BBC selected Jagti Township at Jammu, where "residents" are criticizing the film as a 'political stunt gearing up for 2024'. Let this be clear that this location & these 3-4 ppl are not randomly picked. There is a specific agenda behind it.
2/
Vid started with a 'resident' Shadilal Pandita (accompanied by a few), who happens to be society president. Currently, he is leading a protest against govt for relief demand supported by local Congress. He appears to be staunch anti-BJP by his SM posts & public interviews. 3/
Another person who delivered the 'tissue paper' dialogue is Sunil Pandita, a local 'India Against Corruption' activist. He shared similar views about the film on social media & the rest is history. Check the harsh comments he received from FELLOW KPs from the vicinity. 4/
The lady was shot purposefully in front of the society plaque which is inaugurated by then PM Manmohan Singh & Omar Abdullah. We shall not focus today on the corruption & favoritism charges on the flats allocation that eventually led to evict notices to many illegal occupants. 5/
The point here is not individual's political views, which they are free to have. But do they really represent the whole of KPs community as projected by BBC?
As a matter of fact, forget community, they don't even represent the views of their fellow Jagti residents. How?
6/
Evidentially Jagti residents promoted the film by distributing free tickets! If it is not enough, today (20-Mar) Jagti residents had a bike rally in support of the film, read- to protest against those "KP rep" shot in BBC video. (Listen that slogan in the orig post) 7/
With the same confused mind that many of us had about "what's the reality & motive of BBC report", here it is excerpts of interaction with a few of Jagti's residents. Spend two mins to read the raw views. (Identity cant be revealed, so this section is at readers' discretion). 8/
Apart from political reasons, after watching/reading many local news & public posts, one pattern is clear. Few KPs seem compelled to talk about 'brotherhood' in one sentence & 'film may cause trouble for us' in another. If there is love & respect, then what's the threat?
9/
Few KP's public opinions living in J&K may differ from KPs living across the world. They all have gone through a lot but local KP still facing it and they may not like to promote film that supports the abrogation of 370 openly. The threat is real. These headlines are real. 10/
In conclusion, BBC exploited the selection as "KPs real view" with their anti-India agenda. They never dared to share KPs story to the world but jumped to malign honest efforts.
#TheKashmirFiles is not a film, it's an agonized truth that waited for 3 decades to set free.

Amidst the #InformationWar, 'The Hawk Eye' is an attempt to connect the dots against industrialized disinformation campaigns. Support the efforts & be an eye:
YouTube description updated. Still, BBC tried to save face by adding 'BJP' affiliation falsely. These few ppl are facing a community boycott. Society residents are protesting outside their homes. @BBCHindi has enough material to do a story now in the same society.

The PM-CM removal bill was distraction to pass the most crucial bill and Vote-chori drama also helped in passed this bill almost quietly i.e. ONLINE MONEY GAMING bill.
We're talking about a ₹2L Cr industry where govt reaps appx ₹20K cr as GST.
And yet.....

... govt banned it!
All Real Money Gaming federations mounted immense pressure on govt and also wrote to HM Amit Shah to reconsider.
They also cited that if RMG loses its revenue, they wont be able to sponsor, spl cricket tournaments.

So, its safe to assume that BCCI and ICC wud also be not so happy by this decision.
Look at other numbers and imagine about the scale.
Who designed our national flag? Simple question. Complex answer.
Largely there are two names - Pingali Venkaiyya and Suraiya Tayabji. But a bit controversial.
Problem is no name is officially documented as a "designer" explicitly.
Interesting story of 🇮🇳
1/10
Pingali Venkayya, served in British army, a lecturer & a congressman, proposed the concept of colored stripes with spinning wheel (charkha) flag.
Red = Hindus ; Green = Muslims.
Gandhi insisted for third color
White = all other faiths
2/
Imo, the idea of religion symbolism of colors was incorrect. It doesn't show diversity rather acknowledge the non-alignment of faiths in the country, against the natural secular-fabric of Bharat.
But given the MK Gandhi's inherited appeasement nature, this is not surprising.

Trump’s 50% tariff move isn’t a power play. It’s an egoistic move.
Because America can’t manufacture what India exports at scale, quality, or cost. And the price will be paid… by Americans. In dollars & diapers.
Small🧵in layman's terms.

Let’s talk about textiles.
India supplies 25–30% of U.S. home textiles.
Do Trump think Americans will stitch bedsheets after multi cousin brunch & golf? Walmart will charge $70 (instead of $30) for the same towel- Made in India, via Vietnam.

Pharmaceuticals = lifeline.
1 in 3 pills consumed in the U.S. is made in India. We are #1 supplier of generics.
Raise tariffs, and Americans will pay double for insulin, antibiotics!
Remember, covid times and USA's request to India to lift the export ban of certain drug.

Check out who is the guy acted in Rahul Gandhi's PR video and casually sought for ₹25000 crores of unsecured loan from government.
Manish Bhardwaj, 12th pass* / dropped out, belongs to a typical businessman and politician's family, born with silver spoon.
1/
Public profile says Manish is MBA from Amity Uni. as per a "paid" article (advertisement) in Fobes India, Manish rejected concept of school and never believed in formal education thus dropped out after 12th standard.

Family-
Father Narendra Bhardwaj is businessman, MD of Foxsky, associated with Congress for 35yrs at capacity of various positions.
Sister Dolly Sharma is INC Spox and Ghaziabad's loksabha 2024 candidate who lost by margin of 3 lakhs votes.
Start with first- Behere — an AAP supporter (read diehard Modi hater)— and his brilliance⬇️
1/
Behere once donated ₹25,000 to Saket Gokhale, convinced that Gokhale was “fighting” the so-called fascist regime on his own.
His hate for Modi was so blinding that he fell for it without a second thought.
He regretted it.
2/
A while later, Smart-ass Behere dared to ask Gokhale what had been done with his donation.
Gokhale flatly refused to give any accountability — said he might use the funds for “sustenance.”
