Moropant Pingley took the VHP from the sideline to task it with the momentous the Ram Janmabhoomi movement. He revived the movement and mobilised Hindus through yatras. The BJP came late to the party but Advani articulated the Hindu sentiments in clear political terms. The party made the movement broad based, gave it the national attention. Sita Ram Goel, Ram Swarup, Arun Shourie and others gave it intellectual heft. Hindus need civilisational issues, sincere leadership and courageous scholars to fight the Islamism. Left is a mere ruse for it.

While growing up everyone passes through the alley of rebellion and nonconformity. I too attended a meeting of Medha Patkar against the Narmada Dam and lecture of Sainath on the pitfalls of the WTO on India’s farmers. A close college friend worked part time with the BEST was a member of CITU. Another Telugu friend was a huge naxal sympathiser, always taking me to seminars and lectures. A senior member of the faculty was red card member of CPM. Her husband was a well-known figure in the cultural circle. There came a moment of epiphany. I got to read Sita Ram Goel’s How I Became Hindu, sitting outside the ICU where my uncle was recovering post-surgery. Within next three days I finished Arise Arjuna and Aurobindo’s India’s Rebirth. Many of us would have lost ourselves to leftism had there been no Voice of India. Goel and Ram Swarup were the giants who walk once on the earth.

Only one Indian name. 🤔 Shikha Dalmia. We can tell you lot many.

Now that the cockroaches have declared that they would not bow down to the Supreme Court, will it not be worthwhile that the CJI ask U. Bhuyan to look into it? Bhuyan would love to take on the cockroaches.

Not much into conspiracy theory but what I read gave me a minor shock. Here the Marathi newspaper Kesari describes: ‘The ashes of Mahatma Gandhi was collected on 2 February. A bullet was discovered in the ashes. Pt. Nehru, Sarojini Naidu and Sir Akbar Hyderi and others were present.’ Dated 14 February 1948, and the line announcing the discovery of the bullet was printed in bold. Not many people know that the police recovered a bullet from Devdas Gandhi who carried out the last rites. But the police record says it was recovered on 31 Jan. @RanjitSavarkar @PankajPhadnis

Pratap B. Mehta again defends violence. He says as no institutional feedback of policy making exists under Modi, the streets are only way to make him hear. Reminds us Mehta’s earlier piece written after the Citizenship Amendment Bill in 2019 where he called upon people to hit the street to protest against the change. His romanticisation of violence is not new. His verbiage and highbrowism doesn’t qualify even for a rant for which he employs his repertoire to defend. Would be applause, for instance, if there is a street protest to support stoning of gays and lesbians? Of course, the street cannot become a decider. But for Bhanu who has cerebral anathema to Modi, he does not mind embracing violently abusive bunch of street thugs. What if one abuses Bhanu’s mother and sister in most cussedly figuratively terms, would he defend their right to dissent? @pbmehta

Like many words of advantage, India’s academics and intellectuals don’t want to define what constitute dissent. Uncouth, rude, expletives-riddled statement have been recognised as a form of dissent. Sad to see boys and girls who just grow out of nappies abusing PM. It also shows the political climate has normalised boorishness. Perversity has replaced political arguments. Things will go down from here.

THE GOLD MEDAL WINNING MOMENT! 🥹 - Mirabai Chanu lifts 105kg in Clean & Jerk & breaks the Games Record! 🔥🔥🔥

The generation that has unbridled access to information turned out to be most clueless. Some of them take being uncouth in public for boldness and naivety as dissent. The Left would never succeed politically but its divisive ideas capsuled in academic terms would continue to haunt us. Conservative ideas which talk of coherent society have always been seen as unattractive to youth. Left looks for fault lines and the state must not do anything that would widen the chasm.

The govt needs sharp, articulated spokespersons. Speeches in the legislature is not good enough. Party spokies are not good enough. TV debates don’t fix narratives.

For over two weeks watched many videos of protest at Jantar Mantar. But not one video of a NEET student protesting there landed on my TL.

Muslim League leader Abdul Halim Ghuznavi received a telegram (1932) while he was attending the second round table conference. It was sent by orthodox Hindus of Bengal (Ghuznavi area - Mymensingh, is now in Bangladesh). They requested Ghuznavi to raise voice against the proposed temple entry agitation of depressed classes and impress upon the British leaders about it. These Hindus were ready to allow Muslims to enter a temple but not their caste brethren. Dr Ambedkar opined that orthodox elements of Muslims and Hindus coming together to deny dignity to lower castes was a grave warning. Mynensingh, alongside Naokhali was the worst affected area in the 1946 Great Calcutta killing. .

Almost 150 minutes of the match and the score is 1-0, it does in normal course tells that the game was hard fought. But it was a onesided affair. Spain outplayed and outpaced Argentina. The winner possessed the ball almost 70 per cent of the time and the loser could not get a single direct kick to the goal post. Spain managed to pass the goalie thrice, one off side, another called foul and the third the winner.

Very perilous idea. Remember the sword doesn’t cut one way.

As RaGa talks Supriya Sule takes down note. Must salute her diligence, with one foot in the NDA.

When Dr Ambedkar reached Pune in May 1932 after the second Round Table conference, he was taken out in a procession. The car in which he travelled had a huge saffron flag with Om inscribed on it. Yet the orthodox elements opposed his visit. Better they should have minded his words at the London conference where he had emphatically said that what he was demanding was betterment of Hindu society as a whole. In his reply Gandhi said he would prefer untouchables converting to Islam and Christianity rather than agreeing with Ambedkar.

@aashtthaa The so-called elite RWs are the biggest pushers of LW agenda on SM.

RW and nationalist accounts spend all day reacting to the LW. No wonder the opposition sets the narrative, while India's achievements and positive stories barely get any attention. In these two pics, Arvind mentioned just one month’s achievements of India. At least now they should wake up and start posting pro-India content instead of wasting time countering the LW, communists and foreign journalists..

Kharge and RaGa are bowling a full toss to Modi. He will hit them out of stadium. @narendramodi sir my book - India’s Rogue Historians has lots of ammunition against the Congress party, right from threat to impeach a sitting CJI to persistently asking the SC to postpone hearing the appeals in the Ayodhya case.

If any book you should read and pass on to the next generation - its lessons and experiences, so they become a good Hindu let it be Dhananjay Keer’s book, Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar: Life & Mission.
