I tweet about life, sports, movies, & politics, mostly with sarcasm. I read wild takes here, but figure the truth's always chilling somewhere in the middle.
Here's what has gone wrong:
Narendra Modi Leadership
India did not elect a Baba or somebody who gives pravachan like Man ki Baat but a leader who talks to people directly on issues that matter the most.
Everyone who is protesting is not Anti national. Yes, there are many bad elements in the protest but still you douse the fire by showing courage and leadership during times of crisis and communication is an important part of it. It's very sad what's happening. BJP does not realize its losing lots of its support base right now.
The biggest enemies of both the country and the government are the sycophants who have stopped thinking for themselves. To them, every protest in India is the work of the deep state, a toolkit, a Soros-backed operation, or some foreign conspiracy.
This is the kind of discourse we used to associate with Pakistan, where every problem was explained away as a conspiracy. Everything was blamed on some shadowy external force instead of looking inwards. It is astonishing to see a similar conspiratorial mindset taking root in India. Many of these people seem to believe that, because they are followed by ministers and, in some cases, even by the Prime Minister, they are setting the government’s narrative. They are not. They are simply performing loyalty, trying to prove how useful they are to those in power while pretending to speak for the public. They are pawns in an ecosystem that rewards blind allegiance over independent thought. Spend five minutes talking to these people, and it becomes obvious that they cannot engage in any serious discussion. They haven’t read a single book in their life. They haven’t read or written a single article in their life. Their understanding of the world comes almost entirely from mainstream media and forwards on platforms like WhatsApp and Facebook, and everyone knows the kind of ecosystem much of that has become.
Ironically, they are the ones doing the greatest disservice to the government. They present themselves as the voice of the people, but they are not. They are performing loyalty, constantly trying to prove how faithfully they can defend the leadership. In doing so, they create a mutually reinforcing ecosystem in which every criticism becomes a conspiracy and every protest becomes the work of foreign forces, a toolkit, or anti-national elements.
The tragedy is that this drowns out any honest conversation about why people are actually angry. Instead of engaging with genuine public grievances, the discourse is hijacked by people who see conspiracies everywhere. This kind of thinking reduces every complex issue to shadowy plots and hidden enemies. It is a pretty unserious way of understanding a democracy, and it ultimately harms both the government and the country because it replaces reality with comforting fiction.
And this is not about a single issue or one immediate demand. It is about frustration that has accumulated over years. You cannot simply brush every protest aside by invoking a foreign hand, a Pakistani conspiracy, a toolkit gang, or anti-national elements. Democracies require governments to listen to genuine public grievances, even when they are uncomfortable.
What is particularly worrying is the pattern. The government often seems to respond only after a situation has spiralled out of control. We saw this during the Shaheen Bagh protests, whose aftermath included the Delhi riots. We saw it during the farmers’ agitation, which saw prolonged confrontation and violence. Now we are seeing student protests. Governments cannot afford to wait until tensions boil over before recognising that public anger is real. Yes, sometimes these issues are blown out of proportion, but that is often because they have been left unattended for so long. By the time political opponents move in to exploit the situation for their own politics, the government finally wakes up. Every major crisis begins with a trigger, but those triggers only become explosive when underlying grievances have been allowed to build for too long.
मोदी जी, स्वयं के अभिमान को बगल में रखिए, बोलिए!
गोपाल राय इस पूरे आंदोलन के सूत्रधार हैं। सारा लॉजिस्टिक्स, योजना देख रहे हैं। संभावना है कि आने वाले दिनों में यह आंदोलन रामलीला मैदान तक पहुँचेगा। उन्हें रामलीला मैदान का अनुभव भी है, वो इसे लम्बा खींच भी लेंगे।
@BJP4India इनका कुछ न बिगाड़ पाई है, न बिगाड़ पाती दिखती है। ये न तो पंजाब में प्रदर्शनकारियों की पिटाई पर कुछ नैरेटिव बना पा रहे हैं, न केरल पर। न ये यह बता पा रहे हैं कि गहलोत और राहुल गाँधी किस मुँह से पेपर लीक पर बोल रहा है?
