Dear @khalafroula, so blatant was the misquote that @LisaCurtisDC had to intervene & correct @AmyKazmin-this is not the first time that Amy has done this; her racist bias can be culled out from her past reports & tweets over last few years but this is crossing all limits! @Dimi
So @khalafroula can you pl see yourself as to what @LisaCurtisDC actually said & how that comment was used by @AmyKazmin and @Dimi to further their own agenda behind this piece - let me tell you that Amy has been a regular at doing such strange manoeuvres to pursue racist agenda!
Why is @AmyKazmin so subtle with her propaganda and what is her issue? If that started coz of her visa woes last year in Aug 2020 when she wrote piece in FT and took to Twitter to outrage on GOI coming out with a universal guideline to shield India from rising cases outside
Outraging on @MEAIndia ‘s decision to place visa restrictions to shield India from rising corona infections overseas, she wrote this piece in FT ft.com/content/2e49d4… -perhaps she thought that her white privilege puts her above Indian Govt! BTW, @ThePrintIndia played ball here!
It is amazing to note the role @ThePrintIndia is playing in amplifying every story that they find anti @narendramodi Govt and did same following @AmyKazmin ‘s piece when @revathii95 without citing names,wrote their sob stories following Indian Govt decision to place restrictions!
But to credit “across the board visa restrictions imposed to shield India from rising corona virus infections” for @AmyKazmin ‘s biased and racist reporting will be an overstatement-she was always like this -read her 1997 paper extract- guess that was her first tenure in mid 90s
Coming back to moment when @AmyKazmin ko @MEAIndia ne gussa dilaaya aur us ko mazboor kiya ki wo FT mein visa restrictions ke against piece likhe aur @revathii95 ko bataye ki kaise other than her white privilege,she pays “taxes in India”-LOL!But how did she pay back? Chk next!
Well, @AmyKazmin retaliated to those Visa restrictions with this @FT story on January 26, 2021, that raised doubts not only over India's vaccine program but also claimed that PM Modi might already have been 'secretly' vaccinated with a foreign dose. ft.com/content/c86afc…
But then @AmyKazmin is gracious enough to not restrict herself to @FT only / she obliges every platform practising nothing but hate for @narendramodi Govt with opinion on quotes on every matter under the Sun- check this
Dear @khalafroula I doubt that u will read this thread. But if u do;consider reflecting on how valid it is for @FT to continue with someone like @AmyKazmin-with such inherent racist hate,bias & disdain for current regime, duly elected by Indian voters-be objective in her reports?
Last but not least, @AmyKazmi integrity demands that u come out clean on this objection by @LisaCurtisDC to ur usage of her quote to manufacture a conclusion, that wasn’t meant to be, in d 1st place!
Dear @khalafroula u hv a job here to do- seek explanations from ur bureau chief
Dear @khalafroula u shud also ask @AmyKazmin her views on this video please as she has concluded in her 1997 paper that “biases against Indian women starts at birth only”
For how long will u continue to give her space to peddle her racist agenda @khalafroula ? Does this mean that @AmyKazmin feels that America with 600000 deaths or UK, a country of 60 million with 160K deaths are feeling great after the tsunami that scarred them?

THREAD🧵: Madhu Kishwar vs Madhu Kishwar
When your 50-year-long compromised career is your biggest indictment!
Will you believe me, if I tell you that Kishwar was a Leftist Naxal when Naxalism peaked; became a Feminist when feminism peaked, was Anti-Ram Mandir when Hindutva was weak only to become pro-Hindutva warrior as BJP began ascending. Later she became pro @narendramodi when he was sure of winning in the run up to 2014.
And now, she Anti-Modi as she didn't get any favours, she was expecting on her own!
BTW, she had a small fling with UPA as well, writing "Dear Yasin Malik... With good wishes" after following Manmohan Singh's separatist engagement line post UPA's 2009 bigger mandate.
Hers is a story of wearing multiple identities in five decades: a smooth operator, bad liar and a worse propagandist- Lady Natwa
Let me first begin by sharing how I had warned about the intellectually fraudulent side of Madhu Kishwar way back in 2013 (check image 2).
Now that she has crossed all limits, the reality of this fraud @madhukishwar, who is hurling fake, baseless and motivated allegations against PM, @narendramodi must come out before everyone.
She has called PM Modi a "Satanic ruler," a "CIA plant," and a man with "personality disorders."
Let me remind everyone that in 2014, this same fraud wrote a 400-page book comparing the same PM Modi to Mahatma Gandhi, toured the country defending him, and fought for him so aggressively on television that the man she was attacking sued her for Rs 1 crore defamation. Now she is using allegations of that very man and as rejected by the SC to attack PM....
.....twelve years later.
Same person.
Same source.
Same allegations.
Nothing changed
........except her equation with power.
And the liar is basing her attacks on the SC-rejected allegations of the same Pradeep Sharma who sued her for defamation when she was defending Modi against him in 2013.....Again, same story repeats, same source, opposite sides, and 13 years apart.
What I am going to share is based on the court records, police FIRs, peer-reviewed academic papers, ED press releases, and her own published work.
It is important to set the record straight and for everyone to see.
Here comes a 🧵on the sordid saga of Madhu Kishwar with proofs at every stage!
KISHWAR's मौकापरस्ती PATTERN
Every major ideological shift in Kishwar's five-decade career has tracked where power, momentum, or institutional support was located at that time.
Not once has she been ahead of the curve. Consider this
>> She started as a Naxal sympathiser when Naxalbari was sweeping campuses.
>> She adorned the hat of a CPI(M)/SFI activist when the Left was the power centre.
>> She became a feminist leader through Manushi when the women's movement was cresting.
