the way desi twt talks about 2010s bollywood you’d think we were living through some cinematic golden age. guys. a lot of those movies were terrible. somehow ab we’ve entered an era that’s even worse. but by no means does that mean the movies yall keep romanticising were good.
@ccphusrox Yes, the 1st decade was better than the 2010s. It was the very end of the socialist era lyrics which had made songs very popular in the 90s as well as bringing in new aspirational stories after liberalisation.
Additionally, cultural flourishes when there is irreverence to power.
It is poetic justice that the chief minister of the party that brought in a Pakistan-style anti-blasphemy law in Indian Punjab is now facing excommunication and denunciation for alleged "beadbi" by religious organizations.
Wonder if he will also face prosecution and criminal action under this blasphemy law, or are such actions only reserved to target political opponents and unconnected people who can be arrested and imprisoned for so-called beadbi at the drop of a hat.
Whatever he did or did not do, it is not the place of a religious establishment to overrule or punish a secular elected government official in a secular republic. There should be no blasphemy in the nation or it’ll be a very slippery slope indeed!
The actions of a ‘Khalsa Panth Virodhi’ CM have deeply hurt Sikh sentiments, leaving countless Sikhs feeling betrayed.
He disrespected the constitutional office of the Chief Minister by lying before the Akal Takht, claiming that the video was AI-generated.
Respect for the Guru Sahibs and Sikh traditions is not a matter of politics. It is a matter of faith, identity, and reverence.

Is it now the official party position that the constitutional office of Punjab CM is subservient to Akal Takht?
Mann can be criticised without celebrating fatwa issuers (who demanded ban on RSS, lie about Gurus not celebrating Holi, etc etc), but no. BJP minister calling Bhindranwale a shaheed wasn’t enough apparently.
But let’s not disturb BJP supporters over these anti national actions of the party. They are too busy pretending to be hurt over Annamalai’s tweet (which was disgusting btw). Unfortunately, all the lessons on nationalism, casteism, regionalism stop when it comes to the party.

#WATCH | Udham Singh Nagar, Uttarakhand: CM Pushkar Singh Dhami was seen ploughing his private agricultural fields behind his residence in Nagla Tarai, Khatima.
It took the state four months. It is the same state which taxed relatives of people who were shot by the state to retrieve their mortal remains for immediate Islamic burial.
No matter how brave many in Iran were on all sides, the state did not fully come out unscathed.
The farewell, funeral, and burial ceremonies for the pure bodies of Martyr Khamenei and the members of his family — martyrs Dr. Misbah al‑Huda Baqeri Kani, Sayyida Bushra Hosseini Khamenei, Zahra Haddad Adel, and Zahra Mohammadi Golpayegani — will be held as follows:
