Kid: Who demolished Kashi Vishwanath mandir? Mummy: Pata Nahin. Kid: Who destroyed the Somnath mandir? How many times? Mummy: Pata Nahin. Pata Nahin. The kid grew up and discovered Sita Ram Goel, Arun Shourie, Harsh Narain, Jay Dubashi, and Ram Swarup's book Hindu Temples: What Happened to Them. He did not find anything funny about it.
Some years later: Kid (looking at Taj Mahal): Who built this? Mummy: Pata Nahin. Kid (looking at Lal Qila): Wow! Who built this? Mummy: Pata Nahin Next day, Kid meets his friends and tell them that he saw Taj Mahal and Lal qila built by Pata Nahin😂

This judicial idiot doesn't understand that going to Mandir, Dargahs, and Gurudwaras does not make him "secular." Visiting "religious" places is a "religious" act. What should be "secular" is their equal treatment in his jurisprudence. He does not accord that equal treatment. Also, if he doesn't go to these places out of reverence, perhaps he shouldn't go.

Someone told me that my comments were misrepresented on social media" SG TUSHAR MEHTA : "I have known you for over a decade, and I am aware of your visits to temples" CJI GAVAI : "I have visited dargahs and gurdwaras too" SG TUSHAR MEHTA: "Now every action faces a disproportionate social media reaction" KAPIL SIBAL : "We suffer every day; it’s an unruly horse, with no way to tame it" CJI GAVAI : "In Nepal, too, it happened that way" 😳

A year ago, we discovered through the TwitterFiles expose that The Wire, an Indian news portal, had collected a list of 40,000 Twitter (now X) users. The Wire forwarded this list to Twitter, asking them to deplatform these users for being "Hindu nationalist" and BJP supporters. Many of these 40,000 Twitter users were US Citizens.

There was/is a reason no Indian made “Slumdog Millionaire.” It was an Orientalist project, not an Indian one. Indians now make RRR.
Danny Boyle would not direct "Slumdog Millionaire" today because of "cultural appropriation" and "I’d be looking for a young Indian filmmaker to shoot it." “We wouldn’t be able to make that now. And that’s how it should be. It’s time to reflect on all that. We have to look at the cultural baggage we carry and the mark that we’ve left on the world... At the time it felt radical. We made the decision that only a handful of us would go to Mumbai. We’d work with a big Indian crew and try to make a film within the culture. But you’re still an outsider. It’s still a flawed method. That kind of cultural appropriation might be sanctioned at certain times. But at other times it cannot be. I mean, I’m proud of the film, but you wouldn’t even contemplate doing something like that today. It wouldn’t even get financed. Even if I was involved, I’d be looking for a young Indian filmmaker to shoot it.” Read more here:

You work in the Religious Studies department (South Asia), but I see no mention of Hindu or Hinduism in your bio. Not even India.
Springer just published a Handbook of Indian History. It doesn’t have a single chapter on Islam or Muslims. The word Islam appears 5 times, the word Muslim 9 times, in a 507 page book. Is this negligence or a Hindutva-zation of South Asian Studies? Either way, it’s outrageous.
Community note
The book at Springer (pdf version) contains the word Muslim 51 times and Islam 55 times. This post is not true. Mentions in the book: Muslim: 51 Islam: 55 Sikh: 31 Jain: 338 Buddhist: 267 Hindu: 459 Zoroastrian: 1 Jewish: 1 Christian: 36 link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9

Remember when @NPR’s Furkan Khan tweeted this about Hindus?
A senior BBC employee has branded Jewish people “Nazis” and white people “parasites” in a string of social media posts. The BBC has been informed of statements made online by Dawn Queva, who is a scheduling coordinator at BBC Three. Posts made on her Facebook page include calling Jewish people “Nazi apartheid parasites” that funded a “holohoax”. Ms Queva’s post made numerous references to the supposed origins of the Jewish people, claiming that they are not truly Jewish, but a “synagogue of Satan cabal calling themselves “JeWISH”. One post claims that the Rothschild family “funded their own holohoax”, and another that Israel is attempting to “forcibly permanently sterilise black women without their knowledge or consent”. @antisemitism @AntisemitismEye telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/02…

Zohran Mamdani’s well-known anti-Semitism and socialist credentials aren’t the only aspects of his character. What is less widely known is his alleged “hateful” attitudes towards Hindus. His opposition to the Bhagwan Ram Temple in Ayodhya ji, his support to Khalistani separatists in the US, his opposition to India's CAA, using the Hindutva moniker, etc., all point to the fact that he is willing to peddle his anti-Hindu biases to embolden his left-socialist credentials. He can also get away with it because, unlike anti-semitism and "Islamophobia," there is no political cost to anti-Hindu bigotry in the US. Link in the thread. 1/2

OCI is a lifelong visa for non-Indian citizens of Indian origin.

India also does not have dual citizenship. Accept the fact that you are a foreigner in India and have no right whatsoever to a visa in a foreign country.
IMPORTANT NOTE - I received a cancellation of my #OCI (Overseas Citizenship of #India) *today* after arriving home. A bad faith, vindictive, cruel example of #TNR (transnational repression) punishing me for scholarly work on anti-minority & anti-democratic policies of #Modi rule.

India isn’t run by Canadian “rule of law” where Nazis are honored in the parliament and terrorists are sheltered. India has its own laws and own constitution and they are not beholden to Canadian, or for that matter Western, whims.
YouTube is blocking access in India to a story by CBC's The Fifth Estate on the alleged contract killing of a Canadian Sikh separatist after the Indian government ordered the social media platform to take that action. cbc.ca/news/canada/india-fif…

It’s a well-known fact. Many of India’s top-notch journalists, academicians, think tankers, bureaucrats, etc., were part of the Fai Network operated by Syed Ghulam Nabi Faiz, a Pakistani American. 1/2

What’s worse, they are creating an inhospitable environment for Indians in general and Hindus in particular in foreign lands by their biased and bigoted writing. For example, hate crimes are rising against Hindus in the US. dailyo.in/politics/hate-crim…
The communalisation of India is by Indians who defame India and Indians by their perverted articles in @washingtonpost @nytimes @NewYorker @Reuters @BBCWorld to an audience who do not know India. Indians live here, know India better than Lutyens Media Delhi Anchors

Horrific Humboldt Park shooting in #Chicago last night. Can’t believe that Chicago’s #CityCouncil was discussing and voting on India’s #CAA just a couple of months ago when it cannot provide the basic safety and security to its own residents.

Sit down, Brookings fellow.
India has become a massive refinery for Russian oil. That'd be fine if Russian oil went to India on Western ships operating under the G7 cap, but lots of this oil gets shipped on Putin's shadow fleet, which means India is helping fund Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This must stop.
