#Prashant_Bhushan_Gandhi_and_Mandela_Effect

#ShivamVij, the "Intellectual Left Liberal" journalist wrote this hilariously ironical piece on Prashant Bhushan. He compared Bhushan to #Gandhi and #Mandela.
#1ofN Image
"Prashant Bhushan's refusal to apologize puts him in the same league as Gandhi and Mandela" he wrote after Bhushan claimed he won't apologize to the Supreme Court in the Contempt of Court case against him.
#2ofN
Well, being "Left Liberal" @DilliDurAst has all the "freedom of expression" to eulogize people from his fellow Leftist Ecosystem. But since the comparison is with Gandhi and Mandela, it requires a little bit of scratching.
#3ofN
Ever since Modi has come to power #PrashantBhushan has behaved more like #RahulGandhi than M K Gandhi. In fact, he has been more vehement in criticism of everything Modi compared to Rahul. Hence the comparison to Gandhi suits.
#4ofN
Only the first name happens to be Rahul and not Mohandas.

#MandelaEffect: The whole article by Shivam Vij is a classic example of Mandela Effect. Perhaps that is why the reference to Mandela falls in place. Mandela Effect in psychiatric field is "False Memory Syndrome".
#5ofN
It involves incorporation of misinformation and source misattribution and several other mechanisms leading to false memory phenomena.

In 2010, self-appointed "Paranormal Consultant" Fiona Broome explained her false memory of...
#6ofN
...the death of South African leader Nelson Mandela in the 1980s, though he actually died three decades later in December 2013. This "False Memory Phenomenon" subsequently has been named "Mandela Effect".
#7ofN
Many people seeing the "Robber Emoji" in Apple emoji store and people seeing the cartoon character "Curious George with tail" are some of the well discussed cases of "Mandela Effect". There never was a Robber emoji in Apple emoji store and Curious George never had a tail.
#8ofN
But number of people believed to the contrary.

People were remembering things that were never there and then arguing about the existence of such things. Shivam Vij saw Robber and Rahul in reality but chose to remember Mandela and Gandhi.
#9ofN
Classic case of incorporation of misinformation and source misattribution. Nothing more, nothing less.

Shivam Vij doesn't deserve our scorn or hate. He requires help, psychiatric help.
#10ofN
He will be well warned to stay away from the Psychotherapist #SusanWalker, who claims to have treated #SSR. She can't keep patient information and Shivam Vij might end up describing her as #MotherTheresa. He might also believe she's dead and Canonized.

Justice MoonCho and Gaay Pride

Banda: Your Honor, this cattle seller Chanda has cheated me. I wanted to buy two cows and paid him ₹ 1 Lakh for two cows. But he as sold me two bullocks. This is utter cheating...

Justice MoonCho: Why did you cheat him ? Image
Chanda: I have not cheated Your Honor. I sold him a pair of cattle for ₹ 1 Lakh.

Justice MoonCho: What nonsense ? I can clearly see two bullocks there in the image produced as evidence.
Chanda: Your Honor, I would humbly like to remind you that there is nothing like absolute male or absolute female. Gender is not about genitals alone. It goes beyond the physical gender at birth.

#Aurangzeb's Father
A True Story buried by our Historians
THREAD: 1
Shah Jahan married a beautiful 19 year old Arjumand Banu Begam as his second wife in 1612. They were engaged when she was just 13 as insisted by Noor Jehan, the consort of Jahangir..
2:
She was given the title Mumtaz Mahal by Shah Jahan after their marriage.

Shah Jahan was voracious in love and presented Mumtaz with five children in five years. Hur-ul-Nisa Begum, Jahanara Begum, Dara Shikoh, Shah Shuja and Roshanara Begum.
3:
A strange quirk of fate at this stage changed the destiny of India. Shah Jahan had suddenly lost interest in Mumtaz and stopped visiting her Jenana after Roshanara was born. Mumtaz was heartbroken. One of the eunuchs in the Jenana was a Dalit called Mahamada.

#Vaccination_Deaths

With PM @narendramodi soon launching #BJPsVaccine" for #COVID19, we'll have to get used to "Vaccination Deaths" like those infamous #Demonetization_Deaths". Here is an attempt to compile a list of potential news reports during the vaccination drive.
(1/N)
1. 71 year old man collapses and dies, standing in serpentine queue during #Modi's ambitious vaccination.

2. 32year old Kerala youth dies 7 hours after vaccine. His bike was run over by a truck. His friends claimed, "He never had such accidents before taking the vaccine."
(2/N)
3. One more vaccine death. 36 year old Doctor, who had received first dose of COVID vaccine just 8 days ago, was beaten to death by bystanders of a patient who died in the ICU due to heart attack.

@RahulGandhi: India Needs You !

#Nehru: His great grandpa chanted #HindiChiniBhaiBhai and lost miles and miles of Indian land to China. He claimed, "Not a blade of grass grows there." He lost Pakistan Occupied Kashmir to Pakistan and turned Kashmir into hell on earth.
(1/N)
#IndiraGandhi: His grandmother was planted as PM of India by USSR by eliminating Lal Bahadur Shastri. It was KGB that lorded over India during all those years of the Iron Lady's rule. Emergency was clamped USSR backing and Indira did not utter one word against interference.
(2/N)
She kept blaming the "Foreign Hand" of America but was the de facto foreign "Hand" of USSR in India.

#RajivGandhi: Wasn't even able to stand up to the bullying of #AIMPLB. He was such a miserable failure that he sacrificed the interests of Indian Army...

#DeepikaPadukone: #No_Hasty_Actions_Please

Warning: #Hash_tags in this article are purely coincidental and aren't meant to be taken seriously. Do not Google their meanings. You will end up on same page.
(1/N)
While the whole Hindu Right Wing is baying for Deepika Padukone's blood, I have a different take. I cannot shun this responsibility to post my thoughts about Deepika. I advocate no #Hash_Tea actions against her. Let me elaborate.
(2/N)
We should never forget Deepika is a woman of #substance. She is made of sterner #stuff. She's managed to create her own identity away from her father's shadow and done her best to #weed out nepotism in cinema field.
