[Nepal Watch]
- This is a very symbolic ceremony, won't happen w/o a lot of ground work. Remember, R&AW Chief has just visited Nepal sometime back.
- Reminder to 'analysts' who paint doomsday scenario in Foreign Policy at drop of a hat.

Its not always that the R&AW Chief makes such a public visit to meet a PM of a state. Though, won't say that border issue has disappeared. Its just that, it has been made to rest.

For reference, linking my earlier thread on details of India-Nepal border dispute about Lipulekh, Kalapani, and Limpiyadhura:
Message by Indian Army Chief on the eve of his visit to Nepal and on being conferred the honorary title of Chief of the Nepal Army. He will also meet the PM of Nepal (2nd senior Indian official to meet him in quick succession after R&AW Chief).
China grabs Nepalese land in two more areas. Earlier, it had done boundary change and land gran in three districts in central and eastern Nepal.

- There are many self-proclaimed champions of free speech and press who'll be very happy at these visuals.
- But remember, Rubicon has been crossed today.
- It will singe everyone. Don't cry when same template is applied to you. Image
Even when left with no option but to condemn the actions of Maharashtra government against #Arnab people can't fail to bring false equivalence. When did BJP go about hounding a journalist like what's happening with Arnab?

- Classic obfuscation.
- Rather than look within, accuse everyone of similar behavior as Muslims.
- What's the point of teaching us about true meaning of Quran?
- Tell that to your co-religionists who kill in the name of Quran & Allah.

This was the pits! Never mind the ignorance about who all has Charlie Hebdo made fun of in the past, the comment about Holocaust is downright pathetic. What satire could anyone see in 6 million Jews like these killed only because of their religion?

- These are your regular, everyday Bangladeshi Muslim folks.
- How long will you keep on classifying them as 'radicals', as if that is some sort of sub-category which only indulges in such violence against other religion(s)?

-Need to take these figures with caution
-These are dispatch numbers; real crux will be sales at dealer's end
-If sales are good, dealer will order more in subsequent months, otherwise, unsold inventory will mean fall in dispatch numbers
+

- Plus, how much of increased dispatches is because dealers are stockpiling inventory which they'd not filled up after lock-down started.
- See YTD figures. There's a huge gap.
- How much of present numbers are pent-up demand from previous months & how long will they sustain?

[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.
This is on a completely different level. Let me see anyone counter this. Good catch!

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.
