“Jauhar” was a lot of things but, it certainly wasn’t a “cowardly act” Swara Bhaskar is wrong here that much I can say as a student of history. You can debate mass immolation but, you can’t call it cowardice that’s just being malicious

@entpsnisha @ndtv So where exactly does “10.02% → 3.2% = ¼ of Haryana and ⅓ of Punjab” come from? Please share the NITI Aayog table/page. The numbers don't support that claim.

[Manish Mishra @minkugkp]

@entpsnisha @ndtv Let's do the homework with the actual numbers. 📊

Real GSDP growth in 2016-17:
UP: 10.9%
Haryana: 10.5%
Punjab: ~5.9%

By 2023-24:
UP: ~9.2%
Haryana: ~8.0%
Punjab: ~6.1%

And NITI Aayog's own UP report says UP's real GSDP averaged 5.3% growth in 2012-13 to 2021-22.

The fuck is “Manuvadi”? Who lives by Manu today? Who has in the last thousand years?

MS wants you to wash your butt three times with clay after taking a dump. Know anyone who does that?

MS does not consider you a Brahmin if you haven’t studied the Vedas. Know any Brahmin who has read a single mandala of a single samhita?

MS forbids you from eating until all your guests INCLUDING servants have eaten. How many households do you know of that feed their servants before feeding themselves?

For adultery, MS condemns you to be fed to dogs if woman and burned to death if man. Find me one instance of this being done in the entire history of India.

MS says a shit ton of good things and another shit ton of bad things. But if nobody’s following those, nobody’s reading those, nobody’s even aware of those, the fuck is even the point?

It was composed 2,000 years ago for fuck’s sake! How many works from that period pass your morality test?

Then who exactly are you calling “Manuvadi”? Or is it just one of those convenient strawmen you invented because it makes politics that much easier for you?

Pathetic.

Desperate.

Boring.

पैरों में जंजीर बांधने के बाद भी मीणा जी ST में 4.5% होने के बावजूद 48% सीट लेकर बैठे हैं!

मतलब ये कैसी जंजीर कि आबादी से 10 गुना प्रतिनिधित्व लेकर बैठे हो?

हमको भी चाहिए ऐसी जंजीर!!😂😂

If you genuinely want to do something meaningful for the Marathi language, Mr. Chief Minister, why not start by improving the basic infrastructure and quality of government schools in Maharashtra’s villages?

That would strengthen Marathi at its roots by giving children better education and ensuring that the language remains a living, aspirational part of their future.

But we understand. That requires vision, investment and hard work.

Showing political power over poor Indian migrants is much easier, isn’t it?

Protecting Marathi should mean empowering Maharashtrians, not intimidating fellow Indians.

[Hardik Rajgor @Hardism]

Why should only rickshaw-wallas learn Marathi?

Mumbai has Parsi colonies, Jain societies, Gujarati areas, Muslim areas, Tam-Brahm population... where I can promise you, a lot of people can't speak Marathi to save their life.

Migrants also work in corporate houses, banks, media, start-ups etc. Mumbai is a financial magnet and people from all over the country come here for work. Is Marathi not equally important for them as it is for UP-Bihar migrants?

You think these language warriors can walk into a Big-4 and round up senior managers / directors, and throw them out if they fail to speak Marathi?

Hushyari is always shown against the gareeb, because he can't fight back.

They will thrash rickshaw-wallahs in public, and no one will bat an eye. They will throw stones at their vehicles and cause huge damages but no one will file a case. They collect hafta from them, humiliate them, but they still keep at it for their families.

If they took panga with the rich in Mumbai, cases will be filed, political funding could get hampered, vote banks will be affected. So they show their might and dadagiri against the weak.

In a country where jobs are scarce, driving a rickshaw is one job where you just need an able body and a license. Language has never been a barrier either for the driver or the commuter to get from point A to B in Mumbai. I have lived all my life in this city.

But to create a made-up barrier out of nowhere and deny people jobs in a job scarce country, is exactly the kind of stupid and moronic thinking that could only come out of India.

May bhagwan give us some sadbuddhi.

जिस तरह का investment बॉम्बे में है उसी तरह NCR में करने की जरूरत है । North के सभी स्टेट इस मुद्दे पर एक साथ आयें और केंद्र को मजबूर करे इसके लिए। बॉम्बे जाने की जरूरत ही नहीं होनी चाहिए। महाराष्ट्र के सुदूर इलाके के लोग भी हिंदी समझते हैं । लेकिन वहाँ की सरकार और संगठन जान बुझ कर दूसरे राज्यों के लोगों को परेशान करने के लिए यह तमाशा करती है । उत्तर भारत के सभी राज्य जब तक एक साथ नहीं आयेंगे तब तक उत्तर को अपमानित होते रहना होगा ।

School children were stranded for hours in Gurugram yesterday.
I hope PM Modi forgives them.

One can agree or disagree with need for reforms wrt Reservations but the way the government and police are treating those who are peacefully protesting and filing cases is a matter of absolute shame.
What a fall ... these are our people !

[True Indology @TrueIndology]

70% of the freedom fighters executed by the British were Brahmins.

They sacrificed their lives for the country. But what exactly did their sacrifice achieve?

Today their children and grandchildren are discriminated against by the Government. They are labelled as "oppressors" and systematically barred from education and jobs.

Is this how a country should honor those who gave up their lives for her?

Rajiv Gandhi in his Mandal speech had talked about language chauvinism in southern states.

Mohan Bhagwat and Devendra Fadnavis should read it.

Don't sell Akhand Bharat churan to North Indians while you discriminate against us based on language.

I was just in Mumbai, and I have to give them credit for the progress they’re making on infrastructure. The new Aqua Line metro is phenomenal. But the amount of work India still has to do on basic cleanliness and sanitation and it is hard to understand until you see it yourself. Would love for more westerners to go just to understand how wealthy they are, but that's a different point.

Mumbai is completely surrounded by water, yet there are almost no places where people can actually enjoy the water. The beaches are filled with trash, the water is badly contaminated, and almost nobody swims, even when it’s brutally hot outside. Walking on the beach is just mud and trash meeting filthy water on the horizon.

There are much poorer places around the world where people can still use the beaches. This is not just about money. India has gone decades without adequate trash collection, sewage treatment, or enforcement for a population of more than a billion people. At this point, the scale of the problem feels almost impossible, and the oceans around the world are paying the price for Indias garbage output as well.

I like the direction Modi is taking the country, but India needs to treat cleanup like a national emergency. Stop with the small campaigns and organize a full scale blitz.

Offer unemployed people paid work picking up trash, clearing drains and waterways, cleaning beaches, and maintaining public spaces. Give them proper equipment and supervision. Then build the collection and waste processing systems needed to stop everything from becoming filthy again a week later.

India has shown that it can build metros, airports, highways, and digital infrastructure. Clean streets and usable water should be treated as infrastructure too.

Mumbai should have one of the greatest waterfronts in the world. Instead, it's has basically an irrelevant feature of the city and feels surrendered to sewage and garbage.

[Arminius @Cloon_ey1]

If Brahmins in UP just sit at home during elections Bjp will lose the state.

They don't even need to vote for SP to defeat Bjp. That's the power of just Brahmin votes in India's biggest state.

Realize your strength. Make Bjp bend to your demands.
