Azadi slogans at a Gen Z protest?
Azadi slogans are used by Kashmir separatists and Islamists. These people clearly don’t want good governance, CJP is just another tukde tukde gang.

Q “Informed journalism requires deep study of the subject -what do you know about India”
A “yoga and curry”
In defense of Indian 🇮🇳 democracy!
During Prime Minister Narendra Modi most successful visit to Norway a minor incident happened. A Norwegian journalist demanded that the prime minister starts holding press conferences. She claimed that Indian democracy is in bad shape.
May be its time to pause? May be its time to be a bit curious to the world’s largest democracy?
Two weeks ago five Indian states and territories held elections. The turn out in the battlefield state of West Bengal was 94%. In the last local election in Norway it was 62%, in many European local elections turn out is below 50%. Can voting in massive numbers be a signal Indians trust their democratic process?
In the same election BJP won big in Assam and West Bengal. It lost even bigger in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Can this diversity be a signal that Indian democracy is reflecting the will of the people?
The journalist referred to a democracy ranking putting India at 157 in the world, behind many dictatorships and deeply troubled states. When a ranking is so obviously contrary to common sense, why not ask critical questions to those making the ranking rather than demand that leaders shall comment on nonsense? I recommend Salvatore Babones book “Dharma democracy”. The book debunks convincingly the flawed methodology of these rankings.
It was referred to a ranking claiming it’s very dangerous to be a journalist in India. Reality is that it is more dangerous to be journalist in the US and far more dangerous in the vast majority of other nations in the world.
Let’s be real. India is not perfect. Of course there are incidents. India has a population the size of North America, South America and Europe combined. But India is much more peaceful than Europe or the Americas. That’s remarkable - given the ethnic, language and religious diversity of India and the many development challenges.
Unless we consider democracy a form of government only suited for some very small, peaceful and homogeneous Western European nations, may be we should commend Indian democracy?
India is the only major former UK colony which became and has remained a democracy. Its sometimes claimed that the Brits taught India democracy. If that was the case why isn’t Myanmar or Pakistan or the Gulf kingdoms democracies??? Reality is that Indian democracy is both homegrown and extraordinary successful.
They were banking on useful idiots like you to laud this move. Before you go all bonkers ask if the state of minorities and the crimes against them have stopped? Have they stopped forced conversions? Have Hindu girls as young as 13 stopped being kidnapped, forcibly converted, raped and married to their kidnappers without any recourse to law or any relief from courts. But let’s congratulate them for brining back old names and play into their propaganda. Like I said, useful idiots.
@ShashiTharoor So the Christians elected a Muslim and the Muslims elected a Christian
Also the Hindus elected a Muslim
But nowhere did the Muslims or the Christians elected a Hindu
#KeralaStory indeed
Defeated CM refuses to resign. Frontrunner for the CM’s chair, Suvendu Adhikari’s close aide, is shot dead in a planned hit. If this still doesn’t tell the rest of India what the governance model in West Bengal has been, what will?
Reality of Yogendra Yadav
Before Elections:
- Mamata has successfully manged SIR
- SIR has no impact on Bengal Elections
- SIR won't change result
- No anti-incumbancy against Mamata
After Results:
- Mamata lost only because of SIR
No so dear @MahuaMoitra,
Remember these words, Violence is part of the history, it has nothing to do party.
These words will be used in next few days, weeks, years or decades.
The Great Nicobar Island Project.
China, Pakistan, and Rahul Gandhi are against it. Indian Armed Forces, National Green Tribunal, and Narendra Modi are for it.
Three people have been arrested in Falta for threatening voters - Atibur Sheikh, Habib Sheikh, and Habib Molla. All three are close associates of the prime accused, Israfil Chowkidar.
And yet, in a familiar pattern, the main accused remains “untraceable.”
When those at the center of intimidation conveniently evade arrest while peripheral players are picked up, it raises serious questions about intent and enforcement. Is this inefficiency, or something far more deliberate?
Is West Bengal police awaiting instructions from Mamata Banerjee’s nephew?
On one hand, Yogendra Salim Yadav instigates chaos on the streets, on the other hand, he pretends to neutrally analyze India's democratic process on national television.
Calling this urban naxal an “election expert” is an insult to democracy itself. This sham must be called out!
TMC-supporting regional supremacists and anti-marwari, anti-Bihari, anti-UP, anti-everything donkey Garga Chatterjee, the lead moron of Bangla Pokkho, booed with “chor chor” chants by local Bengalis of Bhawanipore.
At OpIndia, we ‘christened’ him as the Gutkha Pill in 2019 https://t.co/3MsFZn6gSp
This is HUGE!
Falta election countermanded,
fresh election ordered in TMC
thug Jahangir Khan’s stronghold.
Neither Pishi @MamataOfficial nor Bhaipo @abhishekaitc could have ever imagined that ECI would dare order repolling in entire Falta which is the fiefdom of their close associate Jehangir, a criminal with a Goonda Bahini.
This is a Jhor, a cyclone, that has just swept through Bhaipo’s arena of goondagiri.
Pishi is not only shocked but also distraught.
ECI order:
On Consideration of severe electoral offences and subversion of democratic process during the polling in a large number of polling stations on 29th April 2026 in 144-Falta Assembly Constituency, West Bengal:
1. ECI directs that fresh poll shall be conducted in *all* the 285 polling stations, including Auxiliary polling stations;
2. Fresh Poll in all polling stations will be conducted between 7 AM to 6 PM on *21st May 2026*; and
3. Counting of votes
will take place on 24th May 2026
How @indiatoday and @PreetiChoudhry run anti-BJP propaganda.
Preeti says Bengali Migrants are beaten in "BJP States".
Seriously?
Attached India Today news of 2026 where Bengali migrants have been attacked in Congress ruled Karnataka and Jharkhand.
But Preeti has been hired only to peddle Fake News against BJP.
Dear @aroonpurie does India Today pay salary to Preeti or does she collects her cheque directly from 10 Janpath?
This is not satyagraha, but PURE BLACKMAIL. That is an attempt to tell the judiciary: rule my way, or I will put your legitimacy on trial.
Arvind Kejriwal lost his recusal plea on law, and instead of challenging it in the proper appellate forum first, he has chosen to boycott the judge and try to perform martyrdom in public.
And look at the precedent he is trying to create. A judge attends a professional legal event organised by a body you dislike, and suddenly she must recuse. A judge’s children are empanelled as government panel counsel, and suddenly she must recuse. If that absurd standard is accepted, a huge part of the Indian judiciary would be disqualified from hearing any matter involving the government, which in criminal law is practically every second case.
That is why this Kejriwal move is so ludicrous. By his logic, next time any judge appears on a panel where the government is present, accepts an invitation to a legal forum, or has a relative with a government brief, that judge can be hounded out. It is a recipe for paralysing courts through manufactured suspicion - with a logic that turns every difficult case into a judge-shopping carnival.
That's why this stunt deserves to be trashed in the strongest terms.
MUST WATCH
Padma-winning Kazi Masum Akhtar, the madrassa headmaster who was beaten up by Islamists for encouraging students to sing the National Anthem, rips Mamata govt apart. TMC just used Muslims as goons, he says.
(The interview is in Bengali)
Fact-checker @zoo_bear is begging for donations. I will make sure he gets his entire year’s requirements.
All he has to do is to fact-check publicly whether what Nupur said is derived from Sunan an-Nasa'i 3378; Vol. 4, B 26, Hadith 3380.
Take the challenge, Zubair. "Be a man."
