Very few Indians know that India played a major role in the making of the UN's UDHR-the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which is the globally abiding principle for Human Rights now.

@Schandillia @amolbachhav93 Those who dont have a present...talk about the past.

Indians have this super cringe habit of going into a history drivel on any question about the present. No matter what, always it’s “in 1947 this,” “in 1857 that,”…talk about the time at hand man. 🤦🏽‍♂️

@pbhushan1 What is their stance on minority rights? On communalism? On hate speech?

The Cockroach Janta Party has acquired >10.3M followers on Instagram in 4 days, more than BJP. It has promise if steered wisely & imaginatively. It must of course raise Neet paper leak & seek accountability of Dharmendra Pradhan. But time to demand a right to Employment law. All people between 21 & 60 must have the right to be employed at least on minimum wages, failing which they must receive unemployment allowance

Anjana Om Kashyam , Roohbika Liyaqat and Chitra Tripathi combined shows on NEET paper leak : 00 Anjana Om Kashyam , Roohbika Liyaqat and Chitra Tripathi combined shows on Modi giving Melody to Meloni : 57 in 8 hours. Unbelievable.

hope the online lynching by indian rw for daring to ask indian PM and bureucracy a question on indian human rights will tell u a lot about the press freedom in india. :)

@sidhant @AmbSibiGeorge 12 minutes to give a non answer. What a bore.

Full blown clash at MEA presser as reporter asks "why should India be trusted". MEA's Secy West @AmbSibiGeorge responds by India's role in providing global help during Covid, India's constitution, fundamental rights. The reporter leaves the presser, then later comes back.

@sidhant @AmbSibiGeorge What on earth is he droning on and on about?. Shes asking about human rights and trust. Hes answering about covid, g20 etc etc and then says it's his press conference.!! Wow!

One journalist @HelleLyngSvends compares the Indian media to Saudi Arabia and Cuba, and all hell breaks loose. Let me go one step further. Our media — the Godi media — is worse than Radio Rwanda. We have anchors against whom cases related to inciting riots have been registered. We have an anchor who actually did a show on “15 types of Jihad” based on a WhatsApp forward. Former Chief Justice of India Bobde had said during the Tablighi Jamaat case that our media had misused the freedom of expression. The entire propaganda surrounding Tablighi Jamaat was false — built on lies — and that is what our media has become: a riot-mongering machine and a sycophant of the BJP. The problem is that we live in a country where the industrialists who own most television channels and the BJP appear to have reached an understanding that no serious questions will be asked of the BJP or the Prime Minister. Anybody questioning the BJP is labelled anti-national. This is the reality of modern India under BJP. So let us accept the fact that the press in India is in an abysmal condition and freedom of expression is in the doldrums. Let us also not forget that India ranks 157th when it comes to press freedom. Raids are conducted against NDTV and once the ownership changes hands all the cases are withdrawn . HW news , Newsclick, Quint is raided. Digital platforms are removed without any transparency and the Govt has to eat humble pie in the court( 4PM news network) Courts pass ex parte orders based on the application of an industrialist and all shows are ordered to be removed. You call this freedom of press ? Are you aware of what the broadcast bill is and what it aims to achieve? Stop this charade and stop looking for conspiracy theories everytime someone's asks Modi ji a question.

@flyingbackk @IndiainNorway @HelleLyngSvends Hehe. Thats exactly what that journalist wanted. A reply

@IndiainNorway @HelleLyngSvends Why would you cater to her ? Why do we need gora validation when they don't need our validation ? Why do they think they have some kind of moral supremacy over us ? They continue to harass us with their negative propaganda! I hope the PM gives a befitting reply !

Dear Ms @HelleLyngSvends, The Embassy is organizing a press briefing on the Prime Minister’s Visit this evening at 9:30pm at hotel Raddisson BluPlaza hotel. You are most welcome to come and ask your questions there.

@FabulasGuy @IndiainNorway @HelleLyngSvends He was there. We saw the video

@IndiainNorway @HelleLyngSvends Looks like she probably won’t come now. The planted-question game is over, because she spoke only after the PM had left. Maybe she now realizes that in a real press conference, she would get real answers, so she may not be ready for that anymore.

