ModiSarkar Twitter Games

For the second time in the last few years representatives of Twitter appeared before a Parliamentary Committee in India. To a question asked to them on whether they follow the laws of the land, they replied with “We follow our own polices”. That is not an answer to the question at all but it is as comic as it can get with our Parliamentary buffoons who really don’t know what they are questioning Twitter for and what consequence they threaten. ANI reports the Committee gave a “tough message” to Twitter stating they must abide by Indian laws or face fines. I’m sure the Twitter guys are shaking at the knees. In yet more comic idiocy, Modi’s bootlickers at Timesnow ask “Is the Lobby backing Twitter’s defiance”? I wonder who runs this country, the “Lobby” or the GOI.

All of this has come about from some new rules notified by GOI for all tech companies and platforms in February 2021. Twitter had not communicated its agreement to it or did not comply with it. Facebook has gone to court over related issues. But the current battle by GOI against Twitter escalated when the platform marked a tweet by Sambit Patra as “Manipulated media”. The tweet related to a Congress “Toolkit” that sought to sabotage India’s fight against Covid and vaccination plans. There isn’t any doubt that Twitter is a Leftist platform, as most tech companies and platforms are and is prejudiced against the ModiSarkar and most of its actions are biased and arbitrary in favour of Commies and Fiberals.

In the US they suspended Trump’s account. In Nigeria they suspended the President’s account but Nigeria became the first country to shut down Twitter after the action. ModiSarkar is a brainless, gutless comic circus with no head or tail. When the stand-off started with Twitter, the first stupid thing they did was send two teams of Delhi police on raids at Twitter offices in Delhi and Gurugram. This comedy happened late evening on May 24:

The cops landed up during the lockdowns and when personnel were working from home. Naturally, Twitter offices were closed and they found no one to talk to. The Delhi Police later clarified that they had gone just to deliver a notice to their MD. Really? That is even more stupid. You send two teams of 6-8 people to two separate offices just to deliver a notice to a company? Never mind! Nothing came out of that. So, the Minister for IT, RS Prasad started writing love-letters to Twitter. Prasad explained the situation, their prejudiced actions, non-compliance and possible consequences. Why a minister has to do all this for a tiny company is strange but it’s also hilarious:

All of this naturally leads us to a simple question – Why is the GOI unwilling to act against Twitter? Of all the tech companies around, Twitter is probably the smallest one. Although their revenues reported a growth to $1 Bn in the first quarter this year worldwide, they are too small by comparison to giants like Apple, Google or Microsoft or even Facebook. The number of people Twitter employees is also very small so it’s not as if a huge number would be laid off if Twitter is shut down. Most of their employees act as “Watchdogs” for abuse and few as political liaison personnel.

There could be many answers for no action against Twitter but the most important one simply is that the ModiSarkar does not have the spine for a confrontation with anyone. Whether it is Shaheen Bagh or fake farmers (who have now graduated to rapes and murders), allowing attacks on Red Fort and the most gruesome being the continued murders of Hindus in Bengal for years. Post elections, the murders in Bengal have become even worse. Law enforcement has truly gone to the dogs in India. Even Modi’s most ardent supporters now realise he’s a man without a stomach for action and confrontation against crimes. There is a marked lack of leadership in the GOI:

Secondly, PM Modi is perhaps the most “Image-conscious” politician in the world right now. And he has been image-conscious for many years and goes many lengths for the extra lipstick and photo op. Crazy pictures with peacocks, ducks, parrots or doing things that nobody wants to see a PM doing have become the hallmarks of the man. Twitter is the only gateway that keeps Modi open to the world outside to be seen and read by other leaders as well as ordinary folks. Modi would want Bill Gates to read his tweets as much as he would want Joe Biden or public around the world to read his tweets. This obsession with self-image and a need to be present everywhere makes it impossible to confront Twitter. This has been so extreme, that while many of his ministers have opened accounts on the Indian app Koo, Modi himself has so far refused to do so. All that Atmanirbhar nonsense goes down the drain when it comes to his personal choices.

And his silly bootlickers in the media ask why the so-called “Lobby” is not commenting or if it is backing Twitter’s defiance. As if this silly lobby is to enforce laws in India. After Twitter failed to communicate its agreement to comply with the additional Indian laws, the media houses started jumping around screaming “Twitter loses legal shield, Twitter loses intermediary status” as if the bird of Twitter has lost its wings and cannot fly or sing anymore. Other than jingoistic chest-thumping nothing has really happened and if anything did happen it has been downright comic and hilarious as the police raid or RS Prasad writing letters to Twitter. All this is nothing but a long exercise in distraction of Indians from many other grave issues facing the country. Keep them focused on Twitter-battles while many other crimes and problems are shoved under the carpet:

If you Google for the number of Twitter users from every country, India is the highest with 18 million. That is easily a very low number for a country with a population of 1.38 billion. However, Twitter users are mostly educated ones, professionals from various domains, media houses and personnel, politicians, top businessmen and many supporters of every political party. Thus, it becomes a useful tool for instant propaganda for the ruling party. Their opponents too have that benefit but a ruling party always has the advantage. The supporters of BJP fear Twitter may do to Modi in 2024 what it did to Trump in 2020-21 but that is a baseless fear. Modi tweets nothing but propaganda stuff and anniversaries and nothing more. Most importantly, Twitter also knows our judiciary system quite well and also knows Modi has no spine for a confrontation:

It is also a time when some important elections are not very far off. Along with four other states, UP goes to polls in February-March 2022, so too Uttarakhand and Himachal where BJP is the ruling party. Nothing cheers up Modi like a great election campaign. He is most at home campaigning and giving speeches for votes. Given that is upcoming, it hardly likely that there will be any action against Twitter, at least not in the next one year as it is also an important election tool for the BJP. All its Pundits, Astrologers, Popat-readers, Tantrik-Boothers; all of them do electioneering on Twitter. You may wonder how can a small population of people on Twitter can matter so much – well, that small population is hoped to transmit and multiply the message to the ground and the frontline worker. The long and short of it, all this nonsense with Twitter is nothing but a smoke-screen to keep people occupied with nonsensical theatre and not think of more serious problems.

