In a way it’s good that #Azerbaijan has called #Pakistan to come and fight with them against #Armenia. It’ll help expose Pakistan’s hypocrisy to the world and even to its so called partners on how these guys won’t even fire an air-gun without asking for money. #MercenaryNation
The Gov of Armenia will declare General Mobilisation and Martial law soon. All troops called back to units.
It’s officially on. #Azerbaijan has declared war on #Armenia. Let’s hope the world gets together to diffuse this rather than jump in to escalate the issue. The region is like a keg of gunpowder now. Won’t take much to explode beyond control. #IndiaStandsWithArmenia
Btw, it’s only Pakistan and Turkey that have supported Azerbaijan’s attack on Armenia and voiced their allegiance to the Azerbaijan cause. Russia, France, Germany etc have asked for the tensions to be de-escalated and peace be restored. Early this month Pak and Azerbaijanis had..
a conference on increased military cooperation. Goes without saying, under the blessing of Turkey. Hence Pakistan will always be a dutiful chorus to any song turkey sings as lead singer. I really hope Pak is put to test and asked to deploy. If it doesn’t, it’ll ruin its..
new found alliance. If it does, it’ll face wrath of every international community and almost all countries. Well, that’s what happens when you are terror factory and happy to do the bidding for anyone who throws a dollar. Turkey will take Pak down. Mark my words here !
#Cyprus declares its support for Armenia. Rightly so since it’s been in conflict with Turkey for drilling rights in international waters which were under Cyprus-Greece-Egypt rights. And of course Cyprus and Turkey have troubled relationship from 70s due to Turk military actions.
Nagorno-Karbakh security council holding meeting at the moment. They confirm that #Azerbaijani army is advancing on positions near Talish and in the south of NK (as reported before probably near Karakhanbeyly.) Also confirm #Turkish involvement.

Waiting for #Armenia to invoke clauses of CTSO anytime now. Not that Turkey wouldn’t have assumed it. But I guess Azerbaijanis are trying to capture land and then get into negotiations and then hold on to it. Nobody would want #Russia to enter the scene militarily.
#Azerbaijan was planning to just roll over it’s Armour and Mech forces into #Armenia; which apparently didn’t work out well for them. Even from yesterday’s videos, it looks like they were told - Go ahead, no one will attack you. And then, this rampage !
That’s from a Verified account btw. Worth noting that Its being slowly confirmed that Pakistanis are fighting in #Azerbaijan. Wow!! And two days back their PM was giving lectures on world peace at UNGA. When are they planning to sort their own house ?
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.

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 :
( )
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.
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
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
