Last night, colleague of Indian origin called me a "Jaichand" as we were waiting for our Yellow Cab!
Why? A Colleague asked us about RSS. I gave a concise explanation and this upset Mr.Tiwari!
Apparently, patriotic thing to do is to whitewash RSS in front of white people! 🙄
The thing is, Mr.Tiwari is not a Sanghi in the conventional sense. He prefers the "Vajpayee wala BJP", was a big fan of Sheila Dixit and is currently beating the pAAP drum.
The name that Mr. Tiwari called me last evening is proof that India has come a long way after 8 yrs of #HindutvaFascism!
Many upper-caste Hindus like Mr.Tiwari who once voted Congress now feel talking against RSS to white people is Anti-National!
Kahan kahan se guzar gaye! 🙄
I generally avoid interacting personally with people of Indian origin - something that has been interpreted as "Racism".
It's NOT Racism! I am just tired of the Toxicity that comes out of Indian dudebros whenever RSS is mentioned!
Toxicity of the kind that Mr. Tiwari showed!
They say I chose to leave India?! I did not choose to leave India! It was definitely NOT a choice!
Here I can shut off the Toxicity that people like Mr.Tiwari put out. I can't do that in India. The toxic hate is everywhere! On WhatsApp. In colony meetings. Even alumni networks!
I left India because I was tired of the Toxicity all around me! I just could not take it anymore! So I will not return to India as long as the RSS is in power!
The RSS is an affront to Human decency and I will not compromise with the politics of Hatred that they propagate!
Everytime I think of making a trip to India, I get a reminder of why I cannot do so! The chance meeting with Mr.Tiwari last evening was not a coincidence!
God is telling me something! 😞

Bhushan's successor #RamSewakSharma (remember him?) is another douchebag cut from the same cloth of upper caste arseholery!
Kaisa paida ho gaya re ye!
#RamSewakSharma is the genius behind the #CowinApp! His own AADHAAR data was leaked but he is now touting the security and benefits of Cowin! What makes him an expert? He wrote a DBASE program in 1984!
#OnThisDay 76 years ago, Fascist Dictator of Italy Benito Mussolini along with his mistress Clara Petacci were lynched by Communist partisans.
The bodies were later hung upside down in a square at Milan.
Adolf Hitler was so disturbed at the news of how his friend met his end, made sure he would be spared this indignity after death.
Just 2 days later, Soviet troops had surrounded the Fuhrerbunker in Berlin.
Hitler committed suicide and gave orders for his body to be burnt.
#Mussolini came to power in 1922. Within 6 years, he had turned Italy into a one-party Fascist state.
Mussolini was a bumbling fool with a talent for oratory. But Italy had a slavish media that turned his every failure(Invasion of France and Greece) into a MASTERSTROKE!
