@ARanganathan72 Physical harm needs to be condemned. But when it comes to overworking or 36 hr straight shifts, residency in US in no different. People do work longer stretch here too
Meet Sharanya Iyer
She is criticising Indian men for the lack of bikini culture in India, saying Indian men stare at women all the time and that women are slut-shamed, unlike in Australia.
Now look at her in Afghanistan, no feminism barking; she just shuts her mouth and wears the attire they want her to.
And she is lying about Australia. Aussie women report beach harassment, and 1 in 3 have faced unwanted touching/grabbing.
Australia is literally fighting a crisis of "creep shots" and non-consensual filming at beaches.
She also made a video in the Maldives where she addressed that bikinis are banned in many places and that tourists should respect the local culture.
And why are Indian feminist women obsessed with promoting bikinis? Why are they such bootlickers of white corporates? The bikini was literally designed to boost tourism by sexualising women. Even that tanning concept is fake. Coco Chanel, the one who started this tan trend, herself hated revealing attire.
@kristanjore Vaigai? Does it flow? :) You have to look at the pathetic state of the only perennial river of TN #thamirabharani now. Among all, people of TN has zero civic sense or respect when it comes to water bodies. They float all rules
Again I am reiterating, Mumbai in next 5 years is going to change like never before in every which way...
will the population also change its ways and methods??
As an Indian woman from Muslim heritage, I write this rebuttal with the clarity and directness that comes from living the reality @Ilhan only tweets about from afar. Ilhan Omar’s claim that India has reached the “eighth stage of genocide” against Muslims is not analysis. It is reckless, fact-free propaganda that insults every one of us who actually live here, work here, raise families here, and exercise our rights every single day.
If there were even the beginning of genocide, our population would not have exploded. In 1951, Muslims were about 9.8% of India. By 2011, we were 14.2%. Today we are estimated around 14.5–15%, heading toward 18% by 2050 according to Pew projections. From roughly 35 million in 1951 to over 200 million now. Absolute numbers have multiplied nearly six-fold while the country’s overall population grew far slower in percentage terms. Genocide does not produce the world’s largest Muslim-minority population that keeps growing faster than the national average for decades. It produces mass graves and fleeing refugees. We have neither.
We vote in every election in the world’s largest democracy. We contest seats, win them, become MPs, ministers, judges, IAS officers, doctors, engineers, and business leaders. Three Presidents of India have been Muslim. We serve in the armed forces and police. We own businesses, run hospitals, produce films, and dominate segments of entertainment and sports. This is not the signature of a community facing extermination.
We are thriving and prospering — with real data and real lives. Yes, like every large community, we have internal challenges — lower average literacy and educational enrollment in some metrics, pockets of poverty, and the need for better skilling. But the narrative of uniform victimhood is a lie told by people who have never walked through a Muslim-dominated area in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Lucknow, or Kerala and seen the middle class, the professionals, the entrepreneurs, and the young women studying medicine and engineering.
Prominent Indian Muslims — from business (Wipro’s Azim Premji built one of India’s largest companies), to cinema (generations of stars and directors), to sports, academia, and medicine — show what is possible when talent meets opportunity in a free society. Millions of ordinary Muslim families have moved from villages to cities, from informal work to formal jobs, from one generation of limited schooling to the next pursuing professional degrees. That is prosperity in motion, not persecution.
We enjoy specific rights and accommodations that Hindus as a group do not. This is the part Omar and her echo chamber never mention. Indian Muslims operate under a parallel personal law system for marriage, divorce, inheritance, and maintenance rooted in Sharia. Hindus do not.
After independence, Hindu personal law was comprehensively reformed and codified into a uniform framework (Hindu Marriage Act, Hindu Succession Act, etc.). Muslims retained the right to follow their own religious laws — including provisions for polygamy (up to four wives) and differential inheritance rules that the Hindu majority surrendered decades ago.
We also have constitutional minority protections under Articles 29 and 30 that allow us to establish and administer our own educational institutions with significant autonomy — rights the Hindu majority does not claim as a group because it is not classified as a minority. The Waqf Act gives Muslim institutions unique control over vast religious and charitable properties in a manner unparalleled for any other community.
In short: the Indian state has gone out of its way, through personal laws and minority safeguards, to preserve and accommodate Muslim religious and cultural identity in ways it has not extended equivalently to the Hindu majority. These are not “equal rights” in every narrow sense — they are deliberate accommodations that give us more space to live according to our traditions than the majority community receives under the same Constitution.
As a woman from Muslim heritage in India, I have the full protection of the Indian Constitution plus the framework of personal law. The criminalization of instant triple talaq in 2019 removed a specific vulnerability that existed under uncodified practice. I can study, work, vote, travel, criticize the government, wear what I choose (or not), and practice my faith openly — all while living in a country where my community’s population share has steadily risen for 75 years.
@Ilhan Omar’s “eighth stage of genocide” rhetoric is not solidarity. It is the lazy export of American culture-war talking points onto a country and a people she does not understand. It erases the agency of 200+ million Indian Muslims who are neither cowering nor waiting for rescue from Washington. It cheapens the word “genocide” while real atrocities happen elsewhere.
Stop peddling foreign fantasies about our lives. We are here. We are visible. We are voting. We are building. And we reject your narrative with the facts of our own existence. That is the view from inside — not from a podium in the United States.
Thank you Arshia ji for such a rightful rejection of all things hon @Ilhan is paid to say or mandated to do per the book of instructions of the ‘woke army’!
What’s equally important is whether the Indian Americans in the U.S. Congress will have the guts and courage to stand up for their vile Democrat colleague or will they all pussy foot the party line ! What say you @RoKhanna@PramilaJayapal@CongressmanRaja@RepBera
- 74 lashes in public

Iranian singer Parastoo Ahmadi & 8 other members performing with her have been punished for singing without Hijab.
This is what Islam is all about --- not peace, not architecture or music!!
My go to YouTube channel these days for unbiased neutral perspectives has been @KizhakkuNews@bseshadri sir
Too early and really scared to say this though… Because whichever media person I have trusted to be neutral, has eventually become a paid propagandist.
Hope you remain like this, engaging on merit, agreeing to disagree and being firm on your perspectives irrespective of alliance math.
Socialists propose to redistribute the wealth because they're unable to create it.
So naturally, they want what is rightfully Elons.
Gross.
Control your spending and use a budget. 💯
Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this 2 hour hour Stanford lecture will teach you more about how LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude are built than most people working at top AI companies learn in their entire careers.
