Hindus should not harbour anger against Muslims even if the latter want to destroy and kill us all. We should face death bravely. If Muslims established their rule after killing all Hindus, we would be ushering in a new India. - Mahatma Gandhi
Wishing you a happy Gandhi Jayanti.
Dear @Javedakhtarjadu. I'm afraid your response is as boring and overloaded as your similes and metaphors. When countered with facts, you shift the goalpost, bring in the RSS, berate the right wing, take refuge in context, cushion the bigotry, and claim Kafirs were Colonialists not Hindus.
I know countering you again is like watering a cactus and praying for leechis, but in the hope that all that knee massaging with Doctor Ortho would have sprouted some neurons, here goes:
You asked for a source because you said the quote was “quite unlike” Azad’s “lifelong sociopolitical stances.” I gave you the source: Calcutta, 27 October 1914, published in Khutbat-e-Azad. The words are his. That should have ended the enquiry. It did not. So let us walk through your new script, line by line.
1. “The khutbats were about Khilafat and British colonialism.”
Yes. That is what I wrote. Maulana Azad was telling Indian Muslims that a Turk’s battlefield thorn must be felt in a Hindustani Muslim’s heart; that Millat-e-Islam is one body; that friendship and enmity are for the religion of Allah. Then he quoted Quran 48:29 and added his own gloss: be extremely hard against disbelievers, extremely kind among yourselves, and do not pass over this as if you had not heard it. You asked for the when and where. You received both. “It was about Khilafat” is not a rebuttal. It is the context in which he said it.
2. “To claim he was quoting this about the Hindus of India will not be true. The Kafir here was the colonialist.”
I did not say the 1914 speech was a municipal circular against the Hindus of Howrah. I quoted what Azad quoted: a Quranic verse about kuffar, and his commentary on unbelief, Tawhid, and hardness toward disbelievers. If Azad had meant “kafir = only the British officer,” he knew Urdu enough to say Angrez. He did not. He used the Book’s word, then told his flock not to skip it.
And if “kafir” in Azad’s mouth was a temporary colonial nickname, kindly explain the 1920 Hijrat fatwa, published in Ahl-e-Hadith of Amritsar, in which he said Indian Muslims had no choice but to migrate, and that those who stayed and kept connection with “the enemy of Islam” would themselves be counted as the enemy of Islam. That is not a lecture on income-tax collectors. That is a theology of the land.
3. “When Ataturk took over, Azad called it a closed chapter and condoned the secular government.”
Men change. Texts do not. If later Azad made peace with the death of the Caliphate, good for the later Azad. It does not unsay 1914, nor the Khilafat years, nor Masala-e-Khilafat, nor the call that any government hostile to Turkey was hostile to Islam, not the belief in the Quranic verse damning the Kafirs. You began by saying the paragraph was unlike his lifelong stances. Lifelong includes the years he spent as a pan-Islamist firebrand. Evolution is not an eraser. It is a timeline.
4. “Read his Calcutta High Court statement. An honour no member of the Mahasabha or RSS was ever given.”
Sedition charges from the Raj are not a unique family heirloom. Tilak got them. Aurobindo got them. Savarkar was given two life terms and sent to Cellular Jail, where the honour included the oil mill, the lash, and years in a cell the size of a cupboard.
And of course, knowing your pitiful knowledge of Indian History, I guess you would not know legendary RSS names like Devipad Chaudhary, Jagatpati Kumar, Anna Saheb Deshpande, Ramakant Keshav, Vasantrao Oak, Narayan Singh, Chandrakant Bhardwaj, Dada Naik Chimur, Baburao Begade, Lala Hansraj, Balaji Raipurkar who participated in our freedom struggle and were jailed or shot.
5. “Azad was in British jails for nine years. Name one from your right wing who can match that.”
Vinayak Damodar Savarkar: roughly a decade in Kala Pani, further years in mainland jails, then thirteen years of internment in Ratnagiri. Sentence on paper: fifty years. Conditions: not Ahmednagar Fort with time to write Ghubar-e-Khatir.