For Tax exemption BCCI becomes a Govt entity For RTI , BCCI becomes a private Entity Peak Hypocrisy!!

@amiysharma @akanksha_sahay @Benarasiyaa Neither of us know anything apart from the woman.s death. But even if true neither extramarital affair nor abortion means u can murder someone.

@akanksha_sahay @no_oneton @Benarasiyaa Bastard..its sucide not murder...She herself admitted she got abortion without consent of husband

"Papa se naak ragadva ke maafi mangwana chahta hai" This nightmare ended in the most tragic way possible - with the death of Twisha Sharma, a young woman from Noida who had married into a powerful Bhopal family just five months ago. Now, even as their daughter’s body lies in the morgue, her family is fighting tooth and nail for justice.

@the_hindu Why on earth did he get it.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi was conferred Sweden's highest honour for a Head of Government, the Royal Order of the Polar Star, making it his 31st international honour. 🎥: PTI #PMModi #Sweden

@amiysharma @Benarasiyaa U dont have a married daughter do u? Father's of daughter are willing to say sorry to anyone to ensure the safety and happiness of their daughter. My dad wld.

@Benarasiyaa Trust me eventually fact will come out...This is case of adultery and extra martial affairs...Papa sorry bolne ko ready hai means kuch to galat kiya hi hoga...And abortion ki kahani mein kuch to hai

ED FILES: After raiding and arresting AAP politicians in Punjab, ED raids now on in Delhi and Goa on individuals and premises linked to AAP . Note: Punjab and Goa go to polls in next round of elections. Meanwhile those caught on tape accepting money have no ED worries having switched to the ‘right’ side at the ‘right ‘ time! WASHING MACHINE politics anyone?🙏

Lolz. Loving this novel way of protest

जोधपुर में दो बहनों ने गैंगरेप से परेशान होकर आत्महत्या कर ली, पूरा मामला ऐसा है 👇 बड़ी बहन को महिपाल नाम के आदमी ने अपने प्रेम जाल में फंसाया. फिर उसका अश्लील वीडियो बना लिया. इसके बाद महिला को ब्लैकमेल कर महिपाल और उसके 6 दोस्त रेप करने लगे. करीब 4 साल तक ये चला. इस बीच वीडियो वायरल करने के नाम पर महिला से पैसे भी वसूले गए. ब्लैकमेलिंग और शोषण से परेशान महिला ने 20 मार्च को फांसी लगा ली. इसके बाद महिला की छोटी बहन मुकदमा लिखवाने पुलिस के चक्कर काटने लगी. वहीं, महिपाल और गैंग अब छोटी बहन को वीडियो वायरल कर समाज में परिवार की छवि खराब करने की धमकी देने लगे. महिपाल और गैंग ने वीडियो डिलीट करने के बहाने छोटी बहन को बुलाया, और उसका भी गैंगरेप किया. छोटी बहन ने 11 अप्रैल को पुलिस में शिकायत दर्ज करा दी, लेकिन कोई खास एक्शन नहीं हुआ. उल्टा महिपाल और उसके दोस्त छोटी बहन को धमकाते रहे कि पुलिस उनके साथ है, उनका कुछ नहीं बिगड़ेगा. इससे तंग आकर छोटी बहन जहर खाकर पानी की टंकी पर चढ़ गई. जब तक अस्पताल ले जाते, उसकी मौत हो गई. इस तरह 2 महीने से कम वक्त में 2 बहनों ने गैंगरेप की वजह से आत्महत्या कर ली.

Vande bharat train going from dehradun to lucknow-- service employees in executive class coach asking for tips by going from passenger to passenger. Pathetic. @RailMinIndia

Modi's 12 hour stay in Saudi Arabia cost 15 crore of taxpayers money ..of which 12 crore was hotel bill.. Source : RTI

@gauravsabnis Thats been the standard question of bhakts for long

Argument with an elder cousin today "What's the alternative if not Modi?" Me: Really? That's the standard now? Who else if not the incumbent?
