Didn't anyone tell her that you don't look at a Muslim practice from feminism lens? In India, that's reserved only for Hindu beliefs. Now, liberals, feminists, Muslims and permutation & combination of all three are after her. Check replies to her.
- There's only one reason this poor animal was publicly butchered.
- Its the same reason why Muslim terrorists and Indian left, liberal jamaat use the 'gau mutra' jibe.
- Hatred for Hindus.
- And to show them their place by defiling what's dear to them.
The funniest part of the debate about #HijabisOurRight is the green-on-green. Let me explain - I saw one Muslim lady comment that why are clothes of these Muslim girls used as litmus test? Why can't they leave it outside the school and continue their studies? Why should they +
+ have to suffer because of what men want them to wear and defend? Do men fight to wear Muslim skull caps to school? Well, guess who took strong objection to this argument? A lot of Muslim women, and men, of course. Both of whim accused her of not knowing anything about +
+ Islam. And that she should keep her mouth shut.
- As expected, petition has been filed to allow Hijab in school. Apart from other arguments, it says that wearing Hijab "constitutes as an essential and integral part of Islam"
- Now, going by precedence, this might not be the case or hold-up in court

- In 2016, SC had upheld the sacking of an IAF personnel who had kept beard against service rules. It agreed keeping beard is not an essential feature of Islam.
- In fact, if memory serves me right, it even quipped that the lawyer of the said person, himself being a Muslim +
+ had not kept a beard. So, how could he argue that keeping beard is essential tenet of Islam?
- Some links to the case -

- So, there were not one, but two petitioners who were sacked from the IAF.

- Kerala government has disallowed not only hijab but full sleeves as well in their experimental Student Police Cadets schools.
"The government took the firm stand that adding religious symbols to uniforms would be inappropriate"

- In my personal opinion, there should've be any problem with head scarves.
- But the problem is this - Where does this exceptionalism end?
- Tomorrow, someone will ask for wearing a Burqa, and full face veil.
- Someone might ask for break to offer Friday Namaaz.
+
+ Then you could get a demand for a prayer room in the school itself.
- So, where does this stop?
Azad Hind Fauj & Secularism
- The secular jamaat does not tire from lecturing that Bose's INA had a motto of "Ittehad, Itmad aur Qurbani" (Unity, Faith & Sacrifice)
- And that us lesser mortals, Sanghis, do not follow his secularism.
- Lets do a small test of this secularism.

