Dear twitter people, maybe you don't know much about #Kashmir, maybe you'd like to know more. I'm going to do a thread w links about why I think it's important to challenge the dominant statist narrative & move to a just peace for the #Kashmiri people.
Pls. feel free to add.

Ps. It’s strange how words go into a corridor of the mind of a #Kashmiri - like when BBC mic guy said ‘you’re *free*’ after wiring me, or how an email about ‘wonder if had *disappeared*’

#Thread:

Don’t be creeped out when I tell you this. I like historic sites. Okay, that’s not the creepy part. This is: Buildings + spaces call to me. No. I don’t hear things but sometimes a feeling takes over and tells me to stop and investigate and when I do...
They lead me to fascinating places. If you’re new here, you should know that I’m currently in Memphis, TN. I’m a part of a fellowship that’s going to assist me in opening my first school. Today, a friend of mine came to scoop me for lunch and on the way there I saw something...
It was an abandoned building and the plants had taken most of the lawn over, but something said: STOP. Here’s my friend @PoeticXposure explaining it...

THREAD: Six years ago, in July 2013, I was in #Kashmir. My stay there for work and travel purposes coincided with the onset of #AmarnathYatra due to which never ending convoy movement & overwhelming troop deployment on various Yatra (religious pilgrimage) routes. (1/n)
The Yatris comported themselves as militant Hindu nationalists, carrying the bhagwa & Indian flags. They aggressively shouted slogans like- Bharat me rehna hai, bam bam bhole kehna hai” (“If you want to live in India, you have to chant Shiva’s name”). (2/n)
They littered the place with garbage heaps, washed clothes and themselves openly. Recently, pictures of open defecation have gone viral on social media. Absolute disregard for cleanliness and the environment was palpable in their behavior. (3/n)

#Thread "Darkest Side of #Gandhi"

I personally think. Under Gandhi India never could get freedom with his rule of "Ahimsa".

India is not Independent because of Gandhi.

N share this.

To know more 👇👇👇
1)Britsh PM Clement Attlee had accepted that Gandhi’s role was minimal n we left because of erosion of loyalty of armymen. Attlee told Netaji, not Gandhi, got India freedom.
Not just this, this was already anticipated in 1945 by British.

INDEPENDENCE IS NOT FOR GANDHI.
2) i)In 1900 Boer War as an assistant superintendent of the Indian volunteer stretcher-bearer corps.Gandhi wrote in his autobiography-
“When the war was declared,my personal sympathies were all with the Boers,but my loyalty to the British rule drove me to participation with this

#THREAD | I'll be tracking pro-govt deaths again for the #Idlib #Hama operation. Some notes:
- ALL deaths come from pro-govt sources
- Exact places of deaths are only partially accurate
- Numbers KIA should be viewed as approximations
- If I post anything wrong please correct me
#Idlib_Dawn operation began May 6 targeting #Qalaat_alMudiq axis on #Hama

At least 10 loyalist KIA including 1 on Jub Ahmar (#Latakia/#Hama border)

HOWEVER May 6 was also 'martyrs day' so Facebook was flooded w/ old martyr posts making collecting accurate data very difficult.
7 of these deaths were #Tiger_Forces w/ 6 from #Taha_Regiment's Maskana Group and Omar Naqr Group (pic)

Jub Ahmar death was from #4th_Division, although I was told there were many other deaths here not reported on loyalist social media.

Twitter may not be the most effective place to solicit for this, but if you (or, more likely, your parents, grandparents, great grandparents) did forced labor during WW2 for ghettos under German control, please read this. #Thread
Back in 1997 there was a landmark case in Germany that determined that people who'd labored in the Lodz Ghetto would get credit toward German Social Security for that work.
In 2002, Germany codified it and said that forced laborers in any ghetto under German control were eligible. At the time (2000-2005), my full time job was as a case manager to Holocaust survivors and Nazi Victims. I did stuff like take them to the doctor, pluck their chin
