@ravi @fossunited Since we don't have any community members from #Bihar, this would mean people have to travel from UP and Delhi (we got two volunteers) and trains are all booked. So we have to look for tatkal or flights. We have some funds left from #PravConf, but more donations / sponsorships would help.
Conferences in places like Bihar is very important since they don't have an existing big Free Software community.

AP: Nearly 100 die as India struggles with a sweltering heat wave in 2 most populous states "At least 96 people died in two of India’s most populous states over the last several days, officials said Sunday, with swaths of the country reeling from a sweltering heat wave.
The deaths happened in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh and eastern Bihar..."
..."Going through the numbers, Dialogue Earth estimated that Hindi newspapers had tallied at least 100 deaths across the state, with over 55 deaths on 30 May, more than 40 deaths on 31 May and six deaths on 1 June.
When asked by Dialogue Earth about the discrepancy between the official figures and news reports, an official of the DMD said on condition of anonymity, “We have verified and counted heatstroke deaths of only those in the hospital and whose post-mortems were conducted. We did not count deaths due to heat stroke at home or of those who died before reaching hospitals.”..." #heatwave #bihar

How BJP's Own Fragmenting of Social Justice Politics Led to the Bihar Caste Census
Even though Prime Minister Narendra Modi has accused opposition parties of dividing the country along caste lines, it cannot be denied that BJP's success in exploiting the chink in the armour of social justice parties has now come to affect it, writes Ajoy Ashirwad Mahaprashasta.
