The Global Liveability Index 2023, from Economist Intelligence Unit’s (EIU), is available now. It ranks the cities that have the best and worst living conditions and quality of life around the world. EIU’s liveability index quantifies the challenges presented to an individual’s lifestyle and standard of living in 173 cities worldwide. The index measures cities on five broad indicators — stability, culture and environment, healthcare, education and infrastructure. The highest score a city can get is 100.
Bengaluru (Bangalore) secured 148th spot with a score of 58.7. Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Ahmadabad have slightly better scores.
I believe Bengaluru (Bangalore) has the competence and the bandwidth to rank much better. All that is required in political will. If somebody has lived in Bengaluru even for few weeks, the first obvious expectation for improvement will be better traffic management, roads, public transport and cleaner city.

The presence of Indians, from India, in Fediverse is insignificant as on today. Most of us are happy with X and social media tools from Meta. Even the number of posts from existing users, in India, is very low though many of them seem to be active in the above mentioned social media sites.
What can be done to improve the situation? There are no carrots here.
It's depressing. I clicked through #MastodonIndians#MastIndia & found overwhelming number of toots focused on #Bollywood gossip & entertainment.
For a country with the largest population on earth, I saw little to no engagement on international affairs, not even about regional affairs (#China#Pakistan#Myanmar#SriLanka), much less about #MiddleEast and the world.
If you are not vegan, we are not the same. Vegans see all animals as individuals with their own lives and interests to protect. Vegans reject the commodity status of nonhumans.
Vegan is always Halal 🌱

Is it a legal requirement in India for news agencies to give the suicide hotline number at the end of any article that even vaguely mentions suicide or is that something news agencies do for ethics 🤔
@mastodonindians "In two out of the last three assembly elections in Rajasthan, the margin of victory between the winning party and the biggest opposition party wasn’t even half of the total number of reserved seats.
"Including Lok Sabha elections, in the six elections that the state has witnessed since the 2008 delimitation exercise — in which boundaries of constituencies were redrawn — the party that secured the most number of reserved seats has won the election."

There is even more profit in doing research and bringing to the market drugs that are made for what are called orphan diseases—rare diseases that may afflict only a few million, but for which medicines are necessary and high-end.”
"The process of nation building cannot be limited to only expanding working hours, but it has to focus on improving work conditions and pushing for norms that are inclusive and not blind to socio-cultural realities of contexts."
