The Social Scientist

If anyone is in banglore and wants to meet, Please DM. I'm around Marathahalli, Whitefield

Someone needs to tell our RW 'Scholars' that breeding Grade-B books and substack articles won't land you in elite academic circles Every week I see a new book on history, left, culture or decolonisation by some unknown author or Anon handle. People can see through the farce

After reading Raj Thackeray's tweets, my respect for Brijbhushan Singh has gone way up. Yes, BBS has a tainted image but the way he stood up against the humiliation of Northies and challenged Thackeray is something I'll always admire. How many Bahubalis have the guts to do it?

I seriously want to know the advisor of Akhilesh Yadav. His communication, personality, strategy and general awareness have noticeably improved and it can't happen naturally on its own. I remember that in 24, he brought some professionals to help with his public speaking.

What a thread on Chhath. Anyone who feels that Chhath is devoid of scriptural authority should check it. Cc: @sanjeevsinghx

Just got to know that a top cricket administrator, who has extensive connections and remains omnipresent is a G@y Man. Heard it from a person who meets him almost on a daily basis. Do I have to say the name?

The Giant has departed but his works, countless articles and influence will keep growing over the years. Nobody wrote more, better and diversely as him

Big Tech companies like Microsoft should be thankful to the Trump administration for saving them from antitrust activists like Lina Khan. ​Had it been a Democratic era, they would have published articles in law reviews and moved ahead with swift action after these outages

After Amit Shah, Prashant Kishor is the second biggest reason behind the rise of Samrat Chaudhary. Chaudhary knows it and that explains the bonhomie between them

Muslims in UP totally love Owaisi and Azam Khan. ​They will come, throng their rallies and show massive support. ​But when it comes to voting, they will follow, "पहले अपना भाई, फिर जे भाजपा के हराई और अंतिम में सपाई।" ​Releasing Azam for a brief time might help to some extent

Anyone who has watched this movie in theaters will agree that as Ravan, Yash outshines Ranbir's portrayal of Lord Ram. Apart from acting and screen presence, this was also due to the script. Like Padmavat where Ranveer dominated the screen presence.

Whoever thinks that BJP can sustain on its own after Yogi's defeat is living in peak delusion. People should spend some time in villages, towns across the North India and just gather views of ordinary Bjp supporters. Transactional supporters like Bhimtas won't win you elections

Whenever I listen to Sakshi Maharaj, I wish that Shri Prakash Shukla had succeeded in his last mission. We thought these leaders were above caste consciousness, but nah, they are just saffron wearing backwards.

Some small time influencers who were always anti-BJP are openly showing their true colors before the 2027 elections. ​Airing grievances before elections is a legitimate act (did a lot in 24) but openly batting for SP/Congress isn't dissent. It's grade A doglapan

Yogi has confirmed what we were all saying during the UP SIR exercise. ​SP voters were at the forefront and the BJP suffered in the initial phases. Later, some course correction was done but generally, BJP voters were trimmed from the list. ​A necessary blackpill before 27

UP might be the only BJP ruled state where ministers openly patronize the journalists who spew 24×7 venom against the Chief Minister. Take any name and I'll show you links/tweets of BJP leaders with them. And please don't say that it's normal in politics

I'm putting the latest available data on this issue. See and check for yourself. No wonder Government is stepping back on Agniveer issue before the state elections in PB, UK, HP @real_mahalingam
