[Thread] Every dog parent in India wonders why the vast majority of Indians feel uncomfortable and fearful around their dogs.
Let me explain and provide some context by sharing my personal experience and a recent horrifying incident in a Bangalore housing society.
First, let me state that I have no issues with responsible dog owners or even dogs themselves - including the more ferocious ones.
The Wire’s latest non-apology post is a masterclass in deception.
It's funny how they are trying to downplay the fraud they tried to orchestrate though Meta and Tek Fog stories.

I saw the movie The Kashmir Files on Thursday and it was one of the most unbelievable experiences I have ever had in my life. Life will never be the same again, not for me or Bollywood, or the Indian State. [Thread]

Today is Lalu Prasad Yadav's birthday. No politician in the history of India has harmed an entire generation of his state than this man. His greed and corruption not only destroyed the state's progress but made the term "Bihari" an abuse.
His acceptance by the New Delhi's liberal media and Bollywood is what used to boil my blood the most. He sold himself to them as a kind-hearted rustic buffon and everyone was happy to play along because in their mind he was a "secular hero" who had stopped Advani.

Guys, I would like to share a very funny Internet story with a geopolitical twist. This story involves a Delhi School, Philippines President, his die-hard supporters, and a sassy teen.
The current president of the Philippines is Rodrigo Duterte. If you don’t know him, he is *how should I put it lightly* batshit crazy. Just go through this segment by John Oliver
