This seems to be a long standing problem with the so-called Brahmin community in India. The commie leader of Kerala, E.M.S Namboodirippad & his family had ran away from their palatial house in Ernad Taluq (today's Malappuram district) to a village in Cochin Kingdom during the infamous 1921 Moplah riots. After the riots were suppressed these folks came back, and this person as a communist leader goes and states that 1921 Moplah was actually a class struggle. Then there was another one M. Brahmadathan Namboodirippad who was a Congress party worker when the riots happened. His auto biography eulogies the Islamist fanatics who had terrorised, killed, raped & converted Hindus; mainly from the non-Brahmin castes. And he goes onto add that Brahmins any way were sitting ducks, so deserved what they got. Both these were actually Kerala Brahmins, and this has been their stance once the British and Malabar Special Police (which thankfully only had Nair, Ezhava/Thiyya, X'ian people as recruits) suppressed the riots.

Meet progressive bigot Sohini Chattopadhyay.

She works at the CEPT University, Ahmedabad.

Her university’s land was donated by a Jain philanthropist. She is working in Gujarat.

But still she dehumanises communities. Progressive indeed.

On Instagram, handle "India" (which is verified) is run by a private international company Travly.

They spread active political propaganda with India name.

Very bad for country's PR.

A patriotic song was sung during the Vande Bharat inaugural run by School children in Kerala. Which is also adopted by the RSS as their GanaGeetham. The Commies, Jihadis and Congis started attacking the singing of the said song. It went Viral after that and more people came to know about it. Sadanandan master's daughter singing the same song.

The mughals were co-opted by the Britshits and during Mughal rule the Britshits cozyied upto the mughals and slowly infiltrated them. The side activities for the Brits posted in India was not exactly victorian in nature and they adopted customs of mughals like harems and so on. Abrahamic culture coalesed during these times. Many mughal darbar paintings show a brit character amongst them. Brit Doctors infiltrated the mughal system and often times the Brits provided pretty women from their various conquest worldwide especially the middle east (turkey, oil kingdoms) to the Mughal darbar. Eventually the Brits threw out the mughals mainly due to the maratas who nibbled away the Mughal empire.

India was being changed culturally to accomodate the Abrahamic influence. Hindus were brain washed and took on the Stockholm syndrome (sympathize with the abuser). Even today indian brown sahibs think of both rules as benign, while their women were raped and defiled. The Britshits managed to loot all wealth of India and also cause the largest holocaust in the world - 200 Million dead by famines and wars due to the Britshits. Many customs of India were changed to suit the Brits. This hanuman chalisa episode requires further research since it was used to entice indian women for other activities by the Britshits. Sati, devadasi systems did not exist in Hindu culture. The Brits created them and the propaganda for such took on global dimensions. Indian women display arts/crafts in temples based on 64 kalas. Dancing was done to show their craft. It was not used for any other activity like the Britshits portrayed them.

We cant blame everything on the brits.
Even though Renuka Devi mahamtme is a part of our hoary past, but what turned out as Yellama and Yellammagudda culture was bad.

Many customs originated with the invasion as a means of survival. The ancient Rajas of India were bound by Dharma and such practices were not tolerated by the ruling entity, certainly not in temples. The Brits were traders trying to make a buck. They morphed into a virulent kind indulging in all kinds of illegal stuff including slave trading, hashish drugs and more. The entire colonial conquest wrecked many native cultures and customs. The whole civilized world was set to new norms.

Asra Nomani's "Woke Army" should be required reading for every BRF-ite.

It is a detailed (and very readable) account of the decades-long campaign by Islamists to infiltrate American politics, especially left wing politics.

There was a time when it was secular, Nasser-type Arabs who spoke up against Islamism who were actually celebrated by the Democratic party. The CAIR/ICNA/Two-Circles project that began in the 1970s was aimed specifically at discrediting these types of scholars as collaborators, and entrancing American leftists with romantic notions of Syed Qutb's Islamism being the source of TRUE anti-colonial political expression in the Muslim world.

Israel and the CIA went along with this because they identified the relatively secular pan-Arab nationalists (Gaddafi, Saddam, Assad) as their chief enemy and Islamists as a potential asset-- a point of view that was reinforced during the Soviet-Afghan jihad.

Today Israel (and its proxy AIPAC) have been all but outmaneuvered by the Islamists throughout the American political spectrum, from left to right.

Well, the Leftists aided Ayatollah Khomeini. Once he came to power he wiped them out.

The Communist Party of India aided Jinnah’s Muslim League. How much leftist presence is there in Pakistani politics?

Once the articles are written and filled by the volunteers, now they have restricted access to articles to editors who edit 500 articles per month. This is specially linked to India related articles. May be they figured out India related articles brought more visibility to India and content related to India. The rot is setting in to many more pages other than controlled by elite editors. There is space for competitor now. Also govt can look at this role change and put penalties.

Given the "location" feature that was turned on in X/Twitter that shows that many accounts purporting to be Indian are actually run from abroad, I think a BRF moderator policy on propagating material from X is needed. One might be, if quoting a tweet, also quote the location of the account as revealed in X.

The new attack on India’s GDP growth is that it is growth without development.

This story is used - two men were out for a walk. The first said to the second, eat this grass, I will give you Rs 100. The second ate the grass, got Rs 100. After a while, the second said to the first, eat this grass, and I will give you Rs 100. The first ate the grass and got Rs 100.

After some time, the first asked the second, what did we gain by all of this? The second said, we increased the GDP by Rs 200.

Similarly, India is supposed to have GDP without development. Nobody is better off, or the common man is not better off, or whatever.

This comes from The Wire. Yet another attempt to demean India, IMO.

