Is this the real life, is this just fantasy? Your favourite Bengali bhodrolok NRI feminist doctor auntie. if I ignore you, you haven’t crossed my filters.

encouraging violence in countries outside Sweden. He’ll decide who is ok to die in ‘limited violence’. One day this fire will come home.
Priyanka Chopra is the only Indian actor to have spoken in favour of the protesters in Iran, and she can do it because she’s not in India. Indian celebs are worried it’s islamophobic to speak against the ayatollahs.

I absolutely understood that Saket Gokhale was taking money to live his life as he saw fit, which included holidays, parties and any vices. Sorry for the suffering masses/minions who sacrificed something to send him cash, but your hatred for Modi blinded you.
I’ve seen the footage from
#Leicester
where about 200 supporters of Hindutva took out a rally shouting Jai Shri Ram in a Muslim area. Let me just say to all my fellow Indians, Hindutva has deeply broken our country. Please do not export these divisions worldwide.
When I lived in India, I never did attend a garba because it was strictly by invitation and payment, and only for the Gujarati community. I never saw it as exclusion because garba is not my tradition. I'm not the organiser. What is this entitlement that you can attend everything?
Or? Or what are you going to do? You got someone who clearly has her own axe to grind. Which is ok as opinion. Not as reportage. She interviewed a man who supported AlQaeda attacks and called him a ‘community activist’.
Dear Ms. Mehta - in the interests of transparency for your followers, here is the email you mention. We simply ask you (again) politely to refrain from making personal attacks on our reporter on your site and on social media
The Bajajs were closely associated with the Congress party for over 100 years. They only spoke truth to power when the power was not the Congress party. I understand the nostalgia but it’s not even a good scooter.
From Jamnalal Bajaj to Kamalnayan Bajaj to Rahul Bajaj and now Rajiv Bajaj, this company has had such a rich history of leaders who speak truth to power.
I finally read what Kangana Ranaut said. She is not the first to say that Indian independence was incomplete and that the British left because it was no longer financially viable for them, post war. It’s not that shocking.
I can't get over the judge (Indradip Dasgupta) who turned down a film on freedom fighters for the Oscars because 'we shouldn't have hatred in the age of globalisation'. It's like the entire age of empires bypassed this guy.
No one voted for AIIMS. The British Indian gov’s Bhore committee rec it. NZ and Holland paid for it after Amrit Kaur begged them; the same Brit govt set up the Sarkar committee which rec the IITs. The predecessor of ISRO was in TIFR (thanks to the Tatas and Bhabha).
Fun Fact : India with 12% literacy rate used to vote for IIT, IIM, AIIMS, ISRO and Dams because of Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru.
India with 80% literacy rate is voting for religious bigotry now.
A Hindu temple was attacked in Pakistan. Courts ordered the attackers to pay fines. Clerics have demanded that the Hindu community pay the fines on their behalf, and forced them to do so. This is what being zimmi looks like in an Islamic state.
This man said it was ok for offensive jokes to be made about Hindu Gods. OK. But he is ok with calls for a woman to be put to death for blasphemy when it comes to Islam. He is a de facto Islamist.

Hi, it was invented by an Indian Chinese chef called Nelson Wang, he was born in Calcutta. His restaurants are in Mumbai. This is an Indian Chinese recipe.
There is almost nothing that Russia has done to Ukraine that Pakistan hasn’t already done to India, but the response of the world has been very different.
I have to say I am not comfortable with this idea of making chocolate Ganeshas and eating them or immersing them in milk and feeding that to kids. Please just give kids chocolate and milk. Ganesha is not a toy.
Mulayam Singh Yadav as UP CM ordered firing on unarmed kar sevaks in 1990. We don’t even know how many died, but possibly thousands. It was barely reported in the media as the killings were ‘necessary to save secularism in India’. He justified it even recently. Never forget.
When Akshata Murty married Rishi Sunak. the reception was at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NY. Both were students. No one knew who she was, so when her classmates heard about the Met, they all advised her not to go into debt for her wedding. 😅
It’s not about Modi. You can hate him all you want. It’s about regular Hindus, whom you called extremists, without evidence. While a supporter of terrorist groups was an ‘activist’. We see you

Until 3 days ago, I hadn’t heard of Riva Arora. Now I know she’s a 12 year old who’s had natural or artificial precocious puberty and has been pushed by her ambitious parents to pose with men 3 times her age. This is the worst kind of exploitation.
Why is everyone so agitated about

buying an expensive house? All of you have 2 and 3 houses. The film did well. He made money. What is unusual about this?
I have never seen a member of a film festival jury attack a film in the way The Kashmir Files was by Nadav Lapid. Some films at every film festival are complete duds, but even those are not criticised. They just don’t get awards. There’s a back story that we don’t know. 🤔
Undertook a historic journey to Madinah today, one of Islam's holiest cities included a visit to the periphery of the revered Prophet's Mosque, Al Masjid Al Nabwi, the mountain of Uhud, and periphery of the Quba Mosque – the first Mosque of Islam. The significance of the visit to…
Jordan Peterson thinks Shashi Tharoor is a communist. Indian men can stay in love with him but he thinks your ancestors were savages whom the British civilised.
It appears that the purpose of this department is to incite violence in India.

do Swedish taxpayers know how you are spending their hard-earned money? They’d be interested.
Some of the same armed forces veterans who go all poetic about how they could never rejoice at the loss of a Pakistani soldier in armed combat because of RESPECT for a soldier, etc were perfectly happy to rejoice over the passing of the Chief of Indian Defence forces.
These are all private events. They are not even temples. No one has to invite you to their do if they don't know you or if they don't like you. Do you gatecrash parties like this too? Then why complain when bouncers throw you out?
If you are wearing the burqua to avert the male gaze, you are giving in to it and catering to it. Wearing a burqa to be free of the male gaze is not feminism. It is submission.
I saw a tweet comparing high heels and hijab. Intellectually dishonest because high heels are neither mandated by a religion nor enforced by families and governments. Not wearing them doesn’t stop you from entering heaven.
A few Australian journalists lamenting that Modi popped up at the cricket and that Usman Khwaja had to shake his hand. If it disgusts you so much, tell Cricket Australia not to play with India.
St Xavier’s is a deeply patriarchal institution, just like other Jesuit institutions.I am not surprised that the principal, fake human rights activist Felix Raj, and the board, forced a teacher to resign after she was slut-shamed by a student and his father
If you raise the alarm about a person being a sexual predator only when you no longer like someone’s politics, you put the victim and other women at risk. You also give him the chance to claim it is politically motivated.
Bengalis also do not expect strangers to turn up and attend the puja itself, you can take a look and leave. Outsiders are not usually welcome to stay because there isn't space for everyone.
No one has said it so far, so I will. What Zubair did was an act of stochastic terrorism. That tailor in Udaipur, and many others, would still have been alive if it hadn’t been for his dog whistling. He egged them on because the kufr didn’t know her place
It took the son of a Shahrukh Khan being charged with drug offences for Indian ‘intellectuals’ to feel sorry for undertrials (often jailed for longer than their sentence might be) and think about drug laws. 🙄
