Welcome to hell, Bengal

@Ssaniya_ Haan ye acchha hai, voter ko hi gaali do🤡

Bengal voters saw Uttar Pradesh, Assam and other BJP-ruled states. Read the reports on hate crimes, communalism and safety and still backed the BJP. Unbelievable how people dig their own grave.

@tarauk Clutch those pearls a little harder, please.

The last time outsiders took over Calcutta, it turned out badly for India.

@monidipadey @SudhanidhiB @sheela2010 They need a taste of their own medicine!

@SudhanidhiB @sheela2010 Very good! An so glad they did it! Break down more!

At Asansol, BJP has chased & vandalized the TMC camps. Massive forces being deployed.

Abbe ganduon acche memes bhejo raat kee stream ke liye.

@kushal_mehra @AmitShah After Uttar Pradesh in 2017 and 2019, this is his biggest badge of honor! A genuine #masterstroke

No one is saying it so let me say it openly. Congratulations @AmitShah ji on Bengal. This is your win sir. Sir maan gaye aapko. Election ladna aap jaante hai. I bow to your electoral genius.

@ShawnBinda Where in Islamabad has he seen Hindu idol worship? 🤣

There is dumb - then there is this quack. ⤵️

@coolguy6t9 @ShawnBinda Colonization wasn't organic change either. :3

@ShawnBinda This isn't civilisation changing organically, it's being forced upon us by powerful corporate interests lobbying governments for cheap labor. Asian economies have grown purely out of exploitation.

Comments on this hilarious. We have such a narrow view of history that the ethno-nationalists seem to forget that the majority of the global GDP was driven by 'Asia'. The last 200 years of western domination was not the global norm and some might argue this is a return to the mean. That being said, civilizations continue to change and learn from each other. Western Civilizations have their pros and cons. What we need to stop is trying to pit groups against each other and figure out how we live together on this planet.

Good explainer on the Great Nicobar Island youtu.be/jfJIhPSp6f4?si…

@abhijitmajumder Cat will get your tongue, Kalyan babu! Ektu kom bolun. :P

“Amit Shah is a gunda. Gundami is in his blood. He is filthy. He is a billi (cat). He plotted TMC’s end sitting here for 15 days. Come here, we will hang you upside down!” ~ TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee froths at the mouth while effectively accepting defeat.

@ShawnBinda Most Indians themselves don't understand the important social work that RSS does. But it's interesting that this conversation has started among North Americans.

" He firmly rejected the characterization of the RSS as a Hindu cult-like formation. Instead, he described it as an organization engaged in the long-term work of fostering a stable and culturally rooted society, anchored in patriotism." newindiaabroad.com/english/opinio…

@kushal_mehra But pointing that out will bring the "inteleksuals" out from the woodwork who would explain how this is "kalchar" of the state.

Bengal is the most politically violent state of India by a country mile.

@HandleWithDare @kushal_mehra And Direct Action Day happened in Kolkata

@kushal_mehra But godhra happened in gujarat.

🇺🇸 US President Donald Trump: “India is a hellhole.” 🇮🇳 Meanwhile, in India :

@monidipadey That is such a genuine sentiment reflecting in her words.

Journalist: Kaunsa accha kaam kiya tha Modi ji ne ? Protima Sarkar : Oi ja maar-pit kiya tha woh accha laga mujhe (referring to operation Sindoor ) 😆

@kushal_mehra True. For now though, since people are more comfortable consuming YouTube content as compared to books, RW is still able to deliver its intended message to the youth even though it doesn't have enough academia capital at the moment. And that's reflecting in the election results.

@axisofideas If academia pays well then yes.

I'm not discounting any of this. I am largely someone who thinks most people are under read and over opinionated. But then the same me also observes the so called RW winning election after election and even in the educated youth the BJP gets the highest vote. Infact the more educated you the more likely you are to vote for the BJP. So the left wing scholarship is so good that their entire class of tier 2 and tier 3 folks just creates BJP voters.
