@rupasubramanya @nationalpost You shouldnt be excited about this piece. In fact you should be embarrassed.

1/ what you call distortion is actually a democracy at work

2/ the 🇨🇦 govt has historically called out human rights abuses around the world, this is no exception & quite frankly not that controversial @rupasubramanya @nationalpost 3/It's not a small number of farmers protesting in India. There is a reason it is being called one of the largest protests in human history.

4/ Farmers around India are protesting.

5/ Again, the fact Sikh Canadians engage in the democratic process is not controversial.

I'm really tired of the Brampton slander in general, but especially over COVID.

We're a diverse and rapidly growing working-class town y'all love to point at & laugh, with a nice hint of racism on the side, but we keep on working and dying doing the jobs no one else wants.

🧵 This place is home to:

Truckers & logistics workers driving into hotspots across North America, day and night, so you can have the essential supplies you so desperately need - like the toilet paper you idiots kill each other for.

Ethnic Media, Accountability & Disruption

A thread on my observations from years of engaging desi media in Canada, in light of the well-deserved criticism of RED FM & the call for long-overdue reform/rethinking of male/uncle dominated desi media being led by brown women.

🧵 INTRO

Want to start by saying desi media plays a key critical role in connecting the diaspora with what is happening back in Punjab/South Asia and hyper-local issues, as well as communicating in a mother tongue that makes the news accessible in a way the mainstream isn’t.

Finally got to watch @sunny_hundal's #YoungSikhAndProud.

I appreciated it & recommend others to watch it as well.

There are parts I do not like, but the doc deserves much more nuanced criticism/praise than it has received, IMHO.

This will probably be a long thread...oh well. Ill start with this - I consider Sunny a friend I got to really know during the @WorldSikhOrg #AskCanadianSikhs stuff we were doing in Canada to challenge the media's coverage of our community.

Sunny was INTEGRAL to that fight & defended our community in a way not many could.

Breaking news & thread incoming:

@dineshbhatia of @IndiainToronto & @HCI_Ottawa spoke at a recent Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh Canada (HSS) event.

HSS is the international arm of the far right Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu_Swa…

Why is this a big deal?

1/ Let me unpack this for you.

HSS=RSS

The RSS is an Indian right-wing, Hindu nationalist (Hindutva), & paramilitary organization.

Widely condemned as an extremist organization, and reported on by the likes of @CIA, @amnesty, & @hrw