By the way, you might know that your great-great-grandfather Fazl-e-Haq Khairabadi was also incarcerated at Kala Pani. What you might not know, or would want to hide, is that he wrote a grovelling mercy petition to the British, pleading to be released.
6. “In 1946 Jinnah refused to shake Azad’s hand. He hated Azad for his patriotism.”
How does this turn “be severe against the kafirs, merciful among themselves” into a sonnet about communal harmony? A man can spend 1946 refusing Partition and still have spent 1914 telling Indian Muslims that their first body is the ummah. Fairness is holding both pages open. What you are doing is hiding the 1914 page and waving the 1946 one like a flag.
7. “Your reference to Rahul Gandhi was unnecessary, I expect decency and class.”
And I expected you to have some sense of humour. The PS was a reminder that this is the second time I have had to fetch your hero’s paperwork. Last time it was Nehru’s India: books banned, editors sacked, films blocked, Majrooh jailed for a couplet.
You lecture me on class after moving from “this cannot be Azad” to “it is Azad but you must read kafir as colonialist” to “anyway he went to jail” to “Jinnah was rude to him” to “please don’t mention Rahul.” That is not class. That is a guided tour of every exit except the text.
Look, Javed sahab, let us end this here. I like you. Doubtless a lot of your work is incredible, truly it is. So in that spirit, permit me to pen an ode to you:
Javed Akhtar ko dekha toh aisa laga, jaise chhal ka nawab, jaise jhoot ki kitaab, jaise dhong ki kiran, jaise adambar ka van, jaise kapton ki baat, jaise pakhand ki raat, jaise janpath mein ho ek jalta diya.
Alvida, Shabba khair. WDTP
Dear Mr Javed Akhtar. Alhamdulillah. The quote is from Maulana Azad's Calcutta Speech. The speech was published in Khutbat-e-Azad. Here is the link: https://t.co/yXkvYTTW1j
The Maulana is exhorting the Indian Muslims to unite with Muslims around the world and save the Caliphate. He begins by stating that all relationships in the world can break down, father can turn against son, brother against brother, mother can shun her child but the relationship of a Muslim with a Muslim can never be severed.
The Maulana then continues: if even a grain of the soul of Islam is still alive in its followers, then if a thorn enters the foot of a Turk on the field of battle, I swear by Allah that no Muslim of Hindustan is a Muslim until he feels that prick in his own heart. For the Millat of Islam is one body, and Muslims, wherever they are, are its limbs. If a finger of the hand is cut, the rest of the body cannot remain at peace until it has felt the blow. This is not rhetoric. It is the plain meaning of the well-known hadith which Imam Ahmad related: the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said that the likeness of the believers in their mutual love, mercy and compassion is that of one body: when one limb complains, the whole body responds with sleeplessness and fever. And there is the other hadith, related by Abu Musa al-Ash‘ari: The believer to the believer is like a building; each part supports the other. This is the first and last distinguishing mark of the people of Islam, to which the Qur’an itself has pointed.
Then, to reinforce Muslim unity, Maulana Azad provides his commentary after quoting the Quranic verse 48: 29.
The Messenger of Allah and those with him are severe against the Kafirs, merciful among themselves.
Whatever hardness they have is for falsehood and unbelief; whatever love and tenderness they have is for truth, sincerity, Islam and Tawhid. So be extremely hard against disbelievers but extremely sympathetic and kind among ourselves; take heed, then, and do not pass over this as if you had not heard it.
P.S. This is the second time I am enlightening you on your heroes and their lifelong sociopolitical stances. The first time was when you refused to believe that books were banned, editors sacked, films blocked, and Majrooh jailed, under Nehru's rule. Please don't ask me about Gandhi next - the Mahatma, not Rahul, though both are probably your heroes. Cheers, WDTP
Suddenly, my father's airtel sim is dead.
I asked Airtel showroom to change the sim.
