SHAMEFUL.... Sad that Right wing goons there are doing exactly what we back home do to minorities during festivities.... Condemn attack on the Hindu community celebrating in Seattle.
HAPPENING NOW: Absolutely chaotic scene as conservative activists Jake Lang and Thomas Allen storm a Diwali Hindu celebration at the Seattle Center Armory.
They held signs that read, "Deport All Dot Heads" and "Stop Hindu Replacement of Christians."
I just spoke to both men who say they are concerned about American culture being overrun by false idol worshippers and H1-B fraudsters.
Lang and Allen say they will be targeting other locations in the city this weekend.
They have yet to announce details of their plans due to possible retaliation by Antifa and other far-left activists.
Stay tuned.

For years I kept these memories to myself. Some were too painful to speak of, others too precious. In Belonging, I have finally written them down.

.@narendramodi @PemaKhanduBJP, stop pushing the Siang dam project over the objections of the people of Arunachal Pradesh!
Their land, rivers and futures cannot be decided over their heads.

I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

Haha imaginary people never fails to amuse me, calling our people ‘Chinese agent’ over and over again, these North Indians will never stop until they make us a ‘Chinese citizen’.
Chinese govt you should have taken us with you, why did you leave us behind with this stinky people ?
Once Indian govt declare yes You guys can go , am ready to go with China ! I guess these North Indian people will be the happiest people on earth ,if we are with China, they don’t want us to be with India , as if we love being with them! Haakkk thuuuuu!

Siang Dam protests have brought out a side of Northeast Indian leadership that mainland India rarely gets to witness.

"Being diverse is a good thing... being divisive is not. India is a beautiful painting... if you remove even one colour, the painting is no longer a painting." – @iamsrk
On November 2nd, @YasminKidwai shared this clip from her documentary Filmisthaan: The Euphoric State of Bollywood. Within 24 hours, it had over 1 million views, thousands of shares, and 5,000+ comments celebrating secularism and harmony.
Then @Meta removed it without warning, claiming that a message of unity "disturbs peace." A message celebrating India's pluralism is labeled "dangerous," while hate speech runs unchecked every single day.
The Ministry of External Affairs commissioned this film. Meta took it down. What was it protecting us from: the Constitution? If this is the algorithm at work, it's broken. If it's political appeasement, that's worse.
What's so offensive about secularism, @Meta?
We will not let corporate censorship dictate which stories get

There’s more reason coming to cheer! Israel is next most probably!
A mass murderer has been running to stick on with that chair.
Dictators’ time is over.

This temple is encroachment, majoritarian assertion, a dent to the aesthetics of Char Minar, and forced tweaking of history all in one.

I am truly startled and saddened to learn of #SanjayGupta's passing. He was too young to go, and the news of his death is unsettling.
I first met Sanjay over two decades back when he came to Delhi with the cast of Kaante and I interviewed them for my newspaper. (Contd)

The #PublicImpeachment of CEC GyaneshKumar has begun! The National Anthem, followed by a powerful speech by presiding officer @meira_kumar, and now @incIndia President @kharge weighs in with a ferocious indictment. A full lawn in listening mode. I am alongside fellow LokSabha MP @KirtiAzaad of @AITCofficial
#Manipur Needs our attention. The madness needs to stop
Wow congratulations @Nidhi 🩷🩷🩷 wish you both a lifetime of happiness and joy. @OmarAbdullah
