3 years back our Emperor started his crazy experiments with economy by demonetising 86% of the currency notes!

Rest is history!

It was also an experiment to see how much we are conditioned to mutely surrender when our civil liberties and rights are taken away!

Kerala's total #COVID19 death count crossed 1000 today.

Every single anna is accounted and heavily bargained between Travancore and Madras...

Here Pennycuick himself advance his case for his deputation to England to select the machinery needed to construct the Mullaperiyar Dam

This is also from the official records

Every single penny spent on Mullaperiyar Dam is accounted and formed part of the project closure report on Mullaperiyar available at National Archives, New Delhi.

Neither Mackenzie nor Pennycuick in their written memoirs on Mullaperiyar Dam speaking about selling properties!

Pennycuick was a maverick engineer, who stood for the things he believed. He fought relentlessly with his superiors to invest in Mullaperiyar Dam.

His design of the dam was cross checked by none other than Rankine and Molesworth. It is a fascinating history.

This is what actually happened, Lt. Colonel Pennycuick was deputed by his Government to proceed to England to select the machinery for building Mullaperiyar dam. His trip to England pave way to a myth that John Pennycuick sold his property and start building #Mullaperiyar dam

The IMA clarified that science “demands” two things. 

First, as listed in the release, is “reproducibility of a claim elsewhere in non-conflict situations”. 

Another important scientific parameter mentioned by the IMA is “double-blind control studies”

The association, which is the apex lobby of 3.5 lakh doctors in the country, demanded that “the Union health minister should come clean” on the questions. 

“If not, he is inflicting a fraud on the nation and gullible patients by calling placebos as drugs,” it said.

‘How many of his ministerial colleagues have so far got treated under AYUSH protocols?’

‘What is stopping him from handing over Covid care and control to the AYUSH ministry (from his own health ministry?’

Questioning the health minister’s move to promote alternative medicines for Covid patients, IMA says he is ‘inflicting a fraud on nation & gullible patients by calling placebos as drugs’.

Of 108,025 reported kidnappings last year, 84,921 were women - 55,370 being young girls and children.
