Did this remarkable show with two other diehard Rafi fans - @Saurabh_Unmute and Saurabh Shahi - a few days back. It is a freewheeling conversation between Rafi fanboys marvelling over the versatility and greatness of the maestro.

A true statesman who to @strobetalbott’s horror mused to him about Afghanistan being a part of ‘Akhand Bharat’. A true statesman who led the demolition of Babri Masjid. You, sir, are the epitome of hypocrisy and deviousness that @INCIndia stands for.

They weren't, as many try to pass them off as, secularists or the torch-bearers of Hindu-Muslim unity.

The Islamist wet dreams that a sizable number of moderate Muslims too harbour have immeasurably damaged the Islamic world and its societies. This was also the reason that some Muslim scholars and leaders in the undivided India opposed the Partition. 1/2

3 …has its roots in @INCIndia’s - even those before India’s independence. From cow vigilantism to Babri Masjid demolition to every other scourge, Congress has been the pioneer. @BJP4India only made it mainstream and took it to another level.

2 …to chant a poem that glorifies a Hindu goddess? Moreover Bankim Chandra Chatterjee was pro-Brahminical and a rank communalist whose work is anathema to India’s apparently secualr character. Truth be told, the problem is that every malady that India is beset with today…

1 We shouldn’t have had an abridged version of vande mataram, let alone the full version. Edited or unedited, it shouldn’t have been incorporated as the national song. Why should a Muslim, a Christian, a Sikh, a Buddhist or even a Hindu who doesn’t believe in religion have…

Indeed. And this is something that westerners struggle to understand. Indians love India. They love the noise, chaos, pollution, and the poop-smell. Evidence: They recreate these even in million-dollar ghettoes in the West. They go to the West ONLY for money.

What is this dumbness of dismissing Rahul Gandhi's claims by saying "one person can't vote at so many places in one day/for so many times?" That's the whole point. A name/photo is used multiple times to generate bogus voters, which is then exploited for bogus voting.

Zohran Mamdani, a Muslim immigrant wins New York’s mayoral election! He calls himself a Democratic Socialist, and favours free buses, free childcare & freeze on rents in NY. He defeats big money & Trump who called him a communist & ganged up to defeat him. His win has many

2002। मोदी ने बचाव नहीं किया। उन्होंने हमला किया। पुलिस अधिकारी को जेल भेज दिया गया। झूठा मुकदमा दायर किया गया। ज़मानत नामंजूर कर दी गई। उसके घर पर बुलडोज़र चला दिया गया। हम जानते हैं। हम चुप हैं। डर का साम्राज्य है। न्याय मर चुका है। एक राष्ट्र ने अंधेपन का रास्ता चुन लिया है।

A candidate who doesn't know the problems of the people, cannot be expected to solve them. Vote responsibly. You cannot undo your vote for the next 5 years.

@rwac48 Entire deplomatic corps is clueless ,without ability to sniff the wind. They didn't see china coming in Ladakh and now S Jaishankar says " I don't know why China is in Ladakh"

So, our fabled foreign service and our political leadership that claimed bonhomie could not judge this man. Or, did he just prove that he took the naive for a rollercoaster ride.

@theliverdr It gets worse. People actually followed some tradition and a boy lost his life

@Hussainesque @tariqtramboo This is a misleading claim (from a doctor!, not surprised). It is sad that people do this for engagement farming. See the replies down this conversation, the evidence is weak and there are no standardized formulations based on this which is approved or recommended.

@grok @tariqtramboo @Hussainesque Overstating weak evidence as strong claims is kind of "grifting" Grok.

@RShivshankar Hours before the ceasefire, Indian Army said Pakistan showed intent to further escalate. But Modi said Pakistan begged for ceasefire. Who lied? https://t.co/lsI8J6Rti1
