A #Thread of #lovejihaad cases in the last year. Providing links so that some blabbering secular mor0n doesn’t accuse me of peddling ‘fake news’. These cases are from different parts of India. Have only one thing in common, the victim is a Hindu woman, the kiIIer is a Muslim man!
On 26th October 2020, 21 year old Nikita Tomar was shot dead at a point blank range by Taufeeq outside her college in Faridabad in broad daylight. Nikeeta had lodged a complaint of molestation and stalking against Taufeeq a few weeks ago.

In July 2019, aspiring model Khushi Parihar was kiIIed in Nagpur by her boyfriend Ashraf Shaikh by smashing her head and face with a brick because he did not ‘like her friendship’ with other men.

But #LoveJihad doesn’t exist and ‘inter-faith’ marriages are lovely fairy tale events where the Muzlim mother-in-law buys @TanishqJewelry jewellery for the pregnancy ‘रस्म’ of her Hindu daughter-in-law.

Okay children?

#thread My children helped in the making of the #9Days9Weaves videos. While shooting the clips, my daughter asked, ‘there are many people in India who deserve and need help, why have you chosen weavers?’ Her question had me thinking.
Handloom textiles are our original #makeinindia craft. Our ancestors had mastered the art is cultivating cotton and flax, spinning yarn, colouring yarn using vegetable n mineral colours using mordants to fix the dye and the craft of weaving on a loom.
Weaving has survived in India despite so many foreign invasions, brutal colonial rules and economic suppression. Under Hindu rulers, weavers enjoyed the status of an artist. They had their own guilds or श्रेणी and even the King had to treat weavers guilds with due respect.

#thread about unfair practices in textile selling, one at the lower end, by vendors selling on mass online e-commerce platforms like @myntra @amazon @Flipkart and @snapdeal and the other high end by small entrepreneurs who sell via FB/insta etc. cc @smritiirani @TexMinIndia
This is important because both indulge in unfair practices, which ultimately hurts the genuine weavers, who invest time, efforts and craftsmanship in their work. Let me start with the low end guys. They sell cheap synthetic powerlooms at very cheap prices on online platforms.
The pricing would be fine if these vendors declared that they were selling synthetic powerlooms. But they blatantly mislead consumers by calling their products ‘pure silk’ and use names of traditional weaves like Banarasi and Kanchipuram, when these are cheap knock-offs.

#Thread. I took time to think this through. As a contracted writer with @BloomsburyIndia, I am aghast at the crass, unethical way in which @BloomsburyIndia has behaved with @advmonikaarora , backing out from publishing her book on #AntiHinduDelhiRiots a week before the launch.
The publisher had a contract with @advmonikaarora. @BloomsburyIndia went through all stages of publishing, going through manuscript, editing it, suggesting changes and finally, printing it. The book is in print and now they are backing out bowing to pressure from literary mafia.
It is noteworthy that @BloomsburyIndia is still going ahead with a book on the #CAA protests that reflects the point of view of the Izlamists, citing ‘freedom of speech’. @BloomsburyIndia has capitulated to a literary mafia consisting of Izlamists and Communists. This is shameful

#Thread Hindus are caught in a catch 22 situation. If one Naveen posts something that is viewed as derogatory against someone’s profit, if one Kamlesh Tiwari dares to call one religion’s icon gay, entire cities erupt in violence, and everyone knows who will pay the price.
But no self-certified champion of #FoE will support a Naveen or Kamlesh Tewari. Instead, they will perpetuate Goebbelsian propaganda of a some fake human chain by Muzlims to protect a temple, without ONCE asking, who was attacking the temple to begin with.
A Naveen or a Kamlesh Tewari either ends up in jail or they are eventually found and kiIIed, all in the name of ‘peace’ and an ‘all merciful’ God! Public property is destroyed, entire cities burn, all in the name of ‘being peaceful’. And no one calls this ‘intolerance!’

#Thread. The Curious Case of Laila Tyabji’s Epic Meltdown. On the eve of #NationalHandloomDay, founder of Dastkar and textiles Prima Donna Laila Tyabji chose to rant about this govt’s decision of scrapping of the Handloom Board. SS attached. @TexMinIndia @smritiirani
In her rant, Ms. Tyabji alleged that d decision of scrapping the Handloom Board was taken by @TexMinIndia in the ‘quiet of Covid Times’, implying d govt had something to hide. She said how she ‘would have loved to be on that board’ and how it was a great institution. But was it?
Between 2005 - 2016, Handloom Board met precisely SIX times - in ELEVEN years. Meetings were held in five star hotels for half a day. There is no evidence of any policy decisions nor any recommendations made. In other words, the board was another @INCIndia era white elephant.
