This we, in Kerala saw in run to last parliament elections. His book, 'Why I am a Hindu' and the @INCIndia projecting @RahulGandhi as Janeu-Dhari Hindu were not coincidental (3/n)
We have seen his flip-flops before. A good example was #Sabarimala Women Entry Issue. Note, what he said in 2010: google.com/amp/s/www.ndtv…

Thread alert:

They are, now, equal.

In 1957, marginalised Valmikis were brought to J&K by govt. to quell union protest & clean streets.

3 generations later but no Permanent Residence Certificate, STILL forced to work as Safai Karamcharis.

Heartwrenching stories follow-
Listen to this man crying. #Article35A

"I am Sanitation worker. Remained hungry, saved money to take her to exam centre. She cleared but was denied due to PRC Residency."

He worked as Sanitation worker - with low wages, in hope for children future. Family not allowed a Govt job
20-year-old Radhika wants to join @BSF_India
She cleared physical test but was denied on state-recruitment basis. As No PRC.

Can she be accepted now?

Sitting with her father. He worked hard to help fulfil her dreams, not a possibility in his lifetime.

Scrapping #Article370: What does it mean?

What were the ramifications of notifications issued by Kashmir's Maharaja Hari Singh? What are state subjects? What exclusive rights did state subjects hold? How did #35A come into being?

Explains @sarthakraizada Advocate, Supreme Court
What is Article 35A?

#Article35A guaranteed exclusive rights to permanent residents of Jammu & Kashmir like exclusivity in employment, grants, education & property rights. This meant that an ordinary Indian citizen could not buy property in J&K. This was clearly discriminatory.
What took so long?

Several deliberations between State & Central govt took place over the years but in vain. A host of petitions were even filed citing the discriminatory nature of #Article35A. On many occasions the Hon. Supreme Court refused to entertain these petitions.

In the run up to #370repeal this is what was fed to the public.

#Article370
#BestDaySince15Aug1947
So now with #Artcle370Scrapped, the article 35A is moot and doesn’t stand.

There will be 2 new Union Territories -
Ladakh (with no legislature)
Jammu & Kashmir (with legislature)
#Ladakh has a very sparse population and hence will be an overkill to have a CM along with a Lieutenant General. It will be governed by the centre like Dadra Nagar, Daman Diu etc.

#Kashmir was an inland sea called Satisaar, inhabited by Pahadis/ Nagas (Sanskrit for mountain).
Brahma’s grandson, Rishi Kashyap on his pilgrimage from South India, (when In Jalandhar) was approached for help to free Satisaar of demons Jalodbhav who were tyrannizing the Nagas.
Kashyap Rishi performed poojas to save Nagas from Jalodbhava.

Tripursundari Sharika Devi, Durga incarnation, came to his aid in the form of an enormous bird/ Haer with a Divine stone in her beak; dropped it on 2 demons & killed them.
That stone transformed into Hari Parbat 🙏🏻
Indra helped Kashyap Rishi kill all demons but Jaldeva escaped. Vishnu ji transformed Himself into Varah & killed him.
Hitt by his tail, the mountains made a pass through which the waters of Satisaar flowed out..
That spot where mountains parted is called Varahmula/ Baramulla.

"तू थकेगा न कभी
तू थमेगा न कभी
तू मुड़ेगा न कभी
कर शपथ! कर शपथ! कर शपथ!

वृक्ष हों भले खड़े
हों घने, हों बड़े
एक पत्र छाँह भी
मांग मत! मांग मत! मांग मत!

यह महान दृश्य है
चल रहा मनुष्य है
अश्रु-स्वेद-रक्त से
लथ-पथ! लथ-पथ! लथ-पथ!"

GOOSEBUMPS.
Remember the name. Narendra Damodardas Modi. #Article370
To the people of Kashmir: Seize this incredible moment in History. Love India, just as India loves you.

Light a diya, not a Molotov.
