The irony of Kashmir
People who actually work on social issues stay invisible while people with the right connections get invited to preach about the same things they themselves are involved in privately LOL😂

PR really does wonders here!

To all the women who carry silent battles in their hearts and still walk through life with patience,remember this: Allah sees every struggle the world chooses to ignore.
Every sacrifice,every silent tear,every moment of sabr is known to Him. May Allah reward your sabr with ease.

Agree or disagree,

All the lawyers and judges together can’t flex or throw ego like one nazir does solo. Funny how the quiet corners always make the loudest noise!

Read a Schopenhauer quote today that said,
“ If you want to reach a large audience, appeal to idiots.”
It made a lot of recent politics make sense.
Just a thought from someone who’s been watching Ikyky.

activists thrown behind bars for daring to speak, and pollution so deep that it feels like part of our identity now. Anyways "SAB CHANGA SI" after all, we even managed a 10-hour discussion on Vande Bharat!

[Farhat Riyaz @farhat_riyaz]

We’re told it’s a “golden age,” but all I see is Finest lawyers stepping away, judges treating the Constitution like a draft they can edit anytime, a government that keeps testing how much trust people can lose and still function, a rupee that refuses to stand up straight, +1

Cinnamon Season 🍁 🍂

[Mahesh Jethmalani @JethmalaniM]

The massive victory of the NDA in the Bihar Assembly polls and the corresponding rout of the MGB is a resounding thumbs up for PM Narendra Modi's ideology and program for New India and #ViksitBharat :

1. The PM has made it clear that the only caste constituency that matters for him is women, youth , farmers and the poor. The Bihar election has proved that the old caste & religious cleavages (the much vaunted MY alliance in Bihar) are deadwood for the New India and caste warriors are meant for the dustbins of history.

2. The sweeps in both Maharashtra and Bihar have sounded the death knell of dynasty. The Pawars, the Thackerays , the Laloo-Rabris and their progeny and all the pompous and grating Gandhi-Vadras have been humiliated in defeat and face extinction.

3. The same fate stares the dynasts in Uttar Pradesh & West Bengal: the new politics will sweep aside the Akhilesh-MY combination in UP and the Mamata/Abhishek policy of unabashed Muslim appeasement along with persistent unchecked violence against Hindus in WB.

4. The core of dynastic politics being self perpetuation, pillage of the state exchequer rather than visionary growth and welfare policies is the conspicuous feature of their rule.

5. Dynasts are inherently antithetical to national security and in fact covert allies of foreign interests inimical to the growth of India & Hindu consolidation. Terrorist attacks peaked in the country and in their states during their rule and far from any punitive retaliation against the sponsors, the response was almost an apology for the perpetrators; on 26/11 the then Home Minister of Maharashtra downplayed the horrific incident with a shockingly insensitive comment - बड़े बड़े श��र मैं ऐसे छोटे छोटे घटनाएँ होते हैं !

Dynast Rahul went to the extent of coining the phrase "Hindu terrorism" and even had the gumption to privately tell the then US Ambassador that this terrorism was more dangerous than LeT terrorism.

Today significant sections of the western media and social media influencers in the light of their own experience are openly proclaiming that terrorism HAS a religion. ONE RELIGION. Dynasts - given their constituencies - are soft on terrorism. They are incapable of conceiving counter terrorism doctrines like punitive retaliation and strategic escalation. Their mantra was and remains strategic restraint: a pusillanimous and effete refusal to impose deterrence.

And remember this for sure - Dynasts can never secure India’s borders. The abolition of Art 370 has never been on their agenda and have been critical of or conspicuous in their silence of the Supreme Court judgement upholding the abolition. They are viscerally opposed to the CAA and lawyers proximate to them are in the forefront of court battles to protect illegal immigrants from expulsion- they champion the causes of illegal Bangladesh migrants and Rohingya refugees.

They are the vehicle by which George and Alex Soros wish to change the demographics of India and would welcome such demographic change in their constituencies to enhance their political fortunes. Unfortunately, the NDA & the CAA has ruined their dreams and their future!
