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?

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!
Although Sir VSN wrote his famous book describing India as a wounded civilisation in 1977, but this is what he said in his 1998 interview - listen to each and every word and extrapolate it to our present- what we see today is exactly what he had said here- we r no longer in our religious shell, we are accepting the outer world and even wants to lead it. I wish he had been alive to see it happen today!
He was always unapologetic about 6 Dec 92 - more so than many Indians of his era.
Renaissance doesn’t come when people pretend that past is going on, it comes when people accept that past is over and things have to be understood - in short confronting and accepting the past!
Had he been alive today, VSN would have been one of the first to acknowledge the Renaissance but on our terms!
Real news story is that even NYT- that came down heavily on Indian Govt post raids on @newsclickin -found Govt investigations by @dir_ed so compelling that they went after investigating the real Neville Singham and are now shamelessly claiming something, India found out in 2021!
Another aspect of NYT expose on Neville Singham is the shameless way in which foreign funded activists like @ravishndtv defended @newsclickin then - hear him making fun of investigations - after all he is the beneficiary of same network!
@ravishndtv @newsclickin See for your self how shamelessly @sardesairajdeep @ashutosh83B @paranjoygt and Manini Chatterjee came out defending @newsclickin after raids - many other stooges turned up then at Press club. https://t.co/PbcD2bWIty
North East, like majority of India, during pre 2014 was most developed region of Ind with peaceful coexistence & best infra in the country. Ppl from NE were celebrated as Indians throughout- all thanks to golden rule of Cong- Nehru, Indira, Rajiv & Sonia and then 2014 happened!
It is other matter that the great Nehru Ji was forced to promulgate The Armed Forces (Assam and Manipur) Special Powers Ordinance 1958 on 22 May 1958- later replaced by the Armed Forces (Assam and Manipur) Special Powers Act, 1958 on 11 September 1958 to contain Naga rebellion!
BTW Nehru ji was in such love with region, that the territorial scope of the act was extended to 7 states of NE- Assam,Manipur,Meghalaya,Nagaland, Tripura,Arunachal Pradesh & Mizoram & "The Armed Forces (Assam & Manipur) Special Powers Act, 1958" became AFSPA, 1958. ❤️ feeling!
First phase of Kanvad mela is over and as per some estimates almost 4 crores Hindus have already collected Ganga Jal from Haridwar & have left for their respective shivalayas from the time mela started.
Do check this thread for some of the amazing stories from this kanvad mela!
Hinduism is not thriving coz of Ranganathans, Kulshreshthas & Saideepaks; it is thriving coz of crores of Hindus who, pursue faith for the love of it!
Street domination is imp; hence I won’t mind few tonnes of plastic garbage as I know that change will come as well!
To see this is so touching - this Bhole bhakt is carrying his parents as well along with Kanvad…. Faith is his biggest support and strength - such a profound celebration of dharma!
