If you are a Hindu, then, this story is for you. After reading this thread, you will feel proud to be born in India & sympathise with those who couldn’t return back during Partition. (Long Thread) @Aabhas24 @ARanganathan72

@Aabhas24 @ARanganathan72 This is the story of Jogendra Nath Mandal. He was one of the Founding Fathers of Pakistan. Wait, what? Yes. He was a Bengali, and a Hindu ( Dalit ). He was subjected to vehement caste discrimination as he belonged to the untouchable “Namasudra Community.” #BatlaHouse

BR Ambedkar, the father of Indian Constitution, would not have made it to the Constituent Assembly had it not been for Mandal. The @INCIndia was opposed to getting Ambedkar elected. #MissionMangal @arifmohdkha

Independence Day & the Mahatma:
I remember going to this restaurant in Siem Reap, Cambodia, which is operated by the North Korean government. It is believed that these restaurants are a front for the Kim family to launder their money to get past international sanctions. (1/16)

The waitresses who work at these restaurants are picked from elite families in Pyongyang. They are posted at these places & waiting on tables is just a part of the job. Mostly, they’re expected to listen on conversations (especially those of South Korean customers) (2/16)
They live as prisoners in these places. Stepping out of the place is impossible & their families back home would be dead if they escaped.
All employees are North Koreans who have had zero exposure to the outside world. Therefore, I was very curious to interact with them. (3/16)

I don't know who created this funny Whatsapp forward that's spread like wildfire amongst people from #Kalimpong. But it has made me start a thread to share a few things you might not know about how my hometown in the hills celebrates our #IndependenceDay #FitinAugust #PondaAugus
While the rest of the country celebrates our #IndependenceDay on the 15th of August, we #Kalimpong folks need 3 WHOLE DAYS! If you gotta party, party like you mean it!

I don't think there's ever been a #FitinAugust celebration in #Kalimpong without the Singhi (Snow Lion) & Yak Dance presented by the Indo Tibetan Buddhist Cultural Institute, Kalimpong. #PondaAugus. #IndpendenceDay #15thAugust #India Photo Courtesy: Praveen Chettri

Eager crowds starting to stream in for the #SaluteToAmerica, at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC.
Scene from the media riser about an hour before the #IndependenceDay #SaluteToAmerica event begins @ the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC. (4G basically nonexistent due to the big crowd; will send more photos/video when possible!)
I had the distinct honor to participate in 4th of July celebrations for the FIRST TIME—#SaluteToAmerica—here in Washington, DC (you may know that I'm Canadian). I saw a genuine and moving celebration of America and especially the US military. VIDEO & PHOTO THREAD commencing NOW👇
