A misreading of the situation.

India has tried to build good ties with Turkey over many years in recognition of its regional status and absence of any real geopolitical conflict with it.

Turkey’s secularism was a factor in this also.

But with the Islamisation of Turkey under Erdogan Turkey has allowed the Islamic bond with Pakistan to infect its policy towards India.

Turkey has gratuitously provoked India on the Kashmir issue in the UN and OIC. Erdogan expressed his concern about his brothers and sisters in Kashmir, openly playing the Islamic card.

Turkey has opposed our membership of NSG.

Why are we so ready to blame ourselves for the wrongdoing of others?

In 2012 Manmohan Singh gave an interview to prestigious Science magazine where he clearly blamed America based funding to Christian Churches stopping India's growth.

It is believed this interview made Sonia so angry she decided to get rid of Manmohan. She asked all ministers to stop listening to the PM altogether. For the last 2 years of his tenure, Manmohan had zero control over the state he ran on paper.

It's not #FCRA, its our very freedom!

अभी आप सबने केजरीवाल का 'मोदी को ठोकने आए थे' वाला वीडियो देखा होगा। फिर आपने यह भी देखा होगा कि भाजपा के आधिकारिक हैंडलों और संबद्ध लोगों के ���्वारा उसकी भर्त्सना की जा रही है। ऐसे ही 'मोदी तेरी कब्र खुदेगी' और 'मोदी का &^ छोटा है' समेत अन्य गालियों पर भी प्रतिक्रिया देखी है।

संसद से ले कर डिजिटल स्पेस में 'मोदी पर तिनका भी गिरे' तो एक तूफ़ान लाया जाता है। पर दुर्भा��्य देखिए कि यही सारे लोग 'ब्राह्मणवाद से आज़ादी' और 'ब्राह्मणों की छाती पर' जैसे नरसंहार के कॉल पर चुप रहे। भाजपा का एक भी हैंडल 'ब्राह्मणों की कब्र खुदेगी' के बोले और लिखे नारों पर आज तक एक शब्द बोलता नहीं दिखा।

इसलिए, इन दोगलों से, जो इन हैंडल्स के प्रत्यक्ष और परोक्ष संचालक हैं, इनसे पूछा जाना चाहिए कि क्या मोदी का अपमान, पूरे ब्राह्मण समाज के अपमान और नरसंहार की योजना से ऊपर है? क्या आपने पूर�� तरह से सवर्णों को उनकी जगह दिखा दी है या अभी कुछ और देखना बाक़ी है।

मुझे भी मोदी को दी जाने वाली गालियों से घिन आती है, लिखा और लिखता रहूँगा, पर मैं यूनिवर्सिटी के दीवारों पर 'ब्राह्मणों वापस जाओ', 'ब्राह्मणों की कब्र खुदेगी' के नारों पर भी उतना ही चिंतित हूँ। और यह एक दिन फटेगा।

I am afraid Modi doesn't understand that among the urban GenZ that opposed him, no one gives a flying fuck about these videos.

You talking about indic culture won't work for a crowd that's barely Indian. Your disruptive speeches, strongman image, and anti-corruption positioning is what brought you to power and that is what will be appreciated by this cohort as well.

No one is going to tell their friends about your handloom videos. Arrest a few bureaucrats and politicians. Make a reel about that. Talk about crimes of the naxals and how you eliminated them. That shit will be talked about for weeks if not years.

These reels are far more important than your political rallies now. Portray strength for that's who you are.

[Gabbar @GabbbarSingh]

Indian Boomers aren’t able to convince Gen-Z saying “The alternative is much worse” coz most of these kids were watching Shinchan that time. Majority of the big achievements like Ram Mandir, Article 370, Naxalism etc have been about correcting historical wrongs. None of these wrongs are taught in NCERT, so for the Gen-Z these achievements are worthless.

The current govt after feeling smug about these milestones is resting while corruption is rearing its head again. And that’s the only thing visible to GenZ.

As India prepares to introduce new FCRA regulations to tighten oversight of foreign funding despite both internal and external pressure, the U.S. has announced a Major POLICY SHIFT. 🚨

The U.S. government says foreign aid will now be provided directly to national governments, rather than routed through NGOs.

"If the goal is to help a country, fund the country- not middlemen who turn aid into a business model or a vehicle for ideology."

Threatened by the PDA narrative after the 2024 results, they overcorrected by embracing Bheem politics. Right on cue, the UGC Regulations controversy erupted. Their insecurities over retaining OBC support led them into a trap of their own making.

Their biggest mistakes were threefold. First, they misled their Savarna voter base. Second, instead of openly admitting the regulations were a mistake and withdrawing them, they chose the judicial route to keep them in abeyance, fearing that a formal withdrawal by the government would hand the Opposition another opportunity to consolidate the PDA narrative. Finally, they turned on their own support base, expecting unquestioning compliance while branding any dissent as casteist or anti-national.

The acceptance of a caste census, the continued refusal to make the Rohini Commission report public, the reluctance to pursue OBC sub-categorisation, and the quiet attempts to breach the 50% reservation cap had already laid the groundwork. The UGC episode was merely the spark that ignited a carefully constructed but fragile social coalition. For a section of the BJP’s core supporters, it was seen as a clear BREACH OF TRUST.

India’s FCRA is about sovereignty, not religion.
No country allows unchecked foreign money into its NGOs.
Rules apply equally to everyone.
Stop the propaganda against India.

Imagine the Irony of all this.

The Telegram app was temporarily banned in India due to this exact misuse of edit feature of old messages to spread so called potential question papers of exam.

The same feature Telegram and its founder was defending was exploited by a bad faith actor to post Pornographic content in a Public Group which eventually led to Apple temporarily removing Telegram from the App Store.

I remember Government of India received so much flak due to this step and look after few weeks the owner of Telegram is issuing statement about the same feature.

“The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.”
— Samuel P. Huntington

My favorite quote from him.

[Joseph T Noony @JoeAgneya]

There are 3 ancient texts from the St Thomas Tradition-

Gospel of Thomas
Acts of Thomas
Infancy Gospel of Thomas

The first book is FULL of wisdom sayings taken directly from Mahayana sources, especially the Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra

The 'Hymn of the Pearl' embedded in the Acts of Thomas is a direct and audacious plagiarism of Pañcāvudha Jātaka- an Indian story about a prince of Kāsī being sent by the King and Queen to Takṣaśilā to be trained on a mission. The audacious author of the Pearl actually named this work 'The adventures of Thomas in the land of the Indians'.

The third book is a retelling of multiple infancy stories about the 'Child prodigy' from the Lalitavistara. ��Humbling the teacher’, prodigious numeracy/literacy, giving life to birds etc.

Dear Congressman Moore, please don't use St Thomas for Geopolitics. It will horribly back fire one day when the source-critical findings of recent research become public knowledge.
