WE.
We want to remember !

~Art, culture, history taught & spoken are soothing balms for wretched souls savaged by violence.
Our leaders, historians & thinkers in their wisdom never utilized these means to assuage a new country and it’s trauma~ Image
~The unforgivable tragedy is that we were deprived of National Therapy, a collective conversation to reveal, speak, discover others equally wounded and above all question~
Thank you @narendramodi Sir 🙏🏼

Perhaps insensitive & unpopular opinion at this time but …..
#Afganistan
In the early 80's Defence Colony & Lajpat Nagar, New Delhi were localities that found favour with Afghan refugees.

Within few months in our fairly relaxed locality there were disturbing changes to our way of life.
From walking alone without a second thought to Defence Colony Market a popular place with eateries, bakeries & other stores we began to go in two’s or more
as the young men who began hanging around streets in groups seemed unaccustomed to seeing unchaperoned girls/women.

Doomsday prophecies are dramatic & drama distracts the debate.
Putting that aside I would agree that it is indeed an existential moment.

Our own personal faith Sanatan Dharma has existed through the millennia despite terrible onslaughts & may well exist till eternity….
However, it is the political agency of Hindus & Hinduism that is threatened everyday & is eaten away before our eyes.

Till there is a concerted effort & focus on fighting this threat by the State itself, there is no doubt we will be neutered & our voice, no longer count.
Compelling us into silence when it comes to crime. Forcing us indoors to practise our traditions & forms of worship ‘discreetly & quietly’ lest it ‘disturb’ those who pushed, shoved & got their way.

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.

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 ?
