@DilliDurAst The philosophy here can be summarized as : "If you can't get out, then dig deeper."

So, what's the real purpose of NRC? I think it is a devious scheme to disenfranchise Indian citizens. If you aren't a citizen, you can't vote. Control the voters list, and be in power indefinitely with minimal cost. @DilliDurAst @sanjayuvacha @VakashaS

@DrNikhil_P_B While I would readily agree that IAC was formed to help Modi win in 2014, and also that AAP's campaign in LS'14 helped Modi, I am not convinced that AK himself was complicit in deliberately doing this. Look at the pattern of stonewalling AAP's bills/ initiatives by the BJP and its LGs, persecution & disqualification of its MLAs .Does it add up?@omairahmad @DilliDurAst @Memeghnad @imMAK02 @ikaveri @IrenaAkbar @rupagulab @sanjayuvacha @SidrahDP @nikhil_thatte @Deepsealioness

@DrNikhil_P_BSure, he may have been aware ; that might also partially explain why he helped form a party. Besides, of course, the challenge from INC to democratically ensure the Jan Lokpal Bill was brought to fruition. Discrediting the movt was done by Anna, Ramdev, Kiran et al. , not by AK and others like PB Sir/YY Sir, who tried to take it to conclusion. @omairahmad @DilliDurAst @Memeghnad @imMAK02 @ikaveri @IrenaAkbar @rupagulab @sanjayuvacha @SidrahDP @nikhil_thatte @Deepsealioness

Let's agree to disagree and make progress ; our nation is more important than any single party. Money in politics, especially black money, is the biggest problem of our times, as evidenced by the electoral bonds expose. What do you think we should do? The best way of fighting their black money is with our white money, IMHO. #2024Challenge @DrNikhil_P_B @omairahmad @DilliDurAst @Memeghnad @imMAK02 @ikaveri @IrenaAkbar @rupagulab @sanjayuvacha @SidrahDP @nikhil_thatte @Deepsealioness

@varkychen @prasanna_s I'd say they understand enough about ROI to know they can make 100x as a politician with none of the messiness.

So, Ma'am, I am looking to hire some crazies, and you seem to fit the bill. Money in politics, especially black money, is the biggest problem of our times, as evidenced by the electoral bonds expose. What do you think we should do? The best way of fighting their black money is with our white money, IMHO. I challenge you to take up the#2024Challenge @ranjona

I can never forgive Pragya Thakur. So, I'll appoint her to the Parliamentary Panel on Defence.

With nationalists like this, who needs anti-nationalists? Anyway, no amount of BS is going to deflect attention from Mr. Modi's incompetence as a PM. https://www.telegraphindia.com/india/pragya-thakur-refers-to-nathuram-godse-as-partiot-in-lok-sabha/cid/1722457

Do read Part 4 of the expose by @nit_set@mstdn, building on @poonamjourno 's earlier work, that establishes that electoral bonds are not anonymous at all. Nitin, Small feedback : the implication of traceability is that the scheme of electoral bonds disproportionately favours the RULING party; this aspect should have come out more clearly and forcefully in the article. Awesome work. https://www.huffingtonpost.in/entry/bjp-anonymous-donors-electoral-bonds-state-bank-of-india-narendra-modi-arun-jaitley_in_5dcf7239e4b01f982f022b85

With NRC/CAB on us, it is clear that our much-vaunted constitutional values aren't directly invoking the necessary response from the public. Thus, I'd ask that we broaden the coverage of the scope of the impact to cover the current economic scenario. No lies, just truths. 1. Why give an open invitation for neighbouring countries to send illegal immigrants to India? Does it make any difference if your job is stolen by a Bangladeshi or Nepali Hindu , vs a Bangladeshi Muslim? 2. Who is ..

2. Who is to say that a Buddhist from Nepal is actually from Nepal ? Could well be from China. Already Chinese goods have invaded India, now why invite their people over as well? Look forward to articles on the economic pivot ; there may be more pivots. All in all, I think we should focus on pivots that people can immediately relate to, and evoke a threat-response.@poonamjourno @ranjona @ashlinpmathew @DilliDurAst @Memeghnad @smrutibombay @SujataAnandan @MitaliSaran @nit_set

BJP is donating billions of dollars to Russia, Bhutan, Mongolia, Srilanka, Maldives etc., What is the BJP's "nation"? It doesn't seem to be India.

The community-name poll is over, and the winner is... Bhakts!Just kidding ; the winner is "Tuskies" . However, it has since emerged that there were a couple of existing terms for the community, like "Mastonaut" and "Fedizen", so I've asked admins to clarify as appropriate here: https://mastodon.social/web/statuses/103159504417265748@Deepsealioness @jamewils @dearthofsid @prasanna_s @AdvManoj @sanjayuvacha @Memeghnad @ranjona @ranasafvi
