This is not first time non-profit NPR and its Indian correspondent promoting anti-India sentiments. There is history of controversies over left-leaning media house, funded by George Soros & other like minded.
NPR acknowledged that receiving funds from OSF is controversial, yet they found it 'worthy'. Incidentally the funds were received on same day NPR fired Sr. Political Analyst Juan Williams for making perceived anti-MusI¡m remark in an interview on questioning on 9/11. 2/
In 2019, NPR's Delhi producer Furkan Khan was made to resign after social media outrage over her extremely derogatory anti-Hinduism tweet (which she later deleted & apologised). Read that tweet yourself (P2) 3/
As per Pew Research, NPR does left biased reporting, though it claims to be unbiased. It mainly attributed govt & pro-left org funded.
NPR is also accused of anti-Israel & supporting Palestine teπor¡st. One of reporting watchdog CAMERA consider NPR as most biased media. 4/
Due to its left propoganda, worth noting, Trump admin proposed to cut all fundings to NPR, though it didn't go through. NPR considerably spent on 'lobbying' for political lobbying and have spent $8.2mn since 1998, revealed OpenSecrets investigation. 5/
Star of the day, Lauren Frayer - current correspondent of NPR for India, is obviously no exception to NPR's narrative propaganda. She is one of flag bearer who campaigned against BJP/Modi in general election 2019. 6/
All her Covid reporting continued to be heavily biased, even cherry picking researchers to malign India's image, with infamous funeral pyre picture, however missed to highlight the better side of crisis management. 7/
All of her articles will give glimpse of any typical left media houses. e.g. Frayer observed that Protesters that carried out 26/1 riots at Red Fort is "storm in capital" and "overshadowed traditional military parade". Check her other articles, just headlines are good enough! 8/
Now check how Frayer mocked the plight of victims of LoveJ¡had. Its simply a meet-propose-accused for her. She supposedly blind 100s fell for web-of-lies. Despite knowing that why govt are bringing anti conversion laws to its core. 9/
#LaurenFrayer is white synonym of Ayyubs & Thapars, who enables anti-India image to the world, right sitting in India. A pawn of Int'nal lobbies work overtime to sell preferred narrative because India is biggest threat for their shaking economical & geopolitical supremacy. 10/

Check out informative/researched threads through hashtag: #TheHawkEyeThread
Update: After social media outrage, Frayer deleted the tweet as she found it now "insensitive"!

₹ 35,30,346 Cr (35 lakh crore): The commutative amount has been transferred directly to the valid beneficiary account (DBT).
Had it been the Congress era, 85% i.e. ₹30 lakh crore would have vanished to corrupt mediators.
1/
₹30L Cr is an estimated loss based on former PM Rajiv Gandhi's infamous quote. In other words, this is ~60% of India's today's budget. Imagine the level of corruption, that even the PM confessed, unofficial commission, fake ID beneficiaries, duplicities & other means.
2/
Though DBT was initiated in 2013 (parting MMS govt), it was systematically expanded by the Modi govt.
For the success of DBT, first & foremost need is a bank a/c. Govt launched the massive PM Jan Dhan Yojana, under which 52cr a/c were opened (56% women & 67% in rural/suburb) 3/
I can float a party and can promise a plot on moon for everyone. Interestingly, I don't have to explain my technical or economical plan, neither I would have any fear of consequences if I (obviously) won't be able to do it.

In the high octane election in India, ppl hardly care about manifestos & so the parties. Nonetheless it is best reflection of intent & vision of the party.
Problem is almost no constitutional compulsion or scrutiny of promises being even technically feasible.
2/
First of all the word "guarantee" is highly misleading. I'd personally go with Kapil Sibal who said using this word itself is unconstitutional. No one can guarantee anything but only can try. BJP, Congress or AAP, all parties failed here.

The other day I went to a party wearing my favourite Wildstone deo. My host (name withheld) introduced me to someone. The rest is history.

This morning I was feeling a little dull. Then I brushed my teeth with Colgate Max and blew my breath at a random girl. In general, you would have got a slap in such a case, but here that girl started dancing with me.

And here if you are born with an average look and dark skin, you just need to apply fair and lovely and handsome, which will change your look & skin colour good enough to be acceptable in society.
@DrSJaishankar referred Nehru's foreign policy (India second, China first). Congress spox @LavanyaBallal used derogatory remarks and denying the charges.
Here are two historical evidences that India was indeed offered permanent seat for UNSC but Nehru denied.
1/
The 1950 American Offer:
US: we offer unseating of China as a Permanent Member in the Security Council and of India being put in her place.
JLN: We shall go on pressing for China's admission in the UNSC. India is certainly entitled, but not at cost of China.
2/
The 1955 Soviet Offer:
USSR: we propose India's inclusion as the 6th member of the UNSC.
JLN: We feel that this should not be done till the question of China's admission is first solved. I feel that we should first concentrate on getting China admitted.
Supreme court & petitioner and that journalist (which I still believe is just a front face) has royally screwed up the Electoral Bond scheme and its' purpose.
Let me explain, how -
1/
Quid-Pro-Quo: Think for a moment, if center govt wanted to use it for kickbacks, bribes and commissions which payment mode would have been better? Cash or EB!
2/
Agencies as weapons: If the central ruling party has received 6K Cr for Q-P-Q, opposition parties have also received 16K Cr. Why would corporate bet on them if they know oppsn doesn't control CBI/ED?
