1. Absolutely scintillating judgement delivered by d Madurai Bench of the Madras HC on 22/9/2020 in a petition filed by Shri @trramesh, President of d @indiccollective, challenging a tender notification issued by d Executive Officer of d Palani Temple. Sharing a few screenshots.
2. Read
3. The Court has recognised that the EO overstayed his welcome without justification.
4. "The tender notification has been issued by an official who is
standing on this ice. Its tenuous nature has already been set out."
5. "Referring to certain disturbing
developments in the State of Andhra Pradesh, today's editorial in the New Indian Express says thus: “...Reconstituting temple trust boards with
eminent Hindus and men of impeccable character would
be a good start..."
6. "Leaving the temples in the care of the
bureaucracy and politicians hasn't helped...”
These words are equally relevant to the State of Tamil Nadu." These are observations of the High Court. Absolutely scintillating work by Shri @trramesh! Made my day!
7. So not only has the High Court struck down the tender notification issued by the Executive Officer, the very appointment/continuance of the EO/Fit Person to the Palani Temple has been struck down. Kudos to Shri @trramesh!

1. Watch #Dhurandhar on the big screen.I watched it today & came away thoroughly impressed at the finesse & execution of @AdityaDharFilms. With a brilliant cast where none is dispensable,a tightly written script & a scintillating background score, 214 minutes isnt long enough.
2. Highlights of the content- The candid depiction of the geopolitical challenges Bharat is faced with,the civilizational conflict at the heart of it,the fifth columnists within Bharat who aid the enemy, and the difficult terrain that patriots have to navigate to protect Bharat.
3. The cast- @ActorMadhavan, Akshaye Khanna, @bolbedibol, @RanveerOfficial, @duttsanjay, @rampalarjun are obviously the standouts. Of these,Akshaye Khanna, @RanveerOfficial & @bolbedibol are absolutely brilliant. However, Akshaye Khanna dominates every scene he is in & how!
1. Trust the Pakistanis to make a pigsty even out of the @OxfordUnion. And as always, they are genetically incapable of being truthful. So here's the complete story of how this so-called debate played out.
2. The President of the @OxfordUnion is Moosa Harraj. Subject to correction, I am informed that he is the son of Muhammad Raza Hayat Hiraj, the Minister of Defense Production for Pakistan. The Treasurer of the @OxfordUnion is Raza Nazar, also a Pakistani. So you get the picture.
@OxfordUnion 3. On July 7, 2025, I received an invitation from the @OxfordUnion on behalf of Moosa Harraj to take part in a debate on the topic "The House Believes That India’s Response to Pakistan is a Populist Strategy Sold as Security Policy".
1. In the first half of last year, I had the occasion to visit the Bay Area for the Stanford SIPEC event in March and the Tiecon event in May. After both events, in each of the public engagements and private interactions I said exactly the same thing. But to no avail.
2. What i got to hear from the Bay Area elites went something like this- "We run the American tech and fin sectors.We are loved.We are in no danger".In stark contrast,people working on the ground risking their lives and jobs had a different view. They could see trouble brewing.
3. The middle layer, comprised of the work-a-day individuals who keep to themselves largely and celebrate their culture quietly, were keen to listen and understand the way forward despite the genuine limitations they operate within. Net result- lack of coherence and cohesion.
1.Unfortunate engagement farming by @barandbench.As a Senior Advocate,even if the briefing counsel or translator makes an error,it is my duty to tender an apology on their behalf without pointing fingers in Court.After all,a Senior Advocate doesn't file or translate documents.
2. If @barandbench wanted to present the complete picture,it should have reported that this was a murder case in which bail had been granted to one of the accused by the Uttarakhand High Court. I appeared for the brother of the dead boy in the SC challenging the grant of bail.
@barandbench 3. Importantly,despite the initial minor hiccup with respect to a few typos in the translated documents, the Supreme Court issued notice in the Petition to the Investigating Officer and has directed his presence on the next date of hearing. In other words,the hearing went well.
1. This is an appreciation thread for @rahulroushan and @UnSubtleDesi for launching @hinduphobia_tr,a much-needed documentation portal that catalogues atrocities against Hindus in as rigorous a manner as possible,something that only @UnSubtleDesi could have put together.
2.I have known Nupur for close to 9 years now.She's one of my dearest friends whose passion to work for the cause of Dharma is brilliantly complemented by her ability to commit herself to solid work. Not many are aware of the price she has personally paid for her Dharmic work.
3. She was forced to leave Mamata's Bengal after the 2021 post-poll violence & her best work,according to me,has come *after* that traumatic experience.The brilliant reportage of the Delhi Riots case, preparation of the dossier on Wikipedia, & now the launch of @hinduphobia_tr
1. In this thread,I will share whatever mails/messages I have received from #BangladeshiHindus without revealing their identities. Pls consider sharing this thread widely so that the world knows the terror they live in & how "healing" isn't remotely in their foreseeable future.
