Power of this Jamaat is so widespread that it’s almost impossible for reasonable Muslims without either being sucked into its medieval ways or become ostracised. No Muslim politician will dare take on the Tablighis

The powerful influence of Wahabism on Indians working in the Gulf,construction of hundreds of mosques in India funded by Saudi money and the preaching of their clerics in India has, over the last three decades, enormously strengthened their vice-like grip on the Muslim mind
2/4
So much so that the women’s wing of TJ has been singularly responsible in persuading almost every Muslim woman and girl to wear burkha in public, a practice unknown in most parts of India a few decades ago. As they set apart their identity guided by by their Mullahs
3/4
The politics of vote banks forced the Congress government,right from Rajiv Gandhi’s government,to appease the clerics rather than focus on the developmental and participatory needs of the Muslim community and make them a part of India’s growth story and its vibrant democracy

The tendency for China under Xi has been to open up its cards pretty early. It dumped hide & bide & got confrontational with the US & countries in I-P incl India.Opened up early with Wuhandemic raging to show its geopolitical play. No amount of PR will help. In fact,it worsens it
So for all the long term thinking that China gets credit for, Xi gets quite rattled just for image. All Trump had to do was call it ChinaVirus & Xi lost it. His man Lijian opened up. Chinese embassy in India issued a statement against Indians using China/Wuhan virus
Earlier on, the image problem led to them to warning countries to no impose travel restrictions. It didnt allow India permission to evac its people before finally relenting. And it didnt acknowledge India's token relief supply.

If you think ki mein haath dho ke China ke peechhe pad gaya hoon, well yes, its quite literally haath dho ke. And it has to be done because China is on a propaganda overdrive & narrative building for its image & promote the very authoritarian system that has caused #Wuhandemic
The reason we have to do it is because China is relentless in its propaganda. There are already people who have fallen for its by terming China virus or Wuhan virus as racist. There are also people who praise China's handling of the Wuhandemic. We cannot let China succeed.
Compare the statement of our EAM with what the Chinese Amb said on the telecon with Wang Yi. One tweet by EAM, there were 3 by Chinese Amb & it shows that China is more worried about its image & uses every opportunity for propaganda

China’s strategic goal is to stabilize relations with India to avoid a two-front war with the US & India.The Indo-Pacific Strategy has sent China into a frenzy of damage control in order to prevent the emergence of an India-U.S. alliance.
Excerpts 1/7

2/ China’s elevation of relations with India reveals an inconvenient truth:exogenous factors primarily drive China’s rapprochement.Had US not adopted Indo-Pacific Strategy & pursued alignment with India,the trajectory of China’s policy toward India would’ve looked very different
3/ China might have concluded that improved ties with India were in its interests, but the decision to reach out to New Delhi occurred when it did because Beijing saw the United States swaying India’s preference.
