Diwali in different households:
Upper-class : Diwali parties, inviting friends over, dancing, having fun and exchanging gifts.
Middle-class: Safai, kalesh, shouting at each other, someone crying and then everyone gathering for puja, followed by a loud aarti like the family has never had a fight.
Leave aside other arguments, did Alexander have India or South Asia in mind?
Did Columbus want to find a route to India or South Asia?
Why were the natives of America called Red Indians and not Red South Asians?
Why did the British set up the East India company and not the South Asian company?
Why was it British India and not British South Asia?
East Indies and West Indies?
Why is it called the Indian Ocean not the South Asian Ocean?
These two are classic Lutyens cabal - Mukul Kesavan and Ashish Joshi, mocking Kanwal Sibal because he doesn't sing their anti-India tune.
And @KanwalSibal is still 100x more relevant than both of you combined.
Mr Kanwal Sibal:
- Foreign Secretary of India
- Ambassador to Russia, France, Turkey, Egypt
- Padma Shri
- 41 years IFS, negotiated with US, China, Russia when you were writing op-eds.
You, Ashish Joshi: Former DD News hack who got sacked, now surviving on Congress retweets. Your entire career is "retired uncle complaining on X".
Mukul Kesavan: Professional history lecturer who writes 800-word essays to say "Modi bad". His Platonic ideal of retired uncle is actually himself - sitting in Delhi, writing for Telegraph, being quoted by nobody outside Khan Market.
Kanwal Sibal says disagreement with regime is treason? No. He says disagreement with NATION in name of regime criticism is treason.
There's a difference. You call Galwan a PR stunt, you call Balakot fake, you call foreign policy failure when Rubio pays tribute at 26/11 memorial. That is not disagreement, that's self-loathing. If he didn't exist, we would need to invent him - to remind us what a real diplomat looks like vs Lutyens Twitter uncles like you two.
Mukul Kesavan calling Kanwal Sibal "retired Uncle" is rich.
One was Foreign Secretary who handled Russia, US, China.
Other is retired professor who writes "retired uncle" jokes for 44 retweets and 6 comments.
Kanwal Sibal is the gold standard of Indian diplomat. You two are gold standard of Lutyens echo chamber - self-importance, selective outrage, and belief that agreement with Soros equals intellect.
Rather presumptuous of you to give me this patronising advice.
I took an oath to the constitution on joining service.
I have served the country for four decades when different govts were in power.
No politics. Only national interest.
Can you as a journalist claim that?
My respect for the judiciary is respect for its constitutional position.
Your lack of trust in it is lack of respect for the constitution.
What in my tweet rankled you? Article 370’s abrogation was upheld unanimously by a five-judge Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court. Confine the issues arising out of SIR on merit, without casting personal aspersions. This is where, I think, the former CEC erred in the podcast.
टाइमलाइन पर जापान और अमेरिका के समाचारपत्रों के लिंक आ रहे हैं जिसमें भारत से लोकतंत्र के अंत और मोदी की लिमिट पर आलेख हैं।
यदि ये एल्गोरिद्म मैनिपुलेशन नहीं है, तो और क्या है? यह प्रयास दस बार पहले भी हुए हैं, और आगे भी होंगे।
How is agitation in the streets, with a subtext of anarchy, demanding the removal of a constitutional authority, threatening that the Home Minister and the PM would be the next target for removal not through elections or a parliamentary process but street threats a defence of democracy?
Under the cloak of a peaceful protest the goal is anything but peaceful- it is to challenge the state and create anarchy, which will inevitably lead to violence.
There are internal and external forces bent on destabilising the country.
Those who shout that dissent is being suppressed freely abuse the PM and HM etc. Some TV anchors who command viewership are overtly against the government and are thriving. Don’t they see the contradiction?
The foreign hand is becoming visible. This is part of external mobilisation in cahoots with the protestors. Why are the Harvard alumni joining these anarchical protests?
It is normal that international media would cover the Cockroach protests in Delhi,
Question is the kind of coverage.
Totally one- sided, with no effort to give a balanced picture.
The allegations of the protestors are being purveyed as if they are unquestioned.
That the CEC has removed 130 m voters from the electoral rolls to favour the BJP and repeating the Cockroach insult that Modi is a coward etc.
The anti- Modi/ BJP slant in reporting is obvious.
The uniformly highly biased coverage by western media of these protests only confirms foreign backing of elements in India who want to create anarchy in the country.
