Yes, and he also lost his old citizenship not because of US pressure but because kangarooland prohibited dual citizenship for its joeys back then. That changed later.

IIRC, this was a few decades back, Rupert Murdoch wanted to buy a major Hollywood studios (may be 20th Century Fox). Since all media (newspapers, radio, TV, film) in the US need to be owned by US citizens, he had to acquire US citizenship.

UBji, the law in India forbade foreign ownership of newspapers, radio, TV. Until the rules were relaxed by ABV/MMS. You can see the effect of foreign ownership on English news channels (for ex. rNDTV)

Now, GoI cannot put the genie back into the bottle without the entire liberals/psuedo-seculars shouting bloody murder, fascism, emergency, blah, blah, blah

MAD should use the "National Security" Astra on this while they still have Parliament majority etc. May be building up to that. No one is going to scream with any credibility if, say, foreign ownership is limited to 30%. Force them to divest. Already UndieTV etc have their "hearts and minds" in the govt's tax vise, so this cannot be very hard.

The author makes an interesting point about owners controlling editorial content. Media owners don't actually have to give directions saying " do this or that or else.....". As one who has had exposure to the media business, I can say this. The way it works is something like this. Journalists have an instinctive feel of what works and what doesn't. In other words, every journalist doesn't look to Jeff Bezos for figuring out what would work and what woudn't to get ahead. He only needs to worry about what his immediate boss would want. And it goes all the up top. Before you realise the owner gets what he wants! Sometimes it goes to the other extreme where a phenomenon of 'more royal than the king' surfaces with journalists would want to go beyond what Jeff Bezos would have been happy with. Washington Post until recently was a loss making enterprise. While it has turned the corner there is no telling when things could turn for the worse. Let's face it there aren't too many journalist jobs going around.

Saif Ali Khan says- "There was no concept of India till the British came"

Is that why his family, which ruled Bhopal, begged Jinnah to include their entire kingdom in Pakistan in 1947 ?

Is that why his great grandfather, the Nawab of Bhopal, called Hindus "untrustworthy"?

It should not be a surprise to anyone that saif has named his son taimur.

and gaddari seems to be the family profession

his ancestor Faiz Khan defected to britshit side during 2nd Anglo Maratha war and betrayed Marathas.

August 2 1947.

Saif Ali Khan's great grandfather, Nawab of Bhopal wrote a letter to Jinnah.

He clearly states

1.He is staunch supporter of Pakistan. He wants to merge Bhopal in Pakistan. Hindus are untrustworthy.

2. But Bhopal is 80% Hindu surrounded by India. He was cut off

This tactics has been discussed on BRF before ...

The liberandu Indian media is unable to sway the Indian public despite their misleading and provocative coverage. The game has been to rope in the "bestern media" via Butt, Ayub and gang to put pressure on the "bestern government" to put pressure of Modi.

With SC no longer giving "phone pe" judgements it has become the only option apart form violence. Violence has its own demerit in that it polarizes the society and is a last resort, it too has lost some of its edge after the recent UP government's initiative of asking the protesters to pay for damage to property.

Basically confirms what the message has gone down to masses. This is precisely what AK has smartly kept himself away from. And this is precisely where advisors of RaGa have pushed him to electoral doom.
https://m.economictimes.com/news/politics-

NEW DELHI: The Congress party has categorically rejected the claims that they are opposing the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) in toto but say that they have only objected to the exclusion of a community in the amended Act.

Senior party spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi said on Sunday that the Congress is not opposed to granting citizenship to Hindus.

Singhvi said: "The Congress is a party which always wanted, welcomed and supported the grant of citizenship to Hindus and other communities. What we are opposed to is why should we deny citizenship to a particular community - that is my question as a political party."

Doesn't matter what clarification CON gives but as Yashwant Deshmukh points out, the common man on the street has understood that CON is against Hindus getting citizenship. There was no nuance in you message so now deal with the fallout.

I see her specifically going after people who were holding Indian flags. Yupe, these are our IAS offices who supposedly serve the nation and the flag.

my guess would be that the history buffoon is a sunni

AFAIK, khan can be either shia or sunni

per wiki

the family traces back to the Barech (also Baraich, Bareach, Barreach) which is a Pashtun tribe.

The religious and cultural definition requires Pashtuns to be Muslim and adhere to Pashtunwali codes. ... Pashtun society is not homogenous by religion: the overwhelming majority of them are Sunni, with a tiny Shia community (the Turi and partially the Bangash tribe) in the Kurram and Orakzai agencies of FATA, Pakistan.

All rulers bore the title of Nawab.

Is she an idiot or a real companion of Zero ji. This forgiveness concept is blood money as taught and implemented in Islamic society. Courts give 2 hoots to what Sonia did or what anyone else would do. Assassins of RG would have not got the death penalty as assassination does not come under rare of the rare crimes so Nalini always was protected against death penalty.

I wonder if all those clamoring for life sentence now instead of death penalty ever appeared on behalf of the victim for quicker disposition of the case. During all this time they were busy minting money thru NGO and fake PIL route.

Guys, based on comments here, I saw the movie Tanhaji this past weekend. There was no psec stuff as far as I can tell. I was a tad disappointed that Aurangzeb was not shown as the unadulterated evil that was. But then again, I am not a self proclaimed 'history buff' like that Jihadi in mufti thug Saif Khan, and I understand this movie centers on Maratha history and valor. Not a bad watch, but OMG, I hardly see any Bollywood/Hollywood trash except for song & dance on YouTube for light entertainment over a few drinks, but I could not believe ticket prices are so exorbitant nowadays. I paid $14 at the AMC theaters here in Dallas, TX

.

Anyway, if I see good reviews from trusted gurus here on the next movie Shikara narrating the ethnic cleansing of Hindus from Kashmir valley, I will spend another $14 to see it

. But my hopes are not high. Reason being that with Pakis in Indian Mufti like Harinder Baweja is praising it, this blow hot, blow cold de-facto Lutyen Khan market dude Rahul Pandita is praising it, I am not so sure. Here is my tweet to Baweja:

You praising the movie makes me suspicious: some 'Kashmiriyat' crap, blaming Jagmohan etc. Read Jonah Goldhagen's "Hitler's willing executioners" on ordinary Germans taking part in evil. Similarly, any portrayal that obfuscates the role of Pakis & Kashmir Muslims is an evil lie
