@realMaalouf The French seem to have forgotten their selves from the time of Napoleon, various Frankish kings, going back to Charlemagne, on how to tackle such slim ... where do they get such guts...
what a shame...

[Saravanaprasad Balasubramanian (Modi ka Pariwar) @BS_Prasad]

"Hello, I am Palestinian. 🇵🇸
And since honesty is so rare in my politics, let me confess a few things.

1947. The UN offered me a state. Alongside Israel. Borders, independence, recognition. I said no. My leaders promised that war would "drive the Jews into the sea." Instead, I lost everything and they called it a catastrophe. Not because they didn't offer me a state, but because I rejected it.

1948–2025. Arab states could have integrated me, given me rights, passports, dignity. Instead, they locked me in refugee camps for generations, so I would remain a weapon against Israel. They built palaces for themselves and prisons for me. They used me as propaganda, not as people.

1967. After another lost war, I could have built a state in the West Bank and Gaza. Instead, I insisted on "no peace, no recognition, no negotiations." Three noes. Fifty years later, I still have no state. Turns out, rejection doesn't pay the rent.

Oslo, 1990s. Israel said: "Let's try it." It gave me autonomy. Weapons for the police. Billions in aid. What did my leaders do? They stole the money, armed militias, and launched an intifada. Suicide bombings instead of schools. Rockets instead of factories.

Gaza, 2005. Israel left completely. No settlers, no soldiers. I had the chance to turn Gaza into a Mediterranean Singapore. I voted for Hamas. They turned it into Mogadishu by the sea. Billions in aid? Tunnels, rockets, and palaces for their leaders, while my people eat canned food in the dark.

Democracy? I haven't had elections in nearly 20 years. Hamas kills dissenters in Gaza. Fatah imprisons them in the West Bank. My leaders cancel elections because they're too busy fighting for power.

Religion. Instead of building a future, I put clerics on TV teaching children to hate Jews. I glorify "martyrs" who blow up buses. I raise my children with songs of blood and fire instead of books and science. I trade hope for holy war.

Arab world. Arab regimes call me "brother." But ask them how many Palestinians can live freely in Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, or Kuwait. They exclude me, but celebrate my death, because my death is their excuse.

Absurdity. I keep saying I want to "build a state." And ironically, right next door is Israel: the neighbor that built a thriving democracy, a tech powerhouse, farms in the desert, cities from dust. No oil, no infinite wealth, just courage. I could have learned, copied, collaborated. Instead, I chose envy and rage.

Anti-Jewish obsession. I could have accepted Jews as neighbors. I could have said: "Two nations, two states." Instead, I repeat: "From the river to the sea." Instead of displaying honor, hospitality, and rich Arab culture, I showed only the culture of the sword: anger, extremism, and blood. Instead of shouting salaam (peace) to Israelis, I shouted death to the Jews. And then I pretend to be surprised when Israelis don't trust me, when they're angry, disappointed, and convinced I don't want coexistence at all.

Responsibility. I blame Israel for everything. Always. My leaders steal billions? Israel's fault. Hamas fires rockets from hospitals? Israel's fault. I glorify death over life? Israel's fault. Responsibility isn't my strong suit.

I am Palestinian.
I could have built a nation, many times. I chose rejection, corruption, and endless war. I could have lived in peace with Israel, but I chose to live in the shadow of its destruction.

So yes, I am a victim. But too often, I am a victim of my own leaders, my own choices, and my own refusal to let go of hate.

And that, dear reader, is the tragedy no one wants to admit."

Aha, the Italian claims 'great damage' to India's democracy since 2014. In 1980, the Indira-Rajiv government awarded a massive contract to build the Thal Vaishet fertiliser plant to Ottavio Quattrocchi's Snamprogetti. This was such an egregious breach of norms that the World Bank withdrew from the project, & stopped funding fertiliser projects in India. So Quattrocchi's company was given SIXTY more fertiliser projects in the next 7 years (severely damaging India's fertiliser sector).

And of course, the same friend of Sonia's was the key conduit for the illegal commissions for the Bofors howitzer deal. She shielded him for 20 years (because the money probably was hers). Then, in 2006 (when she was illegally running India's government) the secret crores held in a London bank account and frozen by India's courts, were quietly unfrozen at her government's behest and withdrawn (ie, stolen in broad daylight by her buddy) before India's Supreme Court could intervene.

