No political cartoons allowed, but the BJP CM of Assam's Twitter account posted a video of him shooting at pictures of Muslims with a rifle, with the message 'No Mercy' & the IT ministry said fuck all, didn't do a thing. The post was taken down, but only because ppl pushed back.
I spoke to Nidheesh Tyagi of Harkara on Gen Naravane's revelations and the issues raised by my essay on his memoir in The Caravan magazine. (in Hindi)

What really happened during the India-China border crisis, including at Galwan? Then army chief Gen MM Naravane's memoir provides extensive details, of political decision making, restrictions on the military and the disengagement process. That's why it perhaps remains unpublished till date.
People should definitely try this during waking hours
As Iranians Fight Their Far-Right Government, A Narrative War Brews Elsewhere
While Iranians are mounting a brave fight against an authoritarian regime and a crumbling economy, a narrative war that leverages this critical struggle for ulterior motives is being fought in other parts of the world.

So sorry for your loss. In times like these, it is companions like Lala who keeps us sane and optimistic about tomorrow. I hope she finds peace in another world.
I hope the conditions in the US are such that this cannot, in fact, go on for 3 more years. But in India, it's gone on for more than 10. Not this level of constant escalation, but the mainstreaming of public lynchings/murders (by both civilian and police brownshirts).
completely evil to not only disenfranchise people but to use an unwilling persons identity to hide behind

A Hindu nationalist supporter stopped two Muslim vendors in Theog market and forced them to chant “Jai Shri Ram.”

Some white person posts about hindutva depravity. I'm like, oh I should engage and talk about it with them. The moment I open the comment box it's a fascist shithole, including the person posting the content.
They're posting this to generate perception against immigrants/Indians.
Yes, they've mentioned it to be in Kashmir which is not true.
I'm looking for a flatmate in Delhi. If anyone has any leads then please let me know.
I have a theory that Trump took/is taking lesson from Modi's workings in India. He does something outrageous leading to a public uproar but before the public could come out on the streets, he does something more outrageous. Now, the public is unable to decide, which issue they stick to.

"Too often, military history is taken over by symbolism. But Ikkis sides with the soldier, not the slogan. It respects bravery while acknowledging the futility of war. Its ending reinforces that military virtue lies in conduct, not celebration."
I write on Sriram Raghavan's new film, Ikkis.
Marxist Rosa Luxemburg was murdered on this day in 1919.

Now it's all just an extension of the executive.
One of the biggest scams in the history of India has been granted the right to privacy. The government took funds in the name of COVID and no one knows where that money went.
Can someone translate this please
The Indian youth should definitely do so only if they can spare some time from dancing in front of mosques and churches.

The judges who denied bail to Umar Khalid & Sharjeel Imam have granted custom exemption to Adani Power. Yep, that's the great Indian judiciary. 50 years ago, the judiciary once commented that the Indian police is an "organized gang of criminals." Today, they're a competitor for the same phrase.
would lay bare the entire facade of manufactured cases in the Delhi riot, thereby officially making this riot a classic case of a BJP riot. (3/3)
and some lucky ones are even ministers in the current Delhi government, while Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam are made to take all the fall. Further, Umar and Sharjeel are also unable to secure bail because granting them bail,... (2/3)
To break it into simple words, they're Muslims, and they must spend 8-10 years in jail without being guilty of any crime. The Delhi riot has been a classic case of a politically manufactured riot by the BJP. The actual accused have been garlanded, moving up the Sangh ladder,... (1/3) #UmarKhalid
