Hemingway's wife:
Hemingway demonstrates so well that prose may be plain, even dour, and yet be very vivid and powerful. One of my favorite authors in the English language.

So in 1991 , Bihar govt changed the name of Bhagalpur University to Tilka Manjhi University to commemorate a fictional tribal leader.
Today I learnt that there's no historical record up until independence of any tribal leader named Tilka Manjhi fighting the Britishers. It only emerged around 1960s-70s.

After a Congress-Communist clash in Bombay on 26 January 1930,Nehru had declared: “I honour and respect the red flag, because it represents the blood and suffering of the workers...There is, and should be, no rivalry between our national tri-colour flag and the workers red flag."

“On a morning of dark disquiet,when the birds are mute and their nests shake in the gust,I sit alone and ask myself, "Where is she?" The days have flown wherein we sat too near each other;we laughed and jested,and the awe of love's majesty found no words at our meetings.” -Tagore

I had an aged professor at DU from Odisha who was completely ignorant of Ambedkar's book Pakistan or Partition of India. When I quoted from it, he was taken aback and said he'll look into it whether it exists. Tagda eco chamber. Just like these people, they never read!
Changaroth village in Kerala had a Dalit president. After Congress + Muslim League won, they cleaned the office with water while flying Islamic flags. In secularism, it is called Bheem ✝️ Meem ☪️

It’s resentment and capture. Any national moment that doesn’t route through the family is treated as illegitimate. Add an advisory ring hostile to Indian power itself, and you get reflexive sabotage dressed up as principle. The behaviour is ideological, not accidental.
My honest and blunt thoughts on why Congressis behave like this 1. Pappu hates Op Sindoor. He sees it as a "counter" to 1971 war victory under his grandma. Note that BJP never does this, in fact RW uses 1971 surrender pic as a meme to troll Pakis far more than Congressis do ,

I had to check if it was a parody account! No way Arfa called Islamic terrorism out???
The Bondi Beach attack is Islamist terrorist violence targeting a peaceful Jewish gathering. No ambiguity. A cowardly and barbaric act of hatred against humanity.
