    You Must Know Physics to Watch Oppenheimer

    You Must Know Physics to Watch Oppenheimer

    You may have heard (as a joke or otherwise) that one must understand physics to watch Oppenheimer. Is that true? How much physics must you know before you watch it? More importantly, is that all you need to know? In this episode, I set the stage for you to get the best out of the film.

    If you would rather read, head over to my blog to read this episode as a post.

    I watched The Kerala Story: what Sudipto Sen has pulled off is impressive

    I watched The Kerala Story: what Sudipto Sen has pulled off is impressive

    How rampant is the conversion racket shown in The Kerala Story? Is it fact or propaganda? Is the government involved in this conspiracy? What are its implications?

    One fine evening, I decided to give the film a watch, because what I had heard and what I read about the film were exact opposites, which kindled my curiosity. My cousin, who I think is usually rational, supported this film; that made me more curious.

    In this episode, I dice through the entire block of available information to help you make a conscious choice about your stand with the film. This is not a film review. This is about objectively looking at the facts we have in front of us, such as:


    Why should it be difficult to believe that 32,000 people vanished?
    A case against the official religious conversion numbers
    A case for the non-Muslim girls that get sent to Syria
    Conversions and migration
    The numbers superimposed on the population
    The passport problem
    The issue of conversion
    National security from the educated point of view
    Should the film be banned?
    The ₹150 lesson
    How to handle the conversion issue

    COVID has become deadlier, claims a WhatsApp University circular

    A new message claiming to be from the CMC Vellor Doctors’ group is doing the rounds on WhatsApp. Is it another sensational message or a sensible one? Is the newer variant of COVID-19 more fatal?

    Original: https://blog.ramiyer.me/covid-has-become-deadlier/.

    Can we be free of Chinese goods

    Can we be free of Chinese goods

    Ever since Prime Minister Modi made his speech on the 12th of May 2020,  Aatmanirbhar started trending. My Facebook newsfeed showed countless  memes and what not, about boycotting Chinese products. In this episode we try to understand what it would take to be free of Chinese products, if at all.
