I wrote this to a #BJP supporter who wanted to know my political position. I am expanding and sharing it here.
1. BJP is as corrupt and inefficient as #Congress, but it gets a free pass because it is successfully advancing the cause of #Hindu #majoritarianism.

2. Examples are #Rammandir, #kashivishvanathtemple, #Article370, #TripleTalaq, #UCC, #CAANRC, #Cowslaughter bans, random #lynchings of Muslims, ban on #Azan in public, etc. A majority of Hindus in India support these, as they believe these will "put Muslims in their place."

3. In fact, #Corruption under the BJP is likely to be far worse than under Congress rule, because the media (which is now entirely under the control of Modi's corporate cronies like A&A) simply refuses to investigate any BJP corruption scams. Examples: #Vyapam, #Rafale...

#VirSavarkar never pleaded for himself but for all.
Some time back, a document from British library on #Savarkar was made available. It's not the Savarkar's petition from jail, but the notes of #British govt on petition. See the page, where it's written, 'Petition by -1/4

VD Savarkar for an amnesty to all political prisoners'. In the bracket it's written, ' not necessarily include himself'.
What does it mean? He had taken up the case of all political prisoners, not himself ....

Context: RSS #Hindtutva follower Nathuram Godse shot #Gandhi because he "loved Muslims." RSS destroyed 15th century Babri mosque, RSS butchered & raped 1000s of Muslims in #Gujarat. RSS fanatics now more emboldened than ever since #Modi came to power in #India. Violence against 1
Muslims has reached epidemic proportions in India following reemergence of RSS, an ultra-Hindu nationalist paramilitary that models itself on Mussolini's fascists. Yes, really. Whilst many Hindus don't subscribe to its views Narendra Modi was voted into office twice via BJP, 2
Since everyone is talking Criminal Justice today, for obvious reasons, some thoughts below.
Every time Patel plays Gesture Politics, changes sentences, botches laws, adds grounds for appeal, she knows she's making a broken system worse.
Proof of insincerity and/or incompetence?

How does Criminal Justice end up like this?
This man ⬇️ is a victim of another Home Office miscarriage of justice.
His pursuit by Patel is political. And the cost is massive amounts of Court and Barrister time.
Now recall, he is just one of thousands.

I doubt you're a fan of the Government's Rwanda Policy.
But imagine you were. Most likely you wouldn't want it in court, failing to work. You'd want to avoid last minute appeals.
Yet Patel creates exactly those problems. This is how to avoid them ⬇️

"Perhaps stealing public money to pay political party supporters, promising to boost national affluence and the economy but blocking exports and impoverishing the poor, or breaking international law, might bring on resignation."
Look no further than UK Government for evidence!⚖️

"But confusion over the date a leader heard about allegations of their predecessor being accused of inappropriate sexual harassment? How can that lead to resignation? How can that equate to breaching a Ministerial Code?"
"The call for her resignation was simply devised and leaked by the political opponents taking part in the Holyrood Harassment inquiry’s committee. They feel it might give them a little more chance to win more seats in the May election."

Andy's arrest comes the day after authoritarian minister for Equalities (yes, Equalities) @KemiBadenoch smeared brilliant journo Nadine White @Nadine_Writes , exposing White to predictable trolling and abuse. 2/
Liz Truss @trussliz played the same dirty trick on @Halima_Begum CEO @RunnymedeTrust, using inflammatory language *in Parliament* that she must have known would expose Begum to trolling, abuse & threats of harm. 3/
"A charter flight to remove asylum seekers who recently arrived in the UK on small boats was due to take off on Wednesday despite last-minute high court actions in early hours of Wednesday morning and other interventions which have led to at least 19 people not boarding plane."
"The vulnerability of many of those threatened with removal to mainland Europe is stark, with at least nine thought to be suffering from PTSD, at least eight survivors of torture, and seven at risk of suicide, with several having attempted suicide since arriving in the UK."
"At least three are victims of trafficking and at least three are suffering from physical injuries acquired through torture."

#LFLo : Is the import of steel or other material which went into the making of #Patel statue #banned. If not, then it's a voluntary choice of the builders, to use whatever material they decide on, no? for instance they could use more costly material and build a smaller statue?..2
2/lflo On the other hand a bureaucratic socialist policy on holding up imports which have been already paid-for, is counter productive, as it hurts the Indian SME importer not the #CCP exporter.
3/lflo Should have applied it to everything which was shipped after date of decision, not items already in Indian ports or on high seas. 🧐🤔 https://t.co/XaRMlzi3qw
#BoycottChina. The slogan has gained a tremendous pace. Sangh stays in the forefront to exhort it only because of true nationalism coated with #patriotism!. a real fomenting zeal?.

I could go into the middle of my city and be one of those annoying shouty people but it's not a good look and I would rather annoy people on here. So lets make it loud and clear:

The british people in contempt. They want you to fight and another, engage in petty identity politics over #brexit whilst they rob you and make life worse for not only you and the next generation. They dont care about racism and #antisemitism, their ease at blowing the latter 2
Out of proportion in order to hinder Labour, demonstrates they are no friends to jewish people (The fact that the supposedly progressive Libdems, engage in these smears is revealing as well). With neoliberalism, we are all expendable in name of unethical and elitist capitalism. 3

I am currently reading this wonderful book by @Koenraad_Elst which gives amazing insight abt the defence of Godse and exposes the blunders commited by Gandhi (I refuse to use Mahatma), have decided that will be tweeting extracts from the same as I go along. #KnowYourLegacy
Untill now almost all the works published on Gandhi have been hagiographies with none really questioning Gandhi on some hard facts and hence this book comes as something fresh.. #KnowYourLegacy @muglikar_ @indiantweeter @TrueIndology
This book also provides an opportunity for the next gen to learn abt the mistakes commited during the freedom struggle and more importantly also abt the fact that it was not a single person or party which helped us attain independence #KnowYourLegacy @muglikar_ @TrueIndology
