"Modi exhibits ‘risk-taking at the highest level’: NSA Doval in new book on PM | Latest News India - Hindustan Times" hindustantimes.com/india-news/mod…
"The second aspect, according to the NSA, is that the strikes were a political call taken by the Prime Minister, “which meant he was taking responsibility not only for success, but also for failure”. “This exhibited risk-taking at the highest level — a quality shown by very few."
"According to Doval, the strike was so effective that the then Pakistan leadership “castigated its ground formations for failing to block even one strike team”, despite having a large number of forward deployed troops."
"We had been responding to terror strikes in the ground domain. It was the first time an aerial strike was conceived and implemented with finesse, in the bargain also blowing away the myth of Pakistan nuclear bargain.”
"Doval goes on to add that if any adversary attacks India’s core interests, there will be counters. “Domain and level will not be limiting factors,” he writes. “That said, the post-Uri strikes were different, and Balakot was different from the post-Ur strike"

#KillingKashmiriHindus
You said "great movie" as if it was just any other movie and Kashmiri Hindus had not suffered the horrors which were depicted.

If you have any facts to contest what was depicted in Kashmir Files based on witness testimonies please let me know.
I will personally take it up with @vivekagnihotri.

Against the testimonies of all those witnesses, you have a young man's outburst.

What is he so terribly indignant about? That the Govt.is unable to protect him & he is afraid for his life & his fellows.
From whom? From Jihadi terrorists.

Who is he saying is protecting/helping them now? Kashmiri Muslims in whose houses they are staying.

Who are the people providing information about where these people are staying and safe houses/communication, food, weapons, money,

"Modi govt doesn’t take decisions that will please people, but those are good for them: Amit Shah

Speaking at a book launch, HM Shah said Modi is a great listener. “You might forget what you said to him. But even after 5 years he will remember & remind you that you said this”
"While speaking at the event, Naidu said even Modi’s detractors agree he is a phenomenon, whether they like it or not. “Under his leadership, India is respected across the world. Modi gave a three line mantra – reform, perform and transform—which he lives by…"

#RanaAyubbMisinforms
In her anxiety to peddle Muslim victimisation narrative, Rana Ayubb assumes "shot" to be "shot dead" and tweets accordingly.

"Does Rana Ayyub think that cattle smugglers shooting at police should get a free pass if they are Muslims" opindia.com/2022/05/wapo-c…
That goes to show the kind of fact-checking she does, not that the declining islamo-left @washingtonpost cares.

"We reported that the accused were running away after stealing a cow in a Scorpio vehicle.

The Police chased them, during which their vehicle safely.
collided with a tree. The Police asked them to surrender, but the smugglers opened fire. A constable reportedly got injured. In retaliation, the Police opened fire, and all three cow smugglers were wounded. The cow had been rescued."

#MuslimGirlInsulted
"Disappointed By Political Leadership's Silence On Humiliation Of Girl In Kerala By Muslim Scholar: Arif Mohammed Khan" swarajyamag.com/amp/story/poli…
"The incident occurred during the inauguration of a 'madrassa' building in Malappuram district, where students were felicitated recently.

The memento was handed over to the girl by Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) leader Panakkad Sayed Abbas Ali Shihab Thangal."
"Soon after the award was handed over, Muslim scholar M T Abdullah Musaliyar questioned the organisers as to why the girl was invited on stage.

'Who invited a Class 10 girl to the stage? If you do this again... Don't call such girls here.

Oh! This is what has set off all those mocking
Akhand Bharat.

RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat saying (April 13), "India will again become 'Akhand Bharat' in 15 years. We all will see this with our own eyes.”
And .. Akhil Bharatiya Akhara Parishad president Swami Ravindra Puri (of Mahanirvani Akhara), who said, "Astrological predictions suggest that we will realise the dream of Akhand Bharat in the next 20-25 years."
The Akhand Bharat being mocked by many, actually refers to modern-day Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Tibet, Sri Lanka, Maldives and Myanmar.

#ColourCoding
What does it do to the brown or black self-image when the Son of God is deliberately shown as a white European?

Interesting!

"How Jesus became so white - The Washington Post" washingtonpost.com/religion/2020/…
"many Christians remain hesitant to give up the image of white Jesus. He believes the continued popularity of white depictions of Jesus are “an example of how far in some respects the United States has not moved.”
"At least that’s how he appeared when she was growing up. A copy of Warner E. Sallman’s “Head of Christ” painting hung in her home, depicting a gentle Jesus with blue eyes turned heavenward and dark blond hair cascading over his shoulders in waves."
