* Hey, stupid, where are you wandering?

* If you have courage boy, come... see this cell [Veer Savarkars cell in the Cellular Jail at Andaman].

• See, this is a 7 x 11 ft brick walled cell.

• See the rough floor below. He slept on it in a half pant, prisoner's clothes, manacled and in chains.

• See that corner. He had to urinate and defecate in that corner. This he had to endure for 11 years. The British did not let him off lightly.

• He had to wear a badge which had D written on it. The D meant he was a dangerous prisoner.

• Forget 11 years, forget even 11 days.

Spend just one day here.

Defecating in the corner, manacled, chained, sleeping on the floor, eating rotten food from which you have to

#TheWarInside
Far greater than the weapons of war are ideas. We and our children are being subtly brainwashed to accept "the unacceptable" by simply normalising it.
amazon.in/Ten-Heads-Rava…

It is exactly the same as in 100's of Bollywood movies, where there are scenes which denigrate and demean Hinduism.

We become so used to watching this, and since in Hinduism, there is no concept of blasphemy, it becomes "normalised".

Try doing something similar with Islam!

@GemsOfBollywood

Go through @GemsOfBollywood for many such shocking scenes, through the years.

Hindus must learn to take a firm stand against such films, books and any media which distorts and presents Hinduism in bad light.

At the same time we must vocally condemn and quickly reform our

#IndianDemocracy
Is Indian democracy in crisis under @narendramodi was the topic.

Hosted by journalist & film producer Steve Paikin. @spaikin

Watched this with interest because there were 4 panellists all Indians, with @ShekharGupta alone from India.

@spaikin

@spaikin did a decent job considering that his take basically depended on

* @BBC documentary on the Gujarat riots
* -ve Western reports on Indian democracy & press freedom.

Still he seemed quite objective, willing to listen even gently steering the debate to an opposite view.

@ShekharGupta

@ShekharGupta was a disaster
* To a Q on his experience of Press freedom he rambled on about his long experience, hinting darkly, that he could be more negative but for not wanting to frighten young 'journos' & his thick skin.

* Asked about India's standing in the world he

#CloakingArmageddon
You have these long, rambling, seemingly objective articles that serve as cloak and camouflage to the most evil actions carried out by America.

That is soft power.

apnews.com/article/iraq-w…

A fraction of these actions would be enough to labour any other world leader a Hitler, Fascist, genocide enabler.

BUSH IS NOT A WAR CRIMINAL
"President George W. Bush called the U.S.-led invasion on March 20, 2003, a mission to free the Iraqi people and root out weapons of mass

destruction. Saddam Hussein’s government was toppled in 26 days. Two years later, the CIA’s chief weapons inspector reported no stockpiles of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons were ever found."

#ChineseSuperiority
Chinese views of India are very complicated – but generally based on a sense of superiority and self-confidence.
thediplomat.com/2023/03/how-is…

"India is the favorite of the West, while China has become the target of the West...They argued that one reason for India’s popularity is that the country is not strong enough to pose a threat to Western...if India one day becomes the world’s second largest economy

and its military strength continues to develop, then the United States will be sure to suppress India – as it is now doing to China."

"Many Chinese people are aware of the outrageous rape statistics in India, and also that some Indians used cow urine to treat COVID-19."

#PushingEqualityToDeath
The people who killed Darshan Solanki are the people who cannot or will not understand the difference between EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AND EQUALITY.
news.careers360.com/iit-bombay-sui…

IIT is a tech gladiatorial arena, a place I would have happily self-confessed my inability to enter.

It is a place where the most meritorious students from every strata, are confronted with peers far more gifted than them, and an academic rigour which tests the best.

Into this cauldron, a bunch of entitled stupids decide that merit CAN BE COMPROMISED in the name of equality and push many Solankis to fight an unequal battle.

In a so-called politically correct woke world, this will be blasphemy to the highest degree.