In 2009, while the general election was underway, she appointed her private sycophant, Navin Chawla, as Chief Election Commissioner. Chawla had been deemed "unfit to hold any public office" by the Shah Commission in 1978 for his "authoritarian and callous" actions as Secretary to Delhi's LG during the notorious Emergency (25/6/1975-Jan 1977). The outgoing CEC strongly opposed Chawla's appointment, telling the president in a 93-page report that Chawla was openly partisan in favour of Sonia's Congress party. But she appointed him nonetheless (first as EC in 2005, them CEC in the middle of the 2009 general election) -- because he had personally ingratiated himself with Sonia by writing a fawning biography of Mother Teresa (the Albanian Catholic from Skopje, Macedonia). And this is just the beginning of Sonia Maino's subversion of Bharat's democracy. That she still leads the CPP and was the longest-serving president of the Nehruvian Congress is the biggest scandal of our democracy!

Lalu Yadav, former Railway Minister, claims the railways were profitable during his tenure.
This false claim was exposed when Mamata Banerjee became Railway Minister.

When Mamata Banerjee became Railway Minister, she released a white paper on Lalu's tenure, which contained several shocking revelations:

1- The Tatkal quota on all trains was raised from 10% to 60%.
This forced people to buy Tatkal tickets out of compulsion.
The railways collected 1234% more than the actual fare.

2- A rule was introduced under Tatkal that a passenger could only get a ticket from the train's origin station to its final destination, even if the passenger had to board in the middle and get off at some intermediate station.

Through this, the railways looted people heavily.

3- The Tatkal fee was raised to ₹350, which was earlier ₹50, then ₹150, and then jumped straight to ₹350.

4- It was Lalu Prasad Yadav who made the rule that the railways would give no refund at all on cancelling a Tatkal ticket.

5- A safety surcharge was quietly imposed on passengers: ₹10 in General, ₹20 in Sleeper, and ₹40 in AC.

6- Lalu gave 220 trains the "Superfast" status on paper, but made no change to their stoppages.
From just one train, an extra ₹50 crore was collected in a single month.

7- In freight, Lalu made a rule that the full-load rate would be charged for every wagon, and that too for 68 tonnes.

But the interesting thing is that a wagon's maximum capacity is only 64 tonnes, and the railways cannot load more than 60 tonnes in a single wagon.

8- Earlier, the reservation charge was the same across India no matter where you booked a ticket from or to, but Lalu looted through this as well.

If you take a return ticket from Ahmedabad to Delhi and compare the amounts of both tickets, you will understand the trick.
An extra ₹20 is charged in Sleeper, ₹40 in AC, and ₹60 in Rajdhani.
And this rule was made by Lalu Yadav himself.

9- During Lalu's time, railway scrap was sold on a large scale across India, which brought in several hundred crore rupees, and Lalu added it to the railways' profit.

Many railway lands were also leased out, and the money from that was likewise added to the profit by Lalu.

Congressmen, Lalu and Mulayam used to loot the country's people and mislead the nation in exactly this way.

[Sonam Mahajan @AsYouNotWish]

Rajdeep Sardesai’s latest sermon on India’s need for an ‘Abdul El-Sayed moment’ is a perfect example of the intellectual dishonesty that passes for political commentary in this country.

First, he posts that India needs a politician whose faith doesn’t matter and whose politics is about building bridges between communities.

When challenged, he comes back with an explanation even more problematic, hollow and bereft of evidence.

He now argues that India needs Muslim politicians elected from Hindu-majority constituencies, claims the reverse is equally rare, complains about the absence of Muslim MPs in the BJP and a Muslim Union Cabinet minister, and insists that India needs an American-style cross-community electoral coalition.

A few inconvenient realities for him.

In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, 24 Muslim MPs were elected. Around 10 of them won from constituencies where Muslims were not the majority. Afzal Ansari won from Ghazipur, where Muslims constitute roughly 10% of the population. Navaskani, from the so-called Indian Union Muslim League, won from Ramanathapuram, where Muslims account for just 11.84% of the population. Think about this for a moment. A party that chooses to carry the Muslim League name, despite the League’s violent role in the Partition of India, can contest an election in this country and even win from a constituency where nearly 88% of the population is non-Muslim. This reflects a degree of electoral accommodation that only Hindus can demonstrate.