@narendramodi जी का व्यक्तिगत सम्मान/अहंकार/अकड़ वामपंथियों को अवसर दे रहा है कि वो इस बार शाहीन बाग और किसान आंदोलन के हायब्रिड मॉडल ला कर पूरे देश में ऐसे कॉकरोच पार्क बनवा देंगे। इसमें लोग मरेंगे, यह तय है।
बीच सत्र में मंत्री तो नहीं हटेगा, पर अब कॉन्ग्रेस अड़ गई है कि बिना उसके हम संसद में चर्चा नहीं होने देंगे। जब इनके अपने समर्थकों ने इनसे जनवरी से यही बात कही, तो ये चिढ़ा रहे थे कि गुजरात निकाय चुनाव जीत गए, बंगाल में 208 आ गया।
19 जुलाई तक मुझे विश्वास था कि इसे सरकार नियंत्रित कर लेगी, पर सरकार की नपुंसकता ने पुलिस को लाल किला वाली पिटाई याद दिला दी। हर तरफ पुलिस पर हो रही बर्बरता के चिह्न दिख रहे हैं।
‘@AmitShah भूलते नहीं’, यह सुनने में बहुत अच्छा लगता है। नक्सली गतिविधियों को, कश्मीर को, NGO गिरोह को साधने में बहुत बड़ा रोल रहा है इनका। परंतु, उसके समानांतर CAA, किसान आंदोलन जैसी विफलताएँ भी हैं।
@PMOIndia में लोग हैं, @anil_baluni जैसे मँजे हुए मीडिया मैनेजर हैं सरकार के, क्या आप लोगों को लगता नहीं कि पीएम का एक ‘राष्ट्र के नाम संदेश’ इस पूरी व्याधि को समाप्त कर देगा?
“मेरे प्यारे देशवासियो!
पिछले दिनों में विद्यार्थियों के नाम पर जो हो रहा है, उससे मुझे बहुत पीड़ा हुई है। विद्यार्थियों के हितों के लिए मैं उनके परिजन की तरह, पिता की तरह प्रतिबद्ध हूँ। मैं यह मानता हूँ कि पेपर लीक एक बहुत बड़ी समस्या है और सरकार इसे रोकने में विफल रही है।
हम यह भी जानते हैं कि पेपर लीक की व्यापकता किसी एक सरकार से परे है। अतः हम शीघ्र ही देश के हर शिक्षा मंत्री के साथ, ब्यूरोक्रेसी के साथ एक वृहद चर्चा कर के, इसका समाधान निकालेंगे। प्रधानमंत्री के तौर पर यह मेरा व्यक्तिगत दायित्व है कि हम अपने बच्चों को एक स्वस्थ तंत्र दें।
हमने यह भी तय किया है कि 2024 में लाए पेपर लीक कानून को संशोधित कर, इस माफिया की जड़ तक जाएँगे। अब न केवल कंपनी, बल्कि हर व्यक्ति भी ब्लैकलिस्ट किया जाएगा।
ब्ला ब्ला ब्ला…
नमस्कार!”
तत्पश्चात्, दो-चार बड़े अधिकारियों को (CBSE चेयरमैन, NTA डायरेक्टर आदि) को सेवामुक्त करें, जाँच बिठाएँ। यदि नहीं किया तो, चापलूस आपको ‘मोदी-शाह पुराने नेता हैं’ का सुगम संगीत सुना कर बर्बाद कर देंगे।
बाकी, आप बेहतर जानते हैं।
Exactly my thoughts. It’s high time @narendramodi came down from his high horse. The country needs dialogue, not just Mann Ki Baat or Pariksha Par Charcha. Leadership also means accountability. At the very least, communicate with the people. @ajeetbharti
@poserarcher@ians_india You asshole, call me Andhbhalt, but this is what all police force do, see Punjab police beating. You are so blinded with hate that you are not thinking rationally. You continue sucking up Dipke.
While it’s important to support our students and ask for educational reforms that positively impact the future of our youth, it’s also very important that peaceful protests by students are Not hijacked by anti national elements to create chaos & change the nature of the protest.
Seeing so much hate & divide online makes me wonder if bad elements in & outside our country have already started to work overtime to weaponise the anger & frustration felt by our students.
I have always believed in hard work, equality and excellence & that should never be compromised. I also believe in our democracy, law and order & our government, therefore I sincerely hope that both sides enter into meaningful & constructive dialogue & weed out any nefarious elements & agendas out of this protest & conversation , so the future is bright for our youth and for our democracy ! 🇮🇳 Jai Hind !
