1. As the day ends & the dust of election settles,I think,despite the losses,congratulations are in order to the BJP-led NDA for having the numbers to form a government for the 3rd consecutive time.All said & done,what could have been a Panipat was averted with a close shave. 2. As of this tweet, this is the final position. Come to think of it, but for UP, Rajasthan and Bengal, these numbers speak a lot but not enough. After all, numbers don't tell the entire story in my limited view as a layperson in the realm of psephology.

I will :-) Unsurprisingly,they are latching on to d edited title instead of responding to the contents of the 4 articles I have written thus far on the subject. At least 6 pieces on Dravidianism are in d pipeline. I expect a lot more whining from Periyarites and Blue Rageboys :-) Late last yr,I appeared virtually from Delhi before d Madras HC for an Intervenor in d Udhayanidhi Stalin hate speech case. By then,I had started publishing d series on d anti-Dharmic origins of Dravidianism after Udhayanidhi Stalin's speech. Here's what happened in open Court.

@KhalidBaig85, I am not at all surprised at your disagreement.If u recollect,in my conversation with Amana ji & u,I had clearly said that reclamation isn't limited to Kashi & Mathura.Since both of u are so keen to get Hindus to support the Pasmanda Muslim cause,here's a thought. The PoW Act expressly states that it doesn't prevent parties from a peaceful return of occupied sites through a mutual settlement. Since you are so concerned about confrontation,why can't you encourage the Pasmandas to support the Hindu case for return of occupied Hindu sites?

1. Starting a book recommendation series. #BR1 is Aroup Chatterjee's Mother Teresa : The Untold Story. It's 373 pages long and at 30 pages a day, it shouldn't take most people more than ten days to finish. On June 8th, I will recommend the next book. Happy Reading. Image 2. Here's my second book recommendation #BR2 : The Goa Inquisition by A. K. Priolkar. It's 110 pages long and at 20 pages a day, the outer limit is a week. I will recommend the next book on June 23, 2023. Happy Reading. Image

Ah now this vile idiot accepts that the "particularities about dates and years are secondary". Lol. Thank you idiot for finally understanding the point that I was more on the Leftist encroachment of IITs thru HSS depts than on the existence of such depts. 2. @Jayati_M93 let's break this down for you,Leftist moron-as a student of humanities who has written on humanities,I am not opposed to the stream.But I am certainly saying that Leftist poison was injected in IITs using HSS depts.Ergo,my opposition is to ur ilk,not to d subject.

1. Spoken like a true Leftist moron. First, if you had the guts you would have tagged me. Instead, you tweeted along with a screenshot of my tweet and now you wish to claim that you were direct in your engagement with me. At least I responded to a tweet which was QT to urs. 2. @Jayati_M93 don't play victim now that you are being responded to in the very same language you employed. Coming to my tweet, true I used the word introduced. In hindsight, I shuda used entrenched and mainstreamed. I shud know because I am a product of one such program.

1. It's been almost 6 hrs since I watched #Kantara and "Varaha roopam.." is still playing in my head in a loop. As someone who thinks he is decent with words,I can still barely find d words to capture d experience that is #Kantara. So I am just going to say what comes naturally. 2. First, kudos and thanks to Team @shetty_rishab for creating this deeply moving experience which has touched people across the world overcoming language & cultural barriers. You have showcased the local with such conviction & affection,and gone global in the process,rightly so.

1. Sir,pls correct your timelines.Syed Ahmed Khan passed away in 1898, when Savarkar was barely 15 yrs old. From 1858 until his death, Khan had built on the Two Nation Theory which was based on the worldview of Shah Waliullah Dehlawi whose seminary Khan was a product of. 2. @Jairam_Ramesh This is an extract from Syed Ahmed Khan's book Causes of the Indian Revolt (1858) which I have extracted on Page 74 of my book #IndiaBharatAndPakistan. Khan referred to Hindus and Muslims as "two antagonistic races". This was 25 years before Savarkar was born.

For the Supreme Court to say this is beyond disappointing at so many levels. This has the effect of absolving all the murderous calls made and the murders committed. Sad day for Bharat that the watchdog of the Constitution has contributed to the chilling of free speech. That Nupur Sharma's comments were preceded by atrocious comments on the Shivalingam at Gyanvapi, or that nothing justifies calls for murder and actual murders, needs to be underscored for the highest Court of the land. This is a textbook case of victim-shaming. Very unfortunate.

