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
- By making this movie, @vivekagnihotri has not only brought forth a brutal reality, but more & more Indians are now searching for and reading about Kashmiri Pandits and their genocide.
- This🧵analysis 30day Google Trends data.
- Movie was released on 11 March.
+ Image
+
- @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.
#KashmirFiles Image
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 +
#KashmirFiles Image
+ and their enablers.
- The movie has unleashed something much bigger. A large section of India's population is now red-pilled.

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.

"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.
theprint.in/india/assam-re…
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.
- FIR filed against #NupurSharma in Mumbai and Hyderabad. In Mumbai, its being filed by someone from Raza Academy.
- The same Raza Academy which led protests in 2012 in Mumbai in support of Rohingyas which led to arson & destruction of property.
- Well done, BJP! Image
Liberal and secular jamaat like her know that the blowback is coming. Hindus have been pushed around so much, that opinions now stand hardened. She's not saying all this for the love of Hinduism, but to cover herself from the what's to come. Image
Reposting this again - Even she knows the storm is coming. Till they'd a open season for abusing Hindus, it was OK. Suddenly, when the pushback starts happening, it becomes a tricky terrain? Image
Karma is a four-legged female dog! Image
- The cinema chain said it made the decision "to ensure the safety of our staff and customers".
- Secularism in full flow in multi-cultural UK.
- Sometime back Asaduddin Owaisi was talking about installing cameras in mosques so that when Hindus attack them, it can be recorded.
- I think we should also record what is said in these mosques during & after prayers so that people can known the reality.
God knows I'm still pissed with BJP and Modi Government for the way #NupurSharma case has been handled by them. But having said all that I did, this is not the time to give up on Modi ji as a leader. Because we cannot fail or the whole nation will be ripped apart. Starting from +
+ Shaheen Bagh to Farmer's Protest to Delhi riots to earlier 'spontaneous assault' on Ramnawmi processions, Hijab row, all are desperate measures to stoke the fault-lines, and somehow bring down this government. I've said this before as well that Congress and its backers are +
+ ready to burn down the country to get back into power. The latest series of protests on what #NupurSharma had said, both internal and external, are simply an extension of earlier efforts to stoke communal fire and create massive internal chaos. Criticize by all means, like +
+ I did, but this is not the time to break the rank. My tweets are there if you scroll-up; I did use pretty harsh language. I was very angry and upset. And I'm still upset even if I buy the theory that it was done to quickly put down the coordinated external assault on India +
+ using #NupurSharma as an excuse. Simply because it could've been handled better. The use of 'fringe element' for her is something I will never agree to. But all said & one, hold the course, and don't break rank. We need united front against these internal & external challenges.
Translation:
- Hindus have stopped taking shit from Islamists and India's deracinated, secular, liberal jamaat. It now gives back in the same coin.
- Ergo, Hindus are no longer nice people like earlier times who used to meekly surrender in front of Islamists and secular jamaat. Image
- Zoo Bear, and his secular, liberal sidekicks thought they'd achieved a massive victory in #NupurSharma case.
- What they forgot is the natural love of their fellow Islamists for violence.
- Todays violence & calls for murdering Nupur Sharma has turned the whole case on its head Image
इब्तिदा ए इश्क़ है रोता है क्या,
आगे आगे देखिए होता है क्या.
Image
- This is on Zoo-Bear, and Indian secular, liberal crowd which acts as sidekicks of Islamists.
- You thought you were being clever by half by tagging your Arab fathers.
- Well guess what? You've ended up exposing the Islamist poison within India.
- Your comeuppance will also come Image
These commonsensical tweets are coming about because secular, liberal crowd knows that they've lost the narrative battle because of street violence by Muslims. This violence vindicates #NupurSharma on intolerance debate. Last lines of both the tweets tell you where the pain lies. Image
