#BiasedBloomberg
Another confused effort from Bloomberg. Essentially trying to say #Adanis present difficulties represent a challenged to India's 2070 #NetZeroGoals.

m.economictimes.com/industry/renew…
Decipher what this means
"Ashiwni Swain, fellow at New Delhi-based Centre for Policy Research. “We cannot bank on two or three companies to reach our goals. We need a populated sector,” he said.

“There are other players and many more will join to take the journey forward.”
"At the same time, Power Minister Raj Kumar Singh told reporters in New Delhi on Thursday that there are more than a dozen large firms that can push India’s agenda forward."
"India is lot more than Adani. Their role in India’s energy transition is disputable,” said Assaad Razzouk, CEO of Singapore-based renewable firm Gurin Energy. “It is very dangerous to confuse the energy transition in India with one group’s perspective or market power.”
Bad if India does it:

"Adani doubled down on coal production last year as Modi promised to bring reliable electricity to more Indians among a global supply crunch."

BUT FINE FOR EUROPE
lemonde.fr/en/economy/art…
Look at the countries responsible for the whole Carbon Emissions mess in the world...U.S.A & Europe!

But @business @Bloomberg loves to bash India with an alarmist take!! That's how narratives are built and villains are made into heroes and vice-versa.

बाबा रामदेव ने जो कहा उसके गुण-दोष में न जाकर, आइए हम सभी संबंधितों के पाखंडों की जांच करें।

* दलितों, मुस्लिमों, वामपंथियों और विपक्षी पार्टियों के गठबंधन का मुखपत्र बनने वाला मूकनायक हिंदू वोटों को बांटना चाहता है.
* भाजपा सभी हिंदुओं को राजनीतिक रूप से एकजुट करना चाहती है।

* कांग्रेस मुस्लिम वोट तो चाहती है लेकिन साथ ही हिंदुओं को नाराज नहीं करना चाहती।

* नाराज होने का नाटक करने वाले मुस्लिम संगठन हमेशा एक तरफ...मुसलमानों के पक्ष में रहे हैं।
* मुस्लिम संगठन सभी धर्मों को समान होने की बात कर रहे हैं। यह वे सदियों से करते आ रहे हैं।

इस्लाम कभी भी किसी अन्य धर्म को समान रूप से स्वीकार नहीं कर सकता, जिस तरह सनातन धर्म कर सकता है।

कुरान खुद उन लोगों की निंदा करता है जो अल्लाह के अलावा किसी और भगवान को मानते हैं।

#SuckeringHindus

Spinning an inexorable narrative to portray 'bad' Hindus & good 'Muslims'.

swarajyamag.com/culture/why-is…
"Tara vs Bilal. It was a love story between a woman named Tara Kaul and a man named Bilal Khan, where Tara gets cheated and dumped by a man named Karan Sharma till Bilal rescues her from repeated abuse by him"
"She goes on to have nikah (marriage with Islamic rituals where both partners are necessarily Muslims) with Bilal, who assumes that her grandfather — the only family she has — would leave India to live with them in London."

#AmbedkarOnIslam
Ambedkar in his writing, “Pakistan Or The Partition Of India”, wrote:

"Hinduism is said to divide people and in contrast Islam is said to bind people together.

This is only a half-truth.

For Islam divides as inexorably as it binds."
"Islam is a close corporation and the distinction that it makes between Muslims and non-Muslims is a very real, very positive and very alienating distinction.

The brotherhood of Islam is not the universal brotherhood of man.

It is brotherhood of Muslims for Muslims only."
"There is a fraternity, but its benefit is confined to those within that corporation.

For those who are outside the corporation, there is nothing but contempt and enmity.

The second defect of Islam is that it is a system of social self-government...

#AnAffordableHeart
Developed by engineers at IIT-Kanpur, ‘Hridayantra’ has the potential of saving the lives of patients .. and that too at a tenth of the cost of the currently available options across the world.

"To be implanted just below the heart, the small battery-operated pumping device comes with a rotating motor which helps pump blood throughout the body"
"“There are total artificial heart pumps and there are Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVAD), but these can cost over Rs 1 crore a piece, which is far from being accessible even for the upper middle class in India,”

#HowScroll
How the Leftist @scroll spins a false narrative thru its tweet.

* Bombing in Mizoram

* Assam Rifles says no bombing on the Indian side.

* Villagers contest the claim.

1/n
scroll.in/article/104184…
IMPLICATION

* Assam Rifles is lying.

* Govt. is negligent and cowardly, if not downright untruthful about the intrusion.

Facts in article itself:

"The state has provided shelter to over 30,000 Myanmar nationals fleeing the conflict.

2/n
"Most of them belong to the Chin community with which the Mizos share ethnic ties."

"The Indian government needs the help of the Myanmar army to eliminate Northeast militants in Myanmar. In the same manner, Myanmar Army needs the Indian government,”

#HeWhoIsWithoutSin
The word "liberal" means
'accepting different opinions or kinds of behaviour; tolerant'.

A true Sanathani will, by definition be 'liberal'.

You are, therefore, wrongly using the word to mean the exact opposite.

The word you really want is "illiberal".
My fundamental opposition to Islam is that it excludes...and IS in its very essence, illiberal, intolerant & violent.

If I were NOT TO condemn a person for similar thinking & action simply because he is supposedly 'sanathani' I would be guilty of MASSIVE HYPOCRISY.
No one by virtue of simply being born into a tradition or religion acquires some permanent immunity for her/his words or action.

The spirit of inquiry, self-criticism & reform is what makes Sanathana Dharma the fount of the oldest,continuous surviving civilisation of the world
