The irony of Indian secularism-pluralism...
The duplicity of those who propagate it ....
We have a problem with saying Vande Mataram, chanting Bharat Mata ki Jai & we won’t stand up for Jana Gana Mana.
But hey ! Today let’s bring out the National flag & sing that Anthem we don’t respect & expect India to be overwhelmed, & teary eyed.
A dangling cross or the symbol 786 on a dashboard is a sign of faith but a Hanuman sticker & the greeting Jai Shri Ram turns our blood cold.
But hey! To warm the cockles of your heart we have Tera Mera Kya Rishta ? Laa Ilaha Illallah.
The belief of millions in Bhagwan Ram is mocked as mythological.
But hey! To twist the knife there’s Faiz for you
Hum Dekhenge
with the specially sensitive lines
~Sab taaj uchale jaenge. Sab takht giraye jayenge. Bas naam rahega Allah ka. Hum dekhenge~

The Anatomy of an Indian Liberal #CAA
~Class ~
Privileged, educated, whatchoo wearing to the protest?

~First Language~
English.
Discovered that Kaafiron se Azaadi has such a goosebumpy ring to it.
(Someone just told us that we’re the Kaafirs…go onnnn…!)
~Religious Denomination~
Sort of Hindu. You know that Attithi Devo Bhava stuff & that Kutumba Kutumba.

- I can no longer fix cabinets posts.
Practically no terror attacks & no sensitive information to pass on. I’ve lost my star status 😢

- No one takes me seriously after MSG. The less said about my spouse the better.
- I have a stable of pedestrian writers but they’ve all been called out. Since my piece de resistance of one foggy winter night things haven’t looked good at all.

- My colour coordinated gamcha & my lazy voiced lawyer friend have lost our touch, it seems
- My boyfriend is locked up.

- From communist/atheist to a demure (I try) head covered Bibi I’ve been keeping count of the days we’ve been denied the internet but no one is listening.

Imagine what has been interrupted.
Imagine what has been disrupted.
That the entire eco-system has no hesitation to set fire to this country because they believe they’ve been deprived of what was rightfully theirs & held once, so firmly.
Across the world in half decent countries, politicians lose elections & resign accepting the people’s verdict.
Yes, they blame every one except themselves but they retreat to lick their wounds preparing to fight another day.
However here, those who have lost power have been determined from day one to inflame passions, to twist & divide, to instigate riots, to push a civil war if need be.

Concept of Islam and the nation state are ideologically opposite concepts - both cannot coincide as former abhors non Islamic culture & is abt expansion-of footprint in terms of territory & people with overall objective of establishing writ of Islam as per the book.
As against this nation state stands on the edifice of shared identity built around culture, land and affinity amongst residents, celebrates diversity. All the talk of Vande Matram or Bharat Mata Ki Jai at Jamia is classical taqia with sanction of book!
Don’t let your guard go down just because Islamists are singing Vande Matram or Jana Gana Man or are unfurling tricolour at Jamia - check the logo and read what Zakir Hussain wrote to explain it here jmi.ac.in/aboutjamia/pro… and then read msg of Zakir Hussain - pic 3

PM Modi interview to @IndianExpress is filled with gems. Thread on the same. Kindly RT and share.
@IndianExpress Starts with praising IE.

I take news in The Indian Express very seriously; by and large, it has made a name for itself in the world of investigative journalism. In that, it is still ahead of others.
@IndianExpress Speaks about current shortcomings in MP & Raj reporting.

But the horrific rape in Alwar, Rajasthan, missed the relentless follow-up you are known for. But when people are booked by police in MP for chanting ‘Modi, Modi’, it missed your front page. Farm loan waiver, unemployment

Happy Birthday @thewire_in! You turn 4, I hear, and I thought this would be a good time to revisit the illustrious journey this remarkable portal has had. I credit amreekan @svaradarajan for this success. Shall we begin?
1. Leftist The Wire run by Amreekan Siddharth Varadarajan has a problem when PM Modi says Jai Shree Ram. He thinks it is electoral malpractice. Apt article to start the thread with. Jai Jai Shree Ram
opindia.com/2019/05/greeti…
2. The Wire and its star "journalist" peddles another outlandish lie about RSS. This is a habit of course. Not the first time and won't be the last. After all, the deranged often repeat the same gibberish over and over again.

Of course saying 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' is NOT communal. But don't u think, of later, the slogan has been hijacked & has taken communal overtones in the past few years. It is now regularly been screamed by Hindutva goons before/after they attack people. Let me share a few examples
Thousands of Hindutva goons rally in support of Shambu who hacked a Muslim to death & burnt him alive.
They first attacked Police, unfurl saffron flag on Court Premises while chanting 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' & JaiSriRam in Support of terrorist Shambu Regar.
Hindutva goons start chanting ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’ before/during/after riots, Burn down Police Station, Vehicles and Murder a Cop.