1. The position of transformative constitutionalists is as follows :
a. Of course Blasphemy laws must not exist since they impede free speech;
b. BUT the right to blaspheme must be seen in the context of inequality embedded in social relations. 2. Ergo,filthy jokes on Shivling are acceptable because it is a case of punching up against d majority by groups which r "bullied" whereas Nupur's statement was an act of baiting because she belongs to d majority community. Fantastic way of fuelling the mobs baying for her blood.

If punching up is legitimate and acceptable, and punching down isn't, well, Hindus are a global minority whereas the concept of a global ummah is a reality which outnumbers Hindus. So Hindus are right in punching up against the bully which the Ummah must take without resistance. In any case, punching up and punching down cannot dictate the equal application of the law. If such considerations are allowed, we might as well accept that the same provision of the law when applied to Hindus and Muslims must and will yield unequal outcomes.

1. In the next few tweets, I will share a few screenshots from the judgement dated April 13, 2022 of a Special Sessions Court of Telangana in the case of State of Telangana v. Akbaruddin Owaisi. I will merely share screenshots without my comments. 2. Here's a summary of the allegations against Owaisi who has been referred to as Accused No. 1 in the judgement. Accused No. 2 was Azeem Bin-Yahya, the AIMIM President for Nirmal constituency.

At least now, the Government must arm the Hindus of Kashmir to protect themselves. They are vulnerable and they cannot trust anyone, especially the ones they are surrounded by. Tourism is no indicator of normalcy in Kashmir, it brings revenue, which is then funnelled to jihad. Village Defence Committees have been formed in the past. But now individuals from one particular community are being killed one by one to send the msg that they are not welcome in Kashmir. No amount of investment in development in Kashmir will address the problem of mindset.

@sumanthraman Thank you for not responding with specifics and thank you for responding on predictable lines. The weaponisation of Buddhism to pit it against Vedic Hinduism is textbook Marxist/postcolonial trope, which is what I was trying to explain to you. @sumanthraman Each of these so-called Buddhist claims were manufactured to justify the razing of Hindu Temples by Muslim invaders and the Portuguese. When asked for historical evidence and archaeological proof, they would obfuscate just like you.

#RRR 2. I think #RRR is certainly worth a watch, especially for the second half. Absolutely loved the subtext and the imagery of the second half. This much is clear - Kshaatra is being awakened both through real and reel lives, and clearly that's the need of the hour.

1. While Nehru rightly gets a lot of flak for his monstrous blunders,especially on China, V. K. Krishna Menon was perhaps d worst possible individual to ever preside over d Defence Ministry.The other appointment that rivals this one was Maulana Azad's as the Education Minister. 2. Menon's communist credentials, utter disdain for the army, nepotism and insufferable hubris cost Bharat a lot. The more I read on him, the more I am inclined to hold him primarily responsible for the 1962 debacle. Independent Bharat was cursed with such a cabinet. Imagine.

1. Apparently I have already branded d Constitution of 1950 a colonial document in my book #IndiaThatisBharat when I have limited d discussion in d book to d Government of India Act of 1919 and have said as much that I am yet to form my views fully on the current Constitution :-p 2. The discussion in the first book touches largely upon the secular versus religious divide and its colonial history. But I have been very careful about not branding the entire Constitution 'colonial' since it will be examined specifically only in the third book.

1. Now that #TheKashmirFiles has d nation's attention,I wud like to draw ppl's attention to d targeted killings of Hindus in K'taka.Just as Satish Tikkoo was killed by Bitta for being associated with d RSS,#Harsha & several others were killed in Kerala & K'taka for d same reason. 2. It makes no sense whatsoever to treat d killings of individuals associated with d RSS, BJP or BJYM as lone incidents.These killings are part of a larger organised attempt to silence Hindutvawadis.Therefore,d culprits & their benefactors must be prosecuted for organised crimes.

1. Ever since the release of #TheKashmirFiles, people have expressed their serious and justified disappointment with the Supreme Court's failure to take cognizance of the genocide of Kashmiri Pandits citing passage of time and other untenable reasons. 2. Given that the Supreme Court routinely takes suo moto cognizance of even lesser, and sometimes manifestly frivolous causes, perhaps the institution must introspect as to why it has chosen to not exercise this power in the case of Kashmiri Pandits whose genocide is documented.
