@sandeep_PT Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Thailand too made it before China with democracy, earlier & with less suffering than in Chinese model. No South Asian could achieve the same.

@MahaguruSPP @WokePandemic It is amusing to note that powerful Indian government could not counter NGOs in narrative. Why the decision on farm law was not left to states?
I read part of the draft. It stipulated a government officer to be the final authority, no recourse to courts, in case of dispute!

@mehtahansal Courts should absolve the comedian if it understands democracy and freedom of speech as practiced in any mature democracy. However vandalism cannot be pardoned. Kangana is not likely to understand this.

@Lolflix_ @rohini_sgh @zoo_bear @ReallySwara Though India’s global rank in freedom of speech has gone downhill in 10 years, it has not reached that low as in Palestine. Credit goes to brave people like Swara, our constitution and higher judiciary (with some exceptions).

@naughtyat70 Your language shows your class. We are Indians, more than Hindus or ... We have brains to evaluate Alt News work & you. Many have problem in someone exposing fake news, hate speech, sycophancy. Counter Alt news content logically with examples instead of just abusing & inciting.

The opposition should unite & defeat this terrible bill in the Rajya Sabha even if it can’t stop it in the Lok Sabha.
It’s a dangerous piece of legislation

@prettypadmaja @dmuthuk If true, it means religious fanatics are bigger hurdle to development than corrupt politicians

[Ram Dargad @ramdargad]

@DiagonallyYours @dmuthuk Pl give numbers & compare with national average if not with UP, MP. Compare debt/ GDP ratio, not debt. NITI Ayog used to compare all states every year for all development parameters. Has it been stopped?

[Ram Dargad @ramdargad]

@nramind Heavy rain was predicted allover Kerala. CM said that the forecasts issued by IMD, the Geological Survey of India (responsible for issuing alerts related to landslides), and the Central Water Commission (responsible for issuing alerts on river-related floods) were off the mark.

[Ram Dargad @ramdargad]

@pallavict @dmuthuk Calling someone "against India" (for his being against BJP) is calling him "anti national", a serious abuse. You do not seem to understand this.

[Ram Dargad @ramdargad]

@SCK_840 @iArpitSpeaks @RahulGandhi Do you know that India's global rank in freedom of speech & democracy has been sliding rapidly in recent years? Do you know the reasons? Intentions leak much before official release of draft.

[Ram Dargad @ramdargad]

@hetalgoswami2 @zoo_bear Southern states have progressed much faster than Hindi belt, not just industrially but also in human development- literacy, life expectancy, gender equality etc. There are good reasons, bhakts won’t understand.

Sawan started on 22 july.

22, 23 , 24, 25, 25, 26 and 27 july(today it's 7th day).
(23 more days are left of Sawan)

And 5 major attacks on innocent citizens have been done in just 7 days.

1- Muzaffarnagar, UP
2- Saharanpur, UP
3- Roorkee, Uttarakhand
4- Meerut, UP
5- Ghaziabad, UP

BJP govt forgave them in every case, and made forceful agreement between attackers and victims.

I think the bjp govt should assume that this mob is wearing
"White kurta and payjama"
This will make them angry and they will be able to take strict actions.

[Ram Dargad @ramdargad]

@RealMaxtern That is only one part. The other is that it is easy to make one's case when truth is on his/her side. Else one struggles.

[Ram Dargad @ramdargad]

@stackcook @dmuthuk Yes, compare GDP growth rate, income poverty reduction rate, job participation rate, financial inequality index. Do not get misled by propaganda on WhatsApp.

@catale7a She needs an exposure to a few mature democracies.

[Ram Dargad @ramdargad]

@_Jaunpuria @zoo_bear @smitaprakash There is enough to speak on Indian incidents. He has no time to cover everything in this vast world. Everyone has to prioritise & focus on most relevant. You can work on Haj.

@CROW_KA_BIRYANI @RoshanKrRaii May be. Bhagat Singh was a leftist Marxist, an atheist who rejected all religions, including Hindutva.
