In the last few years, there has been an upsurged discourse on the "Caste" angle in the US. Recently, Google was the lectern for controversy on it. The same attempt was seen to malign CISCO earlier. But in both cases, involved was a common organization.

Investigation thread:
That torch-bearing organization leading the campaigns on the "Caste" faultline in the US is #EqualityLabs. Its founder, Thenmozhi Soundararajan, calls herself a Dalit activist, & claims her roots from South-India, but she was born & has lived in the US in her entirety.

(2/n)
But as soon as we started searching the internet about Equality Labs, we saw many articles and reports pointing to the evidence that Equality Labs is a part of a larger network that thrives on maligning India ever since its inception.

(3/n)
Our investigation further led us to a crucial finding that Equality Labs is not an officially registered organization in the US. And the people associated with it are not Indians but all Americans.

(4/n)
There were more suspicious things about Equality Labs yet to be unveiled. From concealing details from their website several times, to removing names of several people associated with them. The clean-up drive was massive, they even removed the archives of their websites.

(5/n)
But one of their reports (which too they have removed online and replaced with its modified version) was enough to expose them and its entire ecosystem.

(6/n)
In its first report of 2018, Equality Labs mentioned some key orgs & individuals. One org OFMI mentioned was founded by Bhajan Singh Bhinder with his protégé Pieter Friedrich.

(7/n)
Another org mentioned in the report was IAMC which is accused of lobbying against India & fomenting communal rift during Tripura riots & its founder Shaik Ubaid is the vicious name of American Jamaat ecosystem.

(8/n)
Interestingly, Bhajan Singh Bhinder was a designated terrorist for funding the ISI terrorists to carry out blasts in India in 1992.

And IAMC was lobbying to get India blacklisted in the USA. Its founder Shaik Ubaid was part of ICNA, a Jamaat-front in the US.

(9/n)
Coming to Equality Labs, its advisory board had at least two shocking names- Huma Dar, who is on a Pakistani payroll for running the Kashmir-Khalistan campaign. The 2nd name was of Sana Din- who is an integral part of IAMC.

(10/n)
Another key figure in Equality Labs was Natasha Dar, the co-author of their first report. Natasha belongs to the Dar tentacle, and is the daughter of Huma Dar. Interestingly, Huma Dar’s sister is also linked to Pakistan, who is married to a senior Pakistani officer.

(11/n)
It was fascinating to note that as soon as various OSINT platforms started exposing Equality Labs, the organization covertly removed all the names of these individuals & orgs.

(12/n)
Equality Labs’ connection with Pakistan can not only be seen with Huma Dar, Bhinder, & Jamaat. Its founder can founder can also be seen with Pak & ISI-backed Khalistani outfit Sikhs for Justice (SFJ)’s founder Gurpatwant Singh Pannun.

(13/n)
EL’s connection with Pak-Jamaat nexus is also through its founder’s association with Abdul Malik Mujahid.

Mujahid was the President of the student wing of Pak Jamaat. He later led Jamaat-US-front ICNA & now targets India through JFA with terror outfit SIMI’s founder.

(14/n)
In its report, EL also referred to A.J.A., an alliance of OFMI (Bhinder-Peter), IAMC (Shaik Ubaid-Rasheed Ahmed), & HFHR (Token Hindu front). Swara Bhaskar was seen along with HFHR last month as exposed in our last thread.

(15/n)

Founders of Equality Labs are not residents of India and its Political Director, Sharmin Hossain is from Bangladesh, whose name has now been removed from EL’s website.

The picture shows Sharmin’s father with the Jamaat members when the group was settling in the Germany.

(16/n)
It is worth noting that these people & orgs, who proactively work on Indian faultlines in the US always turn out to be the part of Pak-Jamat and Khalistan nexus!

Yet they are mainstreamed by many people in India to successfully spread their propaganda to malign India.

Was "Save Aravallis" a Foreign Funded Agenda?

Later, only to become a national hot topic picked up by political parties to take aim at the Indian government in the name of environmental activism.

A Thread: Image
On Dec 2, 2025, Down To Earth (DoE) published a story regarding Aravalli’s definition by the Supreme Court, but from an activist standpoint.

Fair concern, right?

But, within 24 hours, the same content was picked up by India’s former LoP, Shri Sonia Gandhi on The Hindu.

(2/n) Image
One of the co-authors of the DTE article is Neelam Ahluwalia, an environmental activist who holds PG degree in Environment Assessment & Evaluation from London School of Economics. She is the founder of "People for Aravalis" & "Aravalli Bachao Citizens Movement."

Following the recent Gen Z–led protests in Nepal, opposition-linked social media handles in India, notably from Congress & AAP, began invoking the “Nepal template,” amplifying youth-led dissent as a playbook for stirring mass civil unrest in India.

🧵 Image
Nepal witnessed deadly protests in Sept 2025. Gen Z-led demonstrations triggered by social media bans and an array of issues escalated into violent unrest, leading to resignation of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli. Military took control, but the situations still worsened.

2/n Image
Congress & AAP supporting handles used the same tropes to incite youth in India, which were the basis of protests in Nepal:

Corruption, nepotism, unemployment, economic inequality, government crackdowns, and lack of development.

Sound familiar?

These are universal grievances that can resonate across borders.

A flood of fake news/videos is circulating, falsely claiming violence against Kashmiri students across India. This narrative, pushed by Pakistani social media, was amplified into propaganda — shockingly aided by an Indian ‘activist’ for personal political gains.

🧵 Image
A Pakistani account posted a fake video to falsely claim that “Hindu Goons ruthlessly beat Kashmiri Students”. This poorly executed propaganda used a mirrored video of the recent public vandalization video from Bangladesh to frame it as a fake narrative to defame India.

(2/n) Image
Another fake video circulated on social media & YT falsely claimed Kashmiri students were beaten in Janipur, Jammu, while some claimed it was Jaipur. The video was planted by a Pakistani handle @Aa9ish & posted on Apr 23!

The video was also posted by @MuslimMirror & @DeepikaPNath with no sense of prior fact-check

Beyond the Bias- With this new series we are going to expose global media's propaganda against India.

Starting with the BBC.

BBC is one usual offender with a long history of peddling biased narratives when it comes to reporting on India—from CAA, Article 370 & Kashmir etc.

🧵 Image
BBC’s reports frequently paint Indian riots & protests in communal colors. BBC remains a brazen propaganda portal which focuses on narratives that divide and polarize.

And not once, but ad nauseam times, the portal has been caught peddling fake news & propaganda.

(2/n) Image
BBC's reporting on India often reeks of a colonial hangover—selective negativity, political bias, & cultural insensitivity. From their choice of language, headlines, & editorial tone in their reporting to extend its modern imperialistic influence.

"Independent investigative" journalist Saurav Das recently dropped a hit piece against the former honorable CJI DY Chandrachud via Caravan. Funny how he never mentions his "independent" journalism is bankrolled by known propagandists like Dinesh Thakur.

Let's dive in!🧵 Image
Meet the new bloke in town– Saurav Das
Off late he has become a darling of propaganda portals, this self-proclaimed "independent investigative" (read 𝘥𝘪𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘪) journalist uses the independence tag as window dressing for his CV
But actions speak louder than Twitter bios

2/12
Despite the "independent" badge he wears proudly Das' career is built on questionable & paid propaganda pieces
Case in point: his work for The Thakur Family Foundation(TFF), a grant-making front of Dinesh Thakur, known for targeting Indian pharma industry with deep pockets
