There is nothing to debate unless you believe in debating if earth is flat or spherical. Sex and Gender are well defined. The whole thing is aimed at obfuscation for political agenda. Biology is easy to define. Gender, as a social construct can be fluid. In Science it is important to anchor on reliable indicators such as biological sex. Even the theory of relativity focuses on the Invariant Conserved entities. Sex is invariant upon gender transitions.

As a Physician and Rheumatologist who currently works in North India and has worked in Kerala in the past, I can assure you of the following. Anemia is very common, even by highly relaxed standards Cause of this widespread anemia is majority nutritional (Iron and/or B12 deficiency) arising from a vegetarian diet and rising sanitation standards. Economists should not comment on a “reality” they are neither familiar nor understand. Indians aren’t any special. Healthy people with healthy normal diets achieve normal Hb levels in India. And correcting deficiency brings back Hb to normal levels once deficiency is corrected. Caveat: Some people of tribal ancestry areas with historically high malaria endemicity have hemlobinopathies (thalassemia, HbS, HbE etc) where the normal values are low. However these are special situations that should be excluded from the determination of normal values (heterogeneity). In healthy, people without any nutritional deficiency, Hb values typically are above 16 (males ) and above 14 (females). However anemia definition gives a wide breadth (14.5 and 12.5 for males and females respectively). In clinical practice anemia gets investigated only when Hb falls well below that levels. In Iron deficiency, Iron stores gets depleted before Hb drops under 12.5 and someone with Hb under 12.5 must have some deficiency or defect. Iron deficient state (without anemia) has public health consequences with people complaining of widespread pains (fibromyalgia like presentation that improves with replenishing Iron) or fatigability and “low energy” both of which can affect productivity and can have economic consequences (beyond the impact on maternal and neonatal mortality in women of reproductive age) The first thing I checked after seeing is whether both writers are from economic background. Indeed economists have a special “skill” (Dunning Kruger) to write without irony on things they have no clue on reality.
My article with Chirag in today's ET where we investigate why anaemia prevalence among Indian children and women was not going down despite government schemes & rising incomes. We found that serious problems with benchmarks and measurement are grossly overstating the levels 1/n

This is actually an effective response to inexperienced predators including bird photographers. When birds first see you, they freeze and most humans would fail to see them. If we too freeze for a few minutes, birds forget about us and we can slowly move, get into position and take a shot. Any sudden movement from us and the bird flies away. Some of my best shots have been taken when bird froze upon seeing me (I saw the bird before it saw and me and had my camera up) including my cover photo.

Tension between India and China made no sense to anyone in India either. Thus India was the first country to recognise the new China. India was China’s friend, fellow victim of imperialism (or so we thought). China even used Kolkata port and Siliguri corridor to supply its troops in Tibet till their roads were finished. And then. China attacked India in 1962 when the world was focused on Cuban missile crisis. China threatened India with U.S. in 1971 during Bangladesh genocide to prevent Indian intervention to liberate Bangladesh. It took Russia threatening China to stop that. We could forgive that. Maybe 1962 was an aberration. Modi invited Xi to India and prioritised China. India made maximum effort with China and kept away from West. And then what. China attacked India again in Galwan valley and tried to annexe more land. (They tried again in 2024 but was thwarted). Has China ever done anything that wasn’t inimical to India. Why did China give a proven nuclear bomb design to Pakistan (when India had voluntarily avoided weaponisation). Indian response led to sanctions that prevented India’s economic growth. Now tell me why we should trust CCP. We know it’s not the people of China. It is the very nature of CCP. Zhou en Lai’s deep friendship with Nehru did not stop Mao in invading India (nor did anything stop Mao from killing his own party fiends such Lin Bi Yao). Now tell me why we should trust Xi or CCP.

Exactly. Followers of the movement nearly went extinct after the failed Jewish rebellion and the persecution. Most were killed. And it gained strength from 2nd century. Even gospels are dated to 2nd century only. Gospels were written after the rebellion failed and the earlier zealot movement (very much like jihadis of today) to establish a Jewish theocratic state (led by a messianic priest King) lost in every way along with the temple based Judaism paving way for a more pacifist Christianity that preached a heavenly kingdom in place of an earthly one (also compatible with Roman Empire. It is another matter that didn’t prevent persecution).
