1990 Anti Reservation Protest:
60+ deaths
Criminal charges
Police shootings
Mass arrests
200 self immolation attempts
DEMOCRACY IS NOT THE SAME FOR EVERYONE
Year 2010: Even while in opposition, the BJP opposed Home Minister P. Chidambaram’s resignation after the Dantewada attack.
The BJP made it clear that his resignation would mean a victory for the Maoists.
BJP assured the govt of its support
NEET Aspirant Harsh Dubey was so angry and outraged with the system that he stood up from his chair inside NDTV Studio to speak up and raise questions. Leave everything and watch this video from @ShivAroor’s show India Matters!
The DS toolkit - Steps for regime change:
1) Leverage a real grievance as the hook, amplify the discomfort even if it is resolved, then broaden it
Start with a concrete, emotional issue, affecting many. Amplify it and keep it alive even after it is addressed and resolved. Aggregate it with other pain points to incite more people. Create a wider audience.
2) Use social media reach, virality and memetic warfare as the accelerator
Launch with satire/memes to go viral fast (low barrier with Google form sign-up, humorous branding, social marketing). Create an identity to boost belonging. Incite emotional responses (anger, fear for the future). Use skilled digital strategists to create and push content.
3) Hybrid online-to-offline escalation and sustainement
Online outrage -> Small offline actions -> Gauge public response -> Time the offline escalation (months after initial issue and its resolution) -> Use online tools to gather support and bring more offline support at site. Install a well known public face as the leader of the protest. For future puppet leader needs as well.
4) Astroturfing and Amplification
True protestors with real concerns - few thousands. Astroturfing online farm accounts - millions. Simulate organic support, incite with new ideas, direct the protest using a cyber command, non-native cyber troops pushing narrative, and micro-targeted digital content. Use plants inside platforms and media to amplify an one sided narrative.
5) Political opportunism and piggybacking
Use country's politics to amplify the protests. Provide opposition with a platform to piggyback on to help galvanize more offline protestors. Incentivize them to use the opportunity to full extent showing them the possibility of a regime change.
6) Timing and goalpost-shifting for longevity
Build slowly or time actions after an issue peaks but while anger lingers. If the core problem is addressed, pivot to broader/political demands or "systemic change" to keep relevance. This prevents quick fizzling. Keep issue alive and galvanize more support.
7) Use the created protests and planted narrative to incite violence and blame it on the govt
Create a pre-emptive narrative of "govt going to crackdown" using force and violence. Plant a narrative of govt infiltrating protests. Orchestrate violence and blame it on the govt. Incite the general public and the world to condemn and get involved. Justify actions like storming the parliament, taking over govt institutions, and arson by protestors. Amplify protests multi-fold and make the regime buckle.
Saw all this executed in Ukraine, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Nepal. Can India be regime changed like this? The clueless supremacist master of the DS and its dog who are trying this imagine so. What they don't understand is the dog is going to be destroyed and the master made to manage a crisis never seen before in the coming years.
🚨 BIG CLAIM BY REPUBLIC MEDIA
Leaked US Embassy alert dated July 17 WARNED citizens to STAY away from Delhi gatherings — 4 days before the violent protests on July 20.
Does a foreign hand have a role in the chaos unleashed on Delhi streets?
A Multiple foreign intelligence agencies such as the CIA (United States), MSS (China), MI6 (United Kingdom), Turkey's MIT, and Ukrainian intelligence—are jointly attempting to engineer a coup or coup-like situation in India .These claims are equally strong and backed by verifiable evidence.
There are several points in consideration:
Foreign influence operations are real. Intelligence agencies around the world conduct espionage, cyber operations, influence campaigns, disinformation, recruitment of sources, and attempts to shape foreign public opinion. This is well documented in many countries, including India.
India has identified and responded to foreign interference in the past. Indian authorities have periodically alleged or investigated activities involving espionage, cyberattacks, extremist financing, separatist support, and foreign influence by various state and non-state actors. These activities differ in scope and objectives and do not necessarily amount to an attempt to overthrow the government.
A coordinated multinational conspiracy involving all of the agencies you listed has not been established publicly. There is no publicly available evidence demonstrating that the CIA, China's MSS, the UK's MI6, Turkey's MIT, and Ukrainian intelligence are jointly orchestrating a coup-like operation against India. Such an assertion would require corroborated evidence from credible investigations, official findings, or reliable intelligence disclosures.
Hybrid warfare is a more commonly discussed framework. Many security analysts describe modern geopolitical competition as involving cyberattacks, information operations, economic pressure, influence campaigns, and proxy actors rather than conventional coups. Democracies, including India, often face attempts by different actors to influence public discourse or exploit existing social and political divisions. That does not mean those efforts are centrally coordinated or aimed at regime change.
If you're interested in analyzing whether India is facing hybrid warfare, foreign influence operations, or information warfare, those are well-established subjects with substantial research and publicly available evidence.
Most women candidates risk being reduced to proxies like in many Sarpanch quotas.
Easier control = advntg for control freak AAP & BJP
BJP barely tolerates independent leaders (Yogi feels like an exception).
Stop limiting grassroots leaders in the name of quotas—let merit compete

One of the most important papers in AI: a tiny brain-inspired 27M param model trained on 1000 samples outperforms o3-mini-high on reasoning tasks!
Still can't believe this tiny lab of Tsinghua grads gets 40% on ARC-AGI, solves hard sudoku and mazes.
We're still so early.
