I don't watch porn. But that doesn't mean I will deprive others from watching it.

There is a hype that increasing rape cases are due to pornographic content.

Systematic studies suggest it is not always the case. (1/n)
This study (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…) was conducted in 2014.

It was India specific. Growth of rape cases, population, internet users were taken into consideration.

Sample was large enough (1971-2008).

Conclusion: No such relation found. (2/n)
Researchers concluded "[i]t seems that the much-hyped causal relationship between pornography and sexual behavior is an exaggeration by politicians and mass media."

IMHO politicians ban pornography due to the Action Bias. Read more about it: businessworld.in/article/5-Comm…

Ferguson and Hartley are researching on this topic for almost a decade.

Their latest 2020 study (journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…) concluded that there is too little evidence to correlate sexual violence with pornography. (4/n)
In European and American countries, the result of such studies are almost same. (scholar.google.com/scholar_lookup…)

However, a few contrary studies are also available. In the end, there is too little evidence to prove that the correlation exists. (5/n)
Let's wait and watch whether it affects the crime rate in UP or nt.

The simple suggestion to avoid crime is to increase the State capacity which is happening.

So, after a few years, we need to find the attributable factor. This vigilance might not be directly responsible. (6/n)

Without any backing of data, Twitter has already decided to call it largest organised strike.

Narrative building?

#Rihanna
...and subtle promotions are happening in this way.
The account of Kisan Ekta Morcha is withheld in India.

But still in trending “Rihanna”, their tweet is being shown.

What’s this @TwitterIndia?

THREAD: Do you know how did Urdu media peddle conspiracy theories on #MumbaiAttacks?

Prof Rakesh Sinha and his team did an analysis. I’m sharing their takeaways here.

@roznamasahara called it as Mossad and CIA conspiracy like 9/11. #MumbaiTerrorAttack (1/n)
Nisheman and Rahmaan-e-Mulk gave a new conspiracy theory.

These #MumbaiTerrorAttacks, according to them, were done by Hindu fundamentalists and Mossad. (2/n)
According to Inquilab Urdu Times, "Hindu Terrorists" joined hands with Pakistan Terrorists to neutralise #Karkare.

Imagine the level of hatred. (3/n)

તમને ખબર છે કે ભારતીય સ્વતંત્રતા ચળવળ વખતે પણ #ગરબા પ્રખ્યાત હતા?

#નવરાત્રિ દરમિયાન આઝાદીને સંબંધિત ગરબા ગામેગામ ગવાતા અને લોકજાગૃતિનું કામ થતું.

કેટલાકનાં ઉદાહરણ આપું છું. (૧/n)
"મા હિમા તે ચલથી ઊતર્યાં મા કાળી રે,
માએ ધાર્યું છે ચંડી રૂપ ભારત મૈયા રે  
માએ દીઠાં ગોરાનાં પાપ મા કાળી  
માને હૈયે થયો સંતાપ ભારત મૈયા રે"

આ ગરબો "મા પાવા તે ગઢથી ઉતર્યાં"ને મળતો આવે છે. (૨/n)
ગોરાઓના રાજમાં થતા જુલમ વિશે...

"આવાં તે રાજ શાં હોય? હો બહુચરી!  
આવાં તે રાજ શાં હોય?  
વસ્તાર ને ધાન સૌ લુંટિયા હો બહુચરી!  
આવાં તે રાજ શાં હોય?  
ગાંધીજીને જેલમાં પૂર્યા હો બહુચરી!  
આવાં તે રાજ શાં હોય?  
જેલો તોડીને અમે આવશું હો બહુચરી!  
આવાં તે રાજ શાં હોય?"

Let’s talk about Ecosystem. I’m putting it straight without mincing words.

What happened in #Hathras case and #Rajasthan priest death case?

- National politicians from the Congress and other parties visited the victim family.
- No national leader of BJP went to Rajasthan. (1/n)
What about the compensation?

- Opposition demanded more and gave some compensation in Hathras. Yogi govt gave ₹25 lakh, govt job and flat.

- No serious pressure on the Rajasthan govt by the BJP. Gehlot is keeping mum.

(2/n)
What about the protests and dissent?

- In every major city, protests for Hathras were organised by the groups and demand of resignation of Yogi.

- No protests on ground for Rajasthan. No demand of resignation. Not even in a BJP ruled state.

In 1938, Gandhiji had inaugrated Laxminarain Temple, famously known as Birla Temple, in Delhi.

Staunch liberal and secular? 😁
6th point is plainly wrong, wrong and wrong.

Gandhiji quoted Swami Vivekananda too.

"I have gone through his works very thoroughly, and after having gone through them, the love that I had for my country became a thousand-fold."

7th point is a lie.

Mahatma Gandhi elaborated many times on #RamRajya. Read:

1. Issue of 1929 of ‘Young India’
2. His speech at Saryu Ghat, Ayodhya
