Americans are going to regret this statement so badly one day.
JD Vance says:
“I have joked that I have two very, very important people in my life. An Indian and a Pakistani. The Indian is my wife, and the Pakistani is Field Marshal Munir.”
RED ROAD. THEN AND NOW. A PRAYER MAT ACCOMMODATES A FAITH. A YOGA MAT ACCOMODATES A NATION.
Till a few months ago the Red Road in Kolkata would routinely turn into a giant metaphorical prayer mat. Blocked for hours because the state was performing a sashtanga pranam at the altar of appeasement. Today, that same state has placed the guiding light of Yoga on the mat. This isn't about Hindu and Muslim. This is about breathing in equity, inclusiveness. A prayer mat belongs to only those who pray upon it. A yoga mat has place for any posture willing to step on it.
Not a justification but I don’t think @RahulGandhi appreciates such gesture! @KellyofArrakis and we should stand by what he stands for. Not this. Not paper ads.
Ek Chizz ab yeh change huyi hai Congressiyon mai, ki ab unhone Justification dena chodh diya hai, Largely RR karna bhi chodh diya hai
They are no longer defensive on how they express thier affection towards thier leader
And I think thats very profound and Liberating
Tomorrow, everyone will share joyful pictures and birthday wishes.
But in the video below from 6 years ago, I see a man who looked broken beyond words. Tired, shattered, wounded, helpless, lonely, emotionally drained, deeply hurt, almost hopeless, yet still somehow standing.
I want to tell something to that man. I want to tell him that we may not have won yet but we have come so far.
We are almost there, and it is because you held on and stood firm.
Today, when I watch this again after 6 years and see who you have become, I feel proud of how you rose above those times and stood for all of us.
I have no words. I am just emotional.
Happy Birthday Rahul Bhaiya .
आकांक्षा आज हमारे बीच नहीं है, उसने खुदकुशी कर ली।
वो डॉक्टर बनना चाहती थी। उसके पिता ने कर्ज लेकर उसे पढ़ाया, लेकिन NEET का पेपर लीक हो गया।
आकांक्षा ने अपनी चिट्ठी में लिखा है- 'सॉरी मम्मी-पापा, मैंने आप लोगों का सब बर्बाद कर दिया'
लेकिन सच्चाई ये है कि इसमें आकांक्षा की नहीं, देश के एजुकेशन सिस्टम की गलती है।
इसलिए हमें साथ मिलकर काम करना होगा। हमें ये तय करना होगा कि देश का कोई भी स्टूडेंट कभी ऐसी सिचुएशन में न आए कि वो अपनी जान देने की बात सोचे।

अमेरिकी हमलों में तीन भारतीय नाविकों की हत्या के चंद दिन बाद - न अफ़सोस, न माफ़ी। उल्टा, अमेरिका ने आदेश देना जारी रखा ह��।
उनके शब्द पढ़िए: “अमेरिकी सेना के आदेश तुरंत मानें।” कोई उल्लंघन “बर्दाश्त नहीं किया जाएगा।”
एक आज़ाद ��ेश इस तरह की भाषा कभी नहीं सहेगा। लेकिन हमारे Compromised PM? चुप। एक आज्ञाकारी नौकर की तरह सुनते हैं, और आदेश मान लेते हैं।
Compromised PM देश के सम्मान की रक्षा नहीं करेगा - क्योंकि जो देश का अपमान करते हैं, वो उन्हीं के वश में हैं।
Can you imagine FIFA threatening the host country over potential visa rejections?
It happened in 1966.
The UK govt considered refusing visas to the North Korean team.
But FIFA put its foot down, and said the world cup would take place elsewhere if something like that happened.
Cut to 2026: a referee from Somalia who was set to officiate in the world cup has been sent back.
The Iranian football team has moved its training base to Mexico because of visa issues.
But the chief of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, continues to suck up to Donald Trump.
The bottom line is: whether it's America under Trump or India under Modi, countries with supremacist governments shouldn't host global sporting tournaments.
It ends up making headlines for all the wrong reasons.
Anyone not supporting Congress and not voting Congress after 2024 is an anti-national and Sanghi.
No ifs and buts.
Voting Congress is a national duty now.
No bullshit of opposition unity. It's Congress.
