Sorry to have to repeat this again:
Free Speech is ALL speech.
Even the speech that you find repugnant. You are either for ALL of it or...
you are for none of it.
We don’t need people deciding FOR us what to think, see or hear.
That’s a load of totalitarian crap.
My grandfather Munshi Premchand, a Kayastha Hindu, learnt Urdu from Maulvi saheb. He became the greatest Urdu-Hindi writer of all time.
What has language got to do with religion?

Twitter doesn't belong to your papa. People will write what they want to write.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: our obsession with Pakistan is embarrassing. The Indian media doesn’t look beyond Pakistan when there is so much more to India’s foreign policy; even our election campaigns are dominated by rhetoric on Pakistan.1/n
Hey @BBCWorld .. each time you call #kashmir ‘Indian Occupied Kashmir’ I keep wondering why you refuse to call Northern Ireland ‘British Occupied Ireland’ ?

- this one touched me.
2010, I was traveling with my toddler son. Had forgotten to carry milk. I asked CCD to fill a bottle for me, charge me for 2 coffees. They refused to bill it. RIP #VGSiddhartha, your brand will live long.
Happy Birthday MSD. You did the impossible to me. You brought my introvert ass on the streets in the middle of the night to celebrate with thousands of others. Twice.

Unpopular opinion on Twitter, but here's what I found in my travel across Jharkhand and UP. People are always not voting for Modi because they are rabid right-wingers, fans of nationalism etc. Many are voting simply because their lives are better off now. (Thread)
Not at all sir, I would be truly happy if no one goes hungry in India, no farm suicides, jobs are plentiful.. and yes, if you attended/spoke in parliament a little more often!😄👍🙏
Shivraj Singh Chouhan may be defeated anytime now, but have to say this about him. The newspaper I edit from Bhopal has been very critical of him and his policies. He never hit back. In any other state perhaps I would have lost my job. #Elections2018
I can vividly remember when young Uday Kotak-a freshly minted MBA-started his company out of a single room in downtown Mumbai. What an inspiring story of entrepreneurship & creation of wealth in the RIGHT way. So proud of you Uday! https://t.co/hFs6niZPHJ