Another Islamist mocking Hindu students in name of cow and cow-dung. Pulwama bomber had also made the gau-mutra jibe. Image
SRK offers prayers during last rites of #LataMangeshkar ji, and the whole secular crowd goes into ecstasy - 'Our idea of India'. What is so special about it? That he's a Muslim? Did people say the same thing when AB went to Dilip Kumarji's funeral? And +
+ what about the fact that he and other Khans are superstar because millions of fans, mostly Hindus, love and adore them? Did they look into their religious background before lining-up to buy the ticket to their movies? When you reduce secularism, and idea-of-India to a sham +
+ like this, that's when people start getting doubts on the whole concept of secularism.
If the Kerala HC judgement about Hijab and school uniform is used as reference, this issue not about secularism. But simply an individual's rights versus that of an institution. HC said Institution's right are superior.
This pile of shit wants to have paratha & beef curry in Mathura. Bastards like him are more dangerous that Islamic terrorists. Those are upfront about their views. Urban Naxals like him live within. Image
This #HijabRow has finally got me to understand what's this faux secularism at its most fundamental level:
- It basically guaranteed same conditions as existing in Pakistan/Islamic State within India for those who supported but could not go to Pakistan.
- 50% of outrage factory on Twitter is courtesy just genius journalists who absolutely lack in common sense, logic or reasoning.
- A private school can run its business as it wants. Is any Muslim student being forced to chant Hanuman Chalisa?
- All the Rana Ayyub types would be feeling so glad inside. I mean, so much to outrage about, so many topics on which to write articles, give interviews, make money!
- Really Acche Din for them 😂
What's with guilt-tripping others because Muslim society by itself is unable to progress? And if the girls themselves are saying that Hijab is more important than Kitab, and that its a matter of their choice, why bring in this new angle?
#HijabRow Image
Hijab is a choice, Yo!
#HijabRow Image
For 30+ years, no one told their story. Kashmiri Pandit genocide was an inconvenient truth for Nehru's secularism, to be swept under the carpet. Finally, when someone did tell their story, the dam of emotion has burst. #TheKashmirFiles
All the hosannas about the Constitution, Secularism and Law are only till a point where they permit carrying on with Muslim lives as per Shariat. Otherwise, its call communal.
[India, that is Bharat]
- During Hijab row, an article I read said that India isn't a secular country because aspects related to Hinduism, like say Sarasvati Vandana, are passed off as cultural aspects, while every aspect of Muslim's life is related to their religion.
+
+
- If you think about this statement, if resembles pretty much what the Left, Liberal & secular crowd wants you to believe about India.
- They view Bharat as a mere piece of land, which has been populated by Hindus, Muslims, Christians, and others through migration.
+
+
- Ergo, it doesn't have one common, overarching religious and cultural thread running through it.
- India for them is like a milkshake with various ingredients thrown into it.
- Secularism was meant to serve two purposes
(a) Create an environment for Muslim community to +
+ preserve its exclusive nature by allowing Shariat to trump over common laws.
(b) Deny Bharat its Hindu identity.
- Come to think of it, that's why the Aryan Invasion, and subsequently, the Aryan Migration Theory are also important.
- They reinforce the belief that this land+
+ has been populated by 'outsiders' from the very start, who also brought with them what we know as Sanatan Dharma.
- So, nothing knowledgeable or worthwhile has come from this land.
- In the same vein, the murderous and genocidal onslaught of Islamic hordes over the centuries +
+ including the Mughals, is nothing out of ordinary.
- I mean, after all, our ancestors were also outsiders, and did the same with 'Moolnivasis'.
- Long story short, the whole charade is to deny this land its Hindu roots, its Hindu culture, and its Hindu identity.
+
+ A poet hadsaid - किसी के बाप का हिंदुस्तान थोड़ी है (India doesn't belong to anyone's father)
- Actually, it does.
- It belongs to all those who identify it as their matribhoomi and not mere real estate.
- Our roots come from this sacred land, and our ashes will merge with it.
#KashmirFiles

- @vivekagnihotri has red-pilled a large population which is now seeking details about this genocide beyond the #KashmirFiles movie.
- People are looking for truth, for data, for article, even images of Pandit genocide. Image
- The stories of victims of this reprehensive event, like Girija Tickoo, BK Ganjoo, and others are finally reaching the masses.
- People are searching about details of these victims and their stories.
- The brutalities hidden for so long are coming forth.
#KashmirFiles Image
+
- And they're also searching about the perpetrators of this violence like Yasin Malik, and Bitta Karate aka Farooq Ahmed Dar.
- People want to know what happened to these people.
- I'm sure many would be flabbergasted to know that these murderers are still alive.
#KashmirFiles Image
+
- Apart from those who committed physical violence on Kashmir Pandits, people are also searching about those who provide intellectual cover for these crimes, and whitewash them.
- And brainwash India's students about ground reality and nurture tukde-tukde gangs.

The trend below is for the following search item -
"yasin malik with manmohan singh"
- As they say, you can run, but cannot hide. Especially in the day of internet. Remember, internet never forgets. Image
- Basically, @vivekagnihotri has laid bare a horrible reality which our intellectual, and left, liberal, secular and Islamist jamaat had buried, and whitewashed for so long.
- Now, people want to know more about this event. About the victims, the perpetrators +

- The movie has unleashed something much bigger. A large section of India's population is now red-pilled.

