I knew Gandhi better than most because he opened his real FANGS to me and I could see the inside of the man. If I DISLIKE him, it is because I LOVE India more. - BR Ambedkar

Dismantling Sainthood: Ambedkar on Gandhi. My column in @SwarajyaMag. [Long read] swarajyamag.com/ideas/dismantl…
Ambedkar : The Real Father of our Nation.

My @SrijanFn Lecture. Do watch.
Some of Mahatma Gandhi's views in the aftermath of the Moplah Riots that, in the words of Dr Ambedkar were "INDESCRIBABLE blood-curdling ATROCITIES committed by the Moplahs against the Hindus."

Disturbing to say the least. For more details, please read: swarajyamag.com/ideas/dismantl… Image
Gandhi's appeal to Britons on the eve of Battle of Britain and Nazi invasion: Fight Nazism without arms. Invite Herr Hitler to take possession of your island. If he refuses to give a free passage out, allow yourself man, woman and child, to be slaughtered.
Gandhi's views on the Holocaust and what the Jews should have done:

Disarm Hitler by praying to him.

Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher’s knife; thrown themselves into the sea from cliffs. As it is they succumbed anyway in their millions.
Import from works of Herman, Fischer.

Noticed that in your response to my tweet you quoted Gandhi condemning Hitler. Acceptable quotes must not be used to cushion unacceptable ones. We should not hide, or not condemn, Gandhi's hurtful & nonsensical views.
Dr BR Ambedkar on whether Gandhi was a Mahatma.

Direct. DEVASTATING. mea.gov.in/Images/attach/… Image
"Satyagraha is NOT the proper means of achieving the liberation of Goa."

Devastating clarity by Dr Ambedkar on the Liberation of Goa, a full six years before Goa was liberated. Sadly, he did not live to see the proud day. #GoaLiberationDay mea.gov.in/Images/attach/… Image
When we stop following our leaders, we start worshipping them. My article on Ambedkar, modern India's GREATEST son. #AmbedkarJayanti anandranganathan.com/2016/04/14/rem…
Dr Ambedkar on Hinduism, and on blight of the Caste System:

I know of ONLY ONE Indian liberal brave enough to tell the story that must not be told. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar. The true liberal.

Dr Ambedkar on Islam. HIDDEN by the Historians on this, HATED by the Left for this. #AmbedkarJayanti anandranganathan.com/2017/04/14/amb… Image
Mahatma Gandhi on what should be done when one is faced with pure evil. Have to say, these views are borderline, if not complete and utter, madness. #GandhiAt150 Image
To call Moplah Rebellion leaders martyrs is like calling the Taliban martyrs. The Moplah Rebellion was plain and simple jihad, and a ruthless attempt, in Dr Ambedkar's words, to convert Dar al-harb into Dar al-Islam.

My views on #MoplahMassacreTruth.

Hindus in Hindu Rashtra: Victims of State-sanctioned Apartheid.

My talk expounding on eight reasons why Hindus have been reduced to not just second-class citizens but, rather, eighth-class citizens in their own country.

Reason 1: State control of Hindu temples
Hindus in Hindu Rashtra: Victims of State-sanctioned Apartheid. Eight reasons why Hindus have been reduced to not just second-class citizens but, rather, eighth-class citizens in their own country.

Reason 2: The injustice towards Kashmiri Hindus
Eight reasons why Hindus have been reduced to not just second-class citizens but, rather, eighth-class citizens in their own country.

How can a 1500-year-old Tamil Nadu temple be adjudged by Waqf to be on Islamic land when Islam is only 1300 years old?

Reason 3: The Waqf Act

The only way stubble burning can be banned is if we call it Parali Dahan, a Hindu festival wherein according to the Atharva veda, lord Vishnu burnt demon king Paralisura when he enslaved Maruts and storm king Rudra. Only then will it be banned.

My views:
For those blaming Diwali for the state of Delhi air, here's some perspective: An area of 17,900 sqkm, or 12 times the size of Delhi, is on fire, right now, right next to Delhi. 35 million tonnes of stubble is being burnt.

This is the current situation in Punjab. Absolute MURDER. Image
We are outraging only because Delhi is affected by farm fires. 98 million tonnes of stubble is burnt every year in India, ALL YEAR round.

Punjab recorded a crazy 1842 farm fires yesterday. Forget politicians, there ought to be a class action suit against Supreme court judges. Image

“Old and SENILE men like Periyar deserve a place more in a lunatic asylum than in public life. It is HIGH time Periyar and his followers were BANISHED from this land.” - Jawaharlal Nehru

Dare you to say Pt Nehru was an idiot to have said this for Periyar. Don’t run away. WDTT
Shifting goalposts and slinking away from answering straight can work on twitter but I’m afraid the ED and CBI won’t fall for such tricks. Was about to suggest you get some interrogation training but then I remembered you’ve been home-schooled at this.

Have a nice Sunday 😊WDTT
Ha ha, If only you were able to shift your wealth as smoothly as you do goalposts, you’d be safe. Now pay attention, double O six. Fascism was when you went crying to your dad in 2012 and got a man arrested for his harmless tweet. It is you who pines for that past. Bye now. WDTT

This is unacceptable and OUTRAGEOUS. ⁦@Twitter⁩ has indefinitely blocked journalist ⁦@AartiTikoo⁩ for this tweet, where she is looking out for her brother ⁦@TikooSahil_⁩ whose life is being threatened by terrorists. Twitter are you mad? Unblock Aarti. RIGHT NOW. Image
Bravo, @AartiTikoo. BRAVO. Never bow down to these terror apologists at @Twitter.

Dear @Rajeev_GoI. Please take note of this ridiculous and bizarre situation. A sister is being punished for protecting her brother. Never seen anything like it. Image
Laton ke bhoot baton se nahin mante. Aarti takes @Twitter to court for acting against her when all she was trying to do was protect her brother @TikooSahil_ from terrorists.

More power to you, @AartiTikoo. Sahil must be so proud to have a sis like you. And shame on you, @paraga. Image

Exact opposite happened. Govt provided choice on APMC, gave option on contract farming, amended ECA promised by INC, even decriminalised farm fires; while the other side pillaged, raped, murdered, blocked highways.

Do you hire cartoonists or propagandists, @timesofindia? WDTT Image
UNREAL blend of Hindu hatred and Scientific ignorance: 1. Suggesting that evolution is incomplete if you don't convert into Abrahamic religions; 2. Claiming that religions that contradict evolution complete evolution.

Do you hire cartoonists or propagandists, @News9Tweets? WDTT Image
@timesofindia Crazy. Trying to project Elon Musk stifling free speech like the tinpot dictator Idi Amin when he is the exact opposite and trying to rid twitter of Idi Amins, this is not propaganda anymore, this is psychopathy.

No one has ruined Laxman's legacy like the newspaper he drew for. Image
