So the Chaiwala not only made the derisive & the contemptuous pluck tea leaves … Image
But also serve it …

And then he made them waddle, unsure & uncomfortable towards our temples & places of worship …

Someone forgot to tell the lady that she’s not the Deity but … Image
With the Begum herself, racing to recite first Chandi Path…
& now …
Meanwhile, our man in Delhi was not to be left behind …
Bharat Tere Tukde … oops !
Kattar Deshbhakt !!
So to those who go on & on about what has not been done.

~ We’ve come a long way
&
We still have a longer way to go
But
The biggest danger is -
That some don’t know from where we’ve come & what we’ve seen …

With what face can those who stole,
plundered, deceived,
colonised, enslaved, annihilated cultures,
converted through coercion & torture,
justified abominable atrocities in the name of colour, race
even destroyed indigenous wildlife in a maniacal show of drunken power
have the nerve to lecture us on tolerance, democracy, inclusiveness ?

Wealth, they say, gives them power !
Ha!
Even that, is from the back, the toil, the blood of our ancestors. Their museums filled with our art & treasure.
Cloaked in 21stC sanctimoniousness this pillage & racism continues in their own inner cities, no go zones

One could be on a 3-6 week overseas trip in the 70s,80s & 90s & not have India mentioned even once in their newspapers or on their TV.

It was as if we simply did not exist.

The reason why the Gandhis & their controllers want Narendra Modi out now & at the earliest is-

The longer he stays the more India gets accustomed to more.
And more is not what their Idea of India is all about.
After all, when in power they ran us with a crumb now & then, dribble here & there so that we remained perpetually wanting & grateful while they flew in & out of the country having enriched themselves exponentially.
Plucking a page from Dadi’s & Daddy’s old, faded albums these touristy picture postcards of sipping coconuts, joining in the local colour & dance sent from various parts of the country is what the siblings believe will overcome their disconnect with the challenges & aspirations

How hard YoYa tries with that hangdog face & his far-fetched tales that usually leave the likes of NDTV in raptures...

BBC’s Stephen Sackur however, remains unimpressed & cuts him short abruptly several times over.

Embarrassing !!

Here is the link to the complete interview. Thank you @Rita_2110
