Just saw a video of a Kannadiga participant #AjitShetty speaking Malayalam on a dance show.

Instead of appreciating his excellent language skills, the hosts and audience were making fun of his pronounciation!

What myran behavior man!
Last year, I met this Punjabi Sikh guy who had grown up in Dubai and now lived in Canada. He was married to his Malayalee classmate!

He spoke impeccable Malayalam IMO. But my mom was constantly picking out very minor pronunciation mistakes!

COME ONNN!

Why do we do this?
You know, Punjabis don't do this. Atleast my Jatt doesn't! He will keep using that "Madrassan" word but that is just to annoy me!

But they don't really criticize minor imperfections while we are trying to learn their language!

Why can't Malayalees do that?
I learnt Punjabi by watching @GippyGrewal movies. I speak Punjabi like "Rickshawala bhaiyya" (bad) but I manage!

My Jatt tried learning Malayalam by watching Prithviraj movies.

Literally, first 5 Malayalam words he learnt were Abuses! 6th & 7th were "Poda" And "Podi"! 🙄

Sources - Major Revolt brewing in BJP in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and UP!

Yogiji has ordered removal of Modi photographs from all Govt offices. Yogiji jockeying to replace Modi before 2024 polls.

3 way fight erupts in MP. Scindia removes BJP from Social Media Profiles. Image
Sources - @RSSorg has long been seeking to replace the #GujaratMafia. Growing feeling that the open corruption and loot by Gujarat Mafia is tarnishing #HinduRashtra and Sangh's reputation.

Growing feeling within RSS that Yogiji should take over and prepare for 2024 elections.
There is precedence.

#KeshubhaiPatel was elected CM of Gujarat. Modi was RSS pracharak.

Following Adani sponsored revolt where 40+ MLAs were flown to Khajuraho in a #JetAirways plane, Keshubhai was replaced by Modi.

Elections announced, #GujaratRiots happened and....well!

I see some LGBTQIA+ activists in India working on the ground with the community. Most don't have any money for even their day to day expenses.

OTOH, I have seen heads of some LGBTQIA trusts travelling Emirates First class to Dubai 4 times a year!

Who is paying for these trips?
I know a Trans activist who worked in one of these trusts. They looked forward to "Boss" returning from 'phoren'!

Boss would give each staff a "gift"! Some got a Rolex, some got Clothes.

One Dalit activist got a used bottle of water served on @emirates! 🙄

Shabari ke Ber! 😏
One of the 1st openly gay men I met in the 90s was a Professor in Pune University!

4/5 of us ran into him casually in one of the Uni canteens.

Very 1st thing I heard was a Casteist trope! I gave him benefit of doubt then - maybe he was being Sarcastic?

But now? I don't know!

. @arunamiller must be held accountable for allowing her office and influence to be misused by the Fascist RSS and it's American wing the HSS.

Will the @TheDemocrats take politicians like her to task and answer the serious questions of impropriety?!
Imagine US Representatives in the 1930s associating with US affiliates of German Nazi Party and using them to do their fundraising.

Imagine US representatives standing up and calling Hitler "a superstar" in @TheDemocrats Party Conventions!

THAT is what @arunamiller has done!
. @arunamiller cannot now claim to have been unaware - people close to her Team had REPEATEDLY warned her against associating with the Fascist RSS or it's US affiliates.

Warnings she chose to deliberately ignore!

Feigning ignorance will not work!

Sources - Queen of Jayanagar, HRH #SudhaMurthy to humbly change name to "Sudha Murphy". The decision to change name comes after #Infosys's expensive PR campaign ran into #MurphysLaw!

HRH humbly requests everyone to humbly accept the change.

Signed
#PallaviGhosh Didi Image
The ridicule that #SudhaMurthy has faced is justified!

The massive blowback that @Infosys PR campaign received is proof that Indians can resist attempts to set false narratives with PR!

People have learned from the Modi experience now!

Infy just found that out the hard way!
If #SudhaMurthy really wanted to stand for elections and do some good for Jayanagar, she should have tried to come across as honest rather than looking like the Neighborhood, Brahmin Maami who keeps watch on ur comings and goings and spreads vile gossip through the neighborhood!

#SudhaMurthy tried to use @Infosys screw-you money to mount this PR Exercise after her huge foot-in-mouth fiasco at the Voting Booth in Jayanagar.

Sadly, this too backfired terribly and she has justifiably become the target of universal ridicule!

Whattay fall it has been!
Speaking of #SudhaMurthy and being SIMPLE, what's going on with @Infosys Dividend Policy mehn?

It is simple machaa! Employees get 10% and Directors get 110% because
All employees are equal, but some Brahmins are more equal than others!

See! SIMPLE!
Bad week for @Infosys and the Murthy's!

1st, #SudhaMurthy goes to a voting center and puts both giant feet in her mouth! Then,PR campaign mounted at huge cost bombs spectacularly!

Hope @UKLabour does not find out about #RishiSunak handing out contracts to his in-laws company! Image

#SpiceJet which has been suffering serious cash flow issues since 2016, has always miraculously managed to find emergency cash each time.

UK based entity comes to the rescue - but who is this UK based group?
#SpiceJet bailout is by a shady UK based group that @EconomicTimes doesn't want to name!

But we can - #PanamaPapers tainted serial fraudster #SaileshLachuHiranandani!

While he has been informally passing on Hawala money for a long time, this would be first legal investment! Image
A convicted fraud in various countries across the world, #SaileshLachuHiranandani is currently resident in London from where he runs his Empire of Fraud!

He is close to the ruling party in India and perhaps that is what bought him in touch with #AjaySingh of #SpiceJet! Image
