How is this not #HateSpeech against one of India's smallest religious #minorities, @TwitterIndia? Image
Another sample of anti-#Christian #HateSpeech by an establishment flunkey. Another sample of @TwitterIndia's high tolerance level for anti-minority hate in India while @Twitter takes the high moral ground in the US to impress liberals there. Will the real Twitter please stand up? Image
Ignorance too is at play here: a minority is a minority for @Twitter only if it's a minority in the West. So Indian #Christians apart, Twitter doesn't recognise caste when you report abuse. #Facebook is rightly in the dock over #AnkhiDas but Twitter is no less an enabler of hate.

. @TwitterIndia you want to be like #AnkhiDas on #Facebook? You are allowing this tweet & this handle to remain on the platform? @Twitter
Devgan claims this tweet is "defending India". No. It's shaming India with its glee at fate of Kashmiri Muharram mourners riddled with pellets
We've all seen crowds of people shopping for Ganpati, participating in worship at Tirupati & other temples. No pellet firing on those crowds. So, Covid-19 is no justification for pellet firing on Muharram procession in Srinagar, Kashmir.
