As Congress won a landslide victory in Karnataka, this face came to my mind. This is the face of Prashanth Poojary. No one remembers him now.

Prashanth Poojary belonged to a humble Hindu family, which ran a family business of selling flowers in Moodbidri, Karnataka. 29 year old… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Sharing some articles from Siddaramaiah era:

My Tweet thread response to this 2-bit opinion piece on CBC.

This article has been written by one Sarbmeet Singh and an Akshay Kulkarni, both of them Indian immigrants to Canada. But I won’t go for an ad-hominem attack, I would let facts do the talking. The article suggests that Indian Students migrate to Canada because of 2 reasons:
1.Unstable Political Environment in India
2.Lack of Job opportunities
One Karan Singh has migrated to Canada because he fears for personal safety in Haryana.

To boycott or not to boycott is an individual call but let us try and understand the concept of Astras first, to make a more educated decision about Project Boycott Brahmastra. खड्‌गं चक्र-गदेषु-चाप-परिघाञ्छूलं भुशुण्डीं शिर: शंखं:

Part of a Devi Stuti sang by Brahmaji for the first time. It means “Devi has in her 10 hands-Khadga, Chakra, Gada, Baan, Dhanush, Parigh, Shool, Bhushundi, a severed head and Shankha.”

#LalSinghChadha - have we won? - A thread.

Lal Singh Chadha is a lousy movie. And if its first day collections are any indication, it’s going to be a colossal disaster. While Cinema experts will blame the quality of the movie to explain its doom, it’s clear as a day that boycott calls crashed Aamir’s plane.

Back in 2014, there was a copycat on FB. He simply stole TFI logo and name and started copying our posts. Later his ideology changed and he started shitposting. Page admins were furious. They urged me to get the page removed. But I didn’t. I monitored the page.

Continued. it started growing slowly, then steadily and suddenly there was no stopping it.

It had some 2.5 Lakh followers for our 6 Lakhs. And they were getting more vitriolic with each passing day. I was still waiting patiently much to the chagrin of my team members.

No country uses money these days. What they use is currency. And currency is a lie, a complicated lie. Money has an intrinsic value. Currency is a promise and promises are subject to market risks.

“Wee wee wee” - they killed them. They killed women and children also. Boo Hoo Hoo 😭. Oh Come on! - a thread. No one likes to see dead bodies. No one. But that doesn’t mean that, we as a people, start behaving like sissies. And if you tell them to shut up, their response is “imagine yourself at their place”.

Indian Media is pushing headlines like:

"India-China abstain from UNSC resolution against Russia"

It implies that India and China are on the same side. Wrong.

China abstained when it was supposed to vote for Russia.

India abstained when it was supposed to vote against Russia. The absentation of China will please the West as China has always voted for Russia.

The absentation of India will infuriate the West (US, UK majorly) as India has often toed West's line.

India's absentation will please Russia and China's absentation will infuriate it.

China is a civilization that tries too hard to be a country. China has had a tumultuous past. It is riddled with the history of Mongolian invasion, Japanese conquest, the opium wars and the so called century of humiliation.

Modi haters are sharing this video with glee, calling Rahul Bajaj the only man with a spine.

I have an alternate take. Bajaj was everything that was wrong with India. Bajaj made substandard scooters that Indians rode with pride. Reason: There was no competition.

Cont… Bajaj is a Private company with a sarkari attitude. It benefited greatly from closed Indian economy.

Bajaj alluded to the Bombay Club, a lobby of industrialists against removing trade barriers. Bajaj knew that once Indians get hooked to quality, it will be curtains for him.

Shukla is right. While his understanding is way off the mark, the information that he has shared is absolutely correct.

First one doesn’t merit any attention but the second point deserves a thread. So here’s a thread.

Remember those media reports that talked about the martial superiority of Chinese, both as a race and PLA as a warring unit. Every Chinese movie was about martial art and Indian dailies likened one PLA soldier to 5 Indian soldiers.

Hijab Row: a biological/anthropological take - A thread.

Evolution has been most unkind to women. It’s evolution that gave males the advantage that they currently enjoy. The physical size, muscle strength and same energy levels on all days of the month made man what he became. Pregnancy immobilised a woman for at least 6 months while the (pre-marriage era) male was free to impregnate as many women as he wanted. This led to men gaining more and more superiority at the expense of women.
