Asim Munir is riding his current proximity to US president @realDonaldTrump to kill Kashmiris in Pakistan occupied Kashmir and civilians in Afghanistan.

Ppl India think he will get adventurous to do something in India itself. There will be consequences for that.

Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK)

Shaukat Nawaz Mir, Top Leader of PoK based Joint Awami Action Comittee : "Orders have been issued open direct fire at the members of J&K Awami Action committee wherever they are seen.”

Pakistan Army wants to kill civilians and Kashmiris in PoK.

How did the Macaulay mindset harm India?

How did Max Mueller misrepresent our Vedas?

How misinterpreted theories rewrote India’s past?

Watch the episode on @DDNewslive where we bust the myth called the Aryan Invasion theory and discuss the brainwashing of generations of Indians by the British colonial invaders.

Shocking old footage from Tibet

CCP forces brut@lly beating& dragging monks out of their monasteries for practicing their Buddhist faith. This is the systematic erasure of Tibetan religion & culture that continues today. Why is the world silent on this? @TibetPeople @BAFoTTibet

Is HAF really an unregistered foreign agent for the government of India? No.

And yet, HAF's Wikipedia page has stated or implied exactly that, despite the fact that HAF has never been charged under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) and is not under an active DOJ investigation as the page suggests.
In the latest episode of HAF Reacts, Samir Kalra, Raj Rao, and Mat McDermott unpack how FARA allegations have been used to cast suspicion on Hindu American advocacy efforts, how misleading claims can become entrenched online, and why it matters when one of the world's most influential information platforms, one that presents itself as a neutral, crowdsourced source of knowledge, publishes information that is demonstrably false.

[Mahesh Jethmalani @JethmalaniM]

PM Narendra Modi did not inherit a launchpad. He inherited the burden of delayed decisions, weak infrastructure, policy paralysis, broken confidence and a country that had forgotten how to think big.

Since Independence, under multiple Congress governments, India crawled to a $2 trillion economy.

PM Modi’s 12 years: India has crossed $4 trillion. In 12 years, India has moved from hesitation to acceleration. From UPI to ports, from digital infrastructure to defence production, a new India has been unleashed.

And that is a political chargesheet against Congress.

For decades, Congress sold India poverty management as governance, entitlement as economics, and slow growth as destiny. Then they have the audacity to compare India with China, after wasting decades when China was building factories, ports, highways, scale and national ambition.

The China comparison is useless unless Congress first answers one question:

What exactly were you doing for 67 years?

Congress mocked ambition because it never had any.

@narendramodi converted ambition into national policy.

That is the difference.

Update: HAF Wikipedia activity—

The Wikipedia talk page today shows exactly the game we’ve been talking about:

1) Editors blocking any attempts to update the page,
2) Falling back on their citation loop
3) Calling anyone who disagree with them dangerous Hindutva fascists.
4) Preserve the lies

Folks have reached out to us over the years of how they have tried and the current talk pages are showing in real time what they have faced.

There's a pattern and it reflects a captured platform -- even seasoned editors find their efforts to add balance to entries related to India and Hinduism overwritten, denied or erased by a small cadre of ideologue editors with unchecked editorial powers.

Wikipedia is often the first thing people see when they look you up. And because it markets itself as a neutral, crowdsourced source of knowledge, most people assume what's written there is factual, balanced, and trustworthy.
But reality is far from it. The recent NPOV investigation raised serious questions about how a small group of anonymous editors helped shape perceptions of HAF for years—while basic facts remained wrong and disputed labels remained in place.

That's the power of public perception. When something appears on Wikipedia, people don't just read it; they believe it.
And that's exactly why getting the story right matters.
Watch this clip from HAF Reacts as our team discusses what happens when a public narrative takes on a life of its own 👉 https://t.co/LnBWvnMdQA

[NPOV @npovmedia]

🚨NEW INVESTIGATION: A Fortune 500 company reportedly cancelled a @HinduAmerican training session after employees circulated its Wikipedia page.

That page tells readers HAF aligns with Hindu nationalism, threatens academic freedom, and has been accused of acting as a foreign agent.

We traced who built that narrative. The same handful of accounts kept appearing across HAF, its critics, activist groups, and key public figures—building an interconnected narrative that now feeds Google and AI systems.

Full investigation in thread. Receipts 👇

[Suhag A. Shukla @SuhagAShukla]

The @npovmedia investigation found that the @HinduAmerican @Wikipediapage is being vandalized by 4 editors and 1 super editor—one of whom who created & manages Audrey Truschke’s Wiki page, and one with disclosed ties to Hindus for Human Rights.

