#OnlyWinnerIsChina
A fine discussion with Prof.John Mearsheimer and @Zakka_Jacob.

Learnings
* The West has triggered & is engaging with a wrong enemy Russia.

* Ukraine has little agency and is being torn apart.

* There is an existential threat & Russia will not
back off, with a possibility of using the nuclear option if pushed to a corner.

* India is too important an ally against China for America to sanction/disrupt that relationship.

* But Americans distracted by this war is bad news for India in its tussle with China.
China is the only clear winner with the Ukrainian distraction & Russia falling into its lap.

#BuyingIndians
"the kind of revelations brought out by the New Delhi-headquartered think-tank Law and Society Alliance on the deep influence Communist China wields among the academia and research institutions have shocked him." theprint.in/world/india-di…
“This is a shocking, must-read study report,” Panda said, releasing the Hindi version, with senior China experts from Centre for China Analysis & Strategy Jayadeva Ranade, Chennai Centre for China Studies Dir. Gen. Commodore R. S. Vasan (Retired) & policy commentator Arun Anand."
The report.." documents examples of Chinese activities of influence in the country. “The examples listed in the report are truly worrisome, especially those Chinese operations where Beijing has focused on academia, media and.. on the entertainment industry,” Panda said.

We are so accustomed to self-flagellation in the last many centuries, that it is difficult for most people to concede that the only continuing ancient civilisation in the world is on a voyage of self-examination and re-discovery of what it was once.
Revolutions & Renaissance are not always pretty processes.With liberty, equality & Fraternity, the tumbrils rolled & guillotines sliced necks.

So you find people who believe in an Akhand Bharat, which most of us feel is not only impractical but undesirable..even frightening.
More so, if this vision is shared by our current rulers.

But what all of us must recognise and concede is that a relatively very peaceful revolution/renaissance is under way.

@TMCaTweetAway @ThaneCollector @ThaneCity This is the sight which greets senior citizens at 5 a.m at Upvan Lake.

a)Overflowing garbage

b) Food spills, bottles, slippery,broken tiles(waiting for some morning walker to trip & break her/his neck)
c) It's becoming a den for anti-social elements.

The same TMC is:
a) maintaining some of the gardens in good condition.

b) Provided public gymnasium facilities which are appreciated and being used by Thaneites.

Impossible to quantify the positive physical & mental
benefits to citizens, particularly senior citizens.

The Upvan Lake Area is a beautiful jewel in Thane's crown.
Request
@TMCaTweetAway
to please spruce up and maintain the entire Upvan periphery and re-lay with non-slip tiles before the monsoon.

#HowRighteous

“Time has come to say 'Jai Maharashtra' (good bye) if the party, which one worked for and considered as everything, takes a hateful stand against the community one comes from,” MNS secretary Irfan Shaikh said as he resigned from the party.
The problem with the Adhan is not the decibel level.

5 times a day for 1400 years, the Adhan is a challenge to every non-Muslim, not just the majority Hindu population.

It gets away with it, as it's in Arabic & because of Hindu confusion,about Adhan just being praise of Allah
The Adhan, multiple times axday, from the minarets of 300000 mosques in India openly denies the Gods of others.

What does it say...

Ash-hadu an' la ilaha ill Allah,

(I bear witness that there is no God but Allah)

Very interesting. @zoo_bear & @SharjeelUsmani should read above tweet & feel deeply comforted.

Their narrative of ONLY Muslim victimhood has worked wonders.

OR this is how kaffirs think, in any case, and have been defeating themselves historically.
Predominantly Hindus, in this thread, are wanting Gulf & S.Arabia to take punitive action by driving out fellow Hindus, to teach Modi Govt.a lesson.

* For what? For treating Indian Muslims badly.

* Observe,it never occurrs to them to ask why the same countries did not act:
* During Pakistani genocide of Bangla Hindus.

* Pakistani kidnapping & forced conversion of Hindu girls.

* Majority Muslim ethnic cleansing of lakhs of Hindus from Kashmir.

* The continued violent prevention of re-settlement of Kashmiri Hindus by the Valley Muslims.

#TheRiseOfThePasmanda
"India’s Muslim community under a churn: 85% backward Pasmandas up against 15% Ashrafs" theprint.in/opinion/indias…
The singular reason for Ashraf dominance is not caste but race. The Ashraf are deemed 'superior' claiming descent from Arab, Iranian or Turkic ancestors.

They've virtually blanked out 85% Muslims called Pasmanda(those left behind) who are of native Indian origin.
The Pasmanda are oppressed and openly discriminated against by the Ashraf, who deny them any representation in All India Muslim Personal Law Board @AIMPLB_Official and in the Governing Boards of Muslim educational and other institutions.
