Quick data points about Neville Roy Singham.
---
Neville is the son of the Sri Lankan Tamil academic, Dr. Archibald Singham.
Archibald Singham was the son of Sri Lankan Tamil immigrants to colonial Burma.
The Ceylon Communist Party (Moscow wing) of those days comprised Sinhalese and Dutch Burghers.
OTOH, the Ceylon Communist Party (Peking wing) had a significant Tamil leadership.
And here's the filthy rich Neville Singham peddling Chinese propaganda in India by funding traitors in India like #Newsclick.
See how it all connects?

Exemplary act by Sri @AmitShah vis a vis the Dharma-Danda or Sengol (Tamil). The Dharma Danda is as old as Sanatana Dharma itself. Merely its design, form, shape, etc., varied from time to time, empire to empire.
The Dharma-Danda has a literal, symbolic, practical and ethical value. As its wielder, the king embodied Dharma in the combined realms of sovereignty, protection, military, and jurisprudence. Hindu texts dealing with the coronation ritual are both delightful & ennobling to read.
At the time of coronation, the Purohita would tap the king's head thrice with the Dharma-Danda proclaiming, "Raja Dharmiko Bhooyaat" -- May the King become an upholder of Dharma. Only after this would the king sit on the throne.
What this guy doesn't know is the brutality that accompanied Indira Gandhi's Chikmagalur campaign.
A thread 🧵
Devaraj Urs was the CM back then. He had put the entire state machinery at Indira's disposal, in a way.
Massive contingents of Congress "workers" descended on Chikmagalur from all parts of Karnataka. Hardcore rowdies & goondas were enlisted & fed copious amounts of liquor and food. The Inspection bungalow, a government property was their boarding and lodging.
Shall we talk about Maulana Abul Kalam Azad's heroism? A thread follows. Source will be given at the end. All the words are quoted verbatim from the source. Enjoy! 😀😀
Maulana was a divine only in so far as his vast knowledge of Muslim religious lore was
concerned. For the rest, he was a man of the world who loved the good things of life.
In 1945, some people reported to Gandhiji that the Maulana was drinking regularly in jail.
Almost 8 years into @narendramodi's regime, the seeds of definitive changes that he had sown in 2014 are invisibly but surely bearing fruit across a variety of spheres. All spheres are united by one profound strand: civilisational self-confidence.
The infinite pity is that this point is missed by our antiquated commentariat because their knowledge of their own civilisation is synonymous with ignorance.
Their record is stuck at discarded & spurious "views" derived from a mix of cultural self-shame and the disease of seeking Western validation.
Basharat Peer, scriptwriter of the anti-Hindu movie, "Haider," is married to Ananya Vajpeyi, daughter of Kailash Vajpeyi, who served on the Sahitya Akademi Council for 5 years.
Basharat Peer's Wiki page calls him a Pakistani American journalist. He ran the short-lived India Ink blog, an arm of NYT. An important piece it ran was on the Modi visa denial: india.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/12/05/u-s…
His wife was also similarly busy, co-authoring a biography of Ashis Nandy, the same guy who "diagnosed" Modi as a case of clinical fascism.
