I do not have a problem if there is one person or ten behind @BharadwajSpeaks

Neither do I not have a problem if this handle ‘merely’ collates information….
If only some of our ‘eminent scholars’ had done as much…
From time to time former govt servants with their own version of historical facts, unaccustomed to being countered have exposed a chilling nastiness …. only to reveal their own rank inability to debate & engage.
Now this latest episode where an ex Governor thinks nothing of threatening a handle with consequences for his latest thread is not only shocking but tells us how deep is the sense of entitlement & brute power.
If the subject is so close to @governorswaraj ‘s heart he could have debated, discussed, countered it with his experience & knowledge
(which he now wants to do )

But to threaten, to dog whistle. Sorry, that is INEXCUSABLE.

Review - Antim Sanskar

Author @DeviPrasadRao8
India experienced terrorism much before other countries even awoke to it. The cowardice in perpetuating violence by the indoctrinated on an unsuspecting populace cannot be condemned enough.
We know too well that a country living under the shadow of terror finds inadvertently every sphere of its life effected by it.
Simple things like going to the cinema, travelling on public transport, shopping in bursting markets before festivities or even paying obeisance at a

The Anatomy of an Indian Liberal
#Pegasus 👇🏼
Class - Privileged.
First Language - English.
Religious Denomination - Secular. Convenient Atheist.

Celebrations - Don’t celebrate Diwali because of my dog.
Don’t celebrate Holi because of my cat.
Don’t fly kites because of my budgie.
But I celebrate Eid with mouth watering Haleem, Biryani, Korma …because when a goat is dead, stupid. It’s dead. Doesn’t feel a thing.

Personal Statement - My own ease, comfort & safety come first, always & every time. The unwashed masses can wait.

What has stood out most in the aftermath of #DanishSiddique killing is the rage & abuse some people have directed against those who had nothing to do with it at all !
Is it because his killing would have served them better if he had met his end here in a country that they have tried their best to push as fascist, bigoted & driven by Hindutva ?
Was it an opportunity lost for hyenas frothing at the mouth at the prospect of profit in tragedy ?
Alas, which they couldn’t place at the door of ‘Hindu’ India ?

The World According To Cocktail Maoists.

Anyone in their 20s cannot be sent to to jail for their crimes because they could be vegan, a climate change activist, mummy to a German Shepherd or pregnant.
Once one crosses 70, the State must be benign enough not to incarcerate for past crimes.
Even if politics & ideology pursued through adulthood demanded horrific violence & bloodshed.
The role of middle aged segment is to enable by remaining
safe & secure in their societal positions.
To wring hands, lament & foist their burden of shame on the rest of us.

It’s now 8yrs since we’ve been seeing pictures of the widows of Vrindavan celebrating Holi among themselves.
But every time the newspaper headlines read as if it’s for the very first time in eternity.
Fighting tradition, bashing patriarchy etc. etc.
However, among families & friends it was much, much earlier. In fact my city bred generation didn’t even know that it was something out of the ordinary.

Similarly, women lighting pyres has been known to us for at least a couple of decades. Daughters, brother & sister together,
mothers, wives with their minor children have taken to the responsibility & quietly broken the norm.

Why is it then that the media amplifies & magnifies anytime a well known female personality performs the ritual as if it’s never been done before,

A Portfolio of Lies, Death & Dereliction of Duty.
CM 1.
Who during a global pandemic knowingly & deliberately deprived oxygen to citizens of his state through obfuscation & hoarding.

How many died in at least 5 other states because of his criminality & who will account for the anxiety & fear it caused ?
Our mainstream media, instead of holding him answerable, was an enthusiastic enabler, equally guilty in amplifying engineered panic.

CM 2 & 3.
Under their aegis, in this emergency situation, precious vaccines have been wasted &/or vaccine hesitancy actively encouraged …..
