So, according to this former diplomat, Navi Pillay shouldn't be congratulated on winning the Nobel Peace Prize because she criticised India for precisely the things India ought to be criticised for.
Since when did defending India's reputation require defending its failures?
Wait. Don't answer that.
Astonishing post.
Wants India to congratulate someone who has a long record of targeting India.
Navi Pillay has regularly criticised India on human rights during her tenure as the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (2008–2014)
She has attacked India on Kashmir and mass graves and disappearances, on AFSPA, on Sexual Violence and New Delhi gang rape(2012), calling for substantial legal and systemic reforms to tackle widespread sexual violence, and Caste and Gender Discrimination (2014)
Throughout her tenure, she has has had policy frictions with India on human rights issues.
India has officially responded to her attacks.
She has also been a judge of the ICC which India does not recognise..
What is the case for congratulating her?
Simply because she is of Indian origin?

Hey quick question, do you think we’re fucking stupid
We have continued to dig into the root cause here and would like to offer an update.
Our engineering team discovered that the spike that triggered the incorrect enforcement was primarily in the account’s “reading” behavior. Specifically, our network security systems detected the use of a Claude tool reading profiles, posts, and hashtags, the rate of which sharply increased (~4x volume) in intense bursts on October 17.
These abrupt, high-volume, sequential requests in a short period resembled automated bot traffic rather than an ordinary human browsing our systems. This activity caused our automated protections to incorrectly take the No Kings Instagram account offline. An automated re-review of the removal action an hour later recognized that shouldn’t have happened and restored the account. It unfortunately took additional time for us to straighten out the situation with admin access to the IG account.
We want to reiterate our sincere apology for the error.

From the Cockiness of “Dear Mr Fact Checker” to “Dear Shri Zubair”. Credit where due, they admitted their flaw publicly. Great work as always @zoo_bear
Dear Shri Zubair, we have taken note of your point that many instances of duplicate entries can still be found in the electoral roll of UP even after SIR. We are well aware of that fact and are in midst of the work of removing the duplicate entries. A major political party has already submitted to us a list of such entries some days ago. They have claimed that the number of duplicate entries is in lakhs but we are sure that it would not be so since we have already covered much ground since end of SIR. We have also noted your other point of instances of individuals filing multiple forms-7 for deletion of other voters. This was also in our knowledge as the issue was prominently raised by parties during SIR in first half of February this year. We had done two press conferences only on this issue in the month of February itself. A news portal also brought it out again on 9th October before you posted about it. We had already clarified this issue before your post through a press release issued some days ago. You can check it out on our X handle.

Seven years after her death, Payal Tadvi’s case remains stalled. All the accused are out on bail. Even their medical licences have been restored.
This is the “process” people want Sahil’s parents to quietly trust, while IIT engages in CCTV leaks to “manage” the narrative.

I am not putting up the 1,000 pictures of headless dead bodies, burnt bodies of children, and women who were raped and then killed, from my gallery in Manipur because ALL OF YOU WILL BE TRIGGERED. In fact, Bangladesh aur France ke violent logon ki bhi raaton ki neend ud jayegi aisi khatarnaak tasveerein INDIA me li hain maine 2023 se. Like those toxic fathers jo ghar me apni wives ko maarte hain aur baher bohot acchi image banake rakhte hain, waise hi ye sarkar andar desh kharaab karke, bass baher chavi sudharne me lagi hai, aur jo unhe unki WRONGDOINGS pe expose kare, unhe anti-national batane me lagi hai. Mujhe aapki political party ki chavi ki nahi, apne desh ke logon ki padi hai, isliye ye likh rahi hun.
Jo log France-Bangladesh kar rahe hain naa, let me tell you, as a journalist who has spent the last three years in Manipur, that India crossed all levels of violence, brutality and security breakdown under BJP rule LONG, LONG BACK. France-Bangladesh don't even come close to what has happened in our own backyard.
Only because it has happened in Manipur, which nobody cares about, and the BJP has done a wonderful job of keeping mainstream media away, it has been easy to hide and ignore.
You want to talk violence? LET'S TALK VIOLENCE.
Women and children have been killed in the most brutal ways, in ways that even Hitler could not have imagined. I have covered children who were trained to use assault rifles. Civilians have thrown bombs (state-owned ammunition) at each other. And insurgents who were supposed to have ceased to exist have crossed over and been given weapons to wage a WAR.
Till today, violence is at its peak in Manipur, and the UNION HOME MINISTRY AND THE BJP GOVERNMENT HAVE COLOSSALLY FAILED TO STOP IT.
Forget stopping the violence. Children are living near gutters, and the govt hasn't been able to do anything for them. CENTRE BJP. STATE BJP. "Double Engine".
So what the fuck is your logic? And I'm sorry for using this language, but I'm sick of this fucking drama.
I have said this before, and I'll say it again.. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT COMPARE OUR KIDS, OUR CITIZENS, WITH FRANCE, BANGLADESH OR WHATEVER.
Agar unhe violence karna hota, toh unke paas bohot time tha aur bohot janta thi July 20 se pehle. Par naa kisi ka wo intention tha aur naa hi kabhi bhi hoga. Ye sikhaya hai hume Indian values ne. Indian democracy ne. NO VIOLENCE and we're all proud of it. Hum sabne dekha violence kisne shuru kiya aur kis hadd tak pahunchaya July 20 ko. Ek mahine se upar shanti se baithne ke baad, acchi education maangne ke baad, 12 baccho ke marne ke baad, ek bhi sarkar ka aadmi nahi aaya tab tak, jab tak baccho ke muh pe PELLET nahi chala di.
Don't know about our citizens, but our current politicians are 100% inspired by some of the most brutal leadership the world has ever seen. Bachchon ke muh pe bomb phenkne ki himmat rakhte hain ye log, if it comes to saving their power. I AM SAYING THIS ON RECORD because I have seen Manipur and what they have done there.
Jo apne khud ke bachchon ke muh ke upar pellet chala sakte hain, Manipur ke bachchon ko bhaad mein jaane de sakte hain, WO KYA DESHPREM KI BAAT KAR RAHE HAIN aur doosron ko jhoothi narratives ke basis par defame kar rahe hain!
Each word I have written, I stand by with evidence. Aap ho sakta hai mujhse agree nahi karte, mujhe pasand nahi karte, woh sab alag baatein hain. Par dil pe haath rakh ke ek baar sochiye ki maine kya galat bola.

