"I'm terrified at the moral apathy, the death of the heart, which is happening in my country. These people have deluded themselves for so long that they really don't think I'm human... And this means that they have become, in themselves, moral monsters."
Imperialism. The reason you are struggling is imperialism. The reason the climate is collapsing is imperialism. The reason we get war after war is imperialism. I cannot take your political opinions seriously if ending imperialism isn't your number one priority.
let me Remind Sikhs of Delhi and Mr @hskalk ; It’s not new even after attack the on Darbar Sahib in 1984 So-called intellectual and political class of Sikhs in Delhi had wrote in favour of the attack. It was only after the carnage of November84. They wake up from the deep sleep.
ThePrint & @ShekharGupta#Satluj: National threat, warns the film risks rekindling anger & distrust in Punjab, called it Jatt politics .
Vs
Kashmir Files: Affirmed Kashmiri Pandits’ brutal ethnic cleansing/exodus as a major national tragedy & state failure.
Exactly. If the truth and reconciliation process had been completed, we would not be asking these questions.
The absence of data is not an error; rather, it is policy.
During your tenure as Editor of @IndianExpress we had witnessed how you tried had portrayed Panjab in bad light. Majority can share all kinds of propaganda, but minority, can’t even show the truth?
Even if Bhai Khalra or infact any other Sikh/Punjabi demanded Khalistan, extra judicial killings was not the answer.
Police/State should follow the law of the land.
THAT IS IT.
Bhagat Singh’s assassination of Saunders is widely commemorated in India as part of the anti-colonial struggle.
In post-Partition India, political assassinations are often interpreted differently by sections of the majority community, depending on the narrative surrounding them.
Yes !
Disappointed with @newslaundry , every journalist standard should have refrained you from inviting a kin to decode a film showing the bucther nature of his uncle.
This is a shitty take but let’s take it at face value.
What’s wrong if it is about the votes? In any civilized country, what’s wrong with saying “do not vote for those who oversee or whitewash a genocide”?
The Sikhs of Punjab have been carrying the pain for decades. Satluj merely shares a story which has been buried for decades. Why are everyone’s pants on fire suddenly? Because the truth is bitter and it makes us confront dark chapters of our own past?
As far as the allegation of “rekindling anger” goes, what exactly does it mean? That people’s wounds will automatically heal by burying the past?
Sardar Jaswant Singh Khalra was murdered by the system. Why? Because he exposed the murders of thousands of innocents by that same system.
Where exactly is the “debate” then? There can be NO JUSTIFICATION for what happened in Punjab.
There’s only two kinds of people who justify atrocities by the system:
1. Those who have lived in a bubble & have perpetually benefited from the system (no matter who is in power)
2. Those who played an active role in whitewashing atrocities in the past & now feel uncomfortable when they’re exposed
There’s no third type. So makes you wonder…
I get it some are too young to stand for Punjab, some want to romantize everything so they wana stay away... But its right time to stand with Punjab. Satluj stirred emotions like none. People of Punjab should remain united and use their platform for their opinions. Its time.
Bharkha Dutt is chuppa psychopath who is against every minority she has ever met.
Against Kashmir, against Muslim, against Punjab, against Sikhs.
Shekhar Gupta is a baniya who will support anyone or oppose anyone for money. He is probably 100x better than Barkha just as a human.
Scanned the timeline of @HartoshSinghBal
Hypocrite has written long threads against people accused of sexual harrassment only hiding that his own mama was convicted in a sexual harrassment case & he did everything under the sun to get away
Now this scoundrel is busy whitewashing crimes by his mama totally exposed in movie #Satluj