कितना जहर भरा हुआ है कुछ लोगों मे।
Person of the book! Books which have amazing similarity when it comes to sermons about dealing with non-believers. Image
Correction - "Halal is a [RELIGIOUS] food-standard certification. Which others are FORCED to follow."
- It is also discriminatory because pushes people from non-Muslim background out of the meat industry. Image
- Implicit in this order is an understanding that one side will resort to violence if the exclusivity given to it under the garb of secularism is withdrawn or disturbed.
- No one checked with others if they want to hear the prayers 5-times a day.
India's secular & liberal jamaat can lecture only Hindus to sing 'Ishwar Allah Tere Naam'. The moment they try and lecture this to others, they get a quick realty check. ImageImage
- In all these 'this is my India' stories, you'll have a Hindu going out of his way to show sensitivity towards a Muslim's belief.
- Basically, the onus on preserving such an ideal is only on Hindus, and they've to time & again prove it by ceding space.
Indian foot-soldier providing international masters with ready headlines for tomorrow. Image
"Regardless of their actions, Muslims have a monopoly on victimhood while Hindus are the perpetual perpetrators because their very existence is provocative"
- A hard hitting piece by @sreemoytalukdar
- Must read:
firstpost.com/opinion/hindus…
- Some on left are quoting this image as a symbol of secularism for rest of India.
- Actually, if the Army's version of secularism is implemented, the same left will shout communalism from rooftops.
- Lets see:
>No special privilege to anyone basis his/her religion
>No Azaan + Image
+ on loudspeakers.
> Everyone participates in all religious festivals
> Except for Sikhs, no one gets to keep facial hair and display ANY markers of your religious identity.
> Can't just roll out your prayer mat and offer prayers any where or during duty hours.
> If a large +
+ number of troops are pure vegetarians (I saw this with some Jat troops), then they get to have a separate kitchen.
> If in the pic you see Hindu officers offering Namaaz, its equally common, and more so, for Muslim officers to keep fast with their Hindu troops and participate +
+ as one of them.
> An officer's identity is his battalion/regiment, and his troops.
> So, a South Indian posted to Rajput Regiment is a Rajput, a Bengali posted to Gorkhas is a Gorkha and a Punjabi in Madras Regiment is Madrasi.
> They absorb every cultural and religious aspect+
+ of their troops.
- So, think before taking one instance out of the way army goes about its business and holding it as an example for others.
- Because its part of a package. You'll have to take the rest of it as well, and you may not like it.
- This is not even funny any more.
- Communal harmony means allowing a mosque to blare Azaan over loudspeaker, 5-times a day.
- Asking for loudspeaker to be removed or volume to be lowered will somehow disrupt this harmony.

