Thank you! I was literally looking for an Indian music alternative to Generative.fm. May not have been the use case you are trying to target, but it is the use case for me :)

Big shout out to Generative.fm as well!

Forgetting the overload of medical infrastructure for a bit, here are some of the myriad of issues that this leads to:

1. There are 20-50 year olds with pre-existing conditions such as asthma who are at higher risk. For example, a colleague on my team has asthma. Another colleague on my team has a husband who has asthma. As a Manager, I can't ask either of them to come into work.

2. What about 20-50 year olds who come in contact with 50+ year old or live together with them? They may be at low risk, but they will definitely spread the virus around more

It becomes quite complicated dealing with these things on a case by case basis.

I currently work in Tech Strategy at a Big 4 - the reason why Big 4s want to roll it back is because over the last few years, their revenue in audit is steadily decreasing. Especially with automated tools, outsourcing, RPA taking over and making a lot of the grunt work significantly cheaper. At the same time, the consulting revenues are significantly going up. SOX limits the scope of work the Big 4 can execute at firms they audit (nothing related to financially significant systems etc.). The best client relationships are with the firms the Big 4 audit! Hence, the push!

> Of note, many have forgotten, but rice suffered from a pandemic blight in the 1980s that was saved only because a particular species of wild rice, coincidentally found in South India, happened to have disease resistant genes.

Do you have a source for this as well please?

BJP is a right wing "Hindu" party with close ties to nationalist organizations like Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Shiv Sena. They have had a rather sordid history in the last couple of decades wrt religious violence - Gujarat Riots, Babri Masjid demolition etc.,

Recently, there have been some incidents which have resulted in communal/religious tensions flaring up

India's intellectuals have started criticizing the Government for not speaking out against this violence. In fact, some BJP affiliated people have made some really controversial statements with regards to Muslims in India. Arundhati Roy is among a host of people who are returning their awards in protest of the Government's stance.