The two guys were Paki fraands of the Wire. They gobbled up the grass using fake Rs. 100 notes. Hence no development. The poor Hindoo bania growing the grass on his land for cattle feed (which counts to the GDP) got screwed. There you have it.. GDP without development. :D

Meanwhile in Pakistan the story of irrepressible Islamic growth can be told with the same analogy. Two men were out for a walk. The first said to the second, if you eat this grass, I will give you Rs. 100. The second man ate the grass. The first man said "the joke's on you, I don't have Rs. 100". The second man said "No, the joke is on you... at least my stomach is full".

But in all seriousness, The Liar's argument is based on the premise of utilitarian theory: that anything (e.g. having a companion of yours eat grass) has a value equal to its utility to you, and no other value besides. Utilitarian economics is the basis of capitalism: a thing is worth what someone will pay for it, because from their POV, the thing has a utility (use) which justifies the amount paid.

In contrast, Marxist economic theory says that a thing has value based on the labour put into it. If somebody goes to a mound of dung and spends two hours transferring that mound of dung from one place to another with a shovel, then the mound of dung magically has value; not because anybody needed it to be moved, but simply because some person put time and effort into moving it. This is the basis of how the Marxist ecosystem in India's Academic and 'Cultural' circuit sustains itself-- the khadi-clad jholawalas move dung around that nobody else has any use for, and then congratulate each other on their revolutionary achievements.

There was an extract from the speech of ADG Strat Communications in some forum that was tweeted by ANI last week. He talked about the sheer deluge of cyber attacks and 'Misinformation, Disinformation and Malinformation' by Pakistan right from the word go. 3 crore cyber attacks on NSE itself were recorded. I think it is time to consider the Pakistani Info and Cyber Warfare setups also as legitimate targets for kinetic operations in the next round.
Have shared some thoughts on that along with some media.

Twitter Link
Blog Link
On Blurring the Line Between Cognitive and Kinetic Warfare


What caught my attention was the very specific statistics that General Sharda put out in his talk.
However, the most interesting part was the fact that the attacks were launched within 30-40 minutes.
THIS is what caught my interest.
Let me explain why.
The sheer numbers of attacks and their ‘bombardment’ through cyberspace within 30-40 minutes means that the Paakis were already prepared even before the first Indian munition was fired on 7th May 2025.
They knew India would attack. And they were prepared for it.
They were prepared not only militarily, but also in terms of info warfare and cyber attacks. I think it would be a fair assumption that such planning would already have been in place since long. And when the time came, it all was let loose in a torrent.
This was the same template that they let loose during Balakot when the then Propagandu-in-Chief was the first one to announce the strikes, thereby taking the initiative in the war of narratives.

First ‘true visuals’ of the strike too were let out on social media by the same Propagandu-in-Chief soon thereafter. In doing so, Bhikharistan took a lead on the narrative front.
How effective that was the long run, I shall discuss later in this article.

My reason for bringing that out all over again was to highlight the fact that Paakis flooded the social media landscape with so many falsehoods and different versions of actual truth that true facts virtually drowned in that deluge.
As Maj Gen Sharda mentioned in his video embedded in the first tweet, we were bombarded with ‘Misinformation, Disinformation and Malinformation’ on the first day of Op Sindoor.
Hereinafter, as per Paaki plan, we were to once again be playing catch-up on narrative front while military facts would get obliterated under this flood of ‘Misinformation, Disinformation and Malinformation.’
Unfortunately, Paakis were once again caught fighting the previous war!
This time, there was no questions of missing visuals of Indian attacks and utter and complete impotence of the Brown Panted Ones to either prevent them or retaliate against them.
This time the Awaam themselves provided proof.
.
.
Btw, don’t miss what is said in the video above.
A minister in Pakistan Govt announces publicly in their very SENATE that they have attacked Indian Dams via a cyber attack.
What bigger a smoking gun can we ask for?

IMO, in this instance of Op Sindoor, the battle was convincingly won by India both in the Kinetic as well as the Cognitive Domain.
However, fact remains that even though Kinetic engagements may have petered down, attacks in the Cognitive domain still continue. The good General himself says so.
This is where I come to the question that triggered this chain of thoughts :
Is it time to consider Kinetic actions against warriors of the Cognitive domain as well, whenever the inevitable next round comes?
Mull over it for a moment before moving ahead.
Personally, I most definitely believe that time has come to physically eliminate the IW infrastructure, including its manpower, whenever the next opportunity presents itself.
A keyboard warrior in today’s world is just as lethal as one with a rifle in his hand.
Period.
.
.
It is a given that info warfare is a highly delegated operation with multiple nerve-centres feeding millions of individual social media users. However, fact remains that nerve centres play a highly important role in setting narratives and giving course-corrections wherever needed. While Info Warfare goes on unabated across national boundaries and without any distinction between uniformed and non-uniformed ‘warriors’, official information channels still play a key role in providing critical raw material for manipulation on social media.
These nerve-centres are what are identifiable on ground & should ideally form part of the target list whenever the next Indian missiles & bombs fly Westwards. By choking the flow of info from official channels thru physical elimination, Info Ops on the other side will definitely be hobbled.
.
.
The beast needs to be dealt with, not just in the same coin, but with brute physical force.
Once again, as General Sharda mentioned in the video above : ‘War is about making the adversary submit to your Will.’
To that I shall add that any & every means towards achieving that end is justifiable. Even if it means physically destroying the network supplying narratives & inputs to Info Warriors, as well as Info Warriors themselves.
THIS is the sum total of what I want to say via this blog post.
As far as the ‘FANTASTIC’ Bhikharistani win of Feb 2019 goes, it did them a fat load of good barely 6 months later when India abrogated Article 370 and all that they could do was make a song and dance about it!
