White British establishment has been way too racist and harsh towards #DianeAbbott (“DA”) among #BlackWomen—not denying many of their points—compared to others. Issues of DA erasing #GTR or #Holocaust memories or not—not denying the importance of it—is a separate issue than… 2/
…the main topic pointed out in the subject of the letter: White #HierarchyOfRacism that exists to date. Having worked as a London-based banker who was involved with diversity, I’ve seen Black was 9x more, Muslims up to 8x more discriminated at institutional & security levels…3/
1. The excellent report by Henry Jackson Society exposing anti-Hindu bullying in schools and #Hinduphobia has been released. But this Hinduphobia has been fostered by intellectuals and media who feed the very narrative which had led to the current situation found in schools.
2. For decades @guardian @Independent @BBC and others have been spewing Hinduphobia unchallenged. If you complain they ignore it. If you turn up they still ignore it. The Independent claim Hindu chant of "Jai Shri Ram" is a battle cry of hate. This is just one of many.
3. When you contact the Independent or any media giant they claim to be experts of Hindu issues. In reality they are just pushing neo-racism and neo-colonialism so revered by left-wing white elite who hate Hindus. They suffer from the #Churchill syndrome.
#Thread | A recent thread attempting to exonerate #Churchill of war crimes in India and Bengal has caused a stir.
It seems to skirt the blame on Japan or enemies of the empire and even attempts to make absurd & sensationalist remarks to gain traction.

While reading the thread, it was tough to find responsible quotes that could counter the widely held opinion that it was Churchill, his policies, and his 'hate' for India that led to millions dying in Bengal in the 1940s.

It's easy to take the "As someone who has read through thousands of pages of primary sources" route, but a better alternative would be to first critique Churchill's Secret War and spend time and effort in doing that.

En 1940, #Churchill avait dit : « jamais nous ne céderons. […] Ayez donc espoir et confiance ». Aujourd’hui, nous « célébrons » tragiquement 366 jours d’horreurs, de martyrs, de tragédies, de crimes et de souffrances psychologiques et physiques.
La guerre en #Ukraine est la preuve concrète que les régimes autoritaires, tel que le régime de #Poutine, ont peur de la démocratie. En ces 1 an de guerre, 1 an d’horreur, ayons une pensée solidaire au peuple #ukrainien et à son armée vaillante et désireuse de victoire.
Nous nous devons de ne pas oublier, de ne pas songer à aider ou soutenir #Poutine mais à lutter contre ce dernier. Nous le devons pour tous les disparus de cette atroce guerre. Le devoir de mémoire est primordial. En deux mots : #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦 ! (Gloire à l’#Ukraine !).
@humourbiglol @LesComplot Pas a Churchill.
Le Churchill défiant les allemands, allant debout ecouter le Peuple Londonien dans le métro… est un mythe!
Churchill haïssait la "sale populace", était agoraphobe, misanthrope et à vécu l'intégralité de la guerre dans son "bunker"!

Since the beginning of Russia's invasion of #Ukraine, President Zelensky has harnessed the full range of national resources to defend his country. A thread on the #leadership & speeches of @ZelenskyyUa. 1/25 🧵 mickryan.substack.com/p/a-tale-of-tw…
2/ Whether it is the mobilisation of Ukrainian people for military or civil defense purposes, to conduct cyber operations, engage in the global influence campaign or to simply keep their nation running, Zelensky has been the leader that Ukrainians look to.
3/ Of all the resources that Zelensky has appropriated to halt and throw back this vicious assault on #Ukraine, perhaps one of the most powerful has been his use of the written and spoken word.

@tanjil_rashid_ @ZareerMasani @saliltripathi 1. #Partition1947 counterfactuals aren't counterintuitive. #Partition ended a zero sum game among the same stale set of interlocutors conducting a dialogue of the deaf #Simla, June '45 onwards. #CabinetMissionPlan's devolution did NOT solve #India's impasse.
@tanjil_rashid_ @ZareerMasani @saliltripathi 2. #Jinnah accepted the #CabinetMissionPlan for an embryonic #Pakistan was assured, and permitted to secede, come 1957, if the #confederation was not to the #MuslimLeague's liking. Routinely overlooked by #Nehru's #Indian and #Pakistani baiters.
@tanjil_rashid_ @ZareerMasani @saliltripathi 3. To iterate: #CabinetMissionPlan was a pilot project to be reviewed decadally. Just how was #India and #Nehru to embark on #economic #planning and consolidate a #democratic #union of disparate elements riven by #regionalism, #casteism and #sectarianism?

Given Putin’s complete and soulless evil, I was compelled to peruse Churchill’s 1st volume of 5 books on WWII. In Churchillian elegance he says: “It’s my purpose, as one who lived and acted in these days, first to show how easily the tragedy of the Second World War could have 1/6
been prevented; how the malice of the wicked was reinforced by the weakness of the virtuous; how the structure and habits of democratic states, unless they are welded into larger organisms, lack those elements of persistence and conviction which can alone give security 2/6
to humble masses; how, even in matters of self-preservation, no policy is pursued for even 10 or 15 years at a time. We shall see how the counsels of prudence and restraint may become the prime agents of mortal danger; how the middle course adopted from desires for safety 3/6
