When BJP worker #PraveshShukla pissed on a tribal man, on camera, his atrocious behavior was obviously an extreme departure from the norm in Modi’s “New India.” His act was nothing more than an aberration.

Admittedly, there have been a few other "aberrations" in recent days....

When a Sunday middle asks the questions on Manipur that newspapers should be asking in their editorials or on their front pages. On Biren's continuation as CM, on a BJP MLA forcing the army to hand over militants, and Modi's continuing silence for 67 days.

Look at this picture, here a mothers milk visibly changed overnight to meet the demands of her baby who was unwell at the time

Those signals are communicated to the mother by saliva from her baby, the mother may even be unaware of her baby’s health status yet levels of white blood cells in milk are boosted. Research shows compositions of lactoferrin which is an immune molecule, which carries out protective functions like piercing the walls of harmful bacteria, are also found to be increased in the weeks prior to and following an infant's illness.

Breast milk is awesome in its complexity and the way it constantly changes and is tailored 1/🧵

The National Green Trubunal (NGT) was set up in October 2010 by an Act of Parliament making India one of the very few countries to have such a specialised institution to protect the environment and ensure sustainable development.

Since 2014 the Modi Govt has spared no effort to weaken the NGT and dilute its effectiveness. Now it faces a crucial test. With the retirement of its Chairperson this Thursday, who was as per law a retired judge of the Supreme Court, serious doubts have arisen as to whether such a jurist who has served on the apex court will agree to be the Chairperson given the way it has been emasculated.

We can only hope that the original spirit of the NGT Act is preserved although its letter has been amended to make the position of the Chairperson less attractive to a retired Supreme Court judge.

Savarkar 'Betrayed' Netaji and His INA

RSS-BJP rulers of India have been trying to show off as great fans of Netaji.
But Indians must know what role ideological parents of today's RSS/BJP played against Netaji and INA.

The Hindu Mahasabha and RSS which always had prominent lawyers on their rolls made no attempt to defend the INA accused at Red Fort trials.

There are plenty of documents available in the archives of Hindu Nationalist Organizations to show the terrible betrayal of his cause by the Hindu Mahasabha under the leadership of Savarkar who was also adored by the RSS as Hindutva icon.

When Netaji was planning to liberate the northeast of the country through INA, it was VD Savarkar who offered full military cooperation to the British masters.
While addressing 23rd session of Hindu Mahasabha at Bhagalpur in 1941, he said:
"The war which has now reached our shores directly constitutes at once a danger and an opportunity which both render it imperative that the militarization movement musts be intensified and every branch of the Hindu Mahasabha in every town and village must actively engage itself in rousing the Hindu people to join the army, navy, the aerial forces and the different war-craft manufactories."

(Cited in Savarkar, V. D., "Samagra Savarkar Wangmaya: Hindu Rashtra Darshan", vol. 6, Maharashtra Prantik Hindusabha, Poona, 1963, pp. 460-61.)

Savarkar called upon Hindus "to flood the [British] army, the navy and the aerial forces with millions of Hindu warriors with Hindu Sanghatanist hearts"

Assured them that if Hindus recruited in the British armed forces...
"our Hindu nation is bound to emerge far more powerful, consolidated and situated in an incomparably more advantageous position to face issues after the war— whether it be an internal anti-Hindu Civil War or a constitutional crisis or an armed revolution."
(Ibid., p. 461.)

I have realized Modi’s lies, ineptitude & buffoonery isn’t the main thing that annoys most

It’s his dumb asinine parasitic imbecile hallucinating blind fans that vex the hell out of us

India’s main problem isn’t Modi, it’s his leech cult with their heads inside dark fetid place

China’s 13th five-year plan (2016-20) explicitly called for the internationalisation of its currency to eventually displace the US dollar as the global reserve currency. What is puzzling is why the Modi government has been assisting the Chinese government in this effort by settling oil transactions with Russia in yuan at a time when India and China are locked in a military confrontation and Chinese troops are still blocking our access to critical areas along the LAC.

This on top of record imports of $98 billion from China and a record trade deficit of $83 billion. The answer to Russia’s reluctance to absorb huge rupee balances cannot be to aid Chinese hegemony. This is a yet another betrayal of PM Modi’s promise to show 'Lal Aankh' to China.
