The tradition of secularism in India goes back to at least the time of Ashoka, c. 300 BC. By propagating hatred & intolerance against minorities, right-wing groups are damaging this tradition for which India was known.

Rajiv Aggarwal is solely responsible for this joke of public mandate and he needs public wrath as much as possible so that no future harami can do such irresponsible act

Immense sadness with passing of Saibaba. A brave national hero for equality & justice in our land is stolen by a cruel unjust state & an indifferent criminally complicit judiciary. Our best tribute to our comrade is to carry forward his struggle for a just & equal country

Of course, Mr. Modi plays a central role, but I don't think it's only about him, nor do I believe it started in 2014. The general dynamics, architecture, and forces that eventually brought Mr. Modi to power are older. I think modern India has long been engaged in this…

Akali Dal emerged 100 yrs ago when Sikhs liberated gurdwaras from Hindutvi Mahants. It was NOT direct political fight against British tacitly supporting Mahants Then British coopted Akalis by Govt-controlled Gurdwara Act, 1925, that exists today. Akalis lacked democratic politics

Guru Nanak stood for social justice/equality/ democracy .Akalis have NO sense of Nanak’s perception of Sikh Society,hence they never had pro-people polity. Toeing landed elite-turned-businessmen line Akalis strive for power. Akalis produced NO leader matching politics of day

Akalis’ hidden aim of Punjabi Suba was to secure a Sikh majority state for power. they gave lip service to Punjabi language. half of schools teach no Punjabi , it’s use scanty in official& courts . Akali govt made Punjabi mandatory in schools, offices by an Act NOT to be notified

Being intellectually poor Sikhs never been match to political astuteness of the day.British made them loyalist, Congress got Sikhs as followers in 1947, lCong crushed Sikhs in 1984. Then Delhi cajoled Akalis to eliminate Sikh militants who, in turn made to kill Akalis.

Sikhism is living truthfully NOT to deny practical world as hell for imaginary heaven.Now hell/heaven perceptions dominate Gurdwaras as Brahminic practice.Casteism/social inequality /priesthood are hallmarks of Sikh religious practice/politics/Akali ideology

Sikhs have no religious-moral authority as Jathedars ofAkal takht & SGPC being used as instruments to advance Akali politics by Badals for half a century.Present Jathedar can give no direction to his appointing Authority Sukhbir Badal. Pro Punjab politics is needed NOT tactics

Farmers Union Ugrahan divided Jatts & Dalits in Punjab by campaigning against police registration of Dalit Atrocities case against its leader for thrashing Dalit boys that too as revenge. It pushed Union under bad light as taker of personal not political agenda. Dalits to gain.

Uggraha Kisan Union seems to have supported APP in Sangrur Lok Sabha as it did in Assembly polls in February 2022. Meet Heyar is winning on largest margin. Union’s Barnala rally was a ploy of neutrality?

Good news is that counting agent will be allowed along with candidates in all counting station, the protest has worked out! Well done, we have to be on our toes till we complete counting on June 4th ✌🏼

Deep State’s project of India nation-building cajoled Sikh leaders in 1947, arm-twisted them in granting Punjabi Suba in 1966, hit them to submission in 1980s. BJP inherited that project to be shaped as Hindu Rashtra.At last Indira Cong was buried to revive new one.

Beach homes are falling into ocean as sea levels rise and #ClimateCrisis triggers violent ocean surges. Another N.C. beach house just fell into the ocean. Others may follow. wapo.st/3Kj3Pga

Sikh leaders always lagged behind politically. It proved by their actions in 1947, in accepting lamé Punjabi Suba in 1966 & of 1980s tragic events. Barnala exonerated Deep State of its excesses by entering Punjab Agreement & govt on dictated terms. Badal Joined Hindutva,met end.
