Indian government, Indian law, and pro-female organizations in that land talk about increasing education of girls and women. I get very amused at this ineffective and useless propoganda that does nothing great to help the girl child and women. This is because most women even if educated are unable to continue work, career or do entrepreneurship because their parents or in-laws or community will not allow them. So it means educate them for namesake and then make them stagnant to do caring and cooking jobs at home. In short, educate them and again throw them in the same gutter or furnace as before.

They have put economy above health of the masses. Hence they are going slow on lockdowns. When cases were not so high last year, lockdown was imposed promptly leaving poor labourers...

  Donald’s presidency started in 2016 and his last year in office was in 2020 when the coronavirus pandemic struck the world. But his policies against it were a failure. Nearly 450k people died in this pandemic and the mean life expectancy also fell by 1.13 years. The fatality rate of the USA due to COVID-19 was 40% higher than that of the other nations. And many of these deaths were easily preventable if the political head was good enough to handle the situation well. The Lancet report of the Commission on Public Policy and Health The Commission on Public Policy and Health released a report on the health situation during the Trump-era on 20 February 2021.