Airtel told me to bring your father to Airtel Showroom.
My father can't walk even 1 feet, he is 66, completely bed ridden.
It is mental torture and harassment by Airtel.
We can't activate the number which is linked to ITR, Aadhar, PAN card.

Perhaps the BBC can commission a documentary: “Soho: The India We Imagined.”
The BBC usually needs a visa, a fixer and a 7,000-kilometre flight to discover a dirty lane in India.
For this story, it merely needed to take the tube to Soho.
But naturally, there will be no breathless documentary on the “decline of Britain.” No western media analysis of the cultural consequences of uncontrolled immigration. No sombre BBC voiceover asking how one of the world’s richest countries allowed its capital to look like this.
Apparently, litter in India is civilisation.
Litter in London is merely an unfortunate camera angle.
For decades, Britain imported people faster than it could integrate them, abandoned assimilation in favour of multicultural appeasement, and treated every demand for controlled immigration as racism.
Border conversations became embarrassing. Integration became optional. Enforcing civic norms became “intolerant.” Ordinary Britons were instructed to remain silent and are often arrested if they talk while the character of their neighbourhoods changed around them.
Britain once lectured India about poverty, cleanliness, communalism and governance. Its media still rush to remote Indian villages searching for images that confirm their prejudices.
Now the decay is visible outside their own studios.
Hey Singapore Airlines, YOU SUCK!
I'm at the Frankfurt Airport, flying to JFK, and you wouldn't issue me my boarding pass online or via your app because you needed to check my passport - fair enough. So at the airport, your person checked my passport... And pointed me to a massive 1+ hour line of everyone checking bags. But I'm not checking a bag! Sorry, get in line buddy.
I travel overseas more than a dozen times a year and have never encountered this. Singapore Airlines, YOU SUCK! Fix this problem!

Dear @narendramodi and @nitin_gadkari, I urge you to heed science, reason, and the concerns of ordinary Indians.
Here, I explain why India’s E20 policy hurts vehicle owners, water resource, and the environment; and helps the politician-middleman, the sugar, and the liquor lobby:
I forgot, you are used to 👇🏻 type (one of the types since r@pe, abduction and k!llings types cannot be posted here) of women safety since the last 15 years.
Does this represent the BJP's "Parivartan" in Bengal? BJP workers assaulted a female advocate with eggs and made threats against her in public. If women are assaulted in such a public manner, how can anyone maintain a feeling of safety? Bengal needs to move away from this intimidation and violence-based culture.

STORY | Rahul Gandhi expresses regret in defamation case filed by Shivraj Singh Chouhan's son
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday filed an application before the Madhya Pradesh High Court expressing regret for his allegedly defamatory statement about Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's son Kartikeya Singh.
Kartikeya Singh has filed a defamation complaint in a Bhopal court against the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha. Gandhi's application, filed by his lawyer, said that his statement was not related to Singh.

Exposing the extreme negligence & customer harassment by @Maruti_Corp, @NexaExperience, and TR Sawhney Motors Delhi From hiding vehicle damages during my XL6 delivery in March-April to freezing my funds till June it has been a total nightmare. Watch this video for proof.
I was going on the state highway road, suddenly an e-rickshaw coming from the front and hit left side corner, after which I turned right and it hit my left side door scratched it and went away.
Now the National Insurance company is saying that we will be able to give claim only for the left front door and you will have to pay Rs 5,000 for the scratch on the door. @NICLofficial@jagograhakjago
Dear @airtelindia@Airtel_Presence ,
I am trying to add an airtel postpaid number to my family plan since 25 May 2026 and had spoken to your customer care (121) at least 6 times. The interesting part is that I am still waiting…
I hope that’s called best service!!

Yes, comparing Modi era with Nehru’s is right. Not to do so would be injustice to millions who suffered because of Nehru.
For example, Hindu Bengali refugees. Their children, grandchildren must never forget that their people were abandoned and thrown to the wolves by Jawaharlal Nehru before, during and after Partition.
