Mr @kotl you will be remembered in history for being persuaded to retrospectively lend your name to help a fascist grasp at a straw of international validation three months b4 a crucial election when Indians want to save their Constitution by ousting him dailyo.in/politics/hindu…
. @kotl the man you've been inveigled into endorsing on election eve is a fascist who's undermining India's Constitution & democratic institutions newsclick.in/how-modi-gover…
. @kotl you know what Jag Sheth told you about Modi bringing brilliant economic development for India? Yeah that's a lie. Read @guardian on Modi's signature demonetisation move theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
. @kotl here's the @nytimes on another signature Modi move, GST and the utter devastation of the economy wrought by Modi nytimes.com/2018/01/06/wor…
Here's the @nytimes editorial on Modi's promotion of dangerous bigots and fascist organisations violently attacking Muslims' civil liberties, women's freedoms. @kotl nytimes.com/2017/03/23/opi…
Oh and @kotl you think Trump's Twitter use is bad? Wait till you read about Modi's! news.vice.com/en_us/article/…
Imagine if Trump were to personally send a message describing the Ku Klux Klan as patriotic and loyal? Mr @kotl Modi personally sent a message endorsing a Hindu supremacist terrorist outfit implicated in assassinations of Indian rationalists & journalists thewire.in/politics/polit…
The next few tweets Mr @kotl are about Modi's own speeches laced with bigotry & Islamophobia. This one was an Islamophobic taunt to the Vice President of India Hamid Ansari scroll.in/article/847121…
Mr @kotl would you endorse Trump's bigoted talk about migrants? Read @svaradarajan on how Modi makes Hindu migrants/refugees welcome, but brands Muslim refugees 'infiltrators'. Modi has since enacted this bigotry into law, amending India's Citizenship Act
m.economictimes.com/opinion/et-com…
Modi's dog whistle Islamophobia costs Muslim lives. His speeches implying Muslims are evil for eating beef, slaughtering cows has emboldened Hindu supremacist mobs to lynch Muslims in the name of 'cow protection'
outlookindia.com/blog/story/the…
Here, @kotl is @anniegowen of the @washingtonpost on Modi's signal achievement - unleashing anti Muslim lynch mobs of unemployed youth who kill in the name of protecting cows washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pac…
Mr @kotl do read @nilanjanab in the @washingtonpost on how the man you've endorsed with your name tacitly legitimises lynching of Muslims by Hindu supremacist mobs washingtonpost.com/news/global-op…
Mr @kotl here's @jslaternyc on more similarities between Modi & Trump, specifically, getting rid of India's equivalent of FBI head allegations to avoid investigations into a scabdalously corrupt defence deal washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pac…
Mr @kotl here's a leading Indian journalist on how Modi chooses not to act against the 'cow terrorists' who are lynching Muslims
washingtonpost.com/news/global-op…
Modi is a proud member of the @RSSorg founded by Golwalkar who in 1939 admired Hitler's purge of Jews as a 'good lesson' for India 'to learn and profit by' about how to treat India's Muslims indianexpress.com/article/opinio…
I could go on and on Mr @kotl but I'll stop here. History will hold that you should have read up on Modi before allowing your friend Jag Sheth to persuade you it was okay to give Modi an award in your name as he battles people's anger 3 months b4 elections.
And @kotl do note Jag Sheth specifically claims YOU personally, minus any jury, selected Modi for the award. History will remember YOU as the guy who handpicked this corrupt fascist trying to destroy Indian democracy & economy, for an award in your name
And @kotl do meet Ramdev the 'godman' whose company Patanjali was one of the sponsors of the event at which Modi was given the award in your name and whom this @nytimes profile rightly associates with 'darker forces' nytimes.com/2018/07/26/mag…
Oh and @kotl here is the OTHER sponsor of the award event - a TV channel that a senior leader from Modi's own party has called a 'North Korean channel' for its shameless propaganda for Modi. It's basically Fox News on steroids. thequint.com/news/india/tal…
And @kotl Republic TV is also one of the leading purveyors of fake news - specifically fake news that makes Muslims, Kashmiris, feminists, rights activists, journalists, students, all critics of Modi vulnerable to violence by branding them 'anti-India' scroll.in/article/863542…