This professor has deliberately quoted an absolutely unverified story about demolition of Kashi Vishwanath Mandir. The story is from a book by B. P Sitaramayya, an old Congress hand and has no factual backing.
+
ndtv.com/india-news/luc…
- The story goes that a princess was robbed and possibly violated by the priests within the premises of the temple, and on request of Hindu nobles accompanying Aurangzeb, he ordered its demolition as a mark of punishment.
- And what is the back-up for this story? Read on: Image
- That some Muslim personnel has a rare manuscript describing this story, who had agreed to share the manuscript with a Muslim friend of the author (B.P. Sitaramayya) but died w/o doing the needful!
- Basically, no one has seen this manuscript or its contents.
+
+ It is nothing but a concocted story which has been repeated by our leftist historians and has gone unchallenged for a very long time.
- People who demanded proof about Lord Ram had no hesitation in quoting this fabricated story to further their agenda.
+
+ Please read this excellent, detailed piece by @Koenraad_Elst on busting the myth(s) around demolition of Kashi Vishwanath Mandir.
dharmadispatch.in/history/explod…
As per this genius, spreading fake stories like is upholding secularism. But come to think of it, this fake secularism has been upheld by such fake stories.
(PS: Scroll-up in this thread to see the fake story peddled by this professor)
After maids and drivers sharing political & economic wisdom, we've these sob-stories where invariably a Hindu goes out of his way to show deference to Muslim sentiments. @NAN_DINI_ Image
"It is quite clear that Hindus and Musalmans derive their inspiration from different sources of history. They have different epics, different heroes and different episodes. Very often the hero of one is a foe of the other" - Jinnah Image
Absolutely clear and unapologetic pronunciation of Hindu POV on temple issue, Owaisi junior visiting Aurangzeb's burial place and on renaming of certain roads, and landmarks. Good to see this clarity in one of BJP's key politician.
- Hindus have legally reclaimed only one temple.
- Yet, she says she's living a nightmare.
- Imagine the horror that Hindus had to live through for centuries when their temples were looted, defiled, destroyed and to further humiliate the Hindus, masjids were made on top of them. Image
- And what is worse is that in cases like Gyanvapi Mosque/Kashi Vishwanath temple, and Mathura, to this day, Hindus can see the remains of their destroyed temples where now mosques stand.
- In spite of knowing the reality, no Muslim has ever offered to return them to Hindus. Image
The most vile of abuses and derogatory stuff towards Hindus, Hindu God, and Hinduism comes from some handles who pretend to be anti-caste, and have written Ambedkarite in their bio.
- Some of them are on a different plane altogether!
- This wet dream of pitting Bahujan samaaj against 'upper caste' and cause infighting amongst Hindus is quite pervasive amongst Islamists and Left.
- It hurts them no-end in seeing Bahujan samaaj steadfast in its Hindu identity. Image
As if her forefathers got the land, building material, manpower and money to build Red Fort from Turkey! Image
- With due respect to the professor @ARanganathan72 , the FOE debate from a Hindu's perspective is not about absolute FOE.
- Hindus are simply asking that 'sensitivity' that is shown when it comes to other religions, be shown to Hindu beliefs as well.
- FOE should not be a tool applied selectively to denigrate Hindu beliefs, their customs, their gods and all that they hold sacred.
- Hinduism by its very nature is open to debate and critique.
- Same goes for Hindu society. It has evolved with time, and will evolve further.
+
+ Neither Hindus nor Hindu society is against critique or debate.
- But the same secularism hides somewhere when it comes critiquing Muslim or Christian beliefs, religion and societies.
- Threat of violence and other coercive methods are enough to make this secularism go and +
+ hide somewhere.
- The same Professor Ratan Lal who thinks it his right to use derogatory language against Hindu beliefs, knows that if he dare make any comment on Islam or Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), slogans of 'Sar Tan Se Juda....' will start airing across the country.
+
+ And it is highly likely that someone might send him to meet his maker like Kamlesh Tiwari.
- All that some Hindus have done is file a police complaint and are using the law available to them.
- However, if threat of street power, and not rule of law decides how champions of +
+ secularism and FOE exercise their privilege of free speech, with State being a mute spectator, then it is wrong to except only Hindus to do the heavy lifting.
- God knows how many temples can be claimed back, but we should do this.
- Each structure should have details of the original Hindu structure, who destroyed it & when.
- Plus, clearly highlight remnants of original structure so that present generation can see & know the reality.
This is nothing but a deliberate act of defiance. The religion is above the nation and national identity.

