BJP is using Shaheen Bagh to propagate communal polarization before elections and unfortunately this has always worked for them historically. Because of constant Godi Media + IT Cell propaganda, I’ve come to know from credible ground reports that protests are backfiring badly.

Don’t forget that the amazing women never showed up at any Bagh to protest against the deeply discriminatory Muslim Personal Law. But they are out 2 stop the Hindu & Sikh refugees from getting citizenship. Whose instruments are these amazing women ?.

Telegraph India reports that outrage on the Supreme Court contempt verdict on Prashant Bhushan came all from common citizens. Then proceeds 2 name the common citizens outraging -Salman Anees Soz, Irfan Habib,Suhas Palsikar, Ram Chandra Guha. Irony any one?

Shuvendu Adhikari ran an unapologetically Hindu Bengali campaign in Nandigram. He has a strong base there too. He defeated Mamata, while Mamata’s stooges won everywhere else. There is a huge lesson for BJP here. The Bengali part would be missing in the campaign of any1 from RSS.

Not sure enough people are noticing this trend. The support for a civilizational move is powered by commoners who use their mothertongue as their medium. Opposition comes from elite & invaders who express in imposed languages (Urdu, English). Huge lesson 👇.

No animal rights organization chose to take a stand against the murder of the puppies in front of their wailing dog mother, as part of “political” violence in West Bengal. What was the dog’s politics or religion ? The mother won’t get justice just like Aditi the elephant.

Inordinate media focus on Left Vs Right battles have taken eye off larger, more important issues- student protests, #CAA #NRC - counterproductive in my view. These issues have nothing to do with Left vs Right student politics. They are about the constitution & nationhood.

PM Modi in Ladakh brings in the analogy of Sri Krishna to motivate India. One of the main reasons he has India's trust is his messaging is Indic. This I am afraid Cong & left doesn't get. Their symbolisms are all from Europe (eg, Hitler to denote evil).

Mamata is a mediocre politician. She wins massive victories only due 2 the absence of legit opposition.Its juvenile 2 boycott the meeting with PM, likely because of the presence of Suvendu. Suvendu is the LoP, defeated her in Nandigram.Mature politicians gracefully accept defeats.
