#UnderstandTheEnemy
From Dr.Ishtiaq Ahmed who is the closest to being an 'Indian* in Pakistani clothing, to a more cynical, hard-boiled Dr.Pervez Hoodbhoy who 'moderates', to the questioning students,

Jinnah:His successes, failures & Role in History.

teachers & others and above all else, the life & character of Jinnah, there is much to learn.

The key takeaway for Indians is that,there is little we really need to do, to justify enemity in the eyes of Pakistanis.

Our 'foibles' are built around the kernel of the Unbeliever.
We are the "natural enemy" for Islam, characterised by "non-belief, cowardice & low cunning".

There is an incomprehensible level of indoctrination & regimentation of Pakistanis..feelings of 'superiority' which are at odds with the reality of a 'bankrupt' nation.
The discussion forum "The Black Hole is very refreshing for its openness, though it's difficult to say to what extent it represents Pakistan as a whole.

From Dr.Ishtiaq Ahmed who sees no option but to come to terms with India and reconcile with
Kashmir, to a younger audience which seems quite unresponsive to this, there is much to learn, understand & digest.

What strikes me is how irreconcilable & alien the Islamic world-view is;though inhabiting the same sub-continent, even shared DNA, WE ARE, BY DEFINITION,THE ENEMY!

#NewWar
If people still question the potency of 5th generation warfare & the power of internet/SM, just remember, one small researcher/short-seller company brought down the 2nd richest man in the world & diminished Adani's value by $100 billion in a few short days.
Chew on that..
It also confirms what Phantom said in the old Indrajal Comics " The bigger you are, the harder you fall."

The larger, more complex and more inter-connected society becomes..the more vulnerable it is to destruction by dis-information/mis-information/narrative building etc.
The larger, more diverse & more open democracies are, the more vulnerable they will be to attacks, internal & from outside.

The contested arena in 5th Generation warfare is nothing less than the human mind.

Opaque Dictatorships/Oligarchies, with all-of-nation strategies will

#ToxicOneSidedArticle
Two Muslim writers Arbab Ali and Nadeem Sarwar, write the most toxic and one sided-article.

Simple experiment.

Ask them to write two lines to say " that they are okay with asking Chat GPT to draw Prophet Mohammad"
wired.com/story/chatgpt-…
If they cant or will not do so, wired.com.uk should profusely apologise to every Hindu in India and get these two men to similarly apologise and withdraw the article.
"on questions of faith, it’s mostly trained to be circumspect, responding “I’m sorry, but I’m not programmed to make jokes about any religion or deity,” when prompted to quip about Jesus Christ or Mohammed.

That limitation appears not to include Hindu religious figures"

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

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."

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."
