#JaiHind @samarkohli ji,
I see all Indians as one. I have no interest in comparing one state to another. It make no difference to me. However such falsehoods need to be debunked with facts & fuigures. So hear you go, lets demolish these false claims, one by one 🧵👇
1/n
Claim #1⃣ - Punjab feeds the nation:
In wheat production Punjab is at #3, preceded by MP-#2 & Up=#1
2/n Image
In rice production, Bengal is #1, followed by UP-#2, and then Punjab at #3.
There is no way that "Punjab is feeding the nation", That claim should go to UP, MP & Bengal.

Claim #2⃣- "protects the nation"
There are soldiers from all states, I respect them all. But let's examine this claim.
Punjab is not even in top 12 in terms of recruitment to armed forces in recent times.
4/n Image
Even in pre-capita terms Himachal & UK beat Punjab by a large margin. Even Sikkim & J&K are also above Punjab !! Punjab comes at number 5 !!
so this claim doesn't hold any water.
5/n Image
Claim #3⃣-"panjabi have water you want to steal"
This claim is laughable !! all the 5 rivers in Punjab originate & collect their water in Jummu, Ladakh & Himachal Pradesh. By his own logic, is Punjab stealing the water of Jummu, Ladakh & Himachal Pradesh ?
6/n Image
Claim #4⃣-"What do Punjab get from rest of India ( implying, it gets nothing or very little)"
Let's examine this: Punjab gets huge farm subsidies from center, while its contribution to GDP & GST are abysmal, compare to other states.

Let's look at GDP contribution of Punjab vs Rest of India.
In terms of absolute numbers,Punjab comes at # 16.
In terms of per- capita GDP.Punjab comes at # 19.
It just shows that Punjab is contributing way below other states,while drawing substantial subsidies from center.
8/n ImageImage
Let's look at GST collection of Punjab vs Rest of India.
Punjab is way below others states in GST collection, in terms of absolute absolute numbers, as well as Per-capita GST.
Punjab is contributing less taxes compared to other states, while receiving massive farm subsidies.

In the foot steps of Rama 🧵

This an attempt to chronicle the significant places across Bharat that Lord Rama visited during his lifetime, as depicted in the Ramayana. It maps out temples and landmarks that commemorate his journey, embarking on a quest to retrace the footsteps of Rama’s legendary travels during his years of exile.

Rameswaram
Rameswaram holds a sacred chapter in the Ramayana, where Lord Rama built a bridge to Lanka. This revered spot is where he prayed to Shiva, seeking blessings for his quest.

Sri Arulmigu Ramanathaswamy Temple 🛕
Right at the heart of Rameswaram, the majestic Sri Arulmigu Ramanathaswamy Temple stands as a timeless testament to that pivotal Ramayana moment. Its sprawling corridors and ornate pillars tell stories of devotion dating back to the 12th century. A monument to faith, as grand as the tale of Rama himself. #RamanathaswamyTemple #JaiSriRam #PranaPratishthaImage

Harmeet Kaur Dhillon @pnjaban, an official of the Republican Party, shares her @dhillonlaw law firm partnership with @jpdeol, who publicly abuses Hindu deities on Twitter. On July 1st, 2023, he posted a Hindu-phobic tweet. This contemptuous comment is far more than a mockery of the revered Hindu deity, Shiva; it is an explicit attack on the Hindu community
Image
[2/n]
@jpdeol's comment came in response to a @thewire article, wherein a Sikh writer, Rahul Singh, criticized terrorist Bhindranwale. Evidently, @jpdeol, a staunch Bhindranwale advocate, was perturbed by a fellow Sikh's criticism of 'Sant Bhindranwale' - a term Khalistanis favor

Earlier today, Mr. @jpdeol had a link to his law firm on his Twitter bio, but following his Hindu-phobic tweet, it has been conspicuously removed. Despite this, a visit to the law firm's website[] confirms that @jpdeol and @pnjaban remain as partners.dhillonlaw.comImage

A 2021 report published by @HudsonInstitute highlights #Pakistan's efforts to destabilize #India through Khalistan separatist activism within the United States.
Their strategy is to exploit the Sikh diaspora, using propaganda, financial support, and even direct… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
[2/8] The report highlights how Pakistan's #ISI uses the Khalistan movement as a strategic asset against India. 🇵🇰 It's not just about supporting the cause; it's also about creating unrest in the region and weakening India's global standing. 🇮🇳 #proxywar
[3/8] Interestingly, the article points out how the US🇺🇸 has become a safe haven for Khalistani activism. 🗽 Due to the country's strong support for #freespeech and #humanrights, such movements can flourish without much scrutiny. 🌱