"The core of Vande Mataram is a hymn to goddess Durga: this is so plain that there can be no debate about it.... no Mussulman can be expected patriotically to worship the ten-handed deity as ‘Swadesh’ [the nation]." - Tagore in a letter to Bose. #VandeMatram
"This year many of the special [Durga] Puja numbers of our magazines have quoted verses from Vande Mataram – proof that the editors take the song to be a hymn to Durga." Tagore in a letter to Bose on #VandeMatram
"The novel Anandamath is a work of literature, and so the
song (Vande Mataram) is appropriate in it. But Parliament is a place of union for all religious groups, and there the song cannot be appropriate." - Tagore in a letter to Bose on #VandeMatram

Is there any news channel that has taken the time to educate themselves & viewers about the difference betw civil & criminal offences in matters of marriage, divorce, while discussing Ordinance against Instant Triple Talaq? #Thread on #TripleTalaqOrdinance
Most channels spread the false idea that the Ordinance by criminalising Muslim husbands who desert without a legal divorce, is ending a 'privilege' that Muslim men alone enjoyed. Men of all communities do it, Muslim personal law sanctioned it b4 SC verdict #TripleTalaqOrdinance
How can desertion of wives without legal divorce be treated as a criminal offence if a Muslim man does it and not if a Hindu man does it? Deter qazis etc from sanctioning it by scrapping registration if they sanction ITT. #TripleTalaqOrdinance

"Three months before the 2016 election, a small group gathered at Trump Tower to meet with Donald Trump Jr.... The emissary, George Nader, told Trump that the princes who led Saudi Arabia and UAE were eager to help his father win election as president."

nytimes.com/2018/05/19/us/…
"Donald Trump Jr. responded approvingly... and after those initial offers of help, Nader was quickly embraced as a close ally by Trump campaign advisers, meeting frequently with Jared Kushner and Michael T. Flynn, who became the president’s first national security adviser."
"It is unclear what — if any — direct assistance Saudi Arabia and UAE may have provided. But two people familiar with the meetings said that Trump campaign officials did not appear bothered by the idea of cooperation with foreigners."

#History/#Art thread – From my recent trip to Madurai/Tirunelveli. On Jain sites (some with a rich history dating back to at least the 3rd cent. BCE), early Pandyan rock-cut cave temples (7th-8th cent. CE) & the amazing Vettuvan koil.

Pic: Mahavira (~8 cent CE), Kizhakuyilkudi
Before I start on the places, the history around all this is fascinating & splits opinion. Is it apt to call the script Tamili/Tamil Brahmi? Did it develop independently in the Tamil country/come with the Jain monks from the north? Were 8,000 Jains actually impaled in Madurai?>
>Were the Saivites overaggressive in promoting their faith? Shall only be happy to discuss on these separately (unless it gets too long/irrational). And I’m not posting every inscription from the places here, despite their importance. Again, shall be happy to discuss them.

Thanks in no small part to @Lin_Manuel's crazy-popular @HamiltonMusical, Twitter is abuzz that #OTD 7/11/1804 Aaron Burr killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel. But what happened next? Litigation, of course! Today's #CourtingHistory covers Burr's indictments in New Jersey & New York
1/ In the musical, Burr laments "I survived, but I paid for it // Now I’m the villain in your history." Did killing Hamilton make Burr a villain? Recall that Burr was popular enough in 1800 that he was just one vote away from becoming President when the election deadlocked...
2/ But Burr's star was falling fast even *before* killing Hamilton. He's the VP at the time, but he's disliked by POTUS. And in Mar. 1804, he loses the election for NY governor to a relative unknown. Even if Burr wasn't already a villain before shooting Hamilton, he was no hero.

1. Three months before the 2016 election, DONDON JR. met at Trump Tower with Joel Zamel (an Israeli specialist in social media manipulation) , George Nader (He who FLIPPED and that's key here) and Erik Prince (he who met Putin's cabana boy at the Seychelles, WITH NADER).
2. Why would they meet, you ask? To offer help to the Trump team and to start forging the "relationships" that shaped policy well into Trump's first year in office. Oh, you say? Oh.
3. PRINCE arranged the meeting. Nader told Trump Jr. that crown princes of Saudi Arabia AND UAE were eager to HELP TRUMP WIN THE ELECTION. As you know, this very rarely means something perfectly clean and legal.
