Ever since @BJP4India became a force to reckon with in 90s, one narrative that we grew up with after it was thrusted down our throats was that BJP is a Hindu Nationalist Party.
For Indira, BJP was a Baniya party and this Hindu identity was courtesy western media & continues!
The fixation of western media to allocate identities to political movements is ltd to non Christian countries ONLY-reason y US, despite Presidents taking oath under Bible or European countries ruled by several Christian parties,none of them is identified as disparagingly as BJP!
As majority of Muslim nations don’t have democracy so media is not obligated to call them so; in Muslim countries with some semblance of democracy- for ex in Pak, neither PMLN nor PPP is identified as disparagingly as BJP in India. Ditto for BD. Not much diff is case of Turkey!
So why is BJP identified with the majority religion of the country ?
Reason lies in d fact that for longest of times, west has developed a working relationship with Cong and its status-quoist approach. They know that Cong has NO ambition to give India its rightful place; BJP has
Prog of every party is known in advance & so is ideology. You can ask anyone about past narrative of Indian politics - Indira never called BJP a Hindu party- she uses to identify it as Baniya party and taking cue from her, India media used to do the same- so when did it change?
Label for BJP began changing only after entry of Rajiv and Sonia Gandhi in public space- latter was very much active between 84 & 89. Infact, if one were to really analyse post 80 reign of Indira, she played Hindu card & it started reducing only after death of Sanjay Gandhi!
Western media & mainly BBC would never do a program in 90s without calling BJP- a Hindu fundamentalist party- yes if I remember it correctly many of its anchors used to use that term- nationalist came later as BJP became a reality of India!
The narrative building around BJP began changing after PM @narendramodi entered the national scene and now BJPs ascension is openly linked to India’s secular identity - note this interview that @yogital gave to @CBSNews after BJP win in 2019!
We have now in the 4th stage of this narrative building - from Baniya party by Cong to Hindu Fundamentalist/ Nationalist party of western media to linking its rise to security and safety of Muslims & secular fabric of India to openly calling it as a country moving towards Nazism!
It will be foolhardy to laugh away the repeated usage of Nazi word with Hindutva and Brahmins at recently concluded DGH conference and next day comment of Moeed Yusuf on similar lines - check screenshots again and see the clear pattern- imagine a Pak NSA equating us with Nazis!
But why is west happy working with Cong?
Coz status-quoist Cong,ruled by an Italian, will NEVER challenge its hegemony; nor will it pose a threat. As against Cong,BJP under PM @narendramodi is both desirous as well as working for reclaim India’s rightful role & place-hence hate!
But how does narrative affect any Govt - well look no further in history but at Iran or recently in Afghanistan. I stumbled upon a tweet thread by @AshkanTweets on media portrayal of Ayotollah leading upto 1979 revolution- check this video abt how west showed Iran then!
Read the quoted tweet and check this report as to how after US decided to abandon Shah of Iran and support Ayotollah of Iran; western media began making a villain out of Shah- this is one finest examples of how media narrative has been used by west to overthrow regimes/ Govts
Ronald Reagan, on record, said many times, how it was wrong on the part of Carter administration, to have played a role in overthrowing Shah regime; but then it was too late- media narrative had led people in Iran to support a brutal Izlamizt like Ayotollah!
Freedom of Indian media and the vibrant Indian democracy is the biggest Insurance that we have against all the games that western deep-state is playing against Modi Govt in India via media but reality is that people are prone to misinformation n disinformation campaigns- chk next
It is power of western media & their narrative that Shah becomes a dictator overnight,after he refuses to support west with cheap oil or a twice democratically elected PM remains a PM of Hindu nationalist party & biggest of em’all-Hitler is never identified as Xtian when he was!
Not long ago, someone tweeted a picture of Hitler holding a Bible in his hand - you won’t imagine how entire western media from AP to Reuters was engaged in doing the fact check - everyone jumped to denounce the image as photoshopped!
It was claimed that none such pic existed of Hitler - what they will NOT tell u is that how after his defeat - thanks to the directives laid out at the Yalta and Potsdam conferences of Allied powers, all propaganda material, photos, pictures or books etc were destroyed!
We all were made to believe that Hitler- born into a Catholic family- was an atheist when point no 24 of his Nazi party’s program clearly shows that Nazis were committed to positive Christianity! alphahistory.com/nazigermany/na…
Even the much mentioned Swatiska of Nazis was named as such by Church but in reality it was actually a HOOKED cross - check this amazingly researched piece by @Aabhas24
- also this book by Erwin Lutzer proves it/ fact buried by western media as swatiska! https://t.co/8DFazWmfnj
The western media and west that labels @narendramodi Govt as Hindu nationalist Govt of BJP, carefully erased all the memories of Hitler’s hobnobbing with church to help remove Jewish influences on Christian life- read this for more en.evangelischer-widerstand.de/html/view.php?…
Hitler, was on course to set up a German church on the lines of Russian Orthodox Church - he added 2 commandments to 10 and Entjudungsinstitut set up by him was instrumental in this project. Infact German Evangelical Church was also set up during his times- but he was ATHEIST!
