The state of Freedom of Speech and Expression under Jawahar Lal Nehru, supposedly the lord and protector of liberty and freedom of speech and expression. (via @TimesNow)
Fundamental rights & individual liberties are RELICS of the past. Courts are UNDERCUTTING intent of the Constitution by giving primacy to fundamental rights. - Nehru.

Riveting review by @TheJaggi, of what promises to be a riveting book by @tripurdaman. swarajyamag.com/books/how-nehr…
"President Rajendra Prasad to Nehru: Do NOT amend the Constitution - ours is a provisional parliament and besides your amendment assaults the Fundamental Rights and FoS.

Nehru: I am going ahead. Do NOT disclose your disagreement with me to anyone": @tripurdaman at @arth_live

The economy of ancient India was run through temples; they were the banks; they provided the venture capital - the reason why the most important ones were by the shore or in port cities; the ease of doing business was in their hands, says @sanjeevsanyal at @arth_live.
Savarkar was made into a persona non grata; legends like Mangeshkar were vilified for singing his poems. This nation needs to know, that we got freedom principally because of Naval mutiny and not because we marched to make a handful of salt, thunders @vikramsampath at @arth_live.
The Leftist media organisations garner corporate funding easily because the scared capitalists want to stay in the former's good books and away from criticism. The capitalists don't bother about RW media because they feel our views anyway match, says @TheJaggi at @arth_live.

This piece on Twitter's plan was just brought to my attention by @tweetingsourav. Whether platforms should possess editorial controls is a separate matter; this thread is on how BADLY @Twitter can get it wrong, esp when they don't follow up.

THREAD. 1/n
2/n Funny to be in @BernieSanders' company but on a serious note the rank ignorance of @twitter is APPALLING. What I tweeted was an ms submitted to a reputed science pre-print site BioRxiV. I quoted the findings of the scientists & gave the link. How was I "Harmfully Misleading"?
3/n In fact, soon after I posted my tweet I also posted these tweets that @twitter IGNORES.

Aware that even though I'd tweeted a preprint from a reputed science site, I wanted a second opinion on whether in a fast-moving field, one should post preprints. How is that wrong?

Pointed questions to Mr Owaisi, on his own Majoritarianism and religious bigotry, that went unanswered. #TimesNowSummit
The duplicitous Mr Owaisi never batted an eyelid when for seventy years the Indian State acted Majoritarian and denied through Article 370 basic human rights to lacs of Kashmiri Dalits. Then he chose Jai Meem. Now he cries Jai Bheem. #TimesNowSummit
Mr Waris Pathan is the Jinnah who doesn’t eat bacon.

My views on @TimesNow with @RShivshankar. #OwaisiKaWaris

Venezuela has emerged from the US attacks on its electrical system.
By @MaxBlumenthal
Terrible news for Little @marcorubio @AmbJohnBolton & Guadio’s gang, but great news for the people of Caracas:

The city’s free Metro system is coming back on line as Venezuela recovers from its curiously timed electricity outages.

Lord Jeremy Heywood has passed away this morning. @theresa_may:
On @SophyRidgeSky’s show just now, @YvetteCooperMP was given the news of Lord Heywood’s death on air. She responded with a wonderfully touching tribute.
FYI: Sir Jeremy Heywood became Lord Haywood of Whitehall on 26th October.

#Nehru ditched Tibet (like Bhutan was buffer state between🇮🇳& China

We lost to the Chinese despite a valiant fight put up by our soldiers,
what was Nehru doing to retaliate/ push back invading Chinese hordes?
Why did🇮🇳end up becoming a joke that’s compared with 3rd rate🇵🇰
SardarPatel warned #Nehru that China was in a vulnerable position,committed in Korea & not secure in its hold over mainland.

🇮🇳would’ve acquired status of great power
🇵🇰would’ve disappeared from radar of🌎attention
had Patel’s letter & international opinion not been ignored!
“Chinese communists are likely to invade Tibet”.
#Nehru September 1949

Yet, he sacrificed India’s national security interests in Tibet;
to not weaken China’s case in the UN!

“Lack of confirmation of the presence of Chinese troops in Tibet” Panikkar, 🇮🇳Ambassador to China
