I don't watch porn. But that doesn't mean I will deprive others from watching it.

There is a hype that increasing rape cases are due to pornographic content.

Systematic studies suggest it is not always the case. (1/n)
This study (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…) was conducted in 2014.

It was India specific. Growth of rape cases, population, internet users were taken into consideration.

Sample was large enough (1971-2008).

Conclusion: No such relation found. (2/n)
Researchers concluded "[i]t seems that the much-hyped causal relationship between pornography and sexual behavior is an exaggeration by politicians and mass media."

IMHO politicians ban pornography due to the Action Bias. Read more about it: businessworld.in/article/5-Comm…

Without any backing of data, Twitter has already decided to call it largest organised strike.

Narrative building?

#Rihanna
...and subtle promotions are happening in this way.
The account of Kisan Ekta Morcha is withheld in India.

But still in trending “Rihanna”, their tweet is being shown.

What’s this @TwitterIndia?

THREAD: Do you know how did Urdu media peddle conspiracy theories on #MumbaiAttacks?

Prof Rakesh Sinha and his team did an analysis. I’m sharing their takeaways here.

@roznamasahara called it as Mossad and CIA conspiracy like 9/11. #MumbaiTerrorAttack (1/n)
Nisheman and Rahmaan-e-Mulk gave a new conspiracy theory.

These #MumbaiTerrorAttacks, according to them, were done by Hindu fundamentalists and Mossad. (2/n)
According to Inquilab Urdu Times, "Hindu Terrorists" joined hands with Pakistan Terrorists to neutralise #Karkare.

Imagine the level of hatred. (3/n)

તમને ખબર છે કે ભારતીય સ્વતંત્રતા ચળવળ વખતે પણ #ગરબા પ્રખ્યાત હતા?

#નવરાત્રિ દરમિયાન આઝાદીને સંબંધિત ગરબા ગામેગામ ગવાતા અને લોકજાગૃતિનું કામ થતું.

કેટલાકનાં ઉદાહરણ આપું છું. (૧/n)
"મા હિમા તે ચલથી ઊતર્યાં મા કાળી રે,
માએ ધાર્યું છે ચંડી રૂપ ભારત મૈયા રે  
માએ દીઠાં ગોરાનાં પાપ મા કાળી  
માને હૈયે થયો સંતાપ ભારત મૈયા રે"

આ ગરબો "મા પાવા તે ગઢથી ઉતર્યાં"ને મળતો આવે છે. (૨/n)
ગોરાઓના રાજમાં થતા જુલમ વિશે...

"આવાં તે રાજ શાં હોય? હો બહુચરી!  
આવાં તે રાજ શાં હોય?  
વસ્તાર ને ધાન સૌ લુંટિયા હો બહુચરી!  
આવાં તે રાજ શાં હોય?  
ગાંધીજીને જેલમાં પૂર્યા હો બહુચરી!  
આવાં તે રાજ શાં હોય?  
જેલો તોડીને અમે આવશું હો બહુચરી!  
આવાં તે રાજ શાં હોય?"

Let’s talk about Ecosystem. I’m putting it straight without mincing words.

What happened in #Hathras case and #Rajasthan priest death case?

- National politicians from the Congress and other parties visited the victim family.
- No national leader of BJP went to Rajasthan. (1/n)
What about the compensation?

- Opposition demanded more and gave some compensation in Hathras. Yogi govt gave ₹25 lakh, govt job and flat.

- No serious pressure on the Rajasthan govt by the BJP. Gehlot is keeping mum.

(2/n)
What about the protests and dissent?

- In every major city, protests for Hathras were organised by the groups and demand of resignation of Yogi.

- No protests on ground for Rajasthan. No demand of resignation. Not even in a BJP ruled state.
