So the lies begin to flow early in the lecture and they don’t stop. Within the first 5 minutes, referring to a photograph RG makes it seem as if opposition MPs are often arrested violently and thrown in jail just for discussing issues among themselves! #RahulGandhiinCambridge
I noticed another big lie when he claims that at various points 50-100,000 people were marching at one go. Again no evidence of that. Like with COVID numbers people feel they can exaggerate at will when it comes to India. #RahulGandhiinCambridge

I finally heard #RahulGandhi ‘s full speech and present to you a synopsis below to save you from an hour of torture.

His speech has three key themes:

1. Bad mouth India & demonise #Modi :

#democracy under attack, press judiciary undermined, girls getting gang-raped…1/7
People dissuading from hugging kids coz they were ‘dirty’ (alluding to untouchability), Kashmir is a violent place, Modi has a divisive agenda, he treats Sikhs, Muslims, minorities as second class citizens, he is trying to enforce his own idea of India on a union of states…2/7
which requires negotiation & not coercion!

2. Present his world view:

Two dominant ideas, one of #USA which believes in individual liberties & freedom and second of #China for which harmony in society is paramount (nothing new in it). US believes in being on top of nature…3/7