Nehru despised dark-skinned Hindu Bengali refugees, among them my father, his siblings, their widowed mother and grandmother, fleeing rapacious and murderous Muslim League mobs in East Bengal; he did not want them to seek shelter in India.
Nehru wrote to CM BC Roy, instructing him not to let Hindu Bengali refugees enter West Bengal. Push them back from the border, Nehru said, don’t let them in.
Nehru insisted Hindu Bengalis of East Bengal / East Pakistan were coming to India for free-loading at the expense of Indians. He cut back Central funds for West Bengal to stop the meagre refugee assistance by way of a couple of kilos of inedible worm-infested rotten rice for Hindu Bengalis.
Hindu Bengali refugee women and children separated from their families, or widowed and orphaned in the Noakhali genocide and subsequent Partition Massacre of Hindus, rummaged in garbage bins and pitifully begged for morsels of food.
Hindu Bengali refugee children in rags with dark large sad eyes greedily licked on used banana leaves dumped on the streets by eateries, also known as ‘pice hotels��� in Kolkata parlance, of which there was a profusion in the post-War years. Emaciated babies and rickety children of Hindu Bengali refugees huddled with stray dogs on pavements.
Many Hindu Bengali refugees lived on ‘rice water’ or ‘fan’ (the starchy water that is thrown away after boiling rice) collected from homes of compassionate Bengalis who had little food to share.
In the morning and evening there were pheriwallahs hawking their wares; in the afternoon there were Hindu Bengali refugee women in tattered sarees that barely covered their bodies and naked children with battered and bruised aluminium pots going from house to house, begging for ‘rice water’: “Ma, fan daao Ma…”
Those voices of has hunger were to haunt Hindu Bengali refugees like my parents for long, often till death.
Driven by hate for Hindu Bengali refugees, Nehru ordered horrifyingly, nauseatingly squalid and disease-ridden refugee camps to be named ‘Permanent Liability Camps’ or PLCs — PLC 1, PLC 2… — reminiscent of the ‘Permanent Solution Camps’ of the Nazis.
When despite his best efforts Nehru failed to push back the Hindu Bengali refugees to be slaughtered in East Bengal/East Pakistan, Nehru brought his devastating Freight Equalisation Policy which collapsed industry in West Bengal. Tens of thousands of jobs were destroyed and the Hindu Bengali was rendered jobless: Those who lost their jobs and businesses began turning on Hindu Bengali refugees just as Nehru had hoped.
Yet Nehru could not break the spirit of the Hindu Bengali refugees who were grateful to Bharat and determined to help rebuild this great nation savaged by invaders and colonisers especially John Company.
Through generations we Hindu Bengali refugees toiled, we built, we paid taxes, we sacrificed for the Nation, our Nation, we succeeded in establishing ourselves as dutiful, law-abiding, loyal citizens of India. Having lost our home and hearth, we had no other home but India.
We Hindu Bengali refugees were hived off to malaria-infested inhospitable Dandakaranya and we cleared forests and made the soil fertile. We were packed off to Andaman and we rebuilt our lives there. When we tried to set up home at Marichjhapi we were slaughtered: the estuaries turned red with our blood.
We grieved, we got up, we overcame that setback.
We lived with dignity and honour, we earned our food, we were not freeloaders. We were poor but we were honest: we had integrity.
Cut to 2026.
So who have proved to be India’s ‘Permanent Liability’ cadging off the state and living on unearned money? Nehru Dynasty.
