“The powerful can kill one, two, or even one hundred roses. But they will never stop the arrival of spring.” What a guy. What a guy. What a guy.

Congratulations to Lula on his extraordinary reelection victory in the Brazilian presidential election. Lula has stood up for Brazilian workers & democracy — and will continue to do so in the next four years.

Mamdani has done more than any politician in recent memory to advance the visibility of Hinduism in America. It’s beautiful to see. And it is a recipe others can replicate — Embrace diversity, steer far clear of Hindutva, and joyfully & openly participate.
This week, I was blessed to join Hindu New Yorkers in Queens celebrating Navratri, Durga Puja, Dashain, and Vijayadashami.  We danced garba, performed aarti, witnessed Sindoor Khela, and honored the Goddess Durga. It was an honor to come together in joy, faith, and community in temples across our city — especially after the attempted mass shooting at a Hindu temple in Illinois last week. May we all join together in our shared responsibility to stand against hate and care for one another. Jai Mata Ki.

Modi government must tell us whether Hardeep Singh Puri's now proven "foreign hand" and "foreign angle" vis-a-vis Epstein deserves a resignation. Asli foreign hand toh yaha he fraands!

Why we need to clean up the present system. Our country is in grave danger.
WATCH | Dear Indians, this is how local body elections are being conducted in Andhra Pradesh. She is former AP Health Minister and YSRCP leader @vidadalarajini. This is how the NDA government led by @ncbn is behaving in Andhra Pradesh. Imagine the plight of an ordinary citizen. Democracy in Andhra Pradesh has become a BIG JOKE!

Reports coming in that phone numbers of young protesters are now being barred by the government. Why is Modi so scared of democratic protests? And for how long can such tactics work? Government of India is at war with its own citizens.

Yeah, because forces that should be protecting our borders are being deployed to stop citizens from protesting. Modi is putting national security at risk by using security forces against his own countrymen. The priority should be securing our borders, not turning Delhi into a fortress to suppress peaceful protests.
'Tough to face China now". CLEAR EYED ASSESSMENT BY DG ITBP ON THE GAP BETWEEN INDIA AND CHINA IN CONVENTIONAL MILITARY CAPABILITY. But DG ITBP holds out hope. Says developing Drone capability is an opportunity. Cites Ukraine. DG ITBP Shatrujeet: "To face China through traditional ways would be tough now. Because, China has invested heavily in the modernization of its forces and has moved ahead. But through drones, small nations can fight bigger nations, as we have seen in the Russia-Ukraine and Iran-USA conflicts. Every Day Russia is sacrificing 10000-15000 soldiers every month."

It was Modi who agreed to reduce tariffs on American goods to zero. It was Modi who committed to buying $500 billion worth of American goods. It was Modi who had agreed to stop buying Russian oil because Trump asked him to. But according to some it’s the opposition and CJP who are being controlled by foreign powers.🤦🏻‍♂️

The first priority of the next govt should be to nationalize all Adani assets. Watch this documentary, it will open your eyes.

Akshay, you know very well that Amit Shah is the one giving protection to these gangsters. He is directly responsible for threatening your livelihoods, your family’s safety and your fellow actors in the industry. The more you behave like slaves in front of him, the more he will treat you like trash. But the moment you unite as an industry and take a courageous stand, they will be taken aback. Luckily, you have earned enough money and fame for next 5 generations. This Gunda Raj of dictator will end soon, in a few more years. The only questions is, How will you look back upon this time? What will you tell your grandchildren? That you bowed down in the hope of an illusion of safety? Or you had the guts to show some courage? Take some inspiration from your fellow industry people like Imran Khan and Prakash Raj. I know the whole industry is under a lot of pressure but the sooner we have our country back, the sooner you and your fellow actors can have the good old freedom and peace again :)
