Good piece in the current issue of @TIME by @naina_bajekal . “Kashmir was always seen as real estate, not as a place with people” says @NitashaKaul in the piece. A more sinister goal of young Hindu men is to marry “fair skinned” Kashmiri women. Disgusting, I must add. #Kashmir

India had a worldwide reputation as Secular Democratic Republic. In recent years that sterling reputation is showing signs of willful conversation to a fascist and extremist country by the government in power. The exclusion of a Muslim festival in speeches by the PM is testimony.

More than 100,000 Chinese millionaires have moved to Metro Vancouver in recent years. Most of them obtained Canadian citizenship through the scandal-rocked and now shuttered Immigrant Investor Program. It should be without controversy to say that these things are “linked.”

The very day David Johnston was stuffing his face at a banquet with Xi Jinping in Beijing was the day, the very moment, the regime killed the beloved dissident Liu Xiaobo. The very fucking moment.

The international media and governments must expose human rights abuses and violations in the Modi led government. India should not be allowed to get away with religious persecution and intolerance. India is veering towards fascism. Secularism and democracy must return.

A couple in Uttar Pradesh, India reportedly cancelled their wedding just because they differed on their outlook towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi. While one member held the PM responsible for India's economic slowdown, the other disagreed.

The Sikhs are one of the hardest working people, adventurous, they fought in WWII and many other battles, pre-independence, the British recognized their sterling qualities and recruited them to serve in the defence forces in India, they are also in the Canadian, British forces.

India under Modi has moved far from what freedom fighters under Gandhi had envisaged about it. It is not Gandhi’s ideals which governs India anymore, Savarkar’s ‘Bunch of Thoughts’ has taken over as the guiding spirit of Modi’s New India. ⁦ @ashoswai ⁩

Journalism is a unique profession, a combination of talents, communication, written, verbal, objectivity, clarity of thought, presentation skills, surviving hardship in conflict zones, empathy, and composure. Good journalists develop over time. Ageism has no place in journalism.

@ashoswai I continue to be amazed by the continued gaslighting by the current Indian Government, with the leader as the loudest mouthpiece. Who are they trying to fool, the poor rural folk who are easy to hoodwink in return for promises which are seldom, if ever, fulfilled? Five planes!

When I came to Canada as a landed immigrant, I was told that I was free to call everyone except the very elderly public personalities by their first names. It was a breath of fresh air. Indians who have settled in Canada, continue to demand being addressed as Sir or Ma’am. Why?

In the past, I seldom attracted hordes of trolls from India, but the spat between Canada and India, has turned me into a “magnet” for attacks! Yippee! However, please be careful, I block, report, and expose your intellectual deficiencies, so you attack me at your own risk. Ciao!

Misinformation is a challenge globally, but in India, it’s practically baked into the ruling party’s communications. It’s why @zoo_bear , & @free_thinker Sinha, formed @AltNews which debunks false information with meticulous documentation. @soniafaleiro

Modi does not even pretend as the leader of a secular country. He sees himself and overtly acts like a king of a Hindu Kingdom. Ayodhya event, its projection in Indian media ignored the fact that India has 2 million Covid19 cases. ⁦ @ashoswai ⁩
