Both of you are wrong. Stop reducing India’s identity to individual heroes. Every mother is the soul of India, every young Indian is its backbone, and our collective values are its mind. Nations are built by millions of ordinary people, not just a handful of individuals.
1/3 Let’s not fool ourselves. Elections have never been perfectly fair. Some parties resorted to ballot paper theft; others found more creative ways to influence the process. The methods may have changed, but political manipulation is not new.
2/3 The Congress and opposition have an opportunity to change the narrative around the Election Commission. This is no longer just about who is right or wrong. It is a battle of perception and narrative. They need to take a moral high ground.
I was in Patiala about a month ago. On my way to the airport, I got talking to my driver. The comparison he made was with Haryana, particularly Gurgaon and other cities.
His point was simple: Punjab has very little to show in comparison.
He said he would vote for the BJP because, at the very least, he hoped it would bring some prosperity.
He also spoke about how even land is no longer generating the kind of wealth it once did.
🧵 My friend just became a millionaire. On paper. In a spreadsheet. That his CFO won’t let him sell.
Welcome to the Bangalore startup guy India’s most confidently broke rich person.
Nobody actually gets rich. They get liquid one day, maybe, after the IPO that’s “6 months away” for the fifth consecutive year. Until then it’s a screenshot of a portfolio they can’t touch, shown to you over a ₹1,200 pour-over they’ll expense as “team offsite.”
Which schools, which districts, what year? Real cases deserve names, FIRs, action not a viral speech. Vague claims help no one who’s actually suffering.
His party governed for 50+ years. If kids are cleaning toilets, that’s an indictment of his record, not his applause line.
The Manusmriti lives rent-free in exactly one demographic: people looking for a stick to beat Hindus with. Ordinary Hindus have never opened it.
Having grown up among Hindus, and having my closest friends(who are family), I have not had one single interaction in my life, where they have mentioned about Manusmriti or their homes had the book of Manusmriti on their book shelves or even in their Mandirs.
I don't know any conversation in my life till know, whether political, whether ideological, whether religious, where my Hindu friend, acquaintance or opponent, has brought up any verse from the Manusmriti.
In my online debates, with thousands, no Hindu has even remotely mentioned about the Manusmriti. My leftist Hindu friends have never brought it up, their strong difference with me continues to be our differing views on our Prime Minister,Mr Narendra Modi.
My right wing friends, have not in any debate mentioned the words Manusmriti. Even hardline right wing followers have never left a reply under my tweets, mentioning Manusmriti.
My everyday life in Pune since childhood is lived amongst a Hindu Majority and in all my experiences, there is no symbology I have seen in public spaces, where there is any imprint of verses from the Manusmriti.
My closest Hindu friend is an Atheist and co-incidentally, his name is Rahul too. My son is surprised that how come Rahul Chachu is an Atheist and still be a Hindu and not face any backlash from his community, rather it is treated as a matter of choice.
I told him, that is the beauty of the faith he is born to, he can be a Hindu, regardless of his views on his faith, a privilege which Abrahamic children of India will never have.
He can be a Hindu and be among those millions and millions of Hindus, who have never even heard about the Manusmriti and are reminded every now and then of it, by Leftist Hindus and now by the opposition leader of India, Mr Rahul Gandhi.
A believer like Narendra Modi is a Hindu and Rahul Gandhi who attacks the Manusmriti, he too, is seen as a Hindu by the 1 Billion Hindus of India.
Better than your jamaat. At least they don't break the TV. It's just cricket..lol
