#MainBhiChowkidar is the most convenient way to shift accountability to people.
I'll explain.
"Everyone who is fighting corruption is a Chowkidaar"
Admitted.We're all fighting corruption.We all want NiravModi,Choksi,Mallya back.But who has the power to bring him back?
You Modiji.
"Everyone who is fighting dirt is a Chowkidaar"
Admitted. We want "Swacch Bharat" and will keep our surroundings clean but the open nalas,potholes on roads,dirty Ganga, will be cleaned by who?
You Modiji!

"Everyone who is fighting social evils is a Chowkidaar"
Admitted.We want+
+peace &harmony in our country.But ppl who lynch minorities/dalits,beat up inter-caste/religious couples,spread fake news & hate r encouraged by ministers from ur govt.Over 10women have accused a minister from ur govt of sexual harassment.
Who will stop ur ministers?
You Modiji.
"Everyone working hard for the progress of India is a Chowkidaar"
Admitted.
We study hard to add to the economy of India.But there are no jobs.
We work hard to pay our taxes but GST & notebandi have ruined the economy.
Who will give us jobs?
Who will fix the economy?
You Modiji.
So the million dollar question is:
Hum sab toh Chowkidaar bann Gaye but
Has Modiji been a good Chowkidaar?

Hi @AJStream
Here's a quick look at #CitizenshipBill in India for the international audience:
India shares borders with 7 countries including China & Pakistan.
The partition in 1947 saw millions displaced overnight. Countries were created & so was a refugee problem!
In 1955,the..
..then Congress govt. drew up guidelines as to who can acquire an Indian Citizenship & on what grounds.This was called the Citizenship Act 1955 which clearly stated that ILLEGAL migrants are those who (i)enter the country without valid travel documents,or (ii)enter with valid..
..documents but stay beyond the time permitted. Such ILLEGAL migrants are PROHIBITED from acquiring Indian citizenship.
In 2016,the Modi led BJP govt introduced the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill that intends to change the 1955 Citizenship Act. Under the new #CitizenshipBill the..

Thread.
This is why I think @kanhaiyakumar is the future of Indian politics.
Watch this lady questioning Kanhaiya on the legitimacy of questioning PM Modi's personal life (abandoning his wife Jashodaben and family) when we don't question Buddha who did the same.
- @kanhaiyakumar on why it is fair to question PM Modi's personal life because he uses his personal life to promote himself.
Listen in !
- @kanhaiyakumar on how PM Modi and now Yogi Adityanath are using the same "logic" as late Atal Bihari Vajpayee employed, to show that he's incorruptible and honest.
Kanhaiya also brings up the hypocrisy of PM Modi boasting about banning instant TT but abandoning his own wife.

As a student of history, I don't get this deep seated aversion that the BJP-led government has towards "Mughals". Is it so hard for them to understand that Mughals unlike the Mongols or other Central Asian invaders made India their home. For that matter even Aryans were..
...immigrants who made India their home and led to the advent of the Vedic age. That way the Dravidians should hate North "aryan" descendants. But when an immigrant makes a land their home and contributes to the economy and consolidation of a geographical area to provide..
...security from further invasions, he/she becomes a fellow citizen, not an enemy. Cherry picking incidents of breaking "temples" or "jiziya tax" (which by the way was abolished by Akbar) to show Mughals as barbarians is such a sad degeneration of the truth about about Medieval..

Chowkidar Raji 🇮🇳 🙏

#MainBhiChowkidar
This is a song which was enacted & was made exclusively for the late CM of #TamilNadu #MGR - MG Ramachandran
This person has rephrased it for Modiji @narendramodi
You may not understand
but it's a very famous & dear to heart song for many Tamilians
Meaning of song as many are requesting:
Can 1000 hands hide the brightness of Sun?
Can dams be built across to control the Fury of tide & water
You are born to rule the country
Your are born to be praised & hailed by all -
Come Modi Come Modi
#MainBhiChowkidar
Can a turkey (Rahul) ban the beautiful dancing peacock
Can owls (opposition) mock at the pleasent singing of Cuckoo
Can herd of rabbits withstand in front of 🦁 lion
This nation is my life
Are we not the righteous owner of this land ?

So, the past few weeks has seen a growing public awareness in the UK of how the far-right, especially the religious far-right, in the US likes to operate, and likes to use willing, if witless, pawns to do their bidding.

The name that's been making the headlines recently...

is The #Heritage #Foundation. But what, exactly, does The Heritage Foundation espouse? What is it's driving ideological foci?

And the answer to that, if you care one iota for women, or for LGBTQI+ people, is grim to say the least.

This is an organisation that states:

On SOGI (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Laws):

"SOGI laws are about forcing all Americans to embrace—and live out—certain beliefs about human sexuality. They are not about protecting the freedom of people to live as LGBT, but about coercing everyone else to...

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

INCREDIBLE READ. This is some SCARY STUFF GUYS.

This is what inflated government and governmental overreach leads to.

They’re stealing children and people are profiting off of it. It’s real. The United States has been overrun by truly evil systematic corruption.
Imagine this being you. Your children ripped from your arms and placed in the hands of cruel, abusive people profiting off your pain.

Evil.

#Cabal #QAnon #Corruption
Adoption subsidies. Incentive for people to adopt and foster children that they have no love for. I’m sure there are exceptions to this, but it’s insane. Evil people take advantage of systems set up like this.

So.

Time for something a little different, and an idea I’ve been toying with—a look at how #transphobes try to frame their narrative within a claim that they are only “concerned” about trans people existing.

I think it’s safe to say that every trans person in the...

community who isn’t a #transphobic arserag can now spot whenever the usual #hate groups and individuals deploy their dog-whistles to denigrate trans people, especially trans women, but it is all too easy to forget that for the average cis person with no experience of...

2/n
this the comments and phrases that #transphobes come out with can come across as bizarre, or non-sequiturs, or even occasionally even reasonable. That person, because they have no experience of this, doesn’t see those comments as the attacks they are, and so can’t...

Right then.

And so, finally, I get to turn my attention to the shambles that is the #FairPlay4Women guidance.

Hooray!!!

I'll be breaking up the posting times of this, so the whole thing will likely take a couple of hours to come through.

Stay awhile, and listen

But before we dive into the nitty gritty of what’s wrong with it (everything), let’s step back a bit and look at the big picture here. This is a consultation that is set up to look at the issue of making it easier for trans and intersex people to get a GRC to correct...

, or adjust, the initial info recorded on their birth certificate when it was first issued. That would be ALL trans and intersex people(and before you chime in with your usual bullshit, do you know what it is that actual intersex organisations say about trans people...
