🚨NEW INVESTIGATION: A Fortune 500 company reportedly cancelled a @HinduAmerican training session after employees circulated its Wikipedia page.

That page tells readers HAF aligns with Hindu nationalism, threatens academic freedom, and has been accused of acting as a foreign agent.

We traced who built that narrative. The same handful of accounts kept appearing across HAF, its critics, activist groups, and key public figures—building an interconnected narrative that now feeds Google and AI systems.

Full investigation in thread. Receipts 👇

@aravind So easy for these repeated fake news peddlers to shoot and run and then claim it to be based on inaccurate or incorrect information.

[Aravind Suchindran @arvisusi]

Latest trick of these Western so-called intellectuals is to rage-bait on anything that's so obviously Indian & gain traction from the reactions.

Even this QT is sadly that.

Only good thing coming out of it - plunging reputation of the elite Univs these 'experts' represent.

[Audrey Truschke @AudreyTruschke]

This isn't Shiva. It's more likely adapted from proto-Elamite iconography, showing an Eurasian deity "lord of animals."

Indian history is amazing, wonderful, and fantastic -- It's well worth getting it right.

[HindolSengupta @HindolSengupta]

Even before the case, we must challenge the sheer audacity of a White woman in the US telling the Indian Ministry of Culture that she knows what Indian culture better than them is staggering. Can any Indian ever get away directing something like this towards America? This happens

[Aravind Suchindran @arvisusi]

A server meltdown is in the cards if such a platform was developed for reporting corruption in Karnataka.

Even if it's already not there, won't take long for the state's brilliant talent pool to roll out one product-solution soon.

[Raavanan @raavanamavan7]

Launching Makkal Saatchi ( https://t.co/y4OVP0jB50 ) - a public bribe and corruption reporting portal built to capture real public experiences across Tamil Nadu.

The platform covers 75 categories of bribes and corruption, e-Sevai overcharging, file delays, TASMAC issues, police, RTO, land, revenue, welfare schemes, tenders, public works, political influence and more.

Report anonymously. Expose patterns. Build public accountability.

[The Dossier @thedossier_in]

In his celebrated historical work Kitab al-Yamini, Abu Nasr Muhammad ibn Muhammad al Jabbarul-Utbi, who served as the secretary to Mahmud of Ghazni, provides a vivid and detailed account of the conquest of Thaneshwar (present-day Thanesar in Haryana). Al-Utbi writes: ‘The blood of the infidels flowed so copiously that the stream was discoloured, not withstanding its purity, and people were unable to drink it… The victory was gained by God’s grace, who has established Islam for ever as the best of religions, notwithstanding that idolaters revolt against it… Praise be to God, the protector of the world, for the honour he bestows upon Islām and Musulmans.’

What does this quote do? At least, for me, it celebrates the killing of the infidels, a religion, its God and Muslims for a victory. History is not merely a collection of dates, dynasties, and battles. It is the collective memory of a civilization—its triumphs, its wounds, its moments of glory, and its deepest traumas. Some chapters inspire pride; others demand solemn reflection. Among the most painful and transformative periods in the history of Bharat is the long era of Islamic invasions.

Till now, the Waqf Board only dared to claim 404 acres of lands belonging to 600 Munambam Hindu & Christian families. But the moment the Congress govt took power, state Waqf under Congress immediately registered the 404 acres officially on the Umeed portal to start the process of snatching their homes.

They warned us on day one itself that "On Kerala’s soil, the Muslim League will rule, The Muslim League will decide the laws…"

The reality is here. The League's rule has officially begun.

@KiranAradhyaadv @GBA_office @DKShivakumar The number of banners that come up in Vijayanagar is another disaster waiting to happen.

Current lot encourage such banners that have their supporters wishing them on birthdays & festivals.

Despite HC order against banners, supporters flay them with impunity cos nothing happens

[Aravind Suchindran @arvisusi]

@TVMohandasPai @bwssbchairman @DKShivakumar @CMofKarnataka @lkatheeq It's amusing how GBA officials say they were unaware of BWSSB's work & BWSSB, in turn, waited for the Corporation to fix the road before digging it up.

GBA was created to fix exactly this lack of coordination between agencies.

But the joke is on us - blame game continues.

[Aravind Suchindran @arvisusi]

@ChristinMP_ And as expected, BMRCL officials have come out with a report of their own explaining why it is not possible to run it entirely in solar.

It's tiring to see bureaucrats rubbish any and all valid claims of the scientific community and proceed with 'as it is in the DPR' approach.

[Aravind Suchindran @arvisusi]

Adi Shankaracharya's Upadesham for the present day world?

If all is Maya, at least it's great to see the example of Arsenal winning the EPL after 2003-04 Invincibles' season being used as an example to illustrate this.

[Aravind @aravind]

Arsenal wins after 22 years. Good to see a lot of people happy and contended.

But it means nothing. Because the EPL is a simulation inside an illusion that we create. Second order fake entertainment for our consciousness. True happiness and contentment lies outside all this.

[Swarajya @SwarajyaMag]

Digitisation has not removed corruption from land records, only relocated it. The bribe that once secured access to documents now secures the physical verification, which no portal can bypass.

The paper that owns you, in the end, does not own very much.

22 bottlenecks before you even enter the tunnel.
₹18,000 crore for a 'smooth ride', after surviving chaos.

With construction set to worsen traffic, is this the mobility fix Bengaluru really needs?

Team @NagaraAuto made a pitstop at MP @Tejasvi_Surya's office today.

With metered autos hard to find, Nagara’s growing network could be the answer to Bengaluru’s first and last mile connectivity challenges.

Stuck in traffic near Ragi Gudda Junction after smoother flow at Silk Board?

The much-hyped Double Decker Flyover, meant to ease congestion, is causing new bottlenecks. Here’s why!

7/ I urge @IndiGo6E & @DGCAIndia to review such practices and introduce safeguards for passengers traveling under compelling circumstances.

Exploiting emergencies for profit is unacceptable. This is a call for fair treatment and humane policies.

1/ I had to travel from Bengaluru to Kochi on 10/01/2025 due to the unfortunate demise of a family member. The last-minute booking cost me ₹16,215 for a 1-hour flight during non-peak hours. This was almost 7-8x the usual fare of ₹2,000-₹2,500.
@IndiGo6E @DGCAIndia

[Aravind Suchindran @arvisusi]

6/ This incident raises a larger question: How many travelers in emergencies face this predatory pricing daily? Airlines must have policies to cap fares or provide waivers in genuine emergencies. This isn’t just a grievance—it’s about fairness & accountability.
