My exit poll! As I leave #Bengal, it would be a disservice not to say this: I have come to deeply admire the way women inhabit space here. There is a quiet, almost subconscious elevation of women as independent beings . something that stands in stark contrast to the entrenched misogyny that still finds resonance across much of northern India. Perhaps it stems from a cultural understanding of shakti. A form of empowerment that manifests here in ways both subtle and profound, unlike anywhere else in the country, even in the south.
Any woman journalist who has covered political rallies across India will recognize the difference immediately. Other states, a crowd is not just a logistical challenge, it carries risk. the inevitability of wandering hands, the violation masked by chaos. Here, the crowds are no less dense, the air no less heavy with sweat and alcohol—but the hands, for the most part, do not grope. Men step aside to make way. When contact happens, as it inevitably does in chaos, there is visible embarrassment rather than entitlement. What you encounter is not chivalry, but something far rarer: equality. And equality feels far more meaningful. Was never a fan of chivalry in any case :) 
There is more. Women politicians across party lines campaign with a striking freedom, aggressive, sharp, unapologetically irreverent, often using what would elsewhere be labelled as ‘masculine’ rhetoric. In most states, such behaviour would invite judgment, even censure. Here, it is met with acceptance,  applause. What feels liberating to an outsider is, in Bengal, simply normal. What we frame as empowerment  here is a cultural undercurrent.
I have covered four elections in this state, and each time I have returned with the same sense of awe. Bengal, meanwhile, ambles on with a certain bemusement, as if unaware of what sets it apart. But it is a big deal. And perhaps the most remarkable part is that Bengal does not think so.
Governments will come and go. One can only hope that this constant endures, not just how Bengal sees its women, but how, in many ways, it doesn’t. ♥️♥️♥️

Do you know - Both #DonaldTrump and #NarendraModi are strict teetotallers ! Both do not Drink, meaning both do not consume alcohol! What better argument can you have in favour of drinking? Lift #NLTP in #Nagaland. Let's make this world a better place. Cheers ! 😄🍻

This explains why I kept a safe distance from Modi from the time he assumed power in May 2014. I did not even go to gift him a copy of my book on him. Just sent an unsigned copy through his favourite bureaucrat Bharat Lal!
The names of women who were made MPs and ministers by Modi due to intimacy with him were being whispered loudly enough within Sanghi power networks right at the outset. That is why I took precautions very early on.
The names of those like Hardeep Puri who provided him special services while he was Gujarat CM were also being shared in hushed tones as soon as Hardeep and Jaishankar were included in the Cabinet!
In 2014, when I went for lectures to America, there too tales of his aiyyashi were doing the rounds.
Appointment of 12th pass Smriti Irani as Education Minister had given credence to other scandals, till then hidden from public view.
The scandal involving Mansi Soni had already reached the Supreme Court.
Someone close to Modi gave me a whole set of papers submitted in the Supreme Court by the incarcerated IAS officer who too was having a rollicking time with Soni.
In addition, people from Gujarat, including some of those close to Modi, shared with me disgusting stories of his sickly dalliances with women while he was Gujarat CM.
And earlier while he was pracharak and BJP office bearer!
Hearing those stories, I became so averse to his presence that I avoided even those functions, including marriage receptions, where Modi was likely to show up!
So traumatized I was by the gory accounts that I actually sank into deep depression in 2014 which deeply impacted my health. Went for 21 days to an Ayurvedic healing centre in Coimbatore in 2015 in the hope of recovering from multiple shocks.
I remember when I shared my grief at the reports I was hearing with a very senior RSS intellectual, he shrugged it off saying, "why are you so shocked? Why should his personal life bother any of us?"
The appointment of #pornpeddler Amit Malviya as BJP's Social
Media incharge was yet another proof of the inclinations of the top bosses of BJP!
I might have overlooked his predatory sexual conduct, if he had done well on other fronts.
But his aggressive peddling of genocidal vaccines and brazen attempts at crushing Hindu samaj and demonizing Hindu dharma, his outrageous patronage of Bheemtas and Meemtas to launch lethal attacks on Hindus, his slavish conduct vis a vis the Globalist Mafia, his devilish conduct in persecuting Hindus during the Kathua Kand (described in detail in my book The Girl From Kathua, A Sacrificial Victim of GhazwaE Hind) and much else, made me realize in the first term itself that we are saddled with a Satanic ruler, a CIA plant who has been put in power to wreck India, and decimate Hindus!
Modi's personality disorders have convinced me that we should pay far more attention to sexual corruption of our leaders.
Those who are compromised on this front very easily succumb to blackmail by enemies of Bharat, than those who are financially corrupt!
Will soon provide proof of how he is being blackmailed from day one.
Hence the vulgar 56 inchiya boasts!

@elonmusk Why bother about social engineeringn sexualization of children in the western world @Patelindianlion? A Sanskari Gujju need not worry - or shud we blame Netflix for the skyrocketing sales of condoms during Navratri in Gujarat? That too despite the ban on non-veg ! 🤔

This sillysoul calling herself a journalist from NCR, thinks Kolkata was at fault for facing the worst cloudburst in half a century. Delhi/Gurgaon drowns in 2 hours of mild rain. They have to keep their brains on mortgage for a job in Godi-channels. #Kolkatarain

Look at the brighter side - No Pretense at least ! Shows we have a decisive strong Govt at the Centre !

Story that caught the eye: Modi Govt issues sweeping ‘TAKEDOWN NOTICES’ to journalists/media houses,You Tubers, even satirists for any story mentioning Adani group. Directive cites Delhi court’s gag order in defamation case filed by Adani Enterprises. https://t.co/vi2d8CagOg