@Ram_Guha exposes himself with this tweet. Congress doubled it's tally from 2019-2024! Also he thinks that Cong’s debacle is only because of #RG & not because of capturing of the institutions, polarisation and complete surrender of media! Sahi hai ja rahe hain 😁
Dear @ShashiTharoor , I enjoyed your spirited defence of Rahul Gandhi. Alas, it does not address the central thesis of my column and interview—his dismal leadership record. The facts speak for themselves.The Congress suffered heavy defeats in three successive General Elections fought under his leadership. Meanwhile, the number of Congress MLAs has come down by almost 50% under his watch.
In 2013, the Congress was in power in 14 states. That was the party Rahul Gandhi inherited. Now the Congress is in power in just 5 states. As the countrywide footprint of the party shrinks, surely its principal leader should be held accountable? Or is that a question too uncomfortable for the Congress to face?
@sheela2010@Ram_Guha@RahulGandhi Having opinions on Ram Guha’s columns and expressing them isn’t intolerance. FoE isn’t a one way street. Intolerance would be if cases under NSA would be filed by Congress ruled states against Mr Guha.
I think it’s disrespectful to Congress to compare its protests with anyone but itself. Also unfair to the kids who braved the Indian summer for their rally.
Writing this without an iota of hate of ill-will toward @Ram_Guha , @HartoshSinghBal , Harish Khare, @tavleen_singh@waglenikhil and many other Gandhi family baiters who have repeatedly targeted Rahul Gandhi and his politics of opposition to the Modi led BJP. I now understand that most of you are still fighting the @INCIndia of 1975 and 1984 among others just as the Sangh is fighting the Congress of Gandhi and Nehru. Much of legacy media and social media are dominated by these two groups. But here's a third group which became politicised in 1992 with the rise of Hindutva- the pro- Rahul Gandhi voice on social media is roughly this group of Gen X ers and a motley mix of a new millennials and GenX.
We are disturbed by the repeated attacks on Rahul Gandhi not because we are members of the Congress party or are blind followers of any cult- we are disturbed because the anti-Congressism of the earlier groups is blinding most toward the clear and present danger that stares before us - the existential threat to our Republic. Rahul Gandhi is among the very few of our politicians who has been able to consistently articulate that danger by his fearless attacks on the Sangh and its agenda of destroying the secular fabric of this country. He might never become Prime Minister of this country - but history will be kinder towards him than many of you would like to believe.
इतना कुछ होने के बाद इतनी पार्टियों को खत्म होने और टूटते देखने के बाद भी
अगर कोई पार्टी BJP की जगह कांग्रेस पर निशाना साध रही है मोदी की जगह राहुल गांधी पर हमला कर रही है तो बीजेपी के साथ ही मानी जाए...
पता नहीं इन लोगों को कब समझ आएगा कि कांग्रेस से लड़ना आसान है और बीजेपी ��े बहुत मुश्किल है।
ऐसा लग रहा है कि आम आदमी पार्टी के 7 सांसद बीजेपी ने नहीं बल्कि कांग्रेस ने तोड़े हैं...
@thispodcastguy It is true. With Noida channels I can understand but what I fail to understand is why independent journalists also don’t bother to see what the opposition does- and that involves all opposition parties- and then give gyaan like ‘they should be on the streets’!
Why data has been kept cheap in India.
12 years, and the one opposition leader the Sangh couldn't tame is Rahul Gandhi.
Every other leader has a file- documented, recorded, kept for the day they speak out of turn. Mayawati, Pawar, Kejriwal, Kamal Nath, Lalu, Raj... each one on a leash.
With Rahul, they tried everything. National Herald, endless ED summons, 50 hours of questioning. None of it silenced him.
He remains the only one who can speak without fear. And does.
Yet, he is still not the obvious choice to lead the country. The reason is years of relentless misinformation and propaganda. His privileged background, his foreign travels, his clothes, even his polite demeanour... all of it twisted to build one perception - that he isn't mature or experienced enough.
The man they couldn't silence, they chose to caricature instead.
And the caricature works best on the young. A lot of first-time voters who are raised on a diet of online content, fed this propaganda day in and day out, before they ever formed their own view, have swallowed it whole. No critical analysis, no checking of facts. They inherited an opinion and mistook it for their own.
The new generation of andh bhakts armed with WiFi.
