Some photographs foretell a story. Vijaya Gadde between Barkha Dutt and Jack Dorsey when Twitter's woke gang came visiting India with a "Smash Brahminical Patriarchy" placard .. Jack lost Twitter, Vijaya got the sack.. and Mughal Gardens is now Amrit Udyan.

look at all the avoirdupois on display, all the woke ladies are so chubby, well fed and otherwise nourished, and very तंदरुस्त on NGO money

and one particular woke who, a la radia tapes, became so cocky and arrogant because of her BIF support that she started to interfere in cabinet minister appointments, is a well known notorious "panauti" (unlucky or bad omen)

anyone seen with her has invariably bitten the dust, sooner rather than later

her "panauti" record is yet to be broken

I think we should set up a commission to fix criminal and civil liability for the volent victims of SM (Twitter/Instagram/FB/Google) and point to crime to media member, SM and members who targeted people

Inciting violence is already a punishable offence, no? so the affected people should be able to file an FIR and get justice in an ideal scenario. The problem may be that law&order is a state subject and the SM provocateurs are protected by their local state govts., and these offences are not serous enough to warrant central intervention. Center does intervene when activity can affect national security as it has done with the PFI.

In one defense forum, after the conclusion of the Iraq War, there were calls by Eurotrash to drag Dubya to ICJ for war crimes or something like that. One US marine responded, "Come and get him".

Rajib Malhotra said in one YouTube video re. Sheldon Pollock. Pollock was asked as to why he is not critical of Xtist and Islamist scholarship. His answer was "why don't you do it? Nobody is stopping you from doing critical study" or something to that effect.

There is no point holding our breath or demanding BBC do a documentary on Churchill's racism which killed tens of millions of Indians.

Of course. The outrage only confirms and validates the racism.

Indians have learnt and internalised exactly where they are in the power structure.


Certainly the Chinese got over a similar hang up about 15 years ago. India is at a similar inflection point. As the Indian state reaches into the upper echelons of the global power hierarchy so will India’s civilisational state approach respectability.

This is how the BIF spreads fake news and look at the sold out presstitute media that carried this planted false news without even checking

It is a fact that this movie was never screened at the Rashtrapati bhavan

The film screening facility at the Rashtrapati bhavan has been shut down ever since this president took over as she has no time for such frivolous activities.

Image

and why didn't @rashtrapatibhvn or any responsible govt agency issue any clarification to refute this

this anur@g th@kur seems disinterested or is being deliberately dense like he was during the goa film festival fiasco where he had invited some israeli clown director to head the jury panel and that commie moron grabbed the chance to speak against the movie "The Kashmir Files"

FWIW: For the record: The film Pathaan was indeed screened at the Rashtrapati Bhavan cultural centre by the association of employees working for the President, and every week, a film is screened there, so Pathaan was not a special screening, and nor was it out of the ordinary...

The mischief was done by SM Khan, who is a former secretariat employee..who called it "special screening" . The “special screenings” is an official event. It is one that is attended by the President, and the President (or any senior staff) didn’t attend Pathaan’s screening this was a regular screening which is organised by PSOI once every week

These screenings are not official events of the President’s office and using her name for such screenings is highly disingenuous.

BTW, the last movie the President did attended at the cultural center was ‘The Kashmir Files’,

Mughals didn’t plant the erstwhile Mughal gardens. The British did.

Presumably it was called Mughal gardens based on a certain style of garden design. Similar to Chinese gardens, Japanese gardens etc.

So, it can be named Amrit Udyan and still be of the Mughal gardens type.

But fools rush where angels fear to tread. These 2 kids are young, naieve and too politically and socially bent to undestand the consequences. They dont understand that with every signature, every policy decision, they are potentially opening up for lawsuits
Reading through the Hunter Biden laptop story - intentionally suppressed and every level and leading to cries of election manipulation.

But Gadde and Parag must be really really worried about how they refused to take down material related to child abuse.

Plus there is this subconscious and inherent racism that is widely prevalent in the USA will make sure they are thrown under the bus to show their place. Imaging getting $40M plus in severance at a time when most Americans now are dragged into huge debt .

With their severance pays, they'd better allocate most of it for their war chest for the court battles . The lawyers know their worth and will charge them knowing it

commie punks in twitter went to the extent of supressing and censoring a sitting amreki president.

and they thought that they would get away with it

someone played them and commie jack on crack, is awfully quiet, having cut a deal via the padres as his uncle is a catholic priest in cincinnati.

in such cases, wheels often grind in mysterious ways and the others, now facing the hearings, have been thrown to the wolves by the puppet masters

they could all be looking at some well deserved serious jail time, for gross interference in a US presidential election

I would have given the picture credit but I don’t know who made this map. (I do suspect, it must be a Tamil speaking surgeon -- seeing "sooth Asia" but HariRam42245512 (an ex BRF moderator says "No Kament". :D)
).

But I think all research centers for South Asia in American universities should use this map.

The hypocrisy of BBC


This clown of a BBC cartoonist @Kirtishbhat who is making fun of Animal Welfare initiative “Cow Hug Day”, should know that in 2020 BBC Healthy Living published a video on subject how the Cow hugging is becoming the world’s new wellness trend.

Isn't this an ole English thing.

IMHO need to do away with it. Replace it with something from our history & tradition

Edit - looks like i am not the only one with that opinion...

As Army Plans To Revise Several ‘Colonial’ Traditions, a Look Back at Its Colourful History
The proposed de-colonisation of the Indian Army (IA)’s elaborate uniforms and trimmings, regimental names, hoary traditional ceremonies, rituals and procedures, including honorary appointments, is expected to alter the force’s overall complexion significantly.

Under review presently by the Adjutant General’s branch, the IA according to recent media reports, aims to soon end ‘archaic and antiquated’ English practices in the force, whose turbulent and colourful founding dates back to the East Indian Company in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Perpetuated subsequently in independent India for 75 years, these colonial associations include caste and ethnically-specific regimental names – like Sikh, Gurkha, Mahar, Jat and Rajput, amongst others – some of their insignias, featuring British and Christian associations and symbols; and institutes and roads in Indian cantonments named after English soldiers who served the colonial administration.

Also on the anvil is the possible termination of the Beating Retreat ceremony, first employed in 17th century England to recall nearby patrolling units back to their castles, and one that has grandly marked the end of India’s Republic Day festivities every January 29, since 1955.
