1. Last yr, we mocked Truth of capital cronyism
A year before we mocked Truth on Covid mismanagement
Last 9yrs, we’ve made it a habit to mock Truth. From GST to Demo, from Farm Bills to Chinese incursions
Fortunately for us, Truth glitters brighter, more
2. it’s under attack. It’s not an opportunity that knocks but once. It is the light of knowledge that continues to fight darkness
Truth is used to all mocking. Long back it was crucified. It has been shot thrice. Truth-seekers were brandished with blasphemy. Truth survived & made
3. a wiser, better world
But when you see, feel Truth, embrace it. It needs your courage. Adani, Modi are trying to hide Truth. They’ve bought over or subdued the media. Rahul Gandhi continued to expose them. You didn’t believe him then. Now, it has reached international shores.
4. #HindenburgReport needs an impartial investigation. Truth matters. & it matters to you. Your money may have been invested in a company that was amassing wealth through dirty play of politics. & at a time, when over 80cr Indians were pushed under the ignominy of living under
5. food grants. A corruption that is blind to social suffering is criminal. When 🇮🇳 reeled under deaths & starvation, an individual managed to add billions to his personal wealth at the expense of the economy. He was in all likelihood supported by those in power arguably for a
6. quid pro quo. Not just your money, your morality is at stakes here. Can you stand with Truth? Because if you don’t, Rahul Gandhi’s roar will be a lonely one in a jungle full of hyenas. #HindenburgResearch will soon be discredited or wiped out from your memory. Only Cong will
7. speak up. Join Voices. Demand Truth. Religion stands for Truth. Nationalism should fight for Truth. It is time. Truth will never abandon you as long as Congress & Rahul Gandhi are there. But they need your courage to carry on. 🇮🇳 needs you!

1. Mr. Shekhar Gupta is factually incorrect, morally wrong & lacking in journalistic courage
He defends gov & regulator’s inaction in view of the Adani exposé with a fanatic zeal calling it Good Capitalism. That term is evil at so many levels. Good Capitalism. Is Mr. Gupta
2. advocating for unbridled laissez-faire giving a free-hand for powerhouses to manipulate with common people’s trust & savings?
Mr. Gupta in the defence of his argument mounts a 5-pointer. Let’s look at each of these
3. Moral nature of Corruption with or w/o global interlinkages remains the same. What changes is the impact it can have on global economy or perhaps even the investment perception of the nation. On the former, Adani while a giant among the Indian businesses is not big enough to
1. Every dictator connects the nation to themselves. An attack on Saddam Hussein was an attack on Iraq. Ditto for Gaddafi & Libya. The cult around our Dear Prime Minister is of a similar nature. Anti-Modi is an extreme sentiment. Even if one questions Modi, they run the risk of
2. being labelled as urban naxal, tukde-tukde gang, anti-national, terrorist or something equally treacherous. From politicians to actors, from students to farmers, many have been targeted. The net continues to widen
As a BJP supporter, did you have any objection to any of
3. Modi’s decisions? Demo, GST, oxygen crisis during Covid, Inflation & fuel price hikes, growing religious hate? Did you feel fear of speaking out loud against any of these? That is all you need to know that India is sliding into a dictatorship in practice. You should be worried
1. It’s critical for Supreme Leader (SL) to save his dear friend/benefactor. Else there will be rumours in the market that SL has bowed down to a puny foreign paid firm. His outfit is known to nurture a pack of beasts of violence. In past one of his hounds captured while on a
2. villainous hunting was released within a matter of days to more vile & venom. The setup that entrapped him was skilfully dismantled within a matter of a year. That’s the SL for you! But now with his BFF under scrutiny, SL is duty-bound to protect him. If he fails it’s a loss
3. of confidence for his other servants. It shows that opposition to SL is not finished yet despite all his efforts. The noise hounds have failed. The SL fandom has already began questioning him on his Jumla-flops. The BFF needs protection w/o fandom smelling cronyism
1. Since 2014, INC has been in a state of decline. It has lost elections, lost leaders & lost people’s faith. There have been tactical blunders as well accusations around misgovernance. It has not helped that the INC faced a media ire & failed miserably in its response.
2. INC found itself riding a bullock cart on an information highway. The BJP’s attempt at a ‘Congress-mukt Bharat’ was to wipe the party out of collective conscious. The Romans have been notorious of this & the BJP was simply trying to replicate this tactic.
3. To wipe-out INC, that in such a short span of time, Mr. Modi began with dishonoring the legacy of India, both its freedom struggle as well as its Tryst with Destiny as a young nation riddled with pain & poverty. However, in the process, his acute mind realized the potential a
1. I would rephrase the 'mukhda' as vile intent @ShashiTharoor. The article weaves a set of theological maze around Shruti & Smriti and then jumps to its comparison of ManuSmriti (MS) with the Indian Constitution (IC). Let's begin,
a. Was MS a product of intense debate &
2. deliberations like IC?
b. Was it formulated by people from diverse backgrounds who were 'representative' of the Indian population
c. Was MS based on principles of Socialism, Secularism, Democracy
d. Was MS based on any principles at all
e. If MS is a book on law, why can it
3. not be compared to Sharia rather than being compared to IC
f. Did MS in its being represented all/select kingdoms of its time
g. Was there a well-thought out rule to amend it or was it arbitrary?
I must confess Dr. @ShashiTharoor not in agreement with the author or your praise