Do read this paper titled Hitler, Himmler, and Christianity in the Early Third Reich- will give u some information as to how to call Hitler an atheist is part of propaganda to limit the blame of Holocaust to Atheist Hitler and NOT Catholic Hitler! digitalcommons.iwu.edu/cgi/viewconten…
Laughable that this same west n it’s media hand out certificates to all n sundry!
Another great thread worth reading on connection between Nazis and Xtianity
Imagine why would German ruled by an atheist Hitler open earlier closed churches in Soviet territory occupied by Germany - because he was NOT atheist but an Xtian!
Heavily catholic country Italy and a key Hitler ally -Mussolini -was a role model for Hitler- who kept his bust in his office. You know who was key Mussolini ally- Pope Pius XI & his Roman Catholic Church - so church supported both -Nazis & Fascists! npr.org/2015/04/24/401…
In 1933, an agreement was signed b/w German Holy See and the Third Reich & Pope Pius can be seen seated. This marriage of convenience helped both- Hitler used it as sign international approval of the Nazi regime & Vatican protected church’s interests.
All the reports of Jewish genocide was brushed under the carpet by Vatican by saying that Jews “easily exaggerate” and “Orientals”—a reference to Archbishop Sheptytsky—“are really not an example of honesty.”
Vatican dismissed every report of Holocaust as they believed that Jews “easily exaggerate”.
The docs that Vatican kept hidden from everyone while publishing this report in Pope’s defence vatican.va/archive/actes/… proves anti-Semitism of Catholic Church & their support to Nazis!

THREAD🧵: Madhu Kishwar vs Madhu Kishwar
When your 50-year-long compromised career is your biggest indictment!
Will you believe me, if I tell you that Kishwar was a Leftist Naxal when Naxalism peaked; became a Feminist when feminism peaked, was Anti-Ram Mandir when Hindutva was weak only to become pro-Hindutva warrior as BJP began ascending. Later she became pro @narendramodi when he was sure of winning in the run up to 2014.
And now, she Anti-Modi as she didn't get any favours, she was expecting on her own!
BTW, she had a small fling with UPA as well, writing "Dear Yasin Malik... With good wishes" after following Manmohan Singh's separatist engagement line post UPA's 2009 bigger mandate.
Hers is a story of wearing multiple identities in five decades: a smooth operator, bad liar and a worse propagandist- Lady Natwa
Let me first begin by sharing how I had warned about the intellectually fraudulent side of Madhu Kishwar way back in 2013 (check image 2).
Now that she has crossed all limits, the reality of this fraud @madhukishwar, who is hurling fake, baseless and motivated allegations against PM, @narendramodi must come out before everyone.
She has called PM Modi a "Satanic ruler," a "CIA plant," and a man with "personality disorders."
Let me remind everyone that in 2014, this same fraud wrote a 400-page book comparing the same PM Modi to Mahatma Gandhi, toured the country defending him, and fought for him so aggressively on television that the man she was attacking sued her for Rs 1 crore defamation. Now she is using allegations of that very man and as rejected by the SC to attack PM....
.....twelve years later.
Same person.
Same source.
Same allegations.
Nothing changed
........except her equation with power.
And the liar is basing her attacks on the SC-rejected allegations of the same Pradeep Sharma who sued her for defamation when she was defending Modi against him in 2013.....Again, same story repeats, same source, opposite sides, and 13 years apart.
What I am going to share is based on the court records, police FIRs, peer-reviewed academic papers, ED press releases, and her own published work.
It is important to set the record straight and for everyone to see.
Here comes a 🧵on the sordid saga of Madhu Kishwar with proofs at every stage!
KISHWAR's मौकापरस्ती PATTERN
Every major ideological shift in Kishwar's five-decade career has tracked where power, momentum, or institutional support was located at that time.
Not once has she been ahead of the curve. Consider this
>> She started as a Naxal sympathiser when Naxalbari was sweeping campuses.
>> She adorned the hat of a CPI(M)/SFI activist when the Left was the power centre.
>> She became a feminist leader through Manushi when the women's movement was cresting.
>> She was anti-Ram Janmabhoomi when Hindutva wasn't in power.
>> She turned pro-Hindutva when BJP started growing.
>> She followed UPA's separatist line after UPA won bigger in 2009.
