Thread on my last column for @mid_day lampooning Aamir Khan for his statement savaging #India 🇮🇳.
MidDay's editor wrote to me saying she had decided to drop me as a columnist. I wrote back, saying, Thank you.
Either she or MidDay or both were petrified of the Bwood Gang.

A young Cossack toiled hard, saved money, and bought a magnificent stallion at the Sunday horse bazar. He rode straight to the village square, where his fellow Cossacks would gather every Sunday evening for raucous drunken revelry, to show off his new horse.

A collective gasp was heard as the Cossacks gathered around: None had seen a more handsome stallion than this. Women clasped their hands and giggled; many eyed the young Cossack as a potential son-in-law or husband. A horse like that had made our man more than dashing.

The village elder was so impressed that, in his capacity as the local CPSU commissar, he declared the stallion the official stud of the Collective Communist Stud Farm and ordered a fresh round of vodka for everybody. A resounding cheer went up.

Then along came the resident journalist of 'Pravda', a Cossack 'intellectual'. He walked around the stallion, lifted its tail, sniffed and declared, in a tone similar to that of #LeftLiberal opedists/activists, "The horse stinks."
Thank you Aamir Khan for your view of #India.

My full column lampooning Aamir Khan for his disparaging, denigrating statement on #India🇮🇳
Editor of @mid_day took care not to mention India in the headline. And then sent me a mail cancelling me!
