Key takeaways from the #GretaToolKitLeaks and #ShaheenBagh #KathuaCase #FarmerProtests for Pro-India and Pro-Sanatan Samskriti adherents: (1/n)

1) Our lot severely lacks a bona fide PR and Communications Agency which can be leveraged.

2) Those against us clearly leverage professional PR and Communications agencies and have deals with news syndicates. Their reach is much broader than ours

2/n

3) They are very organized and very disciplined whereas we are highly disorganized and highly undisciplined. Each person is running their own "fight the wrong narrative" battle alone.

3/n

4) The other side is pro-active whilst we are reactive. Often times, the pro-active side has already done enough damage and we fight a futile uphill battle - that too from many fronts without clear direction or resolve.

4/n

5) World perception amelioration requires lots of ground work. The other side gets full marks for that whilst we have a failing grade. We are getting better - ever so slowly but this is not good enough. On the ground work: Charity, protests, pressure to elected officials etc.
5/n

6) Let us all please resolve to get out of this Left-Right wing political paradigm! We are more nuanced than that. We do a great disservice to scholars and adherents of the ever evolving socio-political and economic viewpoints and systems in vogue and at play today!

6/n

7) Concerted cooperation between the Pro-India and Pro-Sanatan Samskriti lot in India and the diaspora must not be limited to election time campaigning where the oft used/abused "us versus them polarization" method is over-exploited to win/lose emotional votes.

7/n

8) Once in power, we seem to sit down and relax. We suffer from civilizational hubris. We live off of past glory. We get excited when some Indian-origin person becomes a CEO. We think we are godly when a kid wins a spelling bee.

8/n

9) Look at the current #FarmerProtest exposé and how we feel like we have won some great war by luckily finding the leaked toolkit. We think our job is done! No, it is not done! The other side plans to destroy our Yoga and Chai soft power.

9/n

10) Pro-India and Pro-Sanantan Samskriti adherents, scholars, bloggers, activists in India need to cooperate with the same lot in the diaspora. Both sides ought to consult each other respectfully for insights and to plan and execute effective initiatives with coordination!

10/n

11) Please stop belittling and expressing your condescension to actual scholars in the Social Sciences who will be some of the most critically important forces to win this war against India and Sanatan Samsriti. They offer professional advice! Take it!

11/n

12) Please resolve to work together on the ground and in academia to change our narrative from a reactive posture to a proactive posture. Truth always wins. But it requires some conditions. Let us all make it happen.

I offer you my humble 🙏🕉️☮️
