After prolonged search for this "elusive study," I can confirm that such a study by Ajay Sonkar does not exist. Has any media got the link or copy to this? Indian media behaving like Nazi media, feeding lies to public to keep sentiments alive instead of protecting public health.

Adore the Afghanistan cricket team. But T20 World Cup semi final will also now be contested by a nation that refuses to permit women’s sport and has disbanded its women’s cricket team. This is where platitudes meet reality for the ICC

Here are some crazy stats from Swiggy: India ordered 2.5 biryanis per second in 2023. For every 5.5 chicken biryanis, there was 01 veg biryani ordered. A swiggy user from Hyderabad ordered 1,633 biryanis this year (04 biryanis a day). “India is a vegetarian country” is a myth.

2022 #NobelPrize laureate Svante Pääbo found that gene transfer had occurred from these now extinct hominins to Homo sapiens. This ancient flow of genes to present-day humans has physiological relevance today, for example affecting how our immune system reacts to infections.