This is nothing but an attempt to cover their arse. Because they know that Maulanas during debate can't hold their tongue, will openly support calls for 'Sar Tan Se Juda' and this puts a spoke in their propaganda of 'Hindutva Intolerance'. Image
Media's favorite go-to-actor on Secularism debate turns out to be just another shade of a rank Islamist 😂
😂🤣😂
By putting out threat of violence, eager beavers like him destroyed the carefully crafted narrative of Islamophobia and Muslims under prosecution in India. On top of it, it leads to consolidation in Hindu ranks. No wonder secular jamaat is pissed.
Secular, liberal Jamaat versus Islamist Jamaat on Twitter on Friday violence. Image
In mental gymnastic worthy of an Olympic gold, our friend here just equated the act of people asking for a person's beheading, and public hanging with people acted against under due process of law.
What has the world come to? People can't protest against evil, fascist, Yindoo BJP even in People's Republic of Kerala? Hence, the Mudi must rezine!
- This on Zoo Bear and Co.
- They wanted to hurt the government in the name of Islam and Muslims, and they've ended up jeopardizing the livelihood of Muslims.
Waiting for some genius to say that shouts for beheading #NupurSharma by these Kashmiri women is because Modi revoked Article 370.
Rana Ayyub has the best business model. Speak truth to power while enjoying holidays in an expensive resort. Or, while flying first class to attend conferences in 5 star hotels on rising intolerance in India. The foot soldiers in the meanwhile are getting their houses demolished.
Lady police official is holding this pious, hijabi Muslim lady by her hijab in the People's Republic of Kerala! Another sign of growing intolerance in India due to Modi. Image
By involving the international community, or better, by doing the bidding of international players, some of these chaps most likely crossed a line. Just a guess but I think there will be repercussions.
One of the those weird days when a Pakistani Maulana speaks truth and makes more sense than Indian Islamists and their left, liberal jamaat side-kicks.
Only people having faced something similar are Hindus of Indian sub-continent. From 1947 massacres to ethnic cleansing in Bangladesh in 1971 and thereafter, to being completely wiped off Afghanistan. Guess, what ideology was common in all the cases?
Will people get a refund from Rana Ayyub who bought her fantasy novel thinking its investigative journalism?
A Hindu has been beheaded by Islamists and these Islamists are absolutely clear that they've done it in the name of their Prophet and Islam. However, the usual suspects are out monkey balancing and trying to pin this on 'Hindutva'.
#Udaipur
Exhibit 1:
- This bugger can't even bring himself to say that a Hindu has been killed by two Islamists and even here he is trying to pin the blame equally on Hindus. Image
Exhibit 2:
- This shithead also doesn't have the guts to call out the Islamists.
- Idiots like him are worried about their own safety and their image as beacons of 'secularism' and 'liberalism' which automatically means not to blame Islamists for their acts. Image
Exhibit 3:
- Doesn't mention that the person beheaded was a Hindu.
- And that he was beheaded.
- The killers are openly proclaiming that they beheaded him for insulting Prophet Muhammad.
- But what does our brave journalist says - He was killed for supporting Nupur Sharma! Image
Exhibit 4:
- Unless you knew the background here, going by his post, it would seem its just another murder in some part of India. Image
Exhibit 5:
- This fellow takes the cake!
- Islamists beheading a Hindu is against because of Hindus.
- Someone ask him - What lynching had been done by folks at Charlie Hebdo? Or, who had the French school teacher lynched because of which he was killed by Islamists? Image
Exhibit 6 -
- Doesn't even offer a formal sympathy for the man beheaded by Islamists or a cursory condemnation.
- He's more worried about 'Sanghis' benefitting from this incident. Image
Exhibit 7 -
- What do you do with such cases? Image
- Thousands have been killed in the name of Islam.
- Every time one more non-Muslim is killed by Islamists, we get the same lecture from other Muslims: This is not Islam!
- Well, go and tell that to your co-religionists who kill in the name of Islam. Which they won't.
#Udaipur
Exhibit 8:
- Inki bhi fhat-ti hai openly condemn karne mein.

#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.

(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.

- 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.
