At the height of Kashmir tension after Article 370, the New Yorker did a hit job against Narendra Modi. Entirely expected. But guess who fed the US journo? Rana Ayyub who actually managed to travel to Kashmir and "report" from there.

Totally sinister.

Here are some excerpts from that piece.
1. On the phone, she invited me to meet her in Mumbai and try to get into Kashmir.
2. When I arrived, she handed me a pair of scarves & told me to buy a kurta “I am ninety-nine per cent sure you will be caught, but you should come anyway."

3. Ayyub and I landed at the Srinagar airport two weeks after Modi’s decree. In the terminal was a desk labelled “Registration for Foreigners,” which she hustled me past. "Hustled me past." How? What is her source of network that enables something so brazen?

Nawab Nehru's Nawabi love for seculars and the languages of invaders. On the floor of the House. Circa 1949. Ostensibly, he was opposed to Hindustani as India's national language. Ostensibly. This is what he said.

"Do not conceive for a moment that I am a communal-minded man. When I oppose Hindustani I do so, not on account of my lack of love for those people, but because of my love and affection for them"

"Today if you speak for Hindustani, it will not be heard. You will be misrepresented, you will be misunderstood and therefore my honest advice to Maulana Hifzur Rahman is that he should wait for two or three years he will have his Urdu language, he will have his Persian script,

It might sound unbelievable today but for about
four decades, Delhi was held hostage by Imam of the Jama Masjid. He would play Indira Gandhi like a fine-tuned fiddle.

The other organisation that brought down the Delhi administration to its knees was the fanatical Jamaat-e-Islami. It would marshal 1000s of the faithful for intimidating street-marches waving green flags if some "demand" was not met.

In that era, Jamat-e-Islami's "journal," titled RADIANCE was dutifully read by Congress ministers and politicians. Guess who were on the editorial board of Radiance? Former Prime Minister I.K. Gujral, Khushwant Singh and P.N. Haksar.

Found this on the National Institute of Open Schooling, under Ministry of Education. This is from the chapter on the Guptas for Senior Secondary students. Ready? Here's a tidbit from "Literature" during the Guptas.

Kavikulaguru Kalidasa gets less just 4 sentences. And how!
"The greatest of all the poets was Kalidasa...The notable feature of his works is that the characters of higher caste speak in Sanskrit while those of lower caste and women speak in
Prakrit."

And a clever play of context-free writing: "Tantrism...did not believe in any caste or gender bias and admitted both women and shudras in its ranks."

Those here from the old days will remember the kind of "debates" Rajdeep used to run on his dog-and-pony shows first on NDTV and then in his own kirana shop, CNN-IBN for more than a decade.

Before we proceed, we need to remember how naive the Vajpayee govt was. But for NDA 1.0 which opened up private players in TV news, crooks & fixers like Prannoy, Barkha, Rajdeep, et al would be unable to inflict the irreparable damage they've done on public discourse

The script on these dog-and-pony shows were obviously rigged with the same theme. As long as Vajpayee govt was in power, the relentless and vicious hounding these media houses did is unbelievable. The idea was to somehow bring down the govt at any cost.
