Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 2 (Mar 2018 - )

If you look at it the BIFs have actually succeeded in their plan to abuse the word bhakt by making even Indics use it non-nonchalantly now. I am known to bite people's heads off if they use that 'B' word in front of me. We need to stand up for ourselves. Black Americans call each other with the 'N'...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 2 (Mar 2018 - )

Here's something weird. I first saw a tweet by an RW that claimed NaMo govt has banned the import of Oxytocin because it is misused by human traffickers to make girls achieve puberty faster. Sounded a bit unbelievable. Hence I asked Google chacha. Found this Reuters (and assorted DDM) reports on the...

Social media manipulation and trend management of Kathua incident Based on one of the comments in the blog, he may have got the causal incident wrong. He says the tweet storm started RaGa's Fast(-one) failed. One of the reader points out that the chargesheet was filed on April 9th. However, a "jour...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 2 (Mar 2018 - )

What is the deal with Tripura CM farting away despite Modi warning to BJP leaders to watch it? Not defending him, but we have to consider the possibility that the media is (forgive my gross expression) deliberately holding the microphone to amplify his farts. Many CMs have made silly/stupid stateme...

95% superstition. The other 5% is to make sure BJP does not get arrogant or complacent :)

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 2 (Mar 2018 - )

From the ground.. I was doubtful..but last few days it appears BJP is gaining edge, at least in North and NE Karnataka. RamMadhav has been assigned a few districts in this region. Similarly central BJP office bearers have been alloted districts. With such big wigs taking on responsibilities for few...

Higher fuel prices when sustained will lead to inflation. Who does that affect the most? The poor of course. Petrol/Diesel prices are one of the several inputs into the price index of commodities.

There are many such pictures originating from some Peaceful Twitter and FB accounts. They are all fake. Basically took harmless plain T-shirt pictures and wrote the text in those.

I think the damage is real and substantial. The Unnao and Kathua cases have created a deep belief in (at least South) Indian women that BJP is protecting the culprits because of religion.
