@tishasaroyan Yes, temple icon taking was a practice. Philip Eaton has a good bit of material on it.

@rchoudhary_11 Sad thing is some hate groups will felicitate them secretly. Waiting to see what govt does. Depends on which state it is and what ideology runs there

@Devilindtail @rajtoday @mid_day @mumbaimatterz @mumbairailusers @LocalPressCo @AshwiniVaishnaw @raosahebdanve @DarshanaJardosh @PMOIndia @narendramodi Don’t abuse it’s not acceptable. AC trains are at first class cost. Today I travel very long distances at ten rupees and short for five rupees. Don’t take that away. AC is elite poor can’t afford it. Come out of your ivory tower

@Anurag_Dwary Being a creation of hype it’s obviously overstated by chest thumping . 80-100 is good speed and we should be proud of it. But not make it jingoistic nationalistic hype as everything else by govt

@TataCompanies This is incorrect history would request reputed group like yours to kindly check facts. CBI was a different bank by Pochkanwala and bought TIB legally and TIB was later liquidated

@ArchaeoNomad Childhood asthma debilitating levels, and social ostracism due to my speaking English in a non-English neighbourhood and my penchant for history, I went to a shrink 30 years later to release my chronic loneliness and social ostracism and increasing anxiety levels & health issues

@IndiaToday @PoojaShali It’s terrible, it’s the core of Indian history, it’s so petty and communally vindictive, running national education on a religious fundamentalism principle. The Great Mughals are Hindoostan’s pride and base for lot of the present.
