supplier in Delhi. They are saying while we are getting all possible support from govt's, there is a delay of 2 hours due to highway blockades. If it wasn't there then supplies can reach faster as a detour won't be needed.
So 'Indian descent' VP Kamala Harris and niece will not push for US to take basic calls to help other countries during a pandemic.
But they will sit in US and virtue-signal India and everyone else!
Champions of human rights?
Find it appalling secular historians continue to try to 'sell'

to Hindus till today.
The man destroyed 3 of the holiest of Hindu sites amongst others. There are no shades of grey here.
Hindus have the right to hate him & his apologists.

#Gyanvapi
People who routinely mock Hindus for revering the Cow, taunt them, and bat for beef despite laws against it, are all out against comments on other beliefs.
Why this double standard?
Those who did not find godhra a provocation are falling over themselves to call songs and slogans provocation.
Good, hopefully these standards will now be applied equally to all.

I must confess I sometimes feel ashamed that till a few years ago I hadn't even heard of the Kailasa temple, majestic and beautiful, cut out of a single cliff. Unique in its size. For some reason it's just called cave no 16 at Ellora complex and never used as a symbol of India
5 OTV employees have been arrested and 2 have been forced to resign while in custody. Relentless witchhunt against

Facism experts quiet.
BJP served in oppn for decades. Nobody even imagined it would become centre of Ind polity.
Their prominent faces didn't leave for greener pastures. Out of power for just 7 years, Cong leaders do. Why? That's the biggest ques.
Is it coz not ideology, power keeps Cong together?
Indian liberalism is unique.
Everywhere else: Decolonise!
India: Invaders and colonials are part of our syncretic culture. India would be nothing without them.
Everywhere else: Meat is brutal, polluting, unhealthy.
India: Why do vegetarians exist? Let them eat meat.

Till centre was managing the crisis, it went OK.
When it left it to states they dropped the ball. Big time. There is no way to run away from this.
States want control but everything under them during

has failed.
Barring exceptions ofcourse.
How to identify a fake Liberal 101
Instead of welcoming or appreciating you speaking or thinking, a fake Liberal will always try to stop or intimidate you against thinking and speaking your mind.
All this while chiming three buzz words: Constitution, democracy and freedom.
Every successive generation witnesses a
#NupurSharma
type episode. Years of talks can't bring the kind of clarity that comes with watching it unfold before your eyes.
When Indian agencies/industries do this to Pakistani people, universal brotherhood comes under danger. We are told the people of Pakistan are not the enemy, this is narrow mindedness. Why is Pakistan's aggression vs India not recognised in a similar way?
I'm just wondering - do civil liberties and freedom of expression - also apply to movies like the
#KashmirFiles
, which has been relentlessly attacked by industry members themselves or is it just the privilege for a few?
Anything in the Telegraph on Mamata govt allowing less than 10 trains so far with Bengali migrants wanting to come home? No clever headlines? No speaking truth to power?
I don't know why people say religion is personal.
There is NOTHING more communal - that is pertaining to a community - than religion.
To say religion should not be celebrated as a community is the most insidious take.
And only Hindus are told this. You know why...
Mr. Udayanidhi's statement has come as a reminder that despite what people may say - regardless of how many different names they give it - ultimately, the DMK ideology has always been about hindu hatred.
They may try to tell you that there is a difference between sanatan dharm
Farmers leaders are saying after meeting with govt today that they will sit and make a list of what issues they have from the 3 Farm Acts.
Point by point.
So far they were protesting without knowing even this? 😕

Policing is a thankless job.
When protests go violent, they are blamed for not doing enough.
When they try to stop violent protestors, they are blamed for using too much force.
When they try to pre-control a situation (possibly due to inputs), they are told we will not follow.
To say that a religion should be compared not to mere diseases but those that carry social stigma like HIV, is not only deeply offensive to the religion but also highly regressive to patients suffering from diseases that carry stigma.
But alas, this is a commentary that comes
I have consulted a doctor twice today on AIIMS helpline. 9115444155.
I was attended to within mins.
This is after trying some other tele consultation lines which didn't quite yield results.

The best thing for

to do now is to release the reverse of the earlier ad with a Muslim daughter-in-law being showered with love in a hindu household and let all Bigots be shown how a message of communal harmony should really be accepted.
You want to know what fascism & brute majority looks like. See what's happening in Jaffrabad &

is hardly a matter related to this. He did not ask for
'rules to be bent'. Politicians in Australia and ill-informed people are acting like he did.
The original FIR clearly names one channel and 'others' through testimony. But the crime branch notice from Mumbai Police mysteriously and singularly names Republic TV and asks for their viewership data. What gives?
A lot of people are unaware of a basic principle in sports bodies. Govt intervention is not allowed by int'l feds. It invites suspensions.
Athletes have fought for zero govt role over
decades. It may seem inconvenient when u want govt to intervene, but rule exists for a reason.

When it suits you, you use Hindu deities and their stories.
When it suits you, you quote the majestic indic civilisation.
When it suits you, you want religious institutions like marriage.
When it doesn't suit you, all above are rubbish.
9 terrorists arrested by NIA from West Bengal and Kerela.
An Indian journalist along with a Nepal and China national arrested for trading sensitive information to China.
Sometimes you have to wonder, how does 'India' even survive and in fact flourish.

DID YOU KNOW:
The 'judge' who gave bail to

accused was NOT a judge at all..
When the order was passed on Sunday, it was a single non judicial representative of JJB who granted bail.
Tonight, the bail has been canceled and accused remanded to juvenile home.
It's not just the servers that have been changed post death, but email addresses associated with

Why are these key digital evidences being deleted? When these companies are still functioning why delete email ids?
Should a sitting CJI be coloring issues with his opinion?
Did he receive a scientific report on biological gender from doctors?
And most importantly, why is it that it is only men who seem to want to blur the concept of gender and sex?
CJI Chandrachud says there is no absolute concept of biological man and woman, and gender is not limited to genitals.
I guess it's time to be prepared to have men in our washrooms now in India too.
For me, the statement for the day from

speech: people don't have expectations from those mired in negativity.
This is almost a life lesson.

The fact that a Delhi politician is tweeting about this feigning so much outrage and adding so much irrelevant context tells you everything you need to know about this case.
Shocking news coming in from Punjab. A reporter from a BJP supported news channel has run over a Dalit woman, and on being confronted has used reprehensible casteist slurs.
No one is above the law. Punjab Police must take the strongest possible action.

Isn't it amazing that India and Indians were termed warmongers by some within India when we wanted revenge for Pulwama - a terror attack. But Pakistan has not been subjected to any criticism at all by same people for threatening military action 'to any extent' on Article 370
It is on tape today that police starts dragging, arresting someone while forcing a family member repeatedly to just sign the 'paper'. Are these procedures in name only? How can someone not be allowed time in right atmosphere to read what they r signing or understand what's hpng
