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.

"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

@AITCofficial MP @sagarikaghose referencing an anti-India #Propaganda front in the Parliament which fabricates ‘minority atrocity, has clear Paki footprints, is blocked in India, and keeps changing the front name when exposed – not once, twice, but thrice.

Small thread: Image
If she is ignorant about the front (despite being a journalist) then she is unfit to be an MP, and if she knows what she is doing then she is practically colluding with enemies against Indian interests.

(2/7)

This so-called ‘India Hate Lab’ (IHL) was earlier called the Hindutva Watch. Its website and backend tech support were being run from Pakistan. When exposed, it changed its brand to IHL.

There are some in India, still confused about the former US President #DonaldTrump’s conviction – whether it is politically motivated or the rule of law, is taking its course.

A brief explainer on the case and why it matters to us in India.

A Thread: Image
The case:

It’s a bit complicated. It has been made complicated deliberately. Many (including journalists) cannot explain what the allegations are. Most think it’s the ‘hush money’ Trump paid to former porn star #StormyDaniel

It’s not.

2/n
The charges leveled are ‘falsifying business records’

Trump paid his lawyer, Michael Cohen, to pay Stormy to STFU. The payment to Cohen was given as ‘salary’ on which Cohen even paid taxes.

This is the ‘mislabeling’ of expenses for which Trump has been convicted. Really?

A Thread:
Few Facts:

It is FIRST time in US history that a ‘Federal Election Law’ has been used as a direct state crime.
The definition of crime was CHANGED for the case
It is FIRST time in New York that some is changed for ‘falsifying business ‘record’ as felony (serious crime)

2/n Image
More facts

Earlier a NEW LAW was introduced to extend time on case against Trump by #Stormy

Prosecutor is #Soros baby & a political (#Democrat)

Pak/Jamaat-backed anti-India propagandist Raqib Naik filed case in Delhi HC to unban Hindutva Watch & India Hate Lab. He's being aided by Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF) whose lawyers tell story of anti-India collusion via #Thakur #Soros

First proof of his Pak/JeI collusion
🧵 Image
Exhibit A

Hindutva Watch (HW) website was exposed for having backend assistance from Pak. An ‘interactive map’ of alleged human rights abuses in India on HW’s website, was developed & provided by Pak national Sardar Adil Kayani, who runs Pak's ruling PML-N party propaganda

2/n Image
Exhibit B