अंकित सिंह हमारे खास दोस्त हैं। दिल्ली में रॉयल इनफील्ड गाड़ी में कुछ काम आया तो उसे सर्विस सेंटर में दिया। 10 दिन बाद गए तो उसमें बैटरी ही गायब थी। सेंटर ने गलती मानी और बैटरी लगाया।
गाड़ी स्टार्ट किया तो उसमें धुआं आ रहा था। सेंटर के लोगों ने कहा पॉलिस के चलते ऐसा है, अंकित गाड़ी लेकर गए। 100 किमी तक चले तो इंजन में गड़बड़ी आ गई। सेंटर पर पहुंचे तो पता चला कि इसम��ं तो इंजन ऑयल ��ी नहीं डाला गया था। मतलब ये उच्च स्तर की लापरवाही में आता है।
अंकित ने मांग की कि इंजन बनाया जाए तो अब सर्विस सेंटर बहानेबाजी कर रहा। साफ शब्दों में कहें तो बत्तमीजी कर रहा।
दिल्ली में यह सर्विस सेंटर नांगली इंडस्ट्रियल एरिया में जुपिटर व्हील्स प्राइवेट लिमिटेड के नाम से है।
@royalenfield @sidlal जी, इस मामले को देखिए। लड़का इस गाड़ी का शौकीन है लेकिन ऐसी सर्विस रहेगी तो सारे शौक खत्म हो जाएंगे।
This is the condition of the Punjab mansion of Hindu businessman Todar Mal who paid 7,800 gold coins and bought 4 yards of land from the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb to bury the bodies of the 2 young sons and mother of Guru Gobind Singh on December 13, 1705.
The Mughal faujdar Wazir Khan had ordered the two young children be bricked alive as they refused to accept Islam. When they died, their grandmother died of shock
The Mughals did not want to allow the cremation to humiliate the martyrs. They stipulated that the buyer can take only as much space as he could cover with give gold coins for the land. All the Sikh chiefs just stood helplessly
That's when Todar Mal produced the coins and bought the piece of land, and cremated the three bodies.
This is biggest irony of life, India is only country where its true heritage is hidden from next generation and falsehood Is taught.

*A QUESTION OF OPERATIONAL CONSISTENCY AND THE SHIFTING OF BLAME*
_Watch the video. The evidence requires no emotional framing—only logical scrutiny._
The central question emerging from yesterday's 07th June, 2026 incidents at Shokvao, Finch Corner, and New Haven is not one of loyalty, but of operational consistency. *Why does the Assam Rifles adopt a visibly restrained posture when confronting Kuki militants armed with sophisticated weaponry, yet employ aggressive crowd-control tactics including tear gas, blank firing, and lathi charges against unarmed Naga women and civilians?*
*The Analytical Breakdown:*
1. *Disparity in Use of Force*: Against armed Kuki militant groups, reports suggest tactical caution or de-escalation. Against unarmed Naga protesters, many of them women and mothers, the response has shifted to direct physical suppression. *This disparity raises a legitimate question: Is the use of force determined by the level of threat, or by the identity of the group?*
2. *Shifting the Blame*: In response to these events, *some voices from Kuki quarters have attempted to deflect accountability by blaming the Naga women themselves*. This is a logical fallacy. Criticizing unarmed civilians especially women for being subjected to state force does not address the core issue: the disproportionate and seemingly selective application of that force. *Blaming the victim does not explain away documented disparities in tactical behavior.*
3. *The Core Inconsistency*: _If the Assam Rifles are capable of restraint when facing heavily armed militants, that same restraint should logically apply to peaceful, unarmed civilian assemblies_. The failure to apply a consistent standard suggests either a breakdown in command protocol or a targeted operational bias.
*Conclusion and Demand for Analytical Justice:*
The Naga public is not asking for preferential treatment. *They are asking for equal treatment under a consistent standard of law.*
_If the law permits tear gas and batons for unarmed women, it must also permit the same level of confrontation against armed militants. If the law protects militants from aggressive action, it must extend that same protection to civilians._
Therefore, the Naga people demand *an independent, data-driven investigation* into yesterday's incidents. The Government of India must identify whether these tactical disparities were the result of lawful orders or institutional bias. *Those found responsible for any excessive or inconsistent use of force must be held accountable.*
*Justice is not selective. Accountability cannot be assigned by community loyalty. The evidence is in the video. Judge accordingly.*
