BJP's political wiles backfired again! It used Assam's prejudice against Hindus, Muslims & Nepali settlers as well as Adivasis, to push the #NCR there. But as most excluded were Hindus, they brought in the #CAB! Assam is on fire for now they feel cheated😒
hindustantimes.com/india-news/ass…
#CAB2019 might lead to a resurgence in the ULFA killings of Bengali Hindus & Gorkhas in Assam. Last year the ULFA had already started protesting the #CAB, and to drive home the point had begun systemic execution of Bengali families. scroll.in/article/900826…
#CitizenshipAmendmentBill2019 will specially endanger Nepalis living not only in Assam but also in the rest of the NE where they face persecution. In 2015 Meghalaya violently drove out 15000 Nepalis by burning some of them alive. reliefweb.int/report/india/n…
Surely the BJP knew how Assam would erupt after #CAB2019 was passed given how desperately the Assamese want to throw all non-Assamese people out with #NRC. But doesn't matter. It'll impose President's rule on Assam & get on w/the real plan of targetting Muslims in Bengal w/ CAB.
The violent protests in Assam against #CAB2019 are really the worst show of bigotry. They are not protesting the anti-Muslim goal of CAB. They are saying they want all ethnic, tribal & religious minorities kicked out of Assam. Please don't support them.
People supporting the #CABProtest in #Assam, need to be mindful that this racist, anti-immigrant protest against Hindu & Muslim Bengali immigrants has a violent history.

In 1983, the Assamese butchered 3000 Bengalis in just 6 hours. We don't want another #Nellie massacre!
#CABBill2019 also applies to #Tripura. And like #Assam there has been violent protests against Hindu and Muslim immigrants from Bangladesh in the past. The #Mandai massacre of 1980 was as grotesque as the Gujarat pogrom of 2000. Hence DO NOT support Assam's violent protests.
The #CABProtest has spread to #Meghalaya. Reports of attacks on non-tribal shops.

A reminder there have been violent attacks on Nepali settlers in Meghalaya. In 2010 a number of Nepalis were burnt alive & an ultimatum given which forced 15000 to flee.

#CABProtests in Meghalaya: Shillong market shut down after cars burnt

Shops belonging to non-tribals residing in state targeted, say reports; incidents of vandalism reported from Police Bazar and Jaiaw areas.

eastmojo.com/meghalaya/2019…
Bengalis are facing threats & violence in Assam. Many have started to flee. #CABProtest .
Middle-class Bengalis now feel unsafe in Assam as the #CAB protests chant "Bongalik Thakibo nidiu" (We won't let Bengalis stay). A Bengali's bookstore burnt. A Muslim woman forced to chant "Joy aai Axom" (hail mother Assam). #CABProtest

I'm shocked by Nobel Laureate Abhijeet Banerjee's this article on #rape! He thinks men rape because they do not get enough sex! And that child marriage is how village patriarchs try to prevent rape! I'm very worried about his gender empowerment projects!
hindustantimes.com/columns/it-s-t…
A thread

2/This article is #AbhijitBanerjee's explanation for the Delhi bus gang rape and an increase in such rapes. Do we assume that if poor men were each given 3-4 room houses where each person has private space to have sex then he won't rape? Do rich men not rape/gang rape?
3/ In all his work with the underprivileged, did #AbhijitBanerjee learn nothing about the sexual mores of various tribal communities in India which are far more open than educated urbans and allow for sexual freedom & choice for men & women (w/out owing homes or having privacy)?

Yes #SmashBrahmanicalPatriarchy and every other kind of patriarchy, misogyny & #sexism regardless of the caste, class, race or religion that habits it. And they all do. But this poster #JackDorsey held was interesting for a number of reasons which I will discuss in this thread.
2/ Firstly, the picture on this poster of a #Dalit woman, reinforces upper-caste, discriminatory, caste stereotypes that holds that the lower caste are dark skinned with Afroid hair & facial features. We all know this untrue. There is no way you can identify caste by color!
3/ In fact it is this kind of stereotype about what Dalit women look like and do, which Jack's poster reinforces, that Dalit women in India have been fighting. #jackinindia

11 signs that the government is gaslighting all citizens in India with #Aadhaar.

Do READ this and think about it! 👇

psychologytoday.com/us/blog/here-t…
2/ #Aadhaar is system, govt & pvt co. are using to enslave Indians by gaslighting. #Gaslighting is a tactic in which a person or entity, in order to gain more power, makes a victim question their reality. Govt has
brainwashed us to question our OWN identity. Am I who I say I am?
3/ Since gaslighting is a tactic of abusers, dictators, narcissists, and cult leaders, the goal of using #Aadhaar as a #gaslighting tool is by now pretty clear. It is done slowly, so the victim doesn't realize how much they've been brainwashed.

🔴🔴🔴Long Thread 🔴🔴🔴

Topic: The #NRC v #CAB Debate

Given the umpteen opinions and point of views surrounding NRC and CAB, I wanted to write a simple and neutral point of view on these 2 bills, covering pros & cons of the same.

#CABBill #NRC #RajyaSabha #LokSabha #AmitShah
Before I start. If any of you notice glaring errors or misjudgement in my thread, I'm more than happy to hear you. But let's keep the thread / replies civil.

#CABBill #NRC #RajyaSabha #LokSabha #AmitShah
Firstly, let's see what each bill stands for.

NRC - Now only limited to Assam focuses on deciding the citizenship of those living in #Assam by judging their residentship/presence (or that of their ancestors) before March 24, 1971.

Most RWs want everything instant

And most are pussies yes you heard it right pussies

In 3 states BJP lost elections before general elections n all these bread was first one to get scared and started giving all kinda advice to BJP which won 22 states in last 5 years.
Why I am saying this now is has a reason

After elections I have noticed many RWs unhappy with Modi gov for various reasons

Well church attack 2 (attacks on temples n rapes of hindu girls from 6 year old to 75 years old by peaceful) has been successfully because of u morons
I have never seen or heard of Hindu unity till last 2 general elections and we got best performing gov in Indian history
That's what enemy of this country doesn't want
They tried minority victim card during first tenure of BJP gov but it backfired

@sardesairajdeep Mohammad Khurshid assaulted, tonsured 2 women for resisting rape bid by councillor in Bihar | No protest just becoz he is a Muslim? hindustantimes.com/india-news/2-w…
@sardesairajdeep #Breaking | After Kairana, it’s now Meerut. Nearly 150 Hindu families have been forced to leave.
UP CM @myogiadityanath has now ordered a probe into this matter.

TIMES NOW’s @Amir_Haque with details.
@sardesairajdeep @myogiadityanath @Amir_Haque google.com/amp/s/www.ndtv… in Pune a boy was set on fire by 3 Muslims because he was a Hindu, his dying statement on camera confirms that. No hearts bled for him. Hindu lives are cheap and comes without a pricetag.

#Hindus have lived in dark for almost 70yrs in absence of correct history, completely ignorant of the wicked misdeeds of #Congress against the Hindu nation!
Was the spirit of #VandeMataram diluted for personal gains? @INCIndia
Read👇🏻
The 1st day of 2019 began with #Congress CM Kamalnath rejecting #VandeMataram singing at the Secretariat
says, ‘we’ve sung it from time-to-time, need no certificate of patriotism from anyone’
Well @OfficeOfKNath
justify the events in the following thread & prove ur nationalism!
The revolutionaries in Bengal had a profound impact on entire country
An alarmed Viceroy, Lord Curzon combined with residue of islamic Imperialism partitioned Bengal to eliminate looming threat
16 October 1905, separated Muslim Eastern areas from Hindu Western areas.
