Karnataka Govt is sponsoring a chair at Oxford, Indian Govt also donates to them as per this report - besides we need to write to each one of them listed here ouem.co.uk/about-ouem/
Those petitions at @Change have no impact whatsoever - if we are really keen on fighting this battle, go to those folks who fund Oxford’s various academic activities- oiem.co.Uk has more details
Here is the link to their annual report ox.ac.uk/sites/files/ox… - an elaborate and detailed document with details of various committees and professors / use this link ox.ac.uk/about/organisa… - walk you talk else no need to fight this battle
Iam sure @Rashmidvs knows this very well. Perhaps @INSIGHTUK2 can be of help as well to rally support of influential Indians in this battle against racism and bullying at Oxford. Direct your concerns at the right set of people
लड़ो लेकिन होश से - जोश से लड़ते लड़ते तो १४०० साल हो गए!

I had visited Dhaka almost 18 years ago & what amazes me today is the giant leap of Bangladesh on all development parameters -more so since Sheikh Hasina took over in 2009 for her second term -a run that continues till date and is longest phase of stability in #Bangladesh50
While in Dhaka, I came face to face with disparity, that I have not seen anywhere till date. When I visited Dhaka, Khaleda Zia was at the helm of affairs of BD and (must have been) occupying the Gana Bhaban- official residence of BD PM... military checkpoints were all over!
World trade was undergoing massive changes and Bangladesh, as a nascent and upcoming centre of readymade garment trade, was facing a high degree of uncertainty. Every hotel we went to, I saw Chinese (u can identify them by the noise they make at their respective tables)...
Peruvian economist, Hernando De Soto, vide his book, The Mystery of Capital: Why Capitalism Triumphs in the West and Fails Everywhere Else, advocated need for resolving property rights issue to help unlock land value with overall objective of conveying informal Eco to formal one!
I was first exposed this book by @TheKunwarKhan - brilliant and simple concept which talked about freeing the land held by vast majority of those at the bottom, with an objective of unlocking land potential by cutting down on property disputes via property title reforms.
And PM @narendramodi did exactly that as mentioned here - this is exactly how he generates “hope” amongst his followers / those who don’t talk on Twitter or Facebook / but are biggest beneficiaries of his work.... hope and delivery cycle goes on and is powering Modi juggernaut
As a long term @BJP4India supporter, I have observed BJPs transformation from a fighting force into a ruling/governing force. PM Modi’s role and leadership in this transformation needs no more elaboration as it is a widely known and accepted fact. #BJP
Alongside BJPs transformation, even PM Modi also transformed himself and that alone explains his seamless and successful transition from a state CM to Indian PM with appeal that transcends our geographical boundaries. As his stock went up worldwide so did India’s.
So what is that sets apart PM Modi form all his contemporaries across political spectrum. What is that explains his sheer hard-work & hunger for success through last 7 years in Delhi (amidst all that 24X7 scrutiny & hate that he generates in the mind space of his detractors)?
Per some alleged background papers and @HMOIndia report used by Vohra panel & published by @Outlookindia , one Hawala racketeer MoolChand Shah paid @PawarSpeaks Rs 72 cr between Dec 79 and Oct 92. Thread here
So thick was MoolChand’s relationship with @PawarSpeaks that detention order of Mar 89- No. SPL 3(A)PSA 0189/107 under COFEPOSA was "revoked by then Maha Gov" on May 10, 1990, "without assigning any reason" under orders of Pawar confidante and then HM Arun Mehta- 2 cr was price!
The man whose detention order was revoked by Arun Mehta, then Maha HM under @PawarSpeaks was his man Friday & played crucial role in diffusing crises faced by then Pawar Gov- well documented here in this India Today report - indiatoday.in/magazine/speci…
Feb 14, 1996 edition of @Outlookindia published one story of Rajesh Joshi, titled “Pawar's Time Of Reckoning”
basing it on the secret papers from Vohra Committee and alleged that then Maharashtra politician and strongman @PawarSpeaks had links with hawala agents close to Dawood
The piece started with subheading-The Nexus- & read as under:
“after the 93 Bombay blasts,@HMOIndia collected considerable information on the links b/w Cong politicians & underworld. The details of this investigation were submitted to the Vohra Committee.
The excerpts of that piece began with a laundry list under the heading “Underworld Operator Political/Bureaucratic Patronage” and listed some prominent politicians of Maha and Guj- here was that list & it named against dons the name of netas/ note where @PawarSpeaks is!
