serves as an inspiring model for animal welfare, demonstrating how coordinated policy, cultural awareness, and compassion can effectively solve a challenge that continues to affect many other nations.

My autorickshaw driver stops, midway through the trip.
He asks for “do minut” (two minutes), runs to the footpath and fills the bowls for animals and birds, with water from his water bottle.
Comes back, apologises to me for the delay and adds “Unka koi nahin hai, bhai sahab.” (They don’t have anyone else).
There are good people. Never forget that.

A retailer in a small North Indian town can tell you a lot about rural consumption.
Mountain Dew moving fast. Campa and Sting fighting for share. ₹10 diaper packs mattering. Parle-G picking up in summer. Butter biscuits doing better in winter.
The story is in the details.

Think AI is free?
It’s quietly hitting your electricity bill.
Data centers are driving big new costs on the power grid, and regular families are paying the price.

We kept hearing the same thing about AI:
“They’re crushing it on benchmarks.”
“OpenAI killed my startup”
“Applications layer is still wide open.”
So instead of debating takes, @karansehgal47 and I wrote the report.
A full-stack autopsy.

The one addition to the Indian school curriculum that must be considered is - making students periodically undertake tasks like sweeping or mopping in their schools.
We need to build a culture where dignity of labour is recognized. It is an idea whose time has come.

Mohit Chauhan paused his performance to light candles for the dogs who were killed across India.
They will never be forgotten. We will get justice for every life taken.
When an artist pauses a concert to honour lives lost, it says something. Thank you @_MohitChauhan for always choosing compassion over cruelty.