Warm congratulations to Navi Pillay, the first woman of Indian origin to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Her extraordinary life story belongs to the many-storied, often heroic history of Indian migration: oceans traversed , hardships endured, discrimination confronted and new homelands served with honesty and distinction.
Her Indian inheritance and her South African experience meet in a life devoted to human dignity. Were Gandhiji alive, I believe he would have recognised something deeply familiar in that journey: the struggle against injustice in South Africa becoming a commitment to justice everywhere.
We may not have agreed with all her judgments or positions. That should not diminish our respect for her courage, independence and achievements. She is as much a daughter of India as she is of South Africa. Our national pride should be accommodating enough to embrace her independent conscience.

Better than the GOI's silence on Navi Pillay's Nobel Peace Prize is @KanwalSibal attempt to offer an explanation and I applaud him for that.
At the heart of his objection to Navi Pillay's Nobel is his suggestion that she "has a long record of targeting India". This is what he writes:
"She has attacked India on Kashmir and mass graves and disappearances, on AFSPA, on Sexual Violence and New Delhi gang rape(2012), calling for substantial legal and systemic reforms to tackle widespread sexual violence, and Caste and Gender Discrimination (2014)."
Let's break it down.
1. Kashmir mass graves.
This is what a UN press release in Oct 2012 (news.un.org/en/story/2012/10…) said when Pillay was head of the UNHRC:
"The human rights of people living in areas that are the subject of unresolved territorial disputes are also often neglected, she noted, adding that one such example is Jammu and Kashmir in India, where the discovery of 2,730 bodies in unmarked mass graves was confirmed in a 2011 report by the Jammu and Kashmir State Human Rights Commission.
“I urge the Indian authorities to fully investigate past killings and disappearances and bring the perpetrators to justice, as well as to ensure protection of witnesses and families of the missing and provide them with redress,” the High Commissioner stated. “These will be critical steps in the ongoing effort to build confidence with the aim of promoting lasting peace and stability in the region.”"
Here, Pillay does nothing more than cite the finding on mass graves of an OFFICIAL INDIAN BODY, the J&K SHRC and urges India to fully investigate. Here is the JK SHRC report (kljp.org/articles/shrc-on-un…). After 2019 the commission was disbanded and it no longer has a website! How is that 'targeting India'?
2. Call to repeal AFSPA. Navi Pillay made this call in 2009. Two years later, another Pillai, Gopal Pillai, former Union Home Secretary, said the same thing. (nagalimvoice.com/news/gk-pil…). Whether you agree or disagree, the call to repeal AFSPA has many, many backers within India and abroad and this position cannot be dismissed as 'anti-India'. The government is free to disregrard these calls, if it wishes.
3. "She has attacked India on ... Sexual Violence and New Delhi gang rape(2012), calling for substantial legal and systemic reforms to tackle widespread sexual violence"
Yikes. Navi Pillay echoed what Indians were saying on the street and whose views Parliament duly took note of by passing a new law that embodied substantial legal and systemic reforms to tackle widespread sexual violence.
4. "She has attacked India on ... Caste and Gender Discrimination (2014)".
Double yikes! He gives the date for 2014 when Navi Pilay made (as far as I can tell) brief and unobjectionable remarks in response to the murder of two Maurya girls in UP, but I found a more complete statement from 2013 which cannot be accused of 'targeting India'. (idsn.org/wp-content/uploads/…). She actually said this, which should please Mr Kanwal Sibal: "India also has far-reaching constitutional guarantees and laws which prohibit castebased discrimination. Most recently, the Union Cabinet in India has cleared the new legislation on manual scavenging, proposing stiff penalties against any public authority or private individual who uses or promotes this heinous practice. With an estimated 90% of Dalit women among manual scavengers in India, the adoption of this law will represent a key step forward in protecting and promoting the rights of Dalit women and it will represent a good practice for other countries where manual scavenging continues to be practiced."
Net-net, the evidence offered to justify India not welcoming Navi Pillay's Nobel Peace Prize is unconvincing.
Please revise and resubmit.
