@PMOIndia

If you aren't listening to @PMOIndia @narendramodi right now, please do listen. He is laying out a compelling case for the Farm loans. Irrfutable. Just listen. Brilliant!

Started off by quoting former PM Charan Singhji that in 1970 nearly 51% of farmers had < 1 hectare of land. Now that has increased to 68%. upto 2 hectares, that's 84% of all Indian farmers. These farmers don't even have bank accounts. Can't take loans. So loan writeoffs - no use

Spoke about Fasal Bima Yojana. Then Gram Sadak Yojana. All these are in aid of the "small farmer". PM keeps repeating that. #FarmLaws

With all the anti-Hindu narrative coming from all over the world, it is perhaps the right time to remind everyone that in no other country in the world, have we seen minorities rising to top positions as in India.
We hv hd minority Presidents (Muslims and Sikh), aminority PM 1/n

A minority (Italian born, Christian) leader of the government. We have had Jewish Generals. Our most revered Army Chief was of the Parsi faith. We have had Sikh Army Chiefs. Muslim cricket players and captains and Generals. Our mot revered IT company head is a Muslim.

2/n

Our most revered business houses Tatas are minority Parsis. Can we do more for our folks? Absolutely yes. But the way the "majority" Hindu has afforded opportunities to everyone is often forgotten or at worst, obfuscated.
Show me another country with that does this. 3/n

Let us now look at the role the Media played.. or didn't play.
Why am I being told today that VMSingh has property worth 600 Cr? Who or what is a "gangster-turned-activist"? Why didn't the media highlight these guys? Surely there is a story there! Of course I realize that.. 1/n

it didn't fit into the narrative of the "poor struggling kisan", but surely, an unbiased media should have rooted these stories out?
Even if most of us could see that these were very far from the "poor kisans", with their SUVs and Benzes, iPhones and Tommy Hillfigers..2/n

Surely the media should have done their jobs?

But then again, maybe I expect too much from our MSM. Is it any wonder that nobody trusts these news channels anymore?

I must tender an apology today. An apology to Mr. Amit Shah and to this govt. On the 26th, while watching that yellow flag inside the Red Fort, I, like most other patriots, reacted emotionally. I felt that the Delhi Police should have pushed back harder.
I was wrong. 1/n

@mchellap

So what changed? You might ask.
I heard Rakesh Tikait say something like this: "They pulled dwn the flag bt d police did not fire a single bullet".
That's when it hit me that people like @mchellap who had been saying that the police inaction was actually a solid move were rt 2/n

By NOT reacting to the provocation in the expected manner, the govt., has taken the wind out of their sails.
can't write WaPo/NYT/WSJ articles on bullets that have nt been fired. You can't create narratives without enough bodies (that one death was due to the dead man's idiocy3/n

Today is the 4th Death Anniversary of our old principal from Madras Christian College School. As a hosteler there, Dr. Felix was like a guardian angel to us. The hostelers had a bad rep and we were picked on by the teachers. Dr. Felix stood by us. So many stories each of us has..

on how he helped us, in our hostel group. The man had a tough exterior but with a heart of gold. I remember after my 12th Physics practical board exams when the physics teacher who had it in for me, laughing with the external examiner and basically threatening me with low marks

I went to the hostel and told my pals. They told me to head straight to Dr. F. He told me to go back to the hostel. Then went straight to the Physics lab and came back to the hostel. Told me that he had read the riot act to the Physics teacher.. that he had seen my paper
