For decades, the constant endeavour of the amerikis has been to keep us enmeshed in such inanities not realizing bothered that as a sovereign nation we in India are neither answerable to them nor do we acknowledge their assumed high moral rights narrative that they use to beat us down on the international stage

Conveniently, they remain ever blind to their own flawed society, woke and false family values and an almost destroyed social justice system, the ghosts of which are now vengefully returning to bite them in their collective white butts....

They have unleased big data big business entities like twitter, facebook, google and such like wokey and maliciously weaponized allegedly media platforms to interfere in our political, social and religious lives, via algorithms that are increasingly being driven by AI and a lot of it developed by Indians in India working for their development centers, when they are, all the while, trying to move multiple overton window to influence Indians to extend robot like support their nefarious global designs using these very tools to hack the society.

Our own caste conscious, socially armoured, white worshipping local brigade of "brown lives (don't) matter (so much)" empowered wokes form the bulk of their foot soldiers to do their every bidding, especially when the aim is to betray their own brown brethren

Chetak ji, the thing is that Navya Nanda's great-grandfather started Escorts Limited and her dad is the current MD of the firm. She might be training to step into her dad's shoes. Is she campaigning the shareholders to let her into the board?!!!

Your truth is the more credible one.

And media headlines will scream victory for women, on its forum itself many fall victim media shaped behavior. The elite have the masses under control and know exactly control them. It starts from school, identifying good performers, shaping thier thought process, GDs in MBA recruitment, properly placed HR personnel etc.

The ecosystem is beautifully run with public short memory and lack of discipline being exploited.

Dad went to Wharton. She went to Sevenoaks but where she did her baccalaureate is a mystery yet she is 25 yrs old. Being a daughter of an MD of a company with USD 800 revenue and the granddaughter of the chairman of ABCL will trump all, just like our own Rahul G., Ms. Chelsea Clinton, and Ivanka Trump.

can't begin to believe the inanities to which some of the once recognized strategic analysts have reduced themselves to

this pappu pasand persona is swar@ bh@$k@r's pater and is evidently smoking some prime afghani maal available in the environs of the paradise of jnu...

Indeed, what else can an buzurg afghani maal phooker and a topically irrelevant has been, have left to say, except 'vaad-vivad' on pappu's incomprehensible and alleged pearls of wisdom

C Uday Bhaskar@theUdayB·1h

Indeed pithy & thought-provoking address by @RahulGandhi / India's transition from an elegiac 'Hey Ram' to an assertive 'Jai Shri Ram' while eliding 'Jai Siya Ram' is import-laden in the current electoral churn /instead of diatribe, urge this issue be deliberated as 'vaad-vivad'

I think with Kerala govt siding with the protestors, GOI must make sure that through SC that Vzhinjam Port Developers, Salary for employees, Bank Interest Return on Capital is paid from Kerala Budget. Kerala Govt can cut down on its other expenditures, can recover money from interested NGO's.

That way let the protests go on till infinity and let the Kerala Govt and Protesting entities pay through their nose.

Ashok Gehlot alleges mainstream media has 'boycotted' Bharat Jodo Yatra :((
JHALAWAR: Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot on Monday lashed out at the mainstream national media, claiming they have "boycotted" Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra as editors and owners are under pressure.
Addressing a press conference here a day after the the Bharat Jodo Yatra entered the Congress-ruled state, Gehlot claimed the media has completely failed to fulfil their responsibility as the fourth pillar of democracy, and history will not forgive them for that. :mrgreen:

LawBeat·Dec 5, 2022 @LawBeatInd·


Supreme Court says forced religious conversions which are unlawful “a very serious issue”, rejects plea challenging maintainibility of PIL by @AshwiniUpadhyay seeking measures to curb forceful conversions.

SC Adds - “Purpose of Charity CANNOT be conversion”

#SupremeCourt says “good work” by Charities are welcome buy they cannot convert people on pretext of helping them. Top Court has asked Centre & States to file a detailed affidavit on the issue of forceful conversions
Islam and Christianity share 'idea of conquest', says Pope Francis
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/ ... sadiq-khan


and the real truth

Remember what @jsaideepak said - the SC is not monolithic. There are as many SCs as there are as many minds there.

If this petition had been taken up by some other bench, the outcome would've been diametrically opposite.

We have to study and understand Rajni Kothari's two essays on "The Congress System" in 1964 and "The Congress System Revisited" in 1974.

Basically, he says Congress was managing the various sub-systems in post-Independence India and this includes the executive and Judiciary. We think of Congress as a political party and ignore its control over the other parts of the System.
All the turmoil in the 1960s and much later were restricted to the political part of the System only.
RamaY(one who was banned here) has come up with a diagram that he calls "Seven Walls of the Congress System". This was to understand the importance of the 2014 elections when the people who had not given one party a majority since the 1980s elections in their native intelligence decided to give NaMo the majority. This diagram has gone viral on Twitter and am sure people have seen it and wondered.

The seven walls are described in the diagram. Right now we see the judiciary battling the political will of the people. Thats where we are.
Even though the System knows Congress has no power it is marching ahead as that headless torso in Bahubali 1.0.

If one reflects most of the powers that Bureaucrats and Judiciary usurped were in the interval after the death of Indira Gandhi in 1984.
The Judiciary altered the meaning of consult in the Constitution to mean Concur and created the Collegium which is Unconstitutional (There is no article that says a Collegium will appoint judges) and Illegal(There is no law that was passed in Parliament and signed by President). They created judgments like Bommai that gut Art 356. They created extra-legal tribunals as sinecures for their retired judges like National Green Tribunal which refused permission for sewer treatment plants to treat wastewater along the Ganga. They created Admistrative Tribunals to prevent the transfer of erring Babus from Delhi. None of these are legal bodies for there is no Law that was passed in Parliament.
For 30 years since the death of Indira Gandhi, they ran amok and were still functioning despite the second term for NaMo in 2019. he is on record for saying the first term was thwarted by the babus who knew the System will come back with a correction via thugs like SuSwa who was an Iagoan villain.

An example of the System is the invitation to a woke Israeli as jury head to IFFI 2022 in Goa which was to showcase 75 years of Independence of India. This guy has bad-mouthed and ridiculed Kashmiri genocide as vulgar propaganda. Who invited him to the Jury? Its the I&B babus.

MCD Election Results Live Updates: AAP wrests power from BJP, wins 134 seats; Kejriwal promises to make MCD ‘corruption-free’
With 250 wards in the MCD, a party needs 126 to win. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has gotten hold of 104 seats so far, has bucked the trend predicted by exit polls. No exit poll showed the party getting more than 91 seats. The Congress has managed to stake a claim over seven seats. Interestingly, three of these wards were won by the AAP in 2017 and one by the BJP. Independent candidate Shakeela Begum has won the Seelampur seat, while Meena Devi and Gajender Singh Daral have won the Isapur and Mundka seats, respectively.
