A society that refuses to confront uncomfortable truths condemns itself to perpetual discord. If “secularism” is to retain any credibility, it must rest on intellectual honesty—recognising that communal tensions are not manufactured in a vacuum but are often sustained by denial masquerading as virtue. @sgurumurthy



Iran elected as member of an UN committee dealing with human rights. While the ayatollahs are hanging freedom loving innocent people in droves, the Netherlands voted in favor, @MinBZ?? Have you gone completely crazy? This is a betrayal of the Iranian people. #Iran #freedom


At a pro-Palestinian rally in Australia, they chant “death to Australia.” In Canada, they chant “death to Canada.” In Germany, they chant “death to Germany.” In the UK, they chant “death to England.” In the US, they chant “death to America.” Have you noticed a pattern?


This is Lenskart Pongal ad of 2025. The models are celebrating it without Bindi and with weird costumes. Next is the image from Pinterest. The real celebration of Pongal. @peyushbansal who gave this idea to create such nonsense ad?

‼️A POST THAT WILL NOT, BUT SHOULD BECOME VIRAL. - SHARE READ 👉 Human Rights Watch exposes how Muslim Brotherhood-linked networks are shielding Sudanese army atrocities. A new report (LINK IN COMMENTS ) details a disturbing reality: Sudan’s armed forces under General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan are carrying out arbitrary arrests, torture, secret detention without family contact, and even deaths in custody. Civilians are the primary targets. Especially those from Darfur, humanitarian aid workers, or anyone suspected of ties to rival paramilitary groups. Many are being swept up by special “security cells” — units made up of military intelligence and Islamist-linked militias — and subjected to brutal treatment. Some of these abuses may amount to war crimes. At the same time, Muslim Brotherhood-linked networks are ramping up international pressure to protect and legitimize the very same military apparatus. This is all part of a broader effort to regain the political power they lost after the 2019 revolution. Its time to turn worlds attention on this. Please share. Full report in comments.
