THAT Kashmir is an
 internationally recognized dispute Is an UNDENIABLE
 historical fact.
 AS THINGS STAND AT THE MOMENT, India’s mighty
 military power can’t change it.
 No movement loses
 its legitimacy because of sham elections being held in Kashmir.

I know the #COVID-19 numbers in India are not looking good, but here are my (not so) random thoughts on it

We have 2 options – one, rant & rail against the ‘system’ and lament how it has let us down; second, do whatever we can to avoid getting infected & if infected, minimize adverse consequences to ourselves & others. If you belong to the first, you can stop reading now

How can we avoid getting infected? There’s no magic bullet, I’m afraid. This is primarily a “stick to the basics” approach. More difficult than it sounds.

First, maintain all precautions that we know help. These include masks (whenever you are not at home and not alone), physical distancing to the extent possible, and washing hands frequently. The 3 Ws – Wear a mask, Watch your distance, Wash your hands.

Masks work, and are probably the most important precaution given our current understanding that aerosols are the predominant mechanism of spread. The best is a well-fitting N95 mask, which is now widely available & not too expensive – you could re-use them too.

"Narendra Modi declared as the most popular world leader" (a short thread). Recently, an image started doing rounds where Modi was pronounced as the most popular world leader. Let me tell you how it happened. (1/n)

This is the image that is being used by most of the BJP followers to beat their chest. But something very interesting caught my eye when I tried to go into the details of how of it. (2/n)

The survey was done by a US based company called Morning Consult who boasts of their political intelligence and analysis.

So Morning Consult says it has millions of users to interview and a revolutionary system to analyse the data. It tells us that any survey this company does should be taken as the Gospel.

Now remember the world population as of Jun 13, 2020 was 7.5 Billion. Remember it because we will need this info later.

Bollywood is just a bubble of privileged, tone-deaf hypocrites. You think criticising Modi is activism? You can't even call out a director accused of #metoo. What happened to your political correctness and feminism? Is it only limited to gaslighting Dalits? Shows your hypocrisy

Secondly, if you read history, you will find that Dalits would have a broom attached to their backs by UC rulers so that the land would not be polluted. By portraying a Dalit politician holding a broom, you are glorifying the stereotype of casteist jobs which our ancestors fought

Thirdly, using a casteist slur like untouchable is not clever wordplay by any means. It is just dehumanizing and constitutionally banned. We were outcasts who were not allowed to even touch the same places as UCs. If you don't know our history, don't misuse it. Unlearn casteism

Moreover, the director of the movie is Subhash Kapoor, a man accused of sexual assault. It baffles me how all of Bollywood has shown their casteism in targeting Dalits for criticising the misleading portrayal of themselves, but no one has pointed a finger at the sexual molestor!

Bollywood is just a bubble of privileged, tone-deaf hypocrites. You think criticising Modi is activism? You can't even call out a director accused of #MeToo . What happened to your political correctness and feminism? Is it only limited to gaslighting Dalits? Shows your hypocrisy