Now look at the other side.

The 2024 Lok Sabha had 14 constituencies with a Muslim population of at least 50%. Muslim candidates won all 14. Not a single Hindu MP was elected from a Muslim-majority constituency.

So, yes, Hindu-majority electorates have repeatedly elected Muslim representatives. BUT MUSLIMS HAVE NOT.

This is precisely the question Rajdeep would rather brush aside with a vague assertion that the reverse is also true.

Second, why is the absence of Muslim BJP MPs being presented as proof of India’s failure?

Rajdeep points out that the BJP has no Muslim MP and the Union Cabinet has no Muslim minister. But how many Muslim politicians are willing to contest on a BJP ticket without risking being branded a kafir by their own community? And how many would be willing to openly associate themselves with the party without facing that kind of religious denunciation?

These are questions he conveniently leaves out.

And even if a Muslim candidate were to win on a BJP ticket from a Hindu-majority constituency, would people like Rajdeep accept that as genuine cross-community electoral accommodation? Or would they question whether that candidate was elected or selected?

Third, comparing India to America while discussing religious representation is perhaps the most fundamental flaw in his argument.

India is not America. Our histories are entirely different.

India was partitioned following a violent Islamist separatist movement rooted in the Two-Nation Theory. The demand was not simply that Hindus and Muslims were separate nations. It was that Indian Muslims needed a separate political homeland because they could not accept being governed by a Hindu-majority electorate.

That history cannot be erased from any serious discussion of religion and politics in the subcontinent.

So we must discuss the electoral behaviour and political realities of subcontinental Muslims across India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Nobody is suggesting that India should emulate either country. But our shared history and religious politics make these comparisons very relevant.

In Pakistan, the discrimination goes even beyond electoral behaviour. Its Constitution explicitly bars non-Muslims from becoming President or Prime Minister. Speaks volumes about the mindset of subcontinental Muslims.

Why is Hindu willingness to elect Muslims routinely celebrated as evidence of secularism, while the reluctance of Muslim-majority electorates to elect Hindus is hardly discussed?

@Maxtell2000 @WarMonitorINTL Israel NEVER wanted Superpower status - all they want is to he left alone. ALL their wars with the Arab nations were for basic survival. Even ONE war had they lost - there wouldn't be ANY ISRAEL.

@RanaAyyub An INDIAN MUSLIM protesting for another Muslim (in this case, OCI only), despite rules clearly saying foreign national cannot participate in political protests, especially on SIR, where he isn't impacted AT ALL.

Meloni has gone far ahead of Yogi ji in Italy-

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has done in just 24 hours what the men of the European Union haven't managed in the last 30 years!
A new policy introduced by Meloni to stop riots in Italy has stunned all of Europe.
To rein in violent protests carried out in the name of students, she brought a firm blueprint called "The Anti-Riot Doctrine."
Meloni said one thing plainly:
"If you take to the streets and spread chaos, we will empty your parents' bank accounts!"
Anyone involved in violent protests will face 5 years in prison and a fine of 20,000 euros (roughly ₹18 lakh).
She understood that masked rioters with foreign funding cannot be stopped by tear gas alone. She decided to eliminate the logistics and financial support behind them.

When she began imposing heavy fines on the rioters' parents and deployed 500 military personnel in the city of Milan, suddenly no one could figure out where all those young activists seen on the streets had vanished, or which caves they had gone to hide in!
This is a stinging reply to the "New World Order" conspiracies of billionaires who fund NGOs to destabilize independent countries and use young people as shields.
When the financial and legal loopholes available in the name of protest were shut down, the truth about those putting on a drama in the name of revolution came out.

In my opinion... this exact model should be implemented in Bharat too!

DO NOT make the mistake of bypassing the Hindu (including Sikhs as well), the Buddhist, the Jain, the Parsee...

[Oxomiya Jiyori 🇮🇳 @SouleFacts]

Look at this ugly lady Ratna Pathak Shah, wife of Naseeruddin Shah, mocking the Hindu tradition of Karwa Chauth.
She may not follow it is her choice and many in India don’t follow, but that doesn’t give her the right to mock publicly the tradition and the people who have immense faith on the tradition.
Can she have the guts to mock any Muslim traditions of women.
