Police case mean nothing to these guys, especially with the the black frocks being so liberal with the anti nationals. If we don't crush them without worrying about their circulation...they will keep biting.

If they are banned and blocked on the internet too...from where would the circulation go up??

cannot and should not ban without lawful and legal proceeding - else it will set a bad precedent which can and will be used by other states (or other dispensations ) to do the same to throttle dharmic/sanatani/saffron folks.
exposing them on social media and the outrage you are showing is right IMHO.

Damn. I guess I didnt state my intentions properly and may be this was not the right thread. Just wanted to show the cunningness of the rice bags- sending these unsolicited emails with indianisation of their crap. If its not welcome, I'll delete. More of a show and shame.

Thanks for deleting. I did read it before that, and this is nothing new. Maybe this is the first time you got such an email, but the campaign has been going on for a long time, with the same kind of "Indianization," in various forms - verbal (one-on-one/ many-on-one - very much akin to GR/ one-on-many/ many-on-many), SM, email, phone.... And then there was "Kristukavya."

Jack Dorsey has resigned from Twitter.
Parag Agarwal - IIT Bombay and Stanford alumini is the new CEO of Twitter, was its CTO until now.

Will be interesting to see how and Indian (origin) mindset navigates the global scene with a SM platform.

^^^Yes..Know Parag for sometime - The resignation of Jack was a little surprise. Also a new version -- Twitter Blue (now available in US and in a few other countries - with subscription) has been introduced for some time for more serious use. This project is also led by a Indian origin American. (For this version - You pay for it but ads and other annoying things are not there)

Not a close friend but have met several times -- nothing unusual as Bay area has fairly large and close IIT community and people/families etc gets to get together -- Nothing unusual too ..as there is a large presence of these engineers in Tech field - (Google, Adobe, IBM, Palo Alto Networks, and now Twitter run by CEOs, and there are many more at other levels - who grew up/get educated in India).

... and reflect the worst kind of thinking when it comes to India.

New Twitter CEO, eh? Same filth in the same swamp. Stink also seems to be the same going by the above tweets. Only positive is that he doesn't pretend to support free speech, rather seems to prefer a "democracy of the committed". Now, where have we heard that before?

I had watched the episode and was totally not surprised with the non answers this Gade chick gave to Tim Pool.

It was a short time after Jack Dorsey had a one on one with JRE.

But on the other hand I was surprised that Jack would do another one such a short time after the first one.

Somewhat optimistic take. Funny enough the stock market didn't see it that way once the successor became known.
How Jack Dorsey Failed Twitter
While Twitter weighed the most consequential decision of Dorsey’s tenure — whether to boot President Donald Trump from the platform — its CEO was on a private island in French Polynesia.
it’s more likely that Jack was out a year and half ago
I know nothing about Parag Agrawal, but it’s interesting that they chose a tech guy and not a media guy. I can tell you one thing: If he’s spending 100 percent of his work time on Twitter, even if he’s just okay, he will be better than Jack. It’s impossible this won’t be a big improvement.
All of this is going to be moot by the end of 2022 because Twitter is going to be acquired.

Wow! Are you guys for real ???? (No need to take screen shot for such ignorant/hateful posts - these posts are still here after few days in BRF - Simply wow!)
- One can use a few mouse clicks - and check it with some reputable newspapers, eg <here> to see Shreya's, her husband Shiladitya Mukhopadhyaya ( also a techie) and Parag and Vineeta are close friends (for years).

- Equally amusing (and IMO quite disgusting) is NYT, Dr. Audrey Truschke (of dismantle the Hindutva gang fame) are joining the chorus that it is all "RSS/Hindutva" ki sajish to import "caste / anti dalit / anti_muslim" policy to take over US Tech industry by Brahmins! These Einstein are no more smarter -- some are even pointing to them that 'Agrawal' is not exactly a 'Brahmin'!!!

Here is what Suhag Shukla (HAF attorney who is suing Penn U/Truschke etc) has this to say for Parag and this episode:
Indian men are reduced not just to their race & sexuality, they have to answer for their religion, and if Hindu, their "caste."

And if this Indian American can mis-caste Agarwal as "Brahmin," what will UC Davis do?!

Not really - EXACTLY the opposite - but there are lowlives/india_haters who think that Indian Brahmins, who are not only killing minorities/dalits in India, discriminate against dalits in usa too...

But I waste my time here, as I see even more ridiculous posts..

Last post from me here about this.

Happened to be able to talk with Parag as a lot of congratulations are being poured in...Congratulations to Him, IIT Mumbai and Indian Education in general.

I expected lot of such post from usual sources (Yes Pakistani press is going really bonkers - seeing another "Hindu" as CEO) - I was a little surprised to see this in Brf - but perhaps I shouldn't be - There are plenty of such vocal trolls in India too.)...
For them I leave this..

Being from IIT or India or whatever is not relevant, when it is clear that he was/is fully behind twitter's biases that works against native Indian narrative, so all this caterwauling about not acknowledging this parag-whatnot's career achievements is OTT. Another corporate tool who has to jump to the orders of the company's board and who will head a global firm that will continue reinforcing hateful attitudes against Indians and hindus is nothing to celebrate.

rsingh-ji is right about that -- There are multiple silicon valley based NGOs that are now giving lectures in US corporations about casteism in the US tech industry, and there was an NPR program about that, also appeared in NYTimes, Bloomberg etc. --any doubts whether someone in Parag Khanna's position will speak against this narrative? If you believe that, maybe you also believe that the western world and its minions will join hands to provide free vaccines to the world in the spirit of humanity... just saying

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/14/opin ... ation.html

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features ... con-valley

I am surprised people think this guy becoming CEO of twitter will result in any change in Twitter's racist biases.

How exactly is this "clear"? Because he didn't revolt like Mangal Pandey when True Indology got banned? :D

He may very well be biased regarding their editorial or content policy, but we don't have any data about that yet. He works on their tech side, and has evidently been brought in as CEO to spearhead technical innovations (which Dorsey largely ignored). So, there is no indication that he personally supported whatever was going on up to now.

Not supporting something != falling on your sword and sacrificing your career to oppose it, by the way. As if his sacrifice would have actually achieved anything.
--any doubts whether someone in Parag Khanna's position will speak against this narrative? s.
Speaking of data, it's always a good first step to get the person's name right.

^^^ Because he was the CTO of that firm under Jack before his current elevation as CEO, so he was fully cognizant of Twitter's policy -- public knowledge. May help to pay attention.

Why? Don't really care who he is or what his name is, as opposed to what he is likely to do, unless this 'data' has implications on twitter's policies under him.
