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

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

“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

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

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.

Hope PM @narendramodi's laudable Panchamrit - of 500 GW by 2030 - majorly includes Nuclear. A single nuclear plant powers 700,000 homes while emitting less CO₂ than a hybrid car.

Climate Change is REAL. But activism MUST be rescued from the talons of the IDIOTIC Left. #COP26 (Nuclear plants) & Nuclear power as share of total power consumed:

France (58): 71.7%
Sweden (8): 40.3%
Switzerland (5): 37.7%
USA (99): 19.3%
Russia (37): 17.9%
UK (15): 17.7%
China (46): 4.2%

India (22): 3.0%.

3.0% is pitiful. We MUST make it 30% by 2030, @narendramodi.

With respect sir, such language is unacceptable. Is this a threat? Later on in the thread you warn @BharadwajSpeaks again by writing: "Do nothing to disturb peace and tranquility in the country."

He has stated historical facts, with references. Do historical facts scare you? The tragedy of our nation. This man should have been inducted in the Education Ministry years ago. Instead he is hounded and threatened by those, Right or Left, who fear the past.

The fools don't understand: Nations that fear their past fear their future.

All those who were crying Modi is fascist are today silent as Bengal burns. They probably think Sitaram Yechury, outraging at the violence and bloodletting, is also a Sanghi.

My views on @TimesNow with @RShivshankar.
#DemocracyDoubtersExposed What is happening in Bengal right now happened in Kashmir 30 years ago. Are we going to allow Indians to become refugees in their own land again?

Spine always grows in the back that is against the wall.

To hell with America. Bharat Biotech has already sourced all its raw materials for COVAXIN locally, with Indian manufacturers rushing in to help; and I am sure SII will follow suit.

We stand alone; but WE stand together. Bharat Biotech has already eliminated dependency on US imports needed for COVAXIN, that has an 81% efficacy, a 99.9% success rate against post-vaccination CoVID, and is equally effective against B.1.617 mutant.

America, if YOU need our help, let us know.

Dear @PMOIndia. 20,100 Indians have died of CoVID since the beginning of the second wave. Please provide data as to how many of them had been vaccinated.

The USA has provided this data: Out of 75 million vaccinated, only 5800 contracted CoVID, and only 75 of them died. Data just made public by the govt: Of the 11 crore Indians who got vaccinated (first dose) ONLY 21,353, or 0.019%, later became CoVID positive. The figure would be even lower if you exclude frontline workers.

This is stunning. The vaccines work spectacularly.

Get the jab. NOW. Image

Will Prime Minister @narendramodi talk about the systematic and relentless persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh (East Pakistan before 1971)? Image Multiple Durga Puja pandals attacked and vandalised; reports of widespread looting, arson, and even murders - in a country we liberated.

An appeal to persecuted Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh. Just come home. Our arms are extended to embrace you.

JUST. COME. HOME.

India needs immediate economic as well as structural reforms. We need to cut down on the fiscal deficit, move our labour force away from agriculture; invest more in healthcare and education. We need large scale privatisation.

Let's hope Chief justice Bobde delivers. #Budget2021 It took a pandemic for us to realise that the Health of a nation overrides every other necessity. 137% increase in the Health budget is phenomenal. Fantastic news, this.

The motto of #Budget2021: HEALTH IS WEALTH.

Remembering Sir CV Raman, born this day in 1888. Known for discovering the eponymous Raman Effect, his genius was reflected in diverse fields. He had the child's eye.

Here he is explaining sand patterns on a mridangam to the legend Palakkad Mani Iyer: dspace.rri.res.in/bitstream/2289… And here Sir CV Raman struts into @StPaulsLondon and emerges with the now iconic Nature paper, explaining the real reason behind the whispering-gallery phenomena, thereby disproving Lord Rayleigh.

Genius is that spark in the child's eye, nothing more. dspace.rri.res.in/bitstream/2289…

Twitter is like a Public Sector Bank. Its losses mount year on year; the organisation is run by pompous individuals; the rules & regulations are confounding & absurd; the complaints are seldom heard; the decisions go mostly against your wishes; but everyone who hates it uses it. The threat of censorship is worse than censorship; for it is better to be blind than to be looking constantly over your shoulder.

The Indian courts MUST step in and restore the sanctity of freedom of speech. They must step in and restore @Twitter to being just a platform.

Oh, sorry, hadn't noticed the party and the government the man belongs to. This is fine. Ignore. Carry on. Nothing to see here. To be sure I had taken threats to her by Maharashtra Home Minister lightly, nothing more than abusive bluster by the slighted.

Not anymore. This is a clear threat not only to her but also to her family. Unbelievably sick; more so the silence of her peers.

1. I am appalled to see @BloomsburyIndia, publisher of two of my books, buckle under threats by fascists and withdraw the book Delhi Riots - 2020. I stand in complete solidarity with the authors.

This is an assault on Freedom of Expression and on those who cherish this freedom. 2. A book is an idea, one you may staunchly agree or disagree with. And an idea cannot be destroyed. It cannot fall victim to threats and blackmail by fascists. Books last because ideas do.

This decision by Bloomsbury should be condemned by ALL writers and readers.

From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs. The thin lines that separate anarchism, communism, and revolution are there for a purpose - hopscotch. And these urban naxals turned bourbon naxals have perfected the art of jumping from one square to another.
