How to manufacture a hit job against the govt by exploiting the lazy stereotypes that come up in our collective minds.

Here's how @ThePrintIndia planted this sly insinuation that the Modi govt believes Gangajal will cure us of Covid-19 An NGO reaches out to the govt asking if a scientific study can be conducted on the effect of bacteriophages found in upper streams of the Ganga.

They're not claiming Gangajal has magical properties that will cure you of Covid-19.

A short thread on @SwarajyaMag team's small Bharat Darshan - #Kashipath2019 - our road-trip from Bengaluru to Kashi aka Varanasi.

We covered approx 2000km by road and visited over 15 places of great historical and cultural importance. Our plan was quite ambitious - to try and see so much of India in so short a time was quite a challenge.

We saw places of great natural beauty, places of learning, centres of architecture and even prehistoric art in rock shelters

The possibilities India offers - amazed!

Beginning today a team from @SwarajyaMag comprising of myself, @arvindneela, @astrokaran and Jones are setting out on a 3,000km road trip.

From Bangalore to Banaras. To visit all major heritage sites en route. For day 1 we plan to cover Lepakshi and Penukonda, and reach Hampi for the night.

The entire 3k-5k km trip travel is sponsored by @savaaricars

See you in Lepakshi next!

On Jan 27, 1967 three US astronauts who were part of the Apollo programs died a gory death *on the ground*. A freak fire accident killed them in the command capsule they were supposed to be going into space.

It hurt the Americans like hell. The three astronauts who died knew the dangers and hence this parody photo.

Ed White, Gus Grissom and Roger Chaffee are still remembered.

The *entire* Lutyens media ecosystem has been out to create an impression that Kashmiri students are being attacked everywhere.

Turns out *not even one* Kashmiri student has been hurt so far. Many media and activist types have been caught spreading fake news about attacks etc. On Pulwama:

Anti-Modi journalists want a commission of inquiry into how this lapse of intelligence happened.

But intel was there, it just couldn’t get very specific.

Given sheer no of convoys/potential targets suicide attacks are just so hard to prevent.

A short thread. I'm sure this is only a partial list. Ramalingam, murdered. Opposed conversions by Islamists.