Think of the unethical, devious and brutal aspects of this tactic. They will stop at nothing to try and discredit & cancel a 22 year old Hindu American advocacy voice in this country.

This fight will only make us stronger. We have our community with us.

[Ashley Rindsberg @AshleyRindsberg]

For years, major institutions have framed India and Hindus through the lens of nationalism, extremism, and suspicion. But what we've uncovered on @Wikipedia raises a deeper question: who gets to write the public record?

Our investigation found that a small cluster of anonymous editors controlled more than 80% of the @HinduAmerican page. Among the findings:

Blatant Conflict of Interest: The editors aggressively shaping HAF’s page were the exact same people controlling the Wikipedia profiles of HAF's legal adversaries and academic critics.

Inserting False FARA Allegations: Editors laundered complaints from HAF's opponents into "facts," using demands for a DOJ investigation to falsely brand HAF as a foreign agent

Administrative Silencing: An admin with supreme platform permissions deleted quotes from HAF's leadership, stripping the organization of its right to reply to allegations.

Over four years (2021-2025), editors systematically erased HAF’s identity as an American civil rights group, transforming its Wikipedia page into a heavily curated dossier of accusations. Our report from @npovmedia documents how it happened. 👇

[Suhag A. Shukla @SuhagAShukla]

It was an inside job!

We’ve watched our @Wikipedia page completely defaced & vandalized for 5 years that rendered @HinduAmerican unrecognizable.

This investigation by @AshleyRindsberg @npovmedia blows the cover off of what appears to be a concerted attack on HAF by a cabal of 4 editors—two of whom are apparently tied to Audrey Truschke & the fringe group, Hindus for Human Rights.

Trangabellam, Kautilya3, Lightex and Shainshah121 are responsible for 80% of the entire content of the HAF wiki page. Who are they?

✅Trangabellam created, protected & shaped Audrey Truschke’s Wikipedia page while they defaced HAF’s with unsubstantiated slurs.

✅Lightex actually disclosed “past work with “Hindus for Human Rights,” created that group’s wiki page (against wiki’s own rules) & then attacked HAF’s wiki page changing the lead to cast HAF as a “far-right nationalist organization.”

✅ Shahinshah121 added false allegations that HAF is “Hindutva” & “under investigation by the DOJ for acting as a foreign agent” while promoting Truschke’s “South Asian Scholars Collective” within hours of it being formed.

✅ Kautilya3, the 2nd most active editor of the HAF page, erased all information that provided an HAF perspective to allegations, including that “HAF has absolutely no links” to various foreign orgs. He then added the line that “HAF repackaged the Hindu nationalist agenda in the language of ‘Hindu rights’ to suit mainstream American politics.”

So I know many will ask, “Why are you crying about this on twitter—do something about it.”

Well, read the full article and see how one of Wikipedia’s 32 most powerful editors, Vanamonde93 blocked attempts to balance the HAF Wiki page and actually defaced it further.

Watch the video below and read the full article. If this can happen to the oldest and most respected Hindu American organization in the United States, who else is in the crosshairs? Who’s next?

If we are genuinely interested, Twitter can become an extraordinary place to learn about Hinduism — without spending even a single rupee. All that is needed is the curiosity and willingness to learn.

There are several handles that I personally follow on Twitter. They are not affiliated with any political party, and their posts are an excellent source of authentic learning.

What I appreciate most is that they do not exaggerate or indulge in sensationalism. They stay focused on the subject, present facts clearly, and support their points with credible references.

Many doubts mine were clarified through their tweets.

Quietly and without seeking publicity, these individuals are rendering a remarkable service to Hinduism through knowledge-sharing and sincere scholarship.

I am sharing below ten of those handles which you may follow to enrich your understanding.

The Pashupati Seal. From Mohanjo-Daro.

Nearly 4,500 years old.
For a century, it refused to speak to us.

Then I came across the work of Dr. Rao (@yajnadevam).
During the COVID lockdown, this Indian computer scientist used cryptography to read what generations of scholars could not.

He compared it to the Mahabharat. Found 7 distinct alignments.

His conclusion: an ancient prayer to Lord Shiva, carved into a seal.

Our ancestors didn't just build cities. They recorded devotion.

The British often called it "mythology". But what if it's simply history told in a script we forgot to read?