When it comes to Islam, the so called 'liberal' Muslim will stand with so called Islamists in defending it against even genuine critique. Compare this with a section of Hindus; they'll piss on Hinduism just to appear liberal and woke. And they'll also stand with Islamists. Image
When Shivling was discovered inside Gyanvapi mosque, Twitter was flooded with derogatory tweets about Bholenath and Shivling(s) by Muslim handles. That somehow did not appear communal & insensitive to her because playing victim on religious grounds is reserved for only one group. Image
- Never mind that BGT was 15 when he got married and at 13 years, MG was actually one year younger to Kasturba at the time of their marriage.
- But the point is this: No one is going to take offence or wish death upon anyone for pointing this out. Image
(1) Arfa "The liberal, secular & freedom of speech champion": When it comes to supporting people who've made derogatory remarks about Hindu gods.
(2) Arfa "The pious Muslim": When it comes to factual observation about Prophet Mohammad. Image
- One could argue that by expelling #NupurSharma, BJP has taken one on the chin to safeguard Indian interests in ME.
- But, what BJP/GOI has also done is to make an external party a stakeholder in domestic issues.
- What if tomorrow Arab states start reacting in a hostile manner+
+ if the #GyanvapiMosque is reclaimed as Kashi Vishwanath Temple? Or, against NRC, CAA or Uniform Civil Code?
- Remember, you cannot placate the Islamists. Never.
- Every demand that you meet, will be met by a new demand. That is how Pakistan happened.
+
+ The Islamists and their 'secular' friends in India have now tasted blood.
- They've a template which they will now try to replicate at every instance.
- This will not end here.
- How many concessions will you keep on giving?
Now wait for every tom, dick and harry to say that Qatar kicked India in the nuts, and India capitulated. Islamists can get away with most horrendous remarks on Hinduism and GOI can't do diddly squat but bends backwards when even finger is raised by a Muslim country #NupurSharma
- Indian Government just labeled its ex-spokesperson as a fringe element!
- By that extension, each one of us who takes umbrage at denigration of Hinduism by Islamists, and point out their double standards, are fringe elements.
In 20+ years of supporting BJP, I've never felt more let down. And this is no Narendra Modi. No one else. We've just made Islamists sitting outside of India as stakeholder in Indian politics. I hope I'm wrong but this will not end here.
#NupurSharma
Desi secular & Islamists can insult Hindu beliefs & gods all they want. But the moment a Hindu says anything in response, even when it is true, he/she needs to be ready to offer an apology. But remember, there will be no such apology from Islamists.
Hello GOI, India's leading crusader against communalism has a list of many more 'fringe elements' in your party @BJP4India. Same as #NupurSharma. Please do the needful and expel them as well. Will get you more brownie points amongst the Arabs. Image
He's now directly corresponding with a foreign power. And expects it to become the guarantor of Muslims in India. Now, where have we heard this before? 🤔 Image
As I sad, it will not end with #NupurSharma Image
Such is the humiliation #NupurSharma has had to face by her own party @BJP4India that 2-bit real estate brokers masquerading journalist are now giving moral lectures.
Bhartiya nahin, Secular Janata Party! Image
- I'm told that when dealing with #NupurSharma issue, I need to think about India's oil import, Indians working in ME and geopolitics.
- If these are the constituencies that GOI and BJP needs to take into account, then they also need to remember that I'm also a +
+ constituency. As a long time BJP supporter and voter, I'm also a stakeholder.
- And its time BJP stops taking this constituency for granted.
- Why should only one set should be expected to adjust the concerns of every other stakeholder?
This is actually a very legitimate question. Don't be surprised if BJP does that, citing concerns from Muslim countries. And that day, BJP will be finished.
Please say 'Sant' Jarnail Singh Bhindrawale lest someone from BJP might file a case against you for hurting religious sentiments.
This is the humiliation which BJP has subjected to its supporters. And as I said before, this will not end here. You've given them a foot in the door. Now wait for more such abuse.
Like Zoo Bear, if she tags some Arab countries, the BJP government at Center might ask UP government to set these peaceful protestors free. After all, they were peacefully protesting against comments by a fringe element of the party.

#RussianUkrainianWar - Tank in modern warfare & Indian context.
- Pictures of destroyed Russian T-series tanks in Ukraine have raised questions about the viability of tanks in modern warfare. Again.
- And people are questioning their relevance in Indian context as well.
+
- 1st, I don't take the no about Russian tanks loses in Ukraine at face value.
- There is a 'famous' blog which has been documenting these loses, and to be honest, its far less than convincing.
- There is just too much western propaganda out there on the subject.
+
+
[Tanks versus missiles]
- ATGM vs Tank debate has existed even since the Egyptians surprised Israeli armor during Yom Kippur War using the Russian AT-3 'Swagger (9M14 'Malyutka')
- Israelis lost ~800 tanks during the war and the ATGM accounted for 20%-25% of these loses.

