If you really want to understand Kashmir issue, you must understand Pakistan’s invasion of Jammu and Kashmir on Oct 22nd, 1947. I highly recommend @rhinohistorian ‘s excellent book ‘India’s Wars- A Military History’ to understand what happened and how India emerged victorious.

Remember those who talk about plebiscite, UN intervention etc never mention Pakistan’s invasion of Kashmir in 1947- a well planned conspiracy to annex Jammu and Kashmir. This operation called ‘Operation Gulmarg’ was multi-pronged strategy to annex Kashmir with the help of Tribals

When Pakistan was formed, the very first thing it did was to launch operation Gulmarg - a conspiracy to use lashkars made up of Tribals to attack Kashmir.They were fully aided and given weapons by Pakistan army. As soon as Pakistan was formed they started using non state actors

@KamalaHarris

Dear @KamalaHarris Your niece hasn’t had the grace to apologize for the insensitive & offensive meme she posted and then quietly deleted.Your campaign must have assumed and rightly so that offending 1.2 billion Hindus globally and approximately 1 % of US population is no big deal

What could possibly be the downside of offending this peace loving minority in the US who are model citizens? What could be the ‘political backlash’ of trampling their emotions? None. Few angry tweets, maybe a couple of opeds, and maybe if it gets bad a peaceful protest somewhere

Your campaign has calculated correctly.Hindu minority in the US does not count for much electorally and why should you care about what they think outside of the US.These people who wake up every morning praying their intellect be illuminated (Gayatri Mantra) are hardly a threat

@aroonpurie

This is unbelievable . Seems @aroonpurie is not upset at being caught for Ratings manipulation and then quietly having to pay fine for it but he is upset at why this information was leaked! it would still have been okay if his channel was not busy in blaming Republic for fraud:)

This TRP war that is ostensibly about manipulating ratings but essentially is about rival channels not knowing what to do with Arnab and his popularity. This is not ideological. It is purely driven by economics. That is why Times Now, India TV, Zee have also attacked Arnab

Here is an unsolicited advice to all TV channels. And this is my dispassionate analysis of news media scene too. You will not be able to get Arnab if you attack his integrity. He is not going to give petty bribes to manipulate ratings. That is not him.

My earliest memory of my father is him writing with a black fountain pen deep in thought.That was his meditation and his prayer. A life dedicated to mathematics and poetry. Also a lifelong teacher who taught his students to find poetry in math #HappyTeachersDay2020

In middle of dinner,my father would forget he was eating and solve equations in the air with his fingers.He taught anyone who came to his doorstep. He would spend hours with his students outside classrooms. He knew real education was outside classrooms. #HappyTeachersDay2020

My father passed away a long time ago. Long before he could teach me what he taught his students. But his students haven’t forgotten him. Recently one of his students connected with my mom on FB and sent this message #HappyTeachersDay2020

Ultimately it all boils down to this: How far in history are you willing to go? Check the mischievous headlines in western media. They will go back 30 years but none of them are willing to go back further than that. Even after SC judgement they will not concede ASI report.

So today in India there are only two sets of people: Those who believe there was no India before 1947 and our history begins in 1947 and those who believe we are a continuous civilization of 5000 years and we cannot forget our civilizational memory.

For seventy years the small elite group that believes India came into being only in 1947 and before that was a bunch of warring princely states with no civilizational consciousness from Himalayas to oceans in the south won their game.They were so elite that they kept everyone out

There is an article in Deccan Herald today that is factually incorrect and based on some manufactured data claims that in J&k problems have increased after abrogation of Article 370. The data quoted in support of this is not data that can be verified but personal opinion

118 terrorists were killed in the first 6 months of this year and there has been a 48 per cent decline in recruitment according to this source that most liberals would like to trust. theprint.in/statedraft/is-…

89 terrorists killed and half of them from Hizbul. Here is another source that liberals and Islamists like to trust. indianexpress.com/article/india/….
