Bhakts randomly getting triggered at this tweet in the responses and QTs, again showing the world why India's current anti Muslim campaign is not just an Indian problem.

The man literally just wished people happy Ramzan and even that is triggering modi fans. 🙄🙄
Look up any famous person's tweets wishing people happy ramzan and you will see self pity filled replies from some sanghi whining about why they didn't post a tweet wishing Hindus for gudhipadwa. 🤦🏽‍♂️🙄

Hindutva is basically self-pity above self-respect. #AccheDin
It is infuriating how Modi has taken a once generally confident and self-assured country and turned it into a bunch of whiny snowflakes going around looking for reasons to feel sorry for themselves and for India, for no reason whatsoever.

They are trolling Happy Ramzan tweets.🤦🏽‍♂️
lolwut, Tim Cook too? 😂😂

Can you imagine how genital-dimensionally challenged a dude has to be to go beg some random faraway CEO for Hindu new years wishes because he tweeted ramzan wishes?

Zero self-respect. Unlimited self-pity. That's Hindutva.

Not only has Modi not actually raised India's stature abroad, but his IT cell has actively lowered India's stature abroad.
Most hilarious whine was "Every single year, they tweet ramzan kareem but ignore Hindu new year that starts the same day".

Idiots think Chaitra and Ramzan coincide every year! 😂😂😂
I mean how stupid do you have to be to reach adulthood without realizing that Ramzan moves throughout the calendar over time?

"Gaurav, I like your tweets but the daily Nazi parallels you see in India are getting a bit too much."

What the fuck? The daily Nazism in India, LITERALLY following 1930s headlines, is what is getting a bit too much!

I'm just a sentient being noticing the blatant parallels!
These are not random historical coincidences or anomalies. The RSS is literally the only surviving political body in the world that literally had direct links and explicit ideological commonalities with the Nazis in 1930s.

BJP has rewritten textbooks to make nazis seem nicer.
The average sanghi will have a long elaborate monologue about the Nazis and Hitler that will not fail to touch upon complimentary supposedly redeeming facts and how everyone was evil anyway and what about Stalin and Mao etc.

It's not some tenuous connection. It's history

Yo @k_rupal we need to start doing this! Such a small thing but never thought of it! Take our own durable takeout containers to a restaurant, given how we are #ZeroFoodWaste people anyway. Why ask them for disposable takeout stuff made from oil? Let's bring our own reusables!
The biggest marketing triumph of the plastic industry is that even though many people theoretically know that plastic comes from oil, few actively think of it that way. People only worry about the disposal of plastic, not where it came from. It came from oil! It is oil!
While it is true that the disposal of plastic causes its own vast number of problems, especially destroying our oceans, and possibly our lungs as we speak, the focus on the disposal is kind of a result of gaslighting campaigns by Big Oil (which basically is Big Plastic).

A freelance writer running a B&B in the Catskills!
It's not much of a stretch. I've had articles published in newspapers. I own property in the Catskills. I also have a Marathi surname, though not as Marathi sounding as Arondekar. And I know way too much about the lives of people from previous centuries! #GhostsCBS
I'm mildly surprised that the Marathi press has not made a bigger deal of the years newest hit network sitcom in the US having as male lead one चक्क Utkarsh Ambudkar and the main characters are a couple named Arondekar! The guy is literally a Maharashtra origin guy named Jai! 😂

As I finish the last of a 500 gram bottle of Bedekar green mango pickle, I remember that I opened it on March 1st.
Damn! That's all me in just over a month cos wife prefers Udipi brand.

Thank you ancestors for giving me marginally low sodium as the only hereditary condition😍
My doctor gets almost annoyed after every physical telling me "I can't believe I'm telling you this given your diet but eat more salt! Don't smile like that!"
My sodium almost always comes in at 136-137 which is marginally low sodium. Runs in the family. Why I get upset at generic WhatsApp wisdom like "cut out salt as you age". Almost killed my grandma, her peer pressure caused lowering of salt intake.

Very well presented!

I should note though that I've seen people move from yellow to blue to gray to orange within a couple of years. That's how ethnofascism works. There are no half measures once you invest your idea of nationhood in it.
If your idea of nationhood is defined by a certain kind of ethnic people or a certain kind of religion having primacy by default, then the slide to full scale "fuck development, I'm here for the genocide" is a lot faster than you think. Especially when no development.
If your idea of nationhood is that nations are just made up lines by similar people and we are all basically the same across the globe, then you will retreat after some time in the yellow quadrant. I spent some time there (pre 2014) and got the hell out!

This is why India needs a Civil Rights Act and a Fair Housing Act like the ones championed and passed by black Americans, that explicitly forbid discrimination in such contexts. And task the police/prosecutors with actively pursuing those who discriminate.

Unlikely for a while.
But assuming that long arc of the universe and the wheel of time move in our lifetimes enough to unseat the BJP from the union government, I hope there is a public movement for a Civil Rights Legislation movement. A thoughtful widespread mechanism, not just punishments.
Civil Rights activism in the US and India has historic ties. Dr. Ambedkar and W.E.B. Du Bois used to correspond often. Dr. King's connection with Gandhian nonviolence is well known but he was also very much in tune with the Ambedkarites.
