Naib Subedar Mandeep Singh

Survived by mother, wife, three sisters, 15 year old daughter and 12 year old son. 1/n

Naib Subedar Mandeep Singh had been trapped in his village during the entire lockdown and had just returned back to join his unit.

His children joined the Army School at Patiala hoping to emulate their father.

He was the only earning member of the family and had joined the forces principally to ensure a better life for himself and his family.

He was to be posted in Bathinda the following month. 3/n

#GalwanValley #martyrs
Just three days before the Galwan Valley clash, he had called his family and had spoken to his wife.

But just when he was about to say something, there was poor connectivity in the network.

Naib Subedar Mandeep Singh's last words to his wife are lost forever to eternity.

4/n
P.S: I will post one condolence message every day for each of the 20 martyrs. I am not going to group them together in tribute and remembrance as they have been grouped together in death.

Have you guys read this piece of shit article by Tavleen Singh?

She begins with how India is in danger not from Hindutva Fascists but from "jihadists".
She implies that Hindu extremists are better than Muslim extremists because a Muslim extremist once chopped off the hand of a teacher in Kerala.

Of course Ms. Singh doesn't once mention the hundreds of Muslims who have been lynched for dietary choices or for just existing.
No Pehlu Khan or Akhlaq or little Asifa who was raped and killed because of her religion is mentioned once.

No Najeeb who disappeared into thin air is remembered.

No Gauri Lankesh who was executed on her doorstep by Hindu fanatics is talked about.

Yesterday I was disgusted to find a woke dalit handle go #BrahminicalPatriarchy over that a$$hole MP cop beating his wife and rightfully being hit back.

Now you might think why was a bemused?

Does #BrahminicalPatriarchy not exist?

Oh if only!
It's because it does and is way effing more retarded than domestic violence.

Ramu, Sandeep, Ravi and Luv Kush raping the dalit girl from Hathras and paralysing her and inflicting unspeakable wounds on her is #BrahminicalPatriarchy
A girl goes to gather fodder for her herd of animals and she is raped to death.
Yes, she died this morning.
It's not effing casual. It's dark, psychotic, disgusting, as bad if not worse than racism. So kindly don't use that term for every crime against woman.

Please don't forget:

Demonetization broke the backbone of small and medium businesses, of farmers, of daily wage earners.

Yet most of them went ahead and voted for Modi in 2019

For once let us forget lynching of minorities, murder of activists and purchase of MLAs.
But demonetization hurt them at a personal level.

Yet they voted for Modi.

During dark days I used to think that Indians voted Modi "to show Muslims their place".
I don't think that was ever the reason.
The reason is Godi media and it's propaganda.
Kindly go to your digital tv app

Check the tariff for propaganda television.

Republic is free!

AajTak is a few paise

When propaganda is packaged as news cum entertainment, people will consume it.

First thing required is a hold over media.

Everything else will fall in place.

I think Congress supporters should refrain from supporting any other political party unless an official coalition is formed.

Be it Mamta Banerjee or Pinarayi Vijayan.

Concentrate on your own party

Write about the wonderful work being done in Chattisgarh.
Write about the dedication of your chief ministers from Captain Amarinder Singh to Ashok Ghelot.

Write supportive posts about coalition CMs like Uddhav Thackeray and Hemant Soren.

But keep equal opportunity leaders like Ms. Banerjee or Kejriwal at arm's length.
While Kejriwal stands exposed after Delhi riots, the next to fall in line will be Mamta.

Mark my words.

Maybe Congress' chance of winning Bengal looks slim only due to optics.

Because the way it is shown in media, it's as if the top contenders are TMC and BJP in West Bengal.

India has 545 elected representatives in the Lok Sabha.
I think it would be interesting to see what they have been saying for the last 15 months since elections last May.
To that effect I will be dedicating one tweet to each MP of India's Lower House in the ensuing thread. 1/n
“BSNL has a system filled with traitors. In the coming days we will be removing all 88,000 employees."
BJP MP Anantkumar Hegde
