A pause, a punctuation. All else is about being sentenced to sentences. Writes. Rights.
Long before Jyoti Malhotra, there was Madhuri Gupta. I had written then: “The real issue is the creation of an undercover subculture & obfuscate the role of well-entrenched intelligence agencies in India and Pakistan…where the mole is a mere marionette.” farzana-versey.blogspot.com/2010/05/indian…
I am the writer Omar Hamad, and I want to trade my library for a sack of flour.
13 July 1931, Martyrs Day: The causes of resistance against Dogra rule were many, chief among them the pitiable economic condition of the majority community. Muslims were treated more unfairly in every sphere of life than the Kashmiri Hindus. The poverty of Muslim ...+
If the UPA comes to power in 2029, then the best thing they can do for India is to “undo everything the BJP has done since 2014”. Within a short span of 11 years the BJP has divided people like never before and enshrined hatred as political strategy. India/Bharat deserve better.
Yes go on, elect the UPA in 2029 and watch them undo everything the BJP has done since 2014 out of vengeance like they did after 2004. A lot of us seniors, with nothing to lose, are going to sit back and watch the fun as the middle class Hindu who is always complaining about…
The absolute naïveté to believe that the father murdered his daughter because of patriarchy. Patriarchy is a mindset; it’s not a motive. If Deepak Yadav was worried about taunts, why didn’t he kill himself? There’s more in there. The media should wait. ndtv.com/india-news/rad…
India is the only country where the ruling party gives plum posts to members who make hate speeches and use Parliament to abuse minorities.
INDIA is the only country where the minorities get more benefits and protections than the majority community! indianexpress.com/article/politi…
Sada kutta kutta, tumhara kutta Tommy? This Liverdoc is such a hypocrite. Meet his “small core team” that includes Ayurveda and Homeopath “physicians”.
Right wing hate mongering accounts shares a morphed photo of Madrasa Teacher portraying Islam as superior to Hinduism. In Actual photo, A Muslim Teacher is seen teaching Sanskrit to Madarasa Students.
Shashi Tharoor has repeatedly stated that RSS wants to rewrite the constitution to create a Hindu Rashtra, but now he claims that RSS has moved on from that. Question is whether it is RSS that has changed or is it @ShashiTharoor that has changed?
#WATCH | Ahmedabad, Gujarat | On Congress LoP Rahul Gandhi's tweet that the RSS-BJP want Manusmriti instead of the Constitution, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor says, "Historically, he's (Rahul Gandhi) referring to the fact that that was a criticism expressed at the time of the…
Maybe Lord Ram did not want to be burdened with a Pakistani problem?! More seriously, if anything, Bollywood errs on the side of majoritarianism - it takes a Hindu (& a Brahmin) to save a Muslim. Not too different from media portrayal and public perception of ‘tolerance’.
Was rewatching 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan'. Enjoyed it the first time. Now I found it pseudo-secularist. Salman prays to Ram throughout, his prayers aren't answered. His wish is only finally granted when he goes to a Dargah. Lol. Deewar was like this too. Mother calls Amitabh to…
“Agar Pakistan ghootnon par tha to kyon hum samjhauta kiye?” Prashant Kishor raises pertinent questions re Operation Sindoor. If the govt’s aim is to get PoK & independence for Balochistan, then why did we not pursue it since we claim “Pakistan darr gaya”?
“Service to the nation” is now all about sound bites echoing the government pov – that too despite having a nasty cough and cold?
There is only one victor of Operation Sindoor and that is Shashi Tharoor.
“the reaction to [Mamdani] in India brings up a question that remains perpetually at the heart of Indian political discourse: when we take away the legalities of citizenship, who is Indian and who gets to define what being Indian really means.” I write thewire.in/politics/what-…
this will blow your islamophobic mind, but the original design for the Statue of Liberty was a Muslim woman, an Egyptian peasant. Bartholdi designed it as a gift to Egypt. It gradually evolved into a classic colossus known as “Liberty Enlightening the World” and gifted to the US
This hits hard.
An observation, Hindi films rarely feature people eating non-veg, meat, fish, whereas, in regional films, it’s ever present.
There is only one victor of Operation Sindoor and that is Shashi Tharoor.
Why were forensic experts at Shefali Jariwala’s house? The manner in which the news has objectified her in death with their an anti-ageing treatments blame game it would seem that they’re conspiring with some ayurveda company to replace Vit C & glutathione serums in the market.
🔴#BREAKING | "Took medicines for years, anti-ageing drugs likely cause," says sources on Shefali Jariwala's death NDTV's @AnujRayate joins @osamashaab with more details
Indian akhand nationalism has reached space when our state-sponsored astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla tells the PM that “Bhavya” Bharat looks larger than it does on the maps… Kahaan gaya “saare jahaan se achcha”?
Israel is a terror state. And the West that talks about fighting terrorism is complicit.
A friend in Tehran sent me this video, apartment complex housing university professors attacked directly across the street from her house. The randomness of strikes in residential neighborhoods have terrified Iranians.
Not every person who takes out the “What if the x,y,z were a Muslim” trump card soon after an accident or an attack is an ally. It’s just another moment where it is safe for them to take sides. Otherwise, their covert Islamophobia often manifests itself in woke balancing acts.
