Todays search for #RSS terrorists in Leicester sent me on a mad goose chase in which I conclude they are not terrorists. And they are not in Leicester. Bravo Islamists that sent us all on a witch hunt whilst they stand behind us in balaclavas with knives. We have been duped.

Hindu nationalism is an issue in India. It is not seeking world domination. Claiming there is a global Hindu supremacist movement may have the effect of creating one. AKA radicalisation. Take care not to perpetuate false narratives and create the threat you claim to be tackling.

Interesting Mumbai attack insight: Kasab, the terrorist, carried a Hindu symbol. They aim: to say that these people were Hindutva terrorists. As it turned out after investigation, these people were trained in Pak, Lashkar camps. The false label of Hindutva terrorists was born.

I look forward to viewing the Kerala story next week. I expect it to have factual innacuracies but I stand by my right to watch whatever I want in this country without it being turned into a foreign imported turf war. @GBNEWS @Nigel_Farage @ShakeelAfsar8

The constant attempts to link the UK diaspora to Indian politics is disingenuous and divisive. Hindus in the UK are British and proud, not sub-continent parrots. I will not fall for it.

"Biased documentary" So did @narendramodi 's actions lead to the 2002 Gujarat pogroms, Charlotte? Yes or No? Only a Henry Jackson Society 'researcher' could be willfully blind to the main point of an entire documentary, so long as it's a concern of Muslims.

We are in some sorry state when British citizens want to seek asylum to escape threats to their life made by fellow UK citizens. Police up your game. Understand the communities you serve. Do not let this man be killed on your watch.

Communities there felt let down by Labour, the city mayor and the media in how they ignored the calculated attack on innocent Hindu families in their homes. Families that were not involved in the Muslim/ Hindu youth violence earlier in the year or the marching.

Such a contradiction that we get so worked up over cultural apropriation yet when it comes to yoga and the karma sutra its like "No. You have silly Gods. That's ours now." Colonialism + Abrahamic faith lens = An inherent disrespect for India and Hindus.

With a deeper understanding of the history and context underpinning the CAA I feel my comment last week was hasty. I believe India is in a unique position to support persecuted Muslim sects and am still grappling with that question. My position on this is not as some say🧵

Going to see it this evening @WasiqUK I find it very worrying how protest is now going beyond issues of blasphemy to opportunistic political protesting. Targeting diasporic minority communities over political grievances abroad.

UK blasphemy regulation: Salman Rushdie's fatwa started in the UK as Brit citizen travelled to Iran to tip Khomeini off. Murder of Asad Shah for Belonging to a "blasphemous" sect. Refusal of asylum to "blasphemer" Asia Bibi for fear of civil unrest in the UK.

And now I'm an agent 😎 And predictably an alt-right islamophobe. The penny is starting to drop on this one for much of the general public - tackling Islamist extremism is not tackling Islam or Muslims. You will find in fact you are the right wing. People are starting to wake up.

Having now seen the Kerala story I can remark that it is a deeply harrowing tale of three young women groomed and abused by ISIS. Yet its undertones were deeply problematic and have caused understandable hurt and concern.

A celebration for all connected to India - seen in the coming together of all faiths to bless & celebrate the Ram Mandir. I've received messages from Sikhs, Muslims and Hindus celebrating today. Proof that moving forward together, as one family, is possible. Jai Shri Ram. 2/2

The ethnic violence in Manipur requires immediate resolution. Deadly clashes, rape, houses burnt to the ground. Perpetrators must be brought to justice. Meanwhile I am seeing worrying trends on twitter trying to blame all Hindus for the henous crimes of a few. 1/2
