Ex-journalist and author of 2 books who says it like it is.

X suspended my account for months. No idea why. They restored it after a complaint. What do they not like about me? Must be because I am here on X mainly to read and comment. They don’t like that. So I decided to post once in a while. Most reluctantly. X has weird rules.

By that logic Indians, mostly Hindus, should be burning Britain down. The British literally took the richest country in the world and made it the poorest. They murdered the brilliant minds and starved the masses.

India has a large Muslim population. Yet Muslim refugees from India don’t seek refuge in the West. Refugees run from violent countries where they are persecuted. Likely violent themselves. Yet the West, Middle-East, China and Pakistan berate India about rights of Indian Muslims.

I am Indian. Pakistan is trying to destroy my country with the help of China.
I’m Iranian. Islam has destroyed my country.

And the nicer the Hindu diaspora are, the more it’s seen as weakness.
"The dilemma for the West is that the nicer we are, the more fundamentalist Muslims see it as a sign of weakness."

#SaveAnojanSivarada 🥲 In Saudi Arabia, Anojan Sivarasa, a 24-year-old Sri Lankan Tamil Hindu migrant worker is facing a death sentence in Saudi Arabia after posting a comment on Facebook insulting the Prophet Muhammad. But first, the Muslim guy insulted a Hindu god first, and then he retaliated after that. He was initially supposed to get 5 years in prison but then they decide to adhere to the strict Sharia Law, now he's on death row. It's very dangerous in Islamic countries, best to stay the hell out of Islamic countries. This man needs help and we need to get the word out and help this man.

I doubt that @DettolIndia plasters are being sold on BB now. Unless some poor souls paid 40k.

The Omani pilot asked the Indian pilot if he could leave his seat to pray and after being granted permission, he attacked the Captain with the axe from behind. This is actually a great metaphor for the west.

It’s funny - White people exposed to Khalistanis in the West are under the delusion that Khalistanis support an active movement in India! What a joke! Sikhs in an India are anti-Khalistan. They will fight these terrorists if they dare set foot in India.

This is what Modi said when the FlyDubai pilot apologised for crying in front of him. “Mere saamne nahi roge to kiske saamne roge?” Can you imagine that!!

Problem is that because X allows racism there is hardly any intelligent discourse on this site. People lurk here for voyeurism - to see the worst of humanity. Is this what Elon Musk wanted I wonder.

By accepting reservations they are accepting their inequality.

From the latest IIT incident, if one goes by X only, the caste divide is clear. SC STs hate Brahmins mainly because of the past. Other castes hates SC STs because of current privileges.

On the 9th day of Ganpati in Pune we were returning home at 11 pm. We expected processions and crowded roads. Okay. Even the wild dancing - uh ok. But when we saw crowds outside liquor shops which are normally shut, it put everything into perspective.

A group of fishermen in India saved an elephant calf from drowning in the Teesta River. It got into trouble while crossing the waterway with its herd.

Look at this newsflash from @TimesNow carefully. It looks completely innocent. 45 student suicides. Then comes the highlighted line: 28 “Victims” from SC, ST and OBC. Sounds powerful. Now let me show you what disappeared from the graphic. General Category: 16 OBC: 12 SC: 9 ST: 7 EWS: 1 Interesting, no? If we compare every category separately: General Category has the highest number. Sixteen. But somehow that number did not deserve the headline. Apparently, some deaths need caste labels. Some deaths can remain in the background. Are those 16 students less human? Did their parents cry differently? Was their mental health less important? This is exactly how narratives are built. You don't always need to lie. Sometimes you just highlight one number. And quietly hide another. The Constitution begins with equality before law under Article 14. Article 15 prohibits discrimination on grounds including caste. Yet even a student suicide is now presented through selective caste arithmetic. SC student dies. National debate. ST student dies. National debate. OBC student dies. National debate. General-category student dies. Not even a footnote. 45 young Indians died. That should have been the headline, TimesNow. Not 28. Not 16. Not SC. Not ST. Not OBC. Not General. 45 students of Bharat. If we cannot even mourn children equally, perhaps the problem inside our country is much deeper than we think.

High scorers/bright students get respect - whether in school, college or any academic institution. No matter what caste. Low marks = no respect. To expect respect when you get admission on low merit is asking much, too much.

1st time I ordered from @instamart_it . I ordered 2 packs Ganesh bhel which comes with chutney . Instead I was delivered only 1 pack. The other pack was some cheap Laxminarayan bhel. No chutneys. On complaint a lady said nothing can be done! Qty less, price less!! Cheats!
