Hailing from Agra in #UttarPradesh, Aarti chose to drop her preparation for a year while she taught students in a local school. "I used the money to pay for my coaching classes. I began preparing after 2020 & since then, have been working diligently to crack the exam," she says.
"She will be the first doctor in the family, and it is a huge achievement. Despite financial problems, she has managed to crack the exam," says her father, Bishambhar Jha, who has worked as a truck mechanic for the last 40 years.

#Hindu #Funerary Monuments - Chhatri

Chhatri is a memorial chapel built over a #tomb found throughout the region of #Rajasthan, #MadhyaPradesh and #Maharashtra. These memorials commemorate the death of rulers, their consorts, relatives and the elite. 1/🧵
If Samadhis were funerary monuments of saints in #Hindus, Chhatris were #Rajput's choice of the memorial. They made sure that the memory of the chivalry of their ancestors passed on to the next generations. Though, all Chhatris did not necessarily contain the mortal remains. 2/
Chhatri i.e. umbrella, first appeared as a canopy above the tomb in #Islamic #architecture. #Hindu kings transformed the tomb into Chhatri. By the 16th C, Rajput courts had started building Chhatris. It was a place where a noble was cremated, memorialized and later worshipped. 3/

#Onthisday, it’s Christmas in #Armenia. Even more interesting, this was once Christmas Day around the world. It is well-known that the exact birth date of Jesus was not historically recorded. Until the 4th century CE, it was largely celebrated on #January6.
1/5
Roman Emperor Constantine moved the date to December 25, in 336 CE, apparently because he wanted to weaken an established Roman pagan celebration – the feast of the winter solstice.
2/5
But for Eastern Europe, including Armenia, December 25 had no special meaning. Armenia was also a proudly Christian country by Constantine’s time. They saw no need to shift the date. And so Christmas Day remains January 6.

💡 How the resetting of corporate control of food systems is already well under way 👇🏾

📰 frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

🧵 A thread on #foodsystems & the #UNFSS /1
Few people will dispute that global food systems need transformation, but this #UNFSS is instead an effort by a powerful alliance of multinational corporations, philanthropies, and export-oriented countries to subvert multilateral institutions of food #governance.

Once Guterres appointed a Special Envoy and the structure of the Summit was announced, the drivers behind the Summit became clear.

Shocking! Can’t the rich countries postpone vaccination of their less susceptible population & donate excess quota of vaccines to the underprivileged, LMICs of Africa?
Need such policies to spare more vaccine doses for the needy. We now have plenty of data on the futility of the 2nd vaccine dose to the pre-infected, seropositive individuals

thelancet.com/journals/ebiom…
This research has relevance to India also.
A single dose #ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine serves as an effective immune booster after priming with natural #SARSCoV2 infection up to at least 11 months post infection.

New publication by @NavdanyaInt: Bill Gates & his Fake solutions to #ClimateChange" - Technofixes, Industrial Ag, Billionaires Ventures, & Fake Food will not save our Planet - Biodiversity & Agroecology are True Solutions to Climate Change bit.ly/BGFakeSolut @drvandanashiva
Behind a humanitarian veil, Bill Gates favours the interests of corporations, promoting failed technological solutions that harm ecosystems & divert attention from the deep systemic changes needed to address the crises we are facing today bit.ly/BGFakeSolut @drvandanashiva
The common thread that runs through all Bill Gates' programs is the idea that innovation and the market will always save us, that any problem can (and should only) be solved through technology bit.ly/BGFakeSolut @drvandanashiva #Gates2GlobalEmpire

One of the genres of writing that emerged in #Safavid Iran was triumphalist #Shii history and biographies that imagined a past connected to the sacred time of the Prophet and the Imams as continuous chains of notables figures who made contributions to #Islamic culture 1/
Perhaps the best example was the large work Majālis al-muʾminīn of Sayyid Nūrullāh Shūshtarī known as Qāżī Nūrullāh (d. 1610), scion of the Marʿashī sayyids, who settled in India, becoming judge in #Lahore and eventually dying, following the wrath of #Jahangir in #Agra 2/ ImageImageImage
The Majālis was written late in his life, a large #Shii history divided into (not surprisingly #12erShii) 12 sections: 1) places associated with the #Imams and #Shii communities such as #Kūfa #Kāshān and so forth 2) #Shii tribes and sayyids such as his own #Marʿashī lineages 3/
