Highly Important.
I have been able to infiltrate a planned TOOLKIT, and it's extremely shocking to see the detailed planning and information about helpers.
I request you all to share it maximum.
Let's start to expose.👇
Excellent, short explainer by @RicchaDwivedi on why the FCRA Amendment Bill, which seeks to outlaw foreign money meant for conversions, has cast a stone in the beehive.
Do watch.
The same people who keep complaining that remote Indian regions remain underdeveloped suddenly become full-time environmental absolutists the moment India tries to build something strategic.
Great Nicobar is not some random vanity project. NITI Aayog itself said its development is crucial for leveraging India’s strategic presence near the Strait of Malacca, and the government has identified Galathea Bay for an international container transshipment terminal to turn it into a major shipping hub.
You cannot spend years mocking the state for neglecting frontier regions and then act shocked when the state finally moves to build serious infrastructure there.
And this moral posturing from Congress is especially rich. The Hasdeo record alone is enough to expose the hypocrisy. The Indian Express reported that mining there renewed after then Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot met then Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel in March 2022 because Rajasthan needed coal, and both states were ruled by Congress at the time.
The same reporting notes that Congress later changed its line and began protesting the very tree-felling it had earlier enabled or failed to stop. So spare the sudden sermon about forests from people whose own record on tree-felling has been conveniently selective.
What makes the politics even stranger is that Great Nicobar is tiny in population. Official island statistics put its 2011 population at just 8,046, which means this is hardly some giant electoral jackpot for Rahul Gandhi to defend.
What is obvious, however, is the strategic upside for India. Reuters recently described the Strait of Malacca as the world’s busiest maritime trade route and said China relies on it for 75% of its crude oil imports. So from a geopolitical standpoint, stronger Indian reach in Great Nicobar is far more likely to worry Beijing than ordinary Indians.
That is why this outrage feels less like love for islanders and more like reflex obstruction of any project that expands India’s strategic leverage.
Bollywood's Pakistan Love Affair: Kiss the Enemy, Erase the Hate — Until Dhurandhar Exposed It
Shahrukh Khan: "We sacrificed ourselves to protect the life of the enemy."
Salman Khan: "Friends, how to die for the enemy — this time we'll show you the way."
Saif Ali Khan: "Get high on love, become devoted, and hug the enemy."
"So, sir, this is the real way: deal with the enemy with gentleness and love. No matter how many times they attack you, we should always love them.
"This is the only way to win the enemy's heart — by folding hands before them, showing love, and maybe giving a kiss or two to end terrorism. So come, friends, let's erase this hate from today and embrace the enemy.
"I've realized Dhurandhar is getting all the hate not because it's BJP propaganda as some claim but because it disrupts a narrative Bollywood has carefully sustained for years.
"For example Sikhs who are historically warriors have been reduced to comic relief - loud, harmless and unintimidating. That image was convenient. But when a film shows a Sikh as a precise, fearless executor, who takes down top terrorists and criminals, it breaks that conditioning, and that makes people uncomfortable.
"And this isn't new. South Indians have always been caricatured as dark, unattractive and comical, subtly shaping perception so that even today many in the north casually label all South Indians as Madrasi. This isn't accidental. It keeps a psychological distance, ensuring the north doesn't fully see the south as its own keeping that barrier intact.
"Similarly, Hindu characters in many films are shown as passive or timid, rarely decisive, rarely assertive when it comes to conflict. And of course there is another familiar template missing here. No glamorous ISI agent teaming up with a RAW hero. No distraction of romance and song. No dancing in a two piece while fighting terrorism. Just a clear grounded narrative without the usual dilution.
"Dhurandhar flips that script. The character inspired by Ajit Doval performs a havan before taking revenge on Zahoor Mistry. A man who calls Hindus a "darpok kaum". In that moment faith, strength and retaliation are no longer shown as contradictions. They coexist and this is exactly what they have a problem with.
"Adding to that, terror masterminds are not glorified or humanized but hunted down with clarity and intent. The protagonist isn't apologetic.
"That's the real reason for this backlash. Dhurandhar doesn't fit into the box as people are used to. It breaks stereotypes and that's exactly why it's a problem for them.
"But the box office records speaks for itself. There was a time when 'great' filmmakers called Indian audience stupid but Dhurandhar proves that Indian audience cannot be fooled anymore. An enemy is an enemy. And that's why I call Aditya Dhar Sher-E-Bollywood."
GenZ Bengali after watching Dhurandhar2:
"Modi Modi, Jai Modi"
"Jai Shri Ram"
"All these happening because of Modi"
"Bharat Mata ki Jai"
"They ask what Modi has changed, movie has shown what Modi has changed through demonetisation"
This is from Navina Cinema, near Tollygunge Phari in South Kolkata.
If all it takes to dismember and destroy you is people RTing old news tweets from your era, imagine the fragility of what you built over 60 years. Congress was, is and will always remain an enemy of Indian people and India's interests. May the memory keepers keep humbling them.
