[Secularism]
Backlash is because for our woke media, secularism and 'bhai-chara' means only Hindu girl, Muslim boy. If if time & plot permits, girl's Hindu family will be shown objecting to the marriage. How many ads have been there which show the reverse? Where's the balance?
Any brand which thinks on this line is doomed to become extinct sooner than later. One hopes that people responsible for #tanishq#TanishqJewelry are sensible to not heed such idiotic advise.
Remember this incident? When the champion of minorities, Shehla Rashid, herself received hate speech from her co-religionist because she wrote on her FB page that Muslim women should've freedom to marry a person from other religion if she chooses to do so?images.thequint.com/thequint%2F201…
- Hindus objecting to a deliberate hurt to their feelings through legal means is same as a bunch of Muslims (trained & supported by many more) massacring 100s of Hindus in name of their Prophet & Islam!
- This is how you normalise violence against Hindus.
- NONE of the Indian companies had supplied explosives!
- This charlie can't even read & comprehend the report he's linked as proof
- Indian companies supplied Detonators, Detonating Cord & Safety fuses to LEGITIMATE companies in Turkey & ME
- They did not supply ANYTHING to ISIS
7 Indian companies have been mentioned along with their material - 1. Gulf Oil Corporation (Detonating Cord) 2. Solar Industries (Detonating Cord) 3. Premier Explosives (Detonating Cord & Detonators) 4. Rajasthan Explosives and Chemicals (Detonating Cord & Detonators)
+
+ 4. Chamundi Explosives (Safety Fuse) 5. Economic Explosives (Detonators) 6. IDEAL Industrial Explosives (Detonators)
- Report clearly says that detonators, detonator cord and safety fuses are of commercial variety used both in mining and industrial sectors

Now wait for a flurry of articles on how courts have been compromised, democracy is being throttled, minorities are oppressed....leading the charge will be Wire, then Scroll and their foreign cousins WaPo & NYT. And more Faiz and Rahat Indori quotes. #ShaheenBagh
- On a serious note, #ShaheenBagh was the 'democratic' version of chakka-jam which Sharjeel Imam was advocating, especially in strategically sensitive zones like Siliguri corridor.
- #ShaheenBagh was a pretty clever and well thought out strategy.
- With women and children as +
+ supposedly the face of this 'protest', any government action to forcibly evict them would've been a massive PR disaster.
- But on the other hand, if you allowed it to be replicated across the country, you'll have serious undermining of state & central authority.

[When I drove an Arjun tank]
- One of the benefits of growing-up in Services environment is that you get to see the equipment up and close.
- It so happened that in early to mid-90s, my father was posted to Mamun Cantt, on eastern periphery of Pathankot.
- Now, Mamun Cantt is +
+ 'tank town'. It has a huge presence of armor or tanks.
- There are two Independent Armored Brigades here (written as (I) Armd Bde) amounting to six armored regiments or ~300 tanks!!!
- We would regularly see tanks going from Point A to Point B within the cantt.
- Sometimes on +
+ trailers (like in image below), sometimes on their own power.
- A friend and I almost had the distinction of head-on collision with a tank and almost getting crushed by it when it suddenly appeared in front of us.
- But that's a separate story.

- This is what this white-man does not get. But I'm sure local Amnesty chaps do.
- Amnesty has been questioned basis law of the land. Not someone's whims & fancies.
- It can go to court. But they've done financial hanky-panky and best of luck explaining away that in the court.
Read the press release by MHA on the case. Imp points-
- Amnesty UK sent money to India disguised as FDI!
- They also violated FCRA regulations
- This whole exercise was malafide
- They've tried to indulge in domestic political debates.
Enough said! pib.gov.in/PressReleaseIf…
- Many shady org like Amnesty have been operating in India w/o proper approvals for decades.
- Because they weren't questioned before, many in civil society believe that everything was over the board.
- And now that they're being questioned, it is being portrayed as a witch-hunt
Bhagat Singh's political outlook was fashioned by realities of that period. Had he been alive, he would've opposed Gandhi & Nehru agreeing to partition, Nehru's screw-up in Kashmir & China, and would've definitely kicked communist leadership for supporting China against India.
It is sacrilege to even think that a person who smilingly went to his death for his motherland would stand next to today's communists like Sitaram Yechury or Kanahiya Kumar or Congress shit-heads or current breed of left-loony liberal brigade.
Here is a brilliant thread by @sanjeevsanyal on Bhagat Singh, Communism and communists.
@FrankBullit67 Bit of a long read but bear with me - 1. Using various XYZ agreements with us, Chinese have managed to get away with minimal troop commitment on India-Tibet border. 2. Simple comparison - Between Eastern Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh, India has deployment of 12+ divisions worth +
@FrankBullit67 + of troops. 3. Some are forward deployed while others are in rear but at a short-distance from the forward sector. 4. What is the Chinese deployment? Well, along the same border, not more than two divisions worth of troops, and this includes Border Defense Regiments, a rough+
@FrankBullit67 + equivalent of our ITBP but more militarized. 5. Why does China feel confident of getting away with such minimal deployment? 6. Because it knows India will never fire the first shot in anger. Any hostilities will be started by the Chinese. 7. But in spite of such minimal +
