A friend sent me a video that is apparently making the rounds. It's titled "#Modi the Boss," and features various world leaders praising Modi's popularity and greeting him.
Modi's #Bhakts are clearly in orgasmic bliss with this, and opponents say it's pure propaganda.

But there's more to this than meets the eye.
1. It's a fact that Modi's popularity fills world leaders with awe. They would give an arm and a leg to be as popular in their countries as Modi is in India. He can screw up worse than anyone can imagine and still be popular.

2. In contrast, leaders of most world democracies have to worry about the #economy, #jobs, #Unemployment, #prices, #inflation, #recession, etc. If anything goes wrong with these, they might lose the next #election.

Read this before you vote. Karnataka is Sarva Janangada Shantiya Thota. A big threat to our society is hate speech. Chronicled below are #25 of the most hateful speeches from Ktaka. Unsurprisingly from @BJP4Karnataka & its allies
Do we want these people back in power? #ByeByeBJP

1/n - @MunirathnaMLA, Horticulture minister, @BJP4Karnataka candidate for RR Nagar, despite the MCC being in force incited violence against Christians by asking people to chase, beat them. He made this speech on @tv9kannada on the 31st March #BJPFailsKarnataka #HateSpeechBeda
2/n @ikseshwarappa, MLA of Shimoga, star campaigner for @BJP4Karnataka, has been a repeat hate speech offender. He promises that "Masjids will also be destroyed on the lines of the #BabriMasjid in #Ayodhya & temples will be rebuilt there too". #BJPFailsKarnataka #HateSpeechBeda
Independent India has always been a vibrant democracy, except for the #Emergency years of #IndiraGandhi from 1975-77. That it has taken a decisive turn to religious majoritarianism under the #BJP and under #Modi since 2014 doesn't change that fact. (1/)
Democracy is not necessarily congruent with liberal values or even human rights. #Slavery was legal both in the democracy of Great Britain as well as the USA for almost a hundred years since the US' formation. Even a White woman was not considered equal to a man in America. (2/)
यूपी पुलिस उमेश पाल हत्याकांड के आरोपियों में से एक गुड्डू मुस्लिम की तलाश में जुटी हुई है। गुड्डू मुस्लिम को बम बनाने का एक्सपर्ट माना जाता है। अब अयोध्या के रहने वाले रणधीर सिंह लल्ला ने गुड्डू को लेकर कई खुलास किए। उन्होंने गुड्डू मुस्लिम को सबसे बड़ा धोखेबाज बताया।

...Meerut were acquitted, while 23 accused have left this world and 30 accused are missing, against whom the trial will continue. The prosecution failed to produce sufficient evidence before the court, due to which benefit of doubt was given to the accused. #muslimsinindia
It took 36 years for the court to pronounce the verdict i.e. those who were accused in youth were acquitted in old age and children whose parents were killed have crossed puberty. Their families still await even the first glimmer of justice. #MalianaMassacre #IndianSupremeCourt
#India has many temples of #LordRam, but Raveri village in #Maharashtra's #Yavatmal district has a temple dedicated to Goddess #Sita. Read the thread on how the local lore about this shrine was harnessed in a unique initiative to #women their rights

This is a temple to Goddess #Sita and not #LordRam, unlike the other shrines where Ram, Sita, Laxman and even Lord Hanuman are worshipped together. Here, the presiding deity is Sita Mata.

It is said that when a pregnant Mata #Sita was asked to leave #Ayodhya by #LordRam, she came to Raveri, which is located in in Ralegaon taluka. She was hungry and asked villagers for some grain. But they refused and she cursed them that no wheat would grow there #SharadJoshi

Things that changed in 🇮🇳 w Ram Janmabhoomi Movt/#Ayodhya/#BabriMasjid Demolition, a thread 🧵:
1. Daily, yearlong RW propaganda from the 80s onwards finally made most Hindu school kids esp in Hindi belt communal. 90s saw an increase in slurs & discrimination against Muslim kids

2. Post Kargil War, post-Godhra and pogrom, the victim community was blamed simply for their identity and targetting in all spheres of life escalated further.
3. Interfaith couples became unsafe on a larger scale than ever before.
Diana Eck presented D. Mandal as a 'historian' on #Ayodhya.
This is what she cited D. Mandal as saying about the evidence of a temple beneath the Babri Masjid— "There is not a single piece of evidence for the existence of a temple of brick, stone, or both."

The Sunni Central Board of Waqf presented D. Mandal as an expert witness for its side.
This is what D. Mandal said under oath:
⊙ I never visited Ayodhya.
⊙ I do not have any specific knowledge of history of Babur's reign.
⊙ I did not get any degree of diploma in archaeology.

1. The Road from Lucknow to Ayodhya is very good. Lakshman-ji indeed takes us to Sriram smoothly, in around 2.5 hours, without stress and strain.
Our driver scared us “Bearish ki vajah-se Rasta bahut bigaDh-gayaa hai”.
Exaggeration it was. Felt happy. Such high expectations.

2. Forget the road from Lucknow to Ayodhya, even the roads from Prayag and Kashi to Ayodhya are in good shape. Got a good peek into them.
The road from Lucknow was a smaller one which has expanded into a proper 2+2 lane road of good quality during Yogi-ji/Modi-ji.

On 30 Oct 1990 then CM of #UttarPradesh Mulayam Singh Yadav ordered PAC to fire on Hindus from across #India who had gathered at Ayodhya to demand the liberation of Ram Janmabhoomi. Undeterred, kar sevaks regathered on 2 Nov when they faced bullets again.

I was with The Statesman those days and was in #Ayodhya on 30 October and 2 November, 1990.
A sadhu standing next to me on Ram Chabutra took a bullet on his forehead when the firing began. He crumbled into a heap.
All you could hear was the crack of rifle fire and 'Jai Sri Ram'.

Along with other journalists, including Mark Tully, I took shelter behind a dilapidated structure.
When the firing stopped, we stepped out. Ayodhya was littered with slippers and bits of clothing. There were people lying around -- injured or dead.
There was an eerie silence.

#Muslims have two separate nations, carved out of India, where non-Muslims can’t survive even as second class citizens. Hindus, on the other hand, cannot have back, the three of their most sacred places of worship.
Hindus got #Ayodhya, after several protracted battles, spanning over five centuries, including seven decades of struggle in independent India. #Kashi is in courts and status quo continues in #KrishnaJanambhumi in #Mathura. The absurdity of the situation, gnaws the Hindu psyche.
If left to themselves, Hindus and Muslims may have sorted out these vexed issues between themselves. But because of the mischievous role of '#leftliberals', even any meaningful dialogue not been possible.
