This documentary is entirely based on archival footage and rigorous verifiable facts.
And also aligns with my own very clear memories. I was in final year of college. Really into watching cable news. Right from the train burning, we got live footage.

2002 was already cable news and 24 hour news cycle era. Months after 9/11. So there was this continuous "BREAKING NEWS" culture even then.
And right after the train burning news, the question on everyone's mind was, have we, as India, learned the lessons of Bombay 92-93.

That there would be some kind of reaction in Gujarat to those smoldering train images was not in doubt. Post Bombay 93 tho, India had fortunately not seen any of widespread communal violence. Police always stamped it out pretty quickly.
Police was and is the biggest gang.

"Austin University"?
Just so you know.
University of Texas, Austin: flagship world famous university
Austin, TX: World famous city with a "smart city" alliance
NEITHER has anything to do with this announcement, tho it's being sold on Whatsapp as such.
Reality is creepier.

And the approval has been "cancelled" it seems.
It's like if you agreed to help a Nigerian prince transfer some money and signed a contract in which you would get good money from it, but after being told it was a scam, you "cancel" the approval.
Wah Modi, Wah Yogi!

It's simple science really.

Remember that in 2010, BJP was considered a spent force and Modi a ridiculous long shot for PM. It is literally with constant repetition of the "Modi Modi Modi" chants in news studios, constant "ab ki baar" constant "Gujarat Model" barrage on social media that started the thing.
When Trump first unveiled his MAGA slogan, for months people snickered cos they remembered he just copied it from Reagan. But constant repetition and I doubt anyone other than political nerds will know that Trump didn't coin it.
Trump is big on the power of repetition

We start trending #BJPwillLose regularly and it will definitely have some effect, even if that by itself might not be decisive. But incumbents are dislodged with a collection of many such small efforts. That is exactly how the BJP captured power after 2009 humiliation.
The genius of the #BJPwillLose hashtag is that they can't really rant against it or accuse anyone of anything other than saying that BJP will lose. And even if they do try to argue against it, they are just helping the hashtag trend. 🤣🤣
That's how BJP gets their hashtags to trend. Post them with something controversial that draws responses & QTs. Pushes them up into trending.
So I welcome all ridicule & insults from bhakts for my saying #BJPwillLose #BJPwillLoseGujarat. Keep it coming. Pls amplify.

"prof small suggestion. Instead of 'BJP will lose Gujarat' how about #BJPwillLose Gujarat. Then we can trend that hashtag for different elections. Trends drive TV news."
Brilliantly useful. See, this is useful resistance even in the smallest way. This is how to not be useless.
