Vlogger and Part-time journalist Ravish Kumar has reached USA to shoot a documentary but none knows the real reason for ‘Social Vlog Visit’

1/n

Flaunting his black coat and shades, Ravish Kumar has been measuring the roads of New York even though Indians back at home are distraught as none is left to ask questions!
2/n

Ever since the US mid-term elections began, he has been stealthily doing what he does best — presenting half-truths, controlling his urge to utter ‘KAUN JAAT HO?’
3/n

There is a saying - A journo’s untold statement is more imp than what he says on camera. And we are talking about Ravish Kumar, the Magsaysay awardee! So what’s that which he is hiding?
4/n

Returning to the documentary titled ‘While We Watched’, DO YOU KNOW that it wud be based on Ravish Kumar’s inspirational life? The Oscar-winning documentary wud be directed by Vinay Shukla

#WhileWeWatched #RavishKumar

5/n

As we dived deep into our research about the documentary, several prominent individuals emerged but first let's talk about the director Vinay Shukla.

6/n

DO YOU KNOW that Vinay Saxena also made a documentary on Delhi CM #ArvindKejriwal, titled ‘An Insignificant Man.’
7/n

Interestingly, both Arvind Kejriwal and Ravish Kumar have won Magsaysay awards. Although, the award is not the only common factor behind these two “international” personalities.

8/n

Let's take a look at other names associated with it. @khushbooranka is producer of film along with LukeMoody
The doc is funded by @BRITDOCFilms, & if we observe the partners precisely then the infamous #FordFoundation together with the Bertha foundation has also contributed 9/n

The first project of the BRITDOC Films was Art of Impact which was funded by Bertha and Ford Foundation. This proves that ppl connected to Ravish Doc, have been for long performing stunts for the Ford foundation.
10/n

Meanwhile, this also reminds us of the relations b/w Arvind Kejriwal and Ford Foundation. DO YOU KNOW according to the Ford Foundation website in 2011, Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia's org “KABIR” was funded by $2 mn
11/n

Now let's see what World thinks about the Ford foundation. In 2015, Parliament of Russia approved a law banning international NGO as ‘Undesirable’ in which Russia almost banned the Ford foundation after its suspicious activities.

12/n

During that time, along with Ford, Russia declared ALMOST BAN on 12 Foreign NGOs. Now, amidst the clashes between Russia and Ukraine, Ford has blocked its activities in Russia.

13/n

Now if we talk about the activities of Ford in India, then Arvind Kejriwal was receiving its aid even when he was in Govt service.

Several individuals were involved in the ecosystem of the Ford Foundation. Let us reminisce about them...

14/n

The list includes #Kejriwal, his old associate #MedhaPatkar, #RavishKumar & even #Magsaysay award itself!
Ford funded Kejriwal’s NGOs Kabir & Parivartan. Kejriwal was awarded Magsaysay & later gave a ticket in Gujarat Elections to another Magsaysay awardee Medha Patkar

15/n

Another name emerges, who was also a Magsaysay awardee — Admiral Ramdas. A founder member of AAP, he was later even made the internal Lokpal of the party.
16/n

Kavita Ramdas, daughter of Admiral Ramdas has served as an advisor to the Ford Foundation. Priorly she worked for many years as the representative of the Ford Foundation in India.
17/n

Guess what...Kavita has also worked with the “open society” of George Soros!!
Now, even a film is being produced on Arvind Kejriwal and the persons involved in this and Ravish doc are the same! Ford is present in BOTH
18/n

This year, ‘Writing with Fire’, a documentary was nominated for Oscars. It involved a plot about the life of a female Dalit woman and explicitly promoted Hinduphobic narrative. It even presented the Central govt as a villainous figure.

19/n

Now here’s something more interesting, the executive director of the Doc Society is none other than Anurima Bhargav. The same Anurima Bhargav was the commissioner of the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF)

20/n

Several evidences were unearthed which indicated that USCIRF ran an Anti-India narrative with financial grants from PAK
The same org which is responsible for promoting several individuals & is now also backing Ravish, raises serious questions.

21/n

It wud be better if Ravish himself clears the controversy.

Ravish Kumar is not the only one who is currently in the USA. Rana Ayyub, who was named in the PM-CARES scam, is also in the US!

22/n

@RanaAyyub posted a pic during Diwali with a certain someone. The certain someone was none other than the mother of Anurima Bhargav. What a beautiful coincidence!

23/n

It seems like the entire Ecosystem will be promoting Ravish Kumar in the coming days! Things wud be clear only in a few days.
