Time to detach from NRI terrorists.
As a member of diaspora, I am an aware, active and vocal critic of Hindutva fanatics. I donāt support any form extremism in guise of proud nationalism.
Those who are diaspora/NRIs must decouple from these groups/communities.
RT if you agree.
Reason of this statement has roots to UKās Bradford riots 2001 when British Hindus started resistance against being identified as āAsiansā detaching themselves as British Hindus who are peaceful and hardworking immigrants.
That has changed post 2014 drastically.

For defamation law around the world, the plaintiff is required to prove in court that his reputation and life have been damaged significantly after the accusations.
As described in the following thread, former Indian prime minister Morarji Desai lost defamation case against
American author Seymour Hersh. Desai made a statement on camera how disciplined life he lived which bolstered Harshās defence that Desaiās life had not altered after accusations in his book about Desai.
Indian criminal justice system doesnāt require the plaintiff to prove

Pegasus is forgotten. But in hindsight, itās purpose must not be forgotten in BJPās strategy.
There must be worrying elements in snooped data collected from all the people Pegasus is secretly unleashed upon.
BJP might deny the impact of #BharatJodoYatra and
Rahul Gandhiās recent coming of age performance in connecting with people on grassroots, but the obviously aggressive and hasty strategy of stifling his voice vehemently suggests that Pegasus data decoding mustāve been worrying for the ruling authoritarian regime.

Khalistan protesters targeted a Gujarati passer-by near Londonās Indian High Commission with aggressive abuse.
This is what some of us have been worried about ever since politics of hate has become mainstream at behest of two top Gujarati leaders.
On top of that NRI Gujjus are spreading vicious hate towards all minorities vocally which will inevitably boomerang. I witness it regularly how Gujarati folks get carried away with Indian domestic agenda driven hate outside India.

Thread!
Iāve found it rather amusing that despite massive propaganda and claims of developed Gujarat model under Narendra Modi, why are Gujaratis at the top of immigrants in US, UK, Australia or even obscure European countries.
Weāre made to believe (we meaning rural/semi urban
and otherwise gullible janata) that Gujarat is the land of dreams and prosperity. Economy, infrastructure are world class and businesses are booming.
On the contrary, the largest number of immigrants in US, UK are Gujaratis. People young and old try hook and crook to emigrate

For the record, American researchers have time and time again proven their findings right.
Delve into history and dig out former PM of India Morarji Desai's libel case in Chicago District Court against an allegation levelled by Seymour Hersh naming Desai as CIA mole in his book
Morarji Desai lost the case and Seymour Hersh acquitted by court after six months long trial. In the US, it is the plaintiff who has to prove that the defendant's allegations are false. Desai had to prove that he had never been a CIA "asset"

#BBCdocumentry has not only exposed what happened in 2002 but also exposed how hollow, powerless and weak Modi is in 2023. With aggressive attempts to stifle democracy by banning documentary, heās exposed as a despotic leader in front of the world.
All his PR to project him
as a global leader have been blasted in one stroke.
With his image in a free fall, heās also destroyed Indian judiciaryās once stellar credibility by manipulating and bribing justices offering post retirement sops.

Morbi is in national news because of #MorbiBridgeCollapse claiming 140 plus lives pointing to gaping holes in infrastructure projects and its maintenance as well as administrative negligence.

#MorbiBridgeCollapse disaster that claimed hundreds of lives is a serious issue of privatised āvikasā model where public infrastructure projects are handed to cronies instead of government taking them up.
Massive gaping hole in PPP model thatās been peddled by none other than
Modi himself (public private partnership) washing hands & responsibility off infrastructure that people pay taxes for.
Disasters end up in appointment of inquiries which never reach any conclusion or even report and quickly forgotten in fast changing politics now.

The FIR in #MorbiBridge collapse mentions no names of contractor who was awarded repairs contract.
Oreva, the contractor is a Rs 800 crore Ajanta clock manufacturing company without any construction experience.
Oreva which started manufacturing Ajanta clocks in #Morbi shifted factory to Shenzen in China laying off over 10,000 workers.
Bizarrely the same company was awarded repairs and maintenance contract of #MorbiBridge š³

Whatās happening with Big Bazaar is truly an interesting game of corporate loot.
While the entire country is caught up in communal bigotry, an open loot of Rs 26,000 crores is taking place and no one even talks about it apart from destitute customers posting random woes about
their purchases, warranties and pay wallets without any redress.
Future Group owes banks over Rs 20,000 crores and theyāre fighting in SC against Amazon while most of their stores are literally taken over by Reliance renaming Smart Bazaar.
How this is allowed is beyond belief.

India must be the only country in world which is hellbent upon rekindling doused fires of a troubled land Kashmir even after separatists laid down arms and a prevailed process of peace in favour of electoral gains in rest of the country fanning communal flames.
