How The Sikh Youth Is Being Brainwashed - A #Thread on Information War:
I will point out the insurgencies often propagated and funded by foreign sources. They play heavily on religious division and false narratives, that all culminate to anti-India and anti-Hindu propaganda.
All are covered in local Punjabi news papers but they hardly become a big headline elsewhere in the mainstream Indian media. What will this negligence cost to India? How does the Punjabi Sikh youth get affected?
Social media, such as WhatsApp groups, YouTube channels etc. and paid advertisements, digital marketing tactics, play store -you name it- are used to spread propaganda material. For example, Dr. AmarjitSingh’s youtube channel

Recently someone asked me what I think will make Nigeria better, and I replied “Democracy”.
The guy was suggesting our ministers be taken on a tour to grave sites of executed corrupt officials, on the day of their orientation, to scare them. 🤣🤣
Thats not Democracy. #Thread
Democracy is when the people choose their leaders, when they can feel the power to hire and fire their leaders; not when leaders pick themselves.
Democracy produces responsible leaders.
This is why it is important to use any opportunity given to strengthen our democracy.
Jonathan understood this, and signed the electoral act that saw him out of office, because he saw a bigger picture.
If Buhari had signed the new electoral act into law, his loss would’ve been too clear to rig.
But he would’ve been remembered for strengthening Democracy.

#Thread #Kurukshetra #Analytics #Mahabharata
Started a fun project of mine today. Recording the duels of Kurukshetra war in an excel sheet in anticipation of some interesting pattern. Watch this space for interesting tidbits. Full exercise may take quite a while
Interesting Results! #Kurukshatra #Analytics. So many duels without a declared result on Day One
Could record two general battles and 26 duels on Day One. Only 6 of those duels ended decisively. Pandava side suffered horribly in the hands of Bhishma. Uttara killed in the hands of Shalya. Saving grace being Abhimanyu countering Bhishma and winning over Brihadbala #Kurukshetra
