When whole nations (1st World countries) have been found wanting in their preparedness against #COVID19Pandemic the Indian Govt. & the #GodiMedia has been vilifying the #TablighiJamat for not handling the situation in a better way @khanumarfa @pbhushan1 @hwmaqbul @cjwerleman

@CommonBS786OM The smug look on his face & sarcastic smile of a hate-monger could be a thing of the past. Long live humanity!
Accept heart felt condolences from your remote family too...

I am privileged to be associated with the high-profile cases against two news organisations — NDTV and Newsclick.

I was also one of the many picked up from my home by 8 cops and questioned in the Newsclick case.

Although my ordeal was very short — and the cops were extremely polite and almost apologetic — it traumatised my family, especially my kids.

My anger at that time all but made me abandon my father's teachings of never letting my politics come in the way of my analysis. I am glad to say that I was able to transcend the temptation of becoming a partisan commentator.

However, I do not question the establishment for what happened to me. I had already experienced the state's overreach as a three-year-old, when my father had to go underground for a year during the Emergency.

My question is to the mainstream, legacy news media — especially those who do various shades of Journalism of COURAGE.

What made you regurgitate whatever was fed to you against Newsclick, or indeed against NDTV?

What made you not look at the obvious holes in the stories concocted against them?

Why did you not even do your patented 'he said, she said' journalism? Why was it only what HE said?

Make no mistake — YOU are the real enemies of democracy.

AVADH OJHA DESTROYS WHATSAPP HISTORY 🔥

Around 1950, almost every major leader had written books.

Nehru wrote. Maulana Azad wrote. Subhas Chandra Bose wrote. Ambedkar wrote.

Today, out of 545 MPs, maybe a handful can write.

People know nothing about Nehru’s economic policy, foreign policy or Five-Year Plans.

But they know one thing: Edwina Mountbatten.

If someone abuses Nehru without knowing what India was in 1947, that person is historically foolish.

PERIOD.

Watched this woman destroy an innocent girls life while reading her WhatsApp Messages on the news. For ratings. Had her call me anti-national on the news for speaking about women’s safety. For ratings. Now she’s ‘concerned’ about women. For ratings. Give me a break. That’s my take.

This is the opening ceremony of the 2022 World Cup.
This was the World Cup everyone claimed Qatar couldn't pull off, but they ended up hosting arguably the best, most organised World Cup in recent memory.

The Quran recitation and the calm atmosphere gave it a unique feel never seen before.

Now, we wait to see what the upcoming tournament in North America will bring.

The bar has been set incredibly high, and it is going to take a lot more than the usual American corporate and media hype to match this level of soul and standard.

@bobbylakhanpal @MEAIndia His son is missing, but he is busy on X retweeting Modi. Andhbhakts are the most shameless creatures.

[Hindustan @Peace_Nirvana1]

@bobbylakhanpal @MEAIndia Papa used to say that one should never celebrate anyone's death; it is something that can arrive uninvited at anyone's doorstep at any time.

I grieve for the death of your son, Sharma ji—just as deeply as I grieved for the deaths of the innocent people in Gaza.

[Indian Muslim Archives @Rustum_0]

When James Forbes (1749-1819) visited India, he observed that Hindus would build small temples within or beside Muslim buildings and gradually expanded it until the structure was effectively appropriated.

Nothing has changed today... James wrote:

"Here are many splendid remains of Mughal buildings, and ruinous mausoleums in a grand style; in some of their enclosures the Hindus had built small places of worship, which among so bigotted a people appeared very extraordinary; in another place we saw a Muslim mosque inhabited by a Hindu Gosains."

[Mohammed Zubair @zoo_bear]

A Brahmin student being called a 'Pakistani' by Modi Bhakts shocked and rightfully hurt many people across ideological lines, including several from the Right Wing itself. Because suddenly, people realised how dehumanising that label is.
But for years now, countless Indian Muslims especially those who speak up or question the government or criticise the PM are casually branded 'Pakistanis' or 'Bangladeshis' or a 'Rohingya'.
Our loyalty is questioned, our identity is regularly mocked, our citizenship treated as conditional.
And the society has normalised it so much that most people don’t even react anymore.
An insult that rightfully outraged people when used against a Brahmin student is thrown at Muslims every single day without guilt or an outrage, or without any consequences. No Indian should have to constantly prove they belong to their own country.
All thanks to the Media and the Politicians for Normalising this Hate against Indian Muslims.

Supreme Court just declined a plea against the Adani project in Singrauli because of a "delay" in filing. So now, 6-7 LAKH TREES 🌴 will be chopped down just because of a technical time-limit rule?!
Are we seriously putting bureaucratic deadlines over the life of our planet? No one seems to understand what happens when nature becomes just as reluctant to support us.Our future generations will pay the ultimate price for these bloody, human-made rules. Devastating.
