++"..a bull-form that ancient Hindu scripture proclaims guards the entry to the Hindu deity Shiva’s abode—near the north wall of the Gyanvapi mosque, a centuries-old structure that shares a boundary wall with the famed Kashi Vishwanath temple."++
caravanmagazine.in/religion/how-m…
++"The burying of the Nandi idol is the latest in a long history of attempts to indicate a Hindu historicity to the site at which the Gyanvapi mosque stands & only 1 of many disturbing resemblances to events that preceded the demolition of Babri Masjid."

A Muslim "socio-political commentator", "aspiring lawyer" (who clearly knows 0 abt civil rights👇🏾) using Modi govt chargesheet numbers to call Dalits "footsoldiers of Hindutva" 🤣🤣

Who's gonna tell him? 🤣🤣

Whats next? Yogi govt numbers to prove Ms demolished their own homes? Image
Here's the link to that very article cited, which argues the exact opposite of what the dude thinks 🤡:

Apparently, the state & cops hav "no bias", there's no such thing as "UC privilege" & that those who were arrested were all guilty while those who were not charged were all innocent 🤡

Impeccable investigation by then-CM Modi 🤡

Basically, Himmler's research methodology 🤡

🤦🏻

A joker "community" handle like @MuslimSpaces and his sidekicks like Omar Abbas Hyat campaigned to divide the Muslim vote in Ballygunge constituency - endorsing and desperately promoting a candidate named Kamru who got only 5000 votes 🤣🤣. Sastey dalal. 🤣🤣

RSS agents. ImageImage
The same Congress that the host decries as Sanghi and the same muslim members that he branded as "sarkari" were now endorsed by the host

Peak hypocrisy.
Is defeating BJP/RSS not the priority?

JNU VC appointments by the BJP have always had electoral motives for communal polarisation.

A #Thread on my piece:

news9live.com/india/new-jnu-…
"A total victory in UP during the 2014 LS elections locked in the BJP’s victory in large part as the ruling party in 🇮🇳, + set the stage for BJP rule in the UP State Assembly afterwards. Behind these victories lay the Muzaffarnagar violence of 2013."

news9live.com/india/new-jnu-…
"B/w the 2013 violence & 2017, when BJP formed the state govt, a series of factors played a role. The 9th Feb 2016 case, Najeeb case, multiple proctorial enquiries, media trials, demonization of Umar Khalid, AMU students & others."