(A) Phalodi Air Force Base
- Someone time back my friend @orbatnoob_3 had highlighted how the IAF Base in Phalodi was nicely coming-up.
- In this thread 🧵, I'll show how this base fills a critical gap in IAF's infrastructure in Western Sector.
+
+
- As the map below shows, IAF's bases form a chain with each base separated by 130-150km.
- These are India's first line of air-defense against intruding Pakistan Air Force fighters, base for conducting strike inside Pakistan and to provide ground support in their sector.
+
+
- These bases are so sited so as to deny PAF access to India's hinterland.
- But as the map shows, there are two geographical gaps in this chain.
- 1st: Jaisalmer(1)-Bikaner(2) (265km)
- 2nd: Bhuj-Barmer (360km if I trace a path inside India territory - curved red arrow).

I know 15 Light Combat Helicopters don't sound much but consider this - against a period when we'd about 25 Mi-24/35, today we have:
- Mi-35 (10-12)
- Apache (22)
- Rudra (~90 between IA+IAF)
Total: 120 with 15 LCH to join soon. ImageImageImageImage
Consider this:
- Earlier, the 2 x Mi-24/35 squadrons of the IAF were married to a Strike Corps each.
- Now, each Pivot Corp has a Rudra gunship.
- As more LCH enter service, each Corps will have Rudra + LCH combination.
- That's 20+ attack helicopters where there were none. Image
- Dhruv, Rudra and now LCH - this a silent revolution which I can't emphasize enough.
- Best part is that it represents an increment in capability where we had none earlier.

[Chinese Army - PLA Ground Forces]
- News, information and analysis of the China's PLA Ground Forces.
- When you study the Chinese Army you realize there is nothing earth shattering about it.
- The Chinese have focused on getting the basics right.
- Their first focus was on stabilizing production and adding relatively modern equipment compared to what they were operating earlier+
+ And how did they add these modern systems?
- Well, they simply copied the Russian, and some western technology on a massive scale.
- Rocket artillery?
- Lets buy few samples of Russian Smerch and then just copy them!
- And BM-21 GRAD copies as well.
(PS: And export as well)

Chinese a/c production (source:@Chopsyturvey)
- A common strategy between PLAAF, PLA Army and PLAN was to initially focus on mastering production and building numbers.
- First, they got Su-27SK from Russia, which was named J-11.
- Soon, J-11B followed, where the Chinese added +
+ their own stuff, and removed dependence on the Russians.
- There are more J-11B/BS, than the original Russian imported Su-27SK/J-11.
- Today, J-11B form the largest component of PLAAF.
+
+
- While copying Su-27SK into J-11B, the Chinese still went ahead and imported almost 100 Su-30MKK because it offered much more improved technology than legacy Su-27SK that they were copying.
- They never lost sight of the quality, and quantity aspect.

As Indians get a reality check about Kashmir on watching #KashmirFiles, there's one more reality check - How close we came to losing the valley. And how the security forces, especially the army, brought the situation under control through sheer guts & blood. Thread ⬇️
- Starting from 1989-90, the inflow of Pakistan backed terrorists in Kashmir reached unprecedented levels.
- Early 90s had 'liberated areas' in downtown Srinagar.
- Terrorists roamed in bands of 10s and 20s with a healthy mix of Afghans, and other nationalities.
- Remember him?
- While trying to find their feet, security forces (SF) suffered casualties.
- But soon, terrorist to security forces casualties ratio started climbing reaching 7:1 when SF killed 1,651 terrorists in 1994.
- Watershed elections of 1996 in J&K happened on back of success of SFs +
