Leftist journalists were running a cleverly orchestrated anti-Indian vaccine campaign possibly at the behest of global Big Pharma.
In the first phase of the campaign, they excessively criticised the vaccines. Narrative about general efficacy, and side effects were pushed.
The second phase of the campaign focused on a possible shortage of vaccines even after Indian government repeatedly told that there is absolutely no shortage of it. India’s decision to give vaccines to other countries was severely criticised too.
Third phase of the campaign was about the efficiency of the government itself.
Will India be able to vaccinate its massive population?
Does India have the infra to conduct such a large scale vaccination drive?
These were the questions that were thrown incessantly.
Currently we are in the fourth phase where the journalists have given up on manufactured facts and are now resorting to ad hominem.
Targeting wealth and lifestyle of Adar Poonawallah.
Poking fun at the various claims the 2 vaccine majors of India have made
They tried their best to get Pfizer, BioNtech and Janssen in India but the Modi government was hell bent on staying Atm Nirbhar.
Today India’s vaccination program is the most successful in the world.
So why did the journalists do that?
Was it their inherent hatred for India?
Was it their inherent hatred for Modi?
Well both are correct but the biggest reason must be money. Lots and lots of it.

“The Mugal were champions of economy and they built a India theory demystified” - A thread
Numerically challenged, statistically unhinged and data noob liberals quote data to prove that Mughals were some sort of economic geniuses who led India to its most prosperous years.
According to data compiled by economic historian Angus Maddison:
“…as recently as 1700, Qing China and Mughal India each represented a little less than 25 per cent of world GDP”,
Liberal elites in media and academia latched on to it. This soon became the dominant narrative.
25% is a huge deal but this is what we can call a classic example of half truth.
So did Maddison lie? No she didn’t.
But she did hide (or overlooked) the data prior to the period she mentions. Hers was not the most detailed study.
What’s in the name: Taimur, Jahangir and mainstreaming of tyrants - a thread
What comes to your mind when you hear the word Aurangzeb?
A conceited man, an Islamist to the core, a Hindu hater, a tyrant who demolished countless temples, a frenzied mass murderer who killed countless Hindus.
What does the word Aurangzeb mean? It means “The glory of the throne”, such a beautiful name. Yet we see very few Aurangzebs around us. It’s because of the stigma attached to the name.
Social Media, Barack Obama and how it boomeranged (A thread)
First a little history:
It was Orkut that gave us our first social media experience. Some of us were even on High5 and MySpace. MySpace was the first social media site to reach a million monthly active users.
But by 2007 it was pretty much over. Come 2008, and Facebook had officially defeated it.
2008 was a tumultuous year. The financial Capital of India was under siege. The global economic system had collapsed. And the USA had its first black president - Barack Obama.
It was in this year that Facebook truly became a force to reckon with. MySpace was being embalmed for burial.
Barack Obama a hitherto unknown American politician suddenly became the top democratic nominee and went on to win the US Presidential election with a handsome margin.
Chak De India, Indian Women’s Hockey and Muslim Victimhood: a thread.
Many people are praising #ChakDeIndja, for scripting the revival of Women’s hockey. I agree with them. It was a fantastic movie. It had an engaging script, brilliant performances and a mind blowing climax. But
But sports was not the core of the movie. I know it’s an outrageous claim to make but I repeat sports was not at the core of the movie. It was at the periphery. It was just a medium to glorify Muslim victimhood complex.
Thread continues.
Picture this:
A Muslim man becomes the main reason for India’s loss in the finals of a tournament.
He is branded a traitor.
He makes a comeback as coach.
He turns a team of underdogs into world champions (hence redeeming himself).
#KarlRock is innocent because he looks different – a thread
I went to Bali in 2019. It was a nice short tour. I was returning from the Tanah Lot temple(a Vishnu temple), when I chanced upon an Indian couple, newly married, possibly honeymooners chattering in thick Punjabi accent.
They were clicking selfies. But that’s what every traveler does, right? But those guys were a little different.
An all Caucasian group comprising of half a dozen girls and around 8 guys was loitering around the temple. But they were strictly minding their work. The Indian couple went to them and started getting chatty.
When Piyush Goyal took charge of coal, power and renewable energy, the new minister of state knew what he was signing up for. The very volatile ministry was infamous for not getting anything done. In the UPA era it was divided between three cabinet ministers.
The ministry was a complete mess with a 1. 8 lakh crore scam, stranded thermal power plants, Fuel shortages and mounting debt of state utilities.
When NDA came to power, the situation of 100 power plants monitored was so bad that as many as 38 were left with only a week’s worth of coal to burn, while 20 had as little as four or less days of coal stocks.
