Today when we read WW II, people often question, why didn’t anyone do anything when they saw #Hitler do what he was doing ? What exactly is anyone doing to #China today ? They are building concentration camps and herding #Uighur Muslims into them. They are claiming territories.. ImageImageImage
..of neighbours. They are using scare tactics to subjugate smaller nations. They are on massive industrialisation spree. They have a huge army and keep building more arms and armaments. If this is not a repeat of 1930s North Europe, what is it ? Thankfully, this time there..
..is INDIA to take this beast down. It’s not only a personal fight but our responsibility to keep this expansionist and dictatorial regime in check. I fully support my government and Armed forces on every action they take against China today. Let’s get things in order! Jai Hind.

Why we can’t stop playing cricket with Pakistan, even though it continues to sponsor terrorism within India and their players have vicious anti India and anti Hindu sentiments.

Thread 🧵

1. Money - Of course. A single India Pakistan match, at any platform generates
billions ( In Indian and Pakistani currencies ) in a ticket sales, Ad revenues, broadcasting rights, promotions, sponsorships and biggest of all, BETTING.

Why wouldn’t any agency want that ? And it’s on shoulders of such cricketing that BCCI is enormously rich. Do read
privileges and benefits that BCCI employees enjoy. So they need to afford it. Sentiments aside, it’s the cash cow no one wants to do away with.

2. Historic Rivalry - Given the turbulent and violent history two nations share, Cricket ground becomes a battle ground of

Since this has surfaced again, it needs to be clarified for once and all. #Thread

India Gate originally called All India war memorial was designed by Edwin Lutyens and its foundation was laid by Duke of Connaught in Feb 1921. It was finally inaugurated in 1931 by Lord Irwin.
The Gate doesn’t bear 95-96000, names, but 13,516 names ( ) No distinction is made on basis of caste, religion or rank. Some rough available breakdown is :
( )

- 12,260 Indian soldiers
- 959 British soldiers
- 1 Australian soldierdmnewdelhi.delhi.gov.in/tourist-place/…

Now as per Quoted tweet, this is being presented as some certificate of patriotism.
However, it’s total opposite of that.
There are NO freedom fighters mentioned on India Gate, but only soldiers who died for British Army predominantly in Afghan Wars and some in WW1.

Dear @RichaChadha ji,

I cannot explain in words the hurt I felt seeing your tweet. It’s not everyday that you come across such loathsome words from a fellow citizen. It’s not about me being a Fauji. It’s not even about you not being one. It’s the sheer audacity and shamelessness
with which you’ve trivialised the sacrifices of those who lost their lives and limbs at #GalwanValley.

In your movies, and this goes out to other members of Bollywood too - you all are very keen to play roles of Armed force personnel. Then your characters become pinnacle
of honesty, bravery and values. Some of them die also in the movie, creating an aura of gloom and despair, nudging the viewers to search their souls and grasp the gist of that scene and movie, which is supposed perfect portrayal of a soldier dying in action and a brilliant

Bollywood imagines itself to have matured by showing clichéd lifestyle of substance abuse n promiscuity.
Real maturity is movies like #KashmirFiles that show the horrors of our history. That force you to think! @vivekagnihotri @AnupamPKher
The reality that we ought to know but
has been suppressed long enough for vested interests.
Lot of genocides have been ignored and not acknowledged; but by other nations. Cambodia, Armenia etc. There isn’t a single example except India where an entire country has been kept in dark about such brutality against
it’s own citizens.
Hollywood has made pretty honest and gut wrenching movies to depict Nazi’s reign of terror on Jews. Nobody ever protested. Because that’s what mature cinema does. It has the capability of telling a story in a comprehensible and relatable manner that can touch

Drill and Marching Columns

Since the marching contingents have become such a hot topic these days, and in coming days we will see a lot of them in parades, I thought I’ll take a stab at sharing with everyone what exactly goes into making these marching columns and bands.
Drill is actually one of the first things you’re taught when you join the academy. In case of Jawans, in their respective regimental / corps Centers.

A layman, oversimplified version of drill is doing something repetitively, enhancing and honing muscle memory for that and each
action a near perfect copy of previous one. “left, right, left…” You get the drift !

But to achieve this requires thousands and thousands of hours of practice, physical labour, mental attentiveness and tenacity.

It starts with having the right posture. Just standing straight

There was Clubhouse room Akashi where you were moderating for Saket, few months back. Since the topic was ‘Haryana Politics’ so I joined and saw lies were being peddled with hurrahs from the supporters. When I told Saket point blank that he’s lying, you muted me moved me to
audience. Then you, along with Saket and couple of other guys made made considerable fun of veterans, Hindus and as expected, BJP. I remember how you and a fellow speaker offered ‘Two Rupees’ to me because that day in morning I had tweeted ‘Jai Sri Raam’ as it was some auspicious
day. I could’ve left, but I stayed on to listen to the degenerated level that people like you have fallen to just because they think they are with some ‘crusader’. Your Hero was lying before that day, he was lying that day and he’s lying now. You knew, but you chose to ignore, as