>> She was anti-Ram Janmabhoomi when Hindutva wasn't in power.
>> She turned pro-Hindutva when BJP started growing.
>> She followed UPA's separatist line after UPA won bigger in 2009.
>> She became Modi's biggest defender when his PM win was certain.
>> And now she turned into a most viciously lying attacker when the Rajya Sabha seat she expected never came.
Never ahead of the curve. Always riding it. And the moment the wave stopped carrying her, she found a new one.
KISHWAR'S NAXAL ORIGIN??
The woman who calls everyone "Urban Naxal" came from that exact world.
Two independent sources confirm her Naxal and CPI(M) origin.
Grokipedia documents her "participation in the Naxalbari movement and affiliation with the Communist Party of India (Marxist)."
Professor Shamsul Islam (Delhi University, The Quint 2020) independently confirmed that "Kishwar started her career with the Naxalbari movement and then went over to the CPM."
Two sources. Same conclusion. This is not anyone's allegation. This is documented record.
She was Miranda House Student Union President. SFI fielded her as DUSU candidate in 1972 (per Sunday Guardian). Later, she moved to JNU where Left was dominant in politics.
Her entire formative political education was in the CPI(M)/SFI ecosystem.
And today she has the audacity to call others "Urban Naxal." Madam, aap toh khud wahi se aayee hain!
And @NMenonRao, in her true parasitic self of a compromised Indian elite (most of them are like that actually) has exposed herself yet again……for the nth time…..
Before I start, let me tell you that Rao gets hefty pension at the cost of Indian taxpayers but always works for her real masters……ever since her famous Fujimori party escapade when rebels stormed Peruvian party thrown by then Peruvian President!
Man, this woman is a parasite to the core & sadly no vaccine exists to deal with parasites like hers!
Let me begin by requesting everyone to NOT make the mistake of reading @NMenonRao - @HinaRKhar exchange at face value.
If you do, you simply haven't understood how six decades of subcontinental geopolitics has always worked until @narendramodi happened in 2014 and the rules changed forever.
So what got exposed in reality- well this is something I would call "The Elite Asymmetry".
Often I have written about it because we Indians need to see the real games that are being played behind the scenes and how major section of the Indian elite has always sacrificed our interest at the altar of fellowships, think tank postings or western scholarships for their kids and themselves .
Rao-Khar exchange just proved it once again!
As against what @sushantsareen wrote, the exchange between Rao-Khar makes the fundamental difference between the Pakistani and Indian elite class crystal clear........
This phenomenon rarely gets discussed as it is carefully hidden under the cloak of appi jhappi punjabified nostalgia. Sadly, this is how our diplomacy played out on the world stage for longest of times and is the pain point of Rao as well.
Pakistan's elite, regardless of tone, stage, or audience, ALWAYS works in the direction of its state's strategic interest.
Compared to them, significant section of India's elite spends its energy working against its own government.
Chalo, samjhte hain kaise...
Congress and its supporters never tire of boasting about having a Cambridge PhD economist as PM while mocking PM @narendramodi's humble origins at the same time.
Well, since data doesn't lie so let us check 20 years of data on India's oil economy to find who ran India's ₹30 LAKH CRORE oil economy better : PM with Cambridge PhD degree or a PM with humble origins and who also sold chai once at the railway station...
Thread follows!
To set the context, let us look at what Cambridge educated PM inherited in 2004 from a Pracharak PM Vajpayee after his 6 years rule:
In line with Kelkar committee's recommendations, Vajpayee govt dismantled Administered Pricing Mechanism (APM) and made petrol pricing market linked.
Prices in Delhi when UPA took over:
☑️ Petrol: ₹33.71/L
☑️ Diesel: ₹21.74/L
☑️ LPG: ₹241/cylinder
Remember these numbers as they will tell you the reality of Cambridge educated PM the best!
How many of you that know that-
1) Despite APM being formally dismantled, Manmohan's government effectively brought back government controlled pricing through the back door? Yes you heard it right. 2) Instead of letting market pricing work (as ABV govt intended), UPA forced OMCs to sell below cost, thus creating massive "under-recoveries," and then compensated them by issuing oil bonds effectively kicking the bill to the future.
So by the time Manmohan Singh was kicked out by the voters in 2014, prices in Delhi rose to
If you ever happen to be near Astley Hall, Dehradun, pls find her and buy stuff from her to support her. She told me she sells variety of stuff until 11:30 night.
I felt I found her as I needed to meet one to help me extract out of the general disenchantment creeping within me
I had a brief chat with her after she approached me. I found something of my use in her box; more importantly I was interested in hearing her story. She is from Delhi, lives in a rented accommodation as both her sons died n now supports her by selling variety stuff to shop goers
Life is extremely uncharitable on some - but then it is the tenacity and the will that helps overcome problems one faces. To me, the highlight was the way she narrated her story with a smile on her face, with acceptance and recognition of her state, written over it.
Since last year, @AjiHaaan and I have been tracking role of Germany and how it is meddling in Indian affairs. Consider few points and everything is verifiable:
1. Harsh Mander spent close to a year in Germany on the pretext of some study. 2. German State TV has been running propaganda against India and esp Modi govt for long. Infact DW has produced anti Modi documentaries. 3. Germany tried to meddle into Indian affairs several times - be it during farm law agitation or via its utterances on Kashmir when their FM shared stage with Bhutto. 4. And lastly, Dhruv Rathi is in Germany and is spearheading a propaganda against Indian govt. Simply impossible to do all that circular jacking up of video views to push his narrative without some agency support.
Note how this comparison of video views theme/narrative to determine popularity of leaders and journalist began last year and is single most criteria today to push this compromised man. Surely he is working for German agency!
