    I’ve seen the footage from #Leicester where about 200 supporters of Hindutva took out a rally shouting Jai Shri Ram in a Muslim area. Let me just say to all my fellow Indians, Hindutva has deeply broken our country. Please do not export these divisions worldwide.

    I’m sorry Mr Modi, but my dad actually fought in the 1971 ops. It was a complicated war and one for which many good lives were lost. Stop this personalizing of history. This is the story of the Bangladeshi freedom fighters and the Indian armed forces, not yours.

    People aren’t humanly built to take the kind of public abuse and insult @RahulGandhi has taken for YEARS now. And he’s still standing. There’s something we need to observe and learn from here. He hasn’t crumbled.

    Oddly enough Rahul’s teams are doing some solid investigations for a political party- something that in a normal country would be done by all journalists.

    Indian fella thinks Palestine has a vote in the UN, then makes up a UN voting record for it. He’s so sure of himself that he posts this. This is called the Dunning Kruger effect.

    Pay attention to INC candidate Geniben Thakor from Banaskantha. She has won. She had to crowdfund her campaign and was up against a dynast.

    This thread is for Non-resident Indians in America that support the #CAA Today I want to tell you the story of a man called Bhagat Singh Thind. He was born in 1892 in colonial Punjab. In 1913 he went to the US for higher education and enlisted as a soldier for the US Army

    What on earth is the Indian media doing and how are they being able to get away with the blatant lying?

    Well deserved! You have certainly helped in transforming the face of Indian news by erasing the line between news and extremist, genocidal propaganda.
    Received the award for being India's Transformational Leader. While I don't work for awards, I am humbled by this recognition. For me, the real award is the love and trust of my viewers. Thank you for your unwavering support.

    The entire Mahabharata was a war where family fought and killed family.
    Aurangzeb killed his own family members still pesudo secularists want aurangzeb road.

    Boris Johnson in India asked “did we impose a salt tax? How astonishing” Along with a comb, I now want to send him a consignment of textbooks on British colonialism. 🤦🏽‍♀️

    Gentle reminder to everyone that Boeing planes (737 series) have recorded crashes because of known issues. There is an excellent documentary on this on Netflix. With the 787s, Japan and the US had grounded these aircrafts about 12 years ago for problems with the lithium ion

    I’m on the side of the @IndiGo6E flight attendant. The man clearly calls her a servant, he says “you are a servant”. She responds with “I am an employee”. It makes me sick to see so many men saying this is bad behaviour by a flight attendant. Sorry, but there are limits.
