So, binge-watching #IndianMatchmaking, and I want to share a piece of advice I got from my dad when I was 15.
"In the long run, it doesn't really matter; eventually, all donkeys look like each other. Just dont waste time thinking about donkeys."
And is everyone's hair so dry in #IndianMatchmaking ?
Ok so face reading is a thing? #IndianMatchmaking
Shoba, please dump Manoj's ass ! #IndianMatchmaking

Hindutva, Vivek Ramaswamy, and the Hypocrisy of Right-Wing Indian Americans on Racism

1/ Indian American right-wingers like Vivek Ramaswamy often align themselves with conservative U.S. politics, echoing anti-immigrant rhetoric while pushing for policies that mirror Hindutva ideologies in India. But their relationship with anti-Indian racism in the U.S. is rife with both complicity and contradictions. 🧵
2/ Hindutva, a right-wing Hindu nationalist ideology, has made inroads in the U.S. through diaspora groups like the Hindu American Foundation (HAF) and the Overseas Friends of the BJP (OFBJP). These groups sanitize Hindu nationalism and caste under the guise of cultural practice and pride.
3/ At the same time, Indian Americans like Ramaswamy cozy up to conservative movements that openly espouse anti-immigrant and racist views. They often adopt these talking points distancing themselves from other immigrant groups, seeking proximity to whiteness.

Finally sat down to read India’s recent telecommunication Bill— this law ushers in an era of absolute authoritarian control of Internet in India, a kind of licence regime to the internet. It's broad and applies to all social media applications from WhatsApp to X to Instagram.
commentary and framing about this law uses “decolonial language”— it replaces colonial-era laws that gave the British absolute control over communications and surveillance of its colonial subjects.
What is interesting is that these laws today, promulgated by the Modi government, have far more control over an Indian citizen than the British had over its colonial subjects.

New thread alert #Uttrakhand #hatespeechIn an interview yesterday, Darshan Bharati (actual name Devendra Pawar), one of the 5 people inciting violence across #Uttrakhand, said that he does not believe in the Constitution. When asked, don't you think your speeches incite people? Image
"I don't believe in the Constitution", "I wish people actually got incited by my words, then so many Muslims would have had their hands and legs chopped off" - Uttarakhand extremist Darshan Bharati, in an interview on Sept 24 facebook.com/vijayrawat84/v…
Bharati's organisation, Devbhoomi Raksha Abhiyaan, was on the posters calling for Muslims to not return after dozens of families fled in June 2023. While he denied putting up posters, he pressured families in the area not to rent Muslim homes or shops.hindustantimes.com/india-news/pos…

In 9 States during Ram Navami & Hanuman Jayanti celebrations in April'22, there was widespread violence. During these processions, in 3 States: Gujarat, Jharkhand, & MP, at least 100 persons from the minority community were injured, and two were killed.
scribd.com/document/63361…
"In April 2022, India witnessed violence breaking out in as many as nine states, along with incidents of provocation and low-grade violence in three others. "
"In all of them, the catalyst for the violence was the same: religious processions celebrating the Hindu festivals of RamNavami and Hanuman Jayanti, followed by targeted attacks on Muslim-owned properties, businesses, and places of worship."

"Keep weapons (knives) at home. Keep them sharp. If veggies can be cut well, so can the enemy's head," BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur follows the now-established patterns of calling for violence against Muslims in India. This is not the first time she has publicly invited violence. Image
Pragya was involved in the 2008 Malegaon bombings where 6 people were killed and 101 injured. She was arrested on terror charges under UAPA and currently under trial. She has been out on medical bail since 2017 after NIA dropped some of the charges against her.
