Breaking news: Trump administration officials have pressed the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to design a $250 bill featuring the president’s portrait, in what would be the first appearance of a living person on U.S. currency in more than 150 years. https://t.co/S8sqdKSB7i
@VaisakhNandan1 To be fair, most of these studies are mostly rubbish due to lack of proper control, p-hacking and other statistical voodoo that suits them best.
@VaisakhNandan1 Any person in position of power would start exercising their sociopathic tendencies. Teaching is probably one of the few jobs with low bar to entry to wield such power.
All RSS chiefs and upper cadre are fat. So are all the top BJP leaders. So does that make fatphohia progressive in the Indian context and the material conditions here? 🤔
@sewage_angel@ShoaibDaniyal@adilhossain Agreed. The original point was not that though. It was whether SIR made an electoral difference. To that, my point was that the statistical methods used above were too trivial in my opinion.
@sewage_angel@ShoaibDaniyal@adilhossain But surely it won’t be all 91 lakh, would it? Thus till be get a better estimate of legitimate contestation, any such analysis as above becomes a moot point.
"I haven't lost and I won't resign:" @MamataOfficial . The single sentence that will stand in history as the sharpest and most pointed INDICTMENT of the way the @BJP4India -@ECISVEEP BRAZENLY RIGGED the Bengal Election of 2026.
So, let me get this straight.
For years, India backs an autocratic ruler in Bangladesh who is overthrown by her people after a mass uprising/revolution, surprising everyone (including her Indian patrons).
Rather than admit their mistakes, activists of India's ruling party then construct a false narrative to divert attention from their support of the fallen regime, which includes the ridiculous allegation that Hasina's fall was a foreign plot intended to bring radical islamists to power and terrorize the hindu minority.
These same Indian actors then weaponize this narrative in India in support of the BJP's electoral campaigns in Assam and West Bengal, inventing the spectre of an islamic bogeyman and demonizing the Muslim minority. This propaganda effort proceeds for over a year, amplified by the Indian establishment and media.
Now, after elections in both Bangladesh and neighboring Indian states, New Delhi seeks to reasserts its control over Dhaka while consolidating its political gains within India.
You have to hand it to the @BJP4India, they have become masters at propaganda and political manipulation.
