Condolences to Sanghi acquaintances,
whose loved ones have suffered in this Modi-made humanitarian crisis, however meaningfully given,
automatically turn into empty words bereft of empathetic emotions..

I intend to show empathy for them...but my voice falters.👇 Each time everytime I remember the phrase,
लगेंगी आग तो आएंगे कईं घर ज़द में
यहाँ पे सिर्फ हमारा मक़ान थोड़ी है

"Oh, yes, that’s one thing which I do regret. Yes, you are right. You see, at that time, what happened was—and I didn’t realise it because I was not watching it closely enough—is that this India Against Corruption movement was heavily propped up by the BJP and the RSS." "This became clear later on. Unfortunately that movement led indirectly to the rise of Narendra Modi because it destroyed the Congress."

I hope all Bhakt youngsters who are agitated over #pubgban realise that a 4 hour notice of #lockdown left lakhs of poor on the roads, /1 a 4 hour notice of #Demonetisation left lakhs of small businessmen begging in banks for depositing & then withdrawing their own hard-earned money./2

Barring 1or 2 States in India, every State has fcuked up with #COVID19 tackling due to unplanned lockdown, messy implementation, inadequate funds, no consideration for poor
+ our Cent. Govt is fcuking up with the sinking economy.
+ our neighbours are scaring the sh*t out of us. + Modi govt is continuing with its theatrics and propaganda rubbing salt & mirchmasala on our wounds.

We are a fcuked up nation.
We will expose ourselves with our rising covid cases soon.

Balls of cement powder mixed with flour are kept as bait to get rid of rats in villages. Rats get killed after consuming the balls & the rodent menace is thus checked. Squirrels fall victim to these poisoned balls at times./1
Only difference being, humans are vocal in their empathy when squirrels die....but not when rats are killed...rats writhe in agony too, rats do have babies, pregnant female rats do exist. /2

When Modi announced a 14 hour #JantaCurfew, did he expect the whole of #coronavirus in india to die/vanish in 12 hours really? No When Modi gave a 4 hour notice for nationwide #lockdown on 24th March by allowing elite to settle in their cosy homes, did he feel migrants would not be seen & heard at all? No.

20 lakh cr is 10% of GDP..so, has our GDP come down from 3 trillion to 2?
Yes it has...shocked no?
Our expected GDP for 2020-21 is 2.04 trillion.

Wait, read further
Apart from RBI actions, only 4-6 lakh crores which is 2 to 2.5% of our GDP will be actually deployed.
Rejoice GDP is in US $ I know 🙄
3 trillion dollar is 210 lakh crores INR.
Expected GDP in 2020 is 204 lakh crores INR but the 10% of GDP won't hold true as

This happens
when our PM talks but can't communicate,
tweets but doesn't mean it,
praises hardwork & demeans Howard,
flaunts his humble background but....
Bhakts know ALL of this
but they have assumed collective parenthood of a spoilt brat
#thalibajao #coronavirus "We were hit with wooden logs and stones when we tried to bury him"

This is the reality...do we wish to know it?

While foodgrains are rotting in warehouses, poor are dying of hunger & walking endlessly ..... our PM tells us to feed 10 people...
Let's all sacrifice ourselves

Italy, UK, Spain, France took part in poignant clapping tributes. They went to their doorsteps & windows outpouring gratitude. Healthcare workers were applauded worldwide.
As millions of people were in voluntary isolation or lockdown, the clapping was a sign of raised spirits/1 On the other hand, Brazil erupted to the sound of banging pots and pans and shouts of "Bolsonaro out!" with housebound protesters expressing their anger toward the President. This was their way of un-bottling their pent-up frustration./2

@rautsanjay61 has written a fabulous piece in Saamana, the ShivSena mouthpiece. 'देवांनी मैदान सोडले'
"Gods desert the (battle)ground."

#economiccrisis , #socialinstability #autocraticgovt #utterdenialofModimadeeconomicblunders #Delhigenocide #kashmirissuffering #CAA_NRC_NPR all of these & much more have taken a toll on most of us peace-loving Indians who reject hate/bigotry & 1/n believe strongly in our Constitution.

I am at loss of words.

Many instances of Hindus helping Muslims & vice versa give a ray of hope. But it is equally disturbing that we get impressed by & HAVE to share such acts of brotherhood even after 75 yrs of independence. 2/n

बंगाली पत्रकार अर्क राजपंडित यांची ही फेसबुक पोस्ट आहे. मला अगदी उत्कटतेने वाटतं की ही पोस्ट भारतातील जितक्या भाषांमध्ये अनुवादित होईल आणि जितकी जास्त शेअर होईल, तितकी ती असंख्य लोकांपर्यंत पोहोचेल. कारण हे होणं अत्यंत आवश्यक आहे. #Kashmir 1/n
मला पूर्ण कल्पना आहे की जम्मू काश्मीरच्या परिस्थतीची तुलना महाराष्ट्रासारख्या पूर्ण राज्याशी करणं संयुक्तिक नाही. परंतु हे केवळ काल्पनिक कथानक असल्याचे भान वाचकाने ठेवावे. आपण हे विसरून चालणार नाही की काश्मीर हे भारताचं अविभाज्य अंग असून तिथेही लोकशाही लागू आहे. 2/n

Modi has copied Adolf Hitler
Agree.....but Modi is far more dangerous than Hitler...
Why?
It's simple...
Modi is our PM, not Hitler
