I was watching Dhruv Rathee's latest video while having dinner, and honestly, I was laughing throughout. He kept quoting what seemed like factually incorrect claims, apparently picked up from different social media platforms.
But there was one moment where things suddenly changed, and it genuinely made me think.
Throughout the video, while referring to Aditya Dhar and Narendra Modi, he used words like "uska" and "tu," which come across as casual or even disrespectful.
However, the moment he started talking about Atiq Ahmed and his brother, who were killed in an encounter, his tone shifted noticeably, and he began using words like "unke" and "unke liye," as if showing a certain level of respect.
Now, I understand that he may have strong disagreements with Dhar and Modi, but imagine showing more respect to a criminal who himself admitted to having links with the ISI.
At this point, it honestly feels like Dhruv Rathee isn't even trying to hide it anymore.

🎙️"On the night of the 2015 Clásico against Real Madrid at the Camp Nou, the pressure was unbelievable. At halftime, we were barely ahead, and everyone felt the game wasn't over yet. Enrique stormed into the dressing room, furious, speaking angrily, demanding more focus. Then he stopped abruptly, looked at Messi, and said, 'Leo, the team needs you now more than ever. Do what you always do.' Messi calmly raised his head and replied with his usual smile, 'Don't worry, Luis... we won't let them leave here with anything.'" 🤯❤
🎙️"His words alone changed the atmosphere. We went into the second half and Messi began to orchestrate every touch, every attack, with deadly confidence and composure. It was as if he could see the game before it happened. He created the second goal with a pass only he could see, and the fans began chanting his name from every corner of the stadium. When the match ended, I looked at him and found him smiling as usual… He didn't celebrate much, he just raised his head as if to say: The answer is always on the pitch. Messi is the leader who doesn't talk much, the best in history, without a doubt." 🐐👑💙🔥
An Indian who had been living in Japan for more than a yr noticed something strange : his Japanese friends were polite & helpful, yet none of them ever invited him to their home, not even for a cup of tea.
Confused & hurt, he finally asked one Japanese friend why this was so.
After a long silence, the friend replied, "We are taught Indian history… not for inspiration, but as a warning."
The Indian, astonished, asked, "A warning? Indian history is taught as a warning? Please explain why."
The Japanese friend asked, "How many English ruled India?"
The Indian replied, "Maybe… about 10,000?"
The Japanese person nodded seriously & asked, "At that time, weren’t there over 300 million Indians?"
"So who committed the atrocities on your people? Who followed the orders to whip, torture, & shoot them?"
He asked emphatically, "When General Dyer ordered the firing at Jallianwala Bagh, who pulled the trigger? Was it the English soldiers? No, it was Indians."
"Why didn’t anyone point their rifle at General Dyer, not a single person?" He continued, "The slavery you talk about—this was your real slavery. Not of the body, but of the soul."*
The Indian stood motionless, silent, & ashamed.
The Japanese friend continued, "How many Mughals came from Central Asia? Maybe a few thousand? And yet they ruled you for centuries."
"The Mughals did not rule India through their numbers; it was your own people who bowed to them, obeyed them, betrayed their own, and showed loyalty to the Mughals. Either to survive or for silver coins."
"Your own people converted to their religions."
"Your own people betrayed your heroes to the English. Who betrayed Chandrashekhar Azad? Who informed the English about his hiding place in Alfred Park?"
"Bhagat Singh was not easily executed without the permission of those people (Gandhi-Nehrus) who called themselves patriots."
"You Indians do not need foreign enemies. Your own people repeatedly betray you for power, position, and personal gain. That is why we keep distance from Indians."
"When the English came to Hong Kong and Singapore, not a single local joined their army. But in India, you did not just join the enemy’s army—you served them. You worshipped them. You killed your own people to please them."
"Even today, you have not changed. You have learned no lessons from history. Even for a little free electricity, a bottle of alcohol, or a blanket—you sell your vote, your conscience, and your voice without thinking."
"You chant slogans, protest, but when the country needs your sacrifice, where are you? Your first loyalty is still to your home, family, wife, children, and wealth.
The rest—country —can go to hell."
After saying this, the Japanese left, and the Indian stood there, head bowed, frozen in shame.
#WATCH | Kanpur, UP: On upcoming India vs Pakistan match in Asia Cup 2025, Aishanya Dwivedi - wife of Pahalgam terror attack victim Shubham Dwivedi, says, "BCCI should not have accepted a match between India and Pakistan...I think BCCI is not sentimental towards those 26 families...What are our cricketers doing? It is said that cricketers are nationalists. It is viewed as our national game. But except 1-2 cricket players, nobody stepped forward to say that we should boycott the match against Pakistan. BCCI cannot make them play at gunpoint. They should take a stand for their country. But they are not doing it. I would like to ask the sponsors and broadcasters if their nationality for those 26 families is finished?...What will the revenue from the match be used? Pakistan will use this just for terrorism...That is a terrorist nation...You will provide them revenue and prepare them to attack us once again. I cannot understand this...I urge people to boycott this. Do not go to watch this and do not switch on your TV for this..."
An absolute shame on the @BCCI.
This was my view a few weeks ago.
This is my view today.
Cricket with Pakistan legitimises a terror state, enriches the PCB & Pak economy & thereby indirectly funds the cycle of terror.
Shame. #AsiaCup2025#INDvsPAK
Love cricket, always will. But this #IndVsPak match feels wrong.
.
@BCCI made it clear—when it came to choosing between Nation and Revenue, they chose ‘Revenue’
