Speaking out against injustice and seeking to reform society with one's words/tweets/posts/articles is a moral obligation. This is why I write, and this is why we should.

For nearly two months this book has been adorning my desk, and Pt. Nehru has been speaking to me, asking me to be a proud but responsible Indian.
Having turned the last page today, I thank @ZohranKMamdani for quoting Nehru in his speech, and thus inspiring me to read this book.

@Prithvi10_ Yes, in 1944.

@tjoseph0010 Well said

A more precise statement: All modern humans have an unbroken lineage of about 300,000 years going back to Africa. All Indians carry a genetic lineage going back about 60,000 years to the arrival of the Out of Africa migrants. All Indians also carry the genetic lineage of the people who would go on to build the Harappan Civilization, a mix of the Out of Africa migrants and later migrants from ancient Iran, going back to perhaps 7,000 years ago. Most Indian population groups also carry the genetic lineage of the Steppe migrations from Central Asia between 2000-1500 BCE that brought Indo-European languages to the subcontinent, as also the East Asian migrations that brought Austro-Asiatic languages after 2000 BCE. Yes, we do carry a long genetic lineage, one that goes far beyond 5000 years, as we are a mix of multiple migrations into India that happened in prehistory.

@Thebiglade Yes, once during my college days. All the boys had gone home for the vacations, and I was the only guy in the hostel. And I really enjoyed the feeling. Complete privacy; I could literally walk to the bathroom at the end of the corridor in my birthday suit.

Zero Civic Sense
→ Spitting and peeing in public places
→ Honking and disobeying traffic rules
→ Ignoring shoe-racks at clinics and masajid
→ Talking loudly in restaurants
→ Using lewd language
→ Visiting your dentist with your mouth stuffed with gutka (aaj hua mere sath)

The insufferable hypocrisy of Denmark/Europeans whining “It’s not fair that we Danes should be victimized by imperialism, when we spent 20 years playing your imperialist sidekick murdering brown people together! Is there no honor among imperialists?”

Whoever would have thought that pornography (and gay porn at that) would become so mainstream that #heatedrivarly emerges as the most viewed program on television, with the highest TRPs.
Public morality has never been at such an all time low!

@SGTWipper1Each Prophet Muhammad ﷺ has always taken pride in being God's slave and servant. He has himself said that the most honorific title he has ever received from God has been abd (His slave). So, no surprises there :-)

@WholesomeMeme Had you been in India, your dad would probably have meant the family name/surname.

@toughtalkty I have firmly come to believe that all the outrage against LGBTQIA+ is specially directed, and rightly so, against the T. The others need to walk away from this alliance asap.

@KR3Wmatic He was a Haneef, i.e. one who did not worship idols, but did not know the right way to worship God either. So, in a sense, he was neutral.

@catale7a The biggest lie is that you are in this despicable state because of the sins of your previous life. So you are yourself to be blamed for being a manual scavenger carrying loads of our shit on your head, and for being denied even basic literacy, let alone a decent education.