>> She became Modi's biggest defender when his PM win was certain.
>> And now she turned into a most viciously lying attacker when the Rajya Sabha seat she expected never came.
Never ahead of the curve. Always riding it. And the moment the wave stopped carrying her, she found a new one.
KISHWAR'S NAXAL ORIGIN??
The woman who calls everyone "Urban Naxal" came from that exact world.
Two independent sources confirm her Naxal and CPI(M) origin.
Grokipedia documents her "participation in the Naxalbari movement and affiliation with the Communist Party of India (Marxist)."
Professor Shamsul Islam (Delhi University, The Quint 2020) independently confirmed that "Kishwar started her career with the Naxalbari movement and then went over to the CPM."
Two sources. Same conclusion. This is not anyone's allegation. This is documented record.
She was Miranda House Student Union President. SFI fielded her as DUSU candidate in 1972 (per Sunday Guardian). Later, she moved to JNU where Left was dominant in politics.
Her entire formative political education was in the CPI(M)/SFI ecosystem.
And today she has the audacity to call others "Urban Naxal." Madam, aap toh khud wahi se aayee hain!
And @NMenonRao, in her true parasitic self of a compromised Indian elite (most of them are like that actually) has exposed herself yet again……for the nth time…..
Before I start, let me tell you that Rao gets hefty pension at the cost of Indian taxpayers but always works for her real masters……ever since her famous Fujimori party escapade when rebels stormed Peruvian party thrown by then Peruvian President!
Man, this woman is a parasite to the core & sadly no vaccine exists to deal with parasites like hers!
Let me begin by requesting everyone to NOT make the mistake of reading @NMenonRao - @HinaRKhar exchange at face value.
If you do, you simply haven't understood how six decades of subcontinental geopolitics has always worked until @narendramodi happened in 2014 and the rules changed forever.
So what got exposed in reality- well this is something I would call "The Elite Asymmetry".
Often I have written about it because we Indians need to see the real games that are being played behind the scenes and how major section of the Indian elite has always sacrificed our interest at the altar of fellowships, think tank postings or western scholarships for their kids and themselves .
Rao-Khar exchange just proved it once again!
As against what @sushantsareen wrote, the exchange between Rao-Khar makes the fundamental difference between the Pakistani and Indian elite class crystal clear........
This phenomenon rarely gets discussed as it is carefully hidden under the cloak of appi jhappi punjabified nostalgia. Sadly, this is how our diplomacy played out on the world stage for longest of times and is the pain point of Rao as well.
Pakistan's elite, regardless of tone, stage, or audience, ALWAYS works in the direction of its state's strategic interest.
Compared to them, significant section of India's elite spends its energy working against its own government.
Chalo, samjhte hain kaise...
Congress and its supporters never tire of boasting about having a Cambridge PhD economist as PM while mocking PM @narendramodi's humble origins at the same time.
Well, since data doesn't lie so let us check 20 years of data on India's oil economy to find who ran India's ₹30 LAKH CRORE oil economy better : PM with Cambridge PhD degree or a PM with humble origins and who also sold chai once at the railway station...
Thread follows!
To set the context, let us look at what Cambridge educated PM inherited in 2004 from a Pracharak PM Vajpayee after his 6 years rule:
In line with Kelkar committee's recommendations, Vajpayee govt dismantled Administered Pricing Mechanism (APM) and made petrol pricing market linked.
Prices in Delhi when UPA took over:
☑️ Petrol: ₹33.71/L
☑️ Diesel: ₹21.74/L
☑️ LPG: ₹241/cylinder
Remember these numbers as they will tell you the reality of Cambridge educated PM the best!
How many of you that know that-
1) Despite APM being formally dismantled, Manmohan's government effectively brought back government controlled pricing through the back door? Yes you heard it right. 2) Instead of letting market pricing work (as ABV govt intended), UPA forced OMCs to sell below cost, thus creating massive "under-recoveries," and then compensated them by issuing oil bonds effectively kicking the bill to the future.
So by the time Manmohan Singh was kicked out by the voters in 2014, prices in Delhi rose to
If you ever happen to be near Astley Hall, Dehradun, pls find her and buy stuff from her to support her. She told me she sells variety of stuff until 11:30 night.
I felt I found her as I needed to meet one to help me extract out of the general disenchantment creeping within me
I had a brief chat with her after she approached me. I found something of my use in her box; more importantly I was interested in hearing her story. She is from Delhi, lives in a rented accommodation as both her sons died n now supports her by selling variety stuff to shop goers
Life is extremely uncharitable on some - but then it is the tenacity and the will that helps overcome problems one faces. To me, the highlight was the way she narrated her story with a smile on her face, with acceptance and recognition of her state, written over it.
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!