Population Poison For Hindus

In a village called Noorpur in Aligarh, UP, a wedding procession of Dalits was attacked as it passed by a mosque on May 26. Altercation followed and so did violence. An AIMIM leader announced no Hindu wedding procession will be allowed on that street. As Hindus faced attacks, many houses had painted a “For sale” notice on their houses. Some persons have been arrested but the case will go on. In Assam, 24 Muslims were arrested for brutally assaulting a doctor because their relative died of Covid and the doctor’s clinic had no setup to treat him. Sometime back a doctor was assaulted in Bengal, again by Muslims, causing a strike. The more this community riots, the more violence they indulge in, the more govts, both Centre and States, have mollycoddled them. They still call it “minority” when they could be around 20 Crs in India. PM Narendra Modi, in particular, has emboldened and encouraged their lawlessness across the country. This is now too jarring to escape notice or ignore.

The monsoon has hardly begun in the Western parts of India and already buildings are collapsing in Mumbai causing death and destruction. You wonder why and in which areas these incidents happen – Bandra, Malad, Mumbra, Kurla, Sion etc. And most times, the incidents happen in Muslim ghettos. No law applies there. The builders build what they want, no police ever go there, no building or fire inspector goes there, no permissions are required. These ghettos are mushrooming across India and while their population grows without control, they want to continue being called a ‘minority” and their demands and the govts financial doles to them keeps growing alarmingly:

It is in this context that the announcement by Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma on family planning must be welcomed. Although I suspect his method of doing this is flawed, one should hope that he makes a serious attempt. However, the first reaction to this announcement was by a Muslim MLA, Hafiz Raziqul of AIUDF. He claimed HBS has 6 children himself so he cannot lecture others on family planning. Maybe that is perhaps the reason HBS wants to implement family planning or the moronic AIUDF MLA should learn that in the present day, a Hindu having 6 children is quite a rarity but very common in Muslims. Such morons also do not realise that regardless of their population, Hindus have not threatened the lives of the Muslim community anywhere. It is the reverse that is happening that is a cause for worry and HBS is naturally concerned unlike Modi:

Whether it is Noorpur and other towns in UP, Mewat in Haryana, whether Kashmir where Hindus are more or less extinct, whether Kerala, Bengal and Tamil Nadu where Hindu-extinction is work in progress the pattern is consistent. The moment Muslim population grows, Hindus are being driven out of villages, then towns, then cities, then states. In Punjab, Malerkotla has been turned into a new district but Malerkotla city has 68% Muslim population. You can make a wild guess where that town is headed in the future. In the seven years that he has been PM, Narendra Modi has deluded himself and the country with a fake notion of India’s population being a great advantage. He knows this is a LIE and he willfully LIES. Someone, taught this village bumpkin the term “Demographic Dividend” and he has been using this foolish term to cover up the failures in population control and in Muslim appeasement. The growth in population of India is in a segment that is most unproductive and worthless – mostly uneducated youth. There is no such demographic dividend from it:


Multiple schemes and programmes created by Modi are languishing and are dead ducks from the start – Skills India, Start-up India, Make in India. All these fancy schemes have gotten nowhere and job losses and unemployment have been high even before Covid struck in full force with lockdowns and lay-offs. When China screwed India at the LAC  Modi came up with yet another bogus term of “Atmanirbhar” as if he had discovered water on Mars. India has been aspiring for self-reliance since Nehru was born in this country and it is nothing new. But the fact is that Indian imports from China have now gone up after a slump in 2020 mostly because of medical imports. For Modi, everything is like the “Flavor of the day” – suddenly Balochistan, suddenly Atmanirbhar and suddenly he will blabber population control is patriotism. Nobody has fooled such a vast population with such nonsensical blabber:

In his I-day speech in 2016, Modi grandly talked about Balochistan and his bootlicker-media grandly claimed it’s a game-changer. What happened after that? I am sure international powers such as US, China, France must have told him to scale down his rhetoric against Pakistan and that his boots aren’t that big yet. So, Balochistan disappeared from the agenda. One fine day he blabbers population explosion is a threat to the future generation and its control a form of patriotism. After that, it’s all gas. Of course, Modi added to his list of moroneries by calling the AMU ghetto a “Mini India”. This is to insult the Hindus who see such ghettos as a threat to them. And AMU and their students and faculties have not exactly been friendly to India and their slogans not very endearing. This rotten ghetto is “Mini India” for Modi. What happened in Noorpur, Aligarh is there for all to see.

The entire problem of India is that currently the policies and programmes of the GOI are based on the whims and moods of Narendra Modi and his hypocrisies. There is no ideology, no policy framework for anything except for adhocism. Most of what Modi said prior to 2014 to get elected and during his campaigns in Gujarat all look like a huge mountain of lies now. Far from action against the corrupt, Modi is now the protector of the corrupt and the murderers. Where minority appeasement and Madrassa funding is concerned, Modi again turned out to be a hypocrite and a liar. He also turned out to be a liar where his outlook on population control is concerned. Here are some samples of what he said in 2002 in Gujarat:

Hum paanch, humare pachees”. We know what that means and who Modi is referring to. Modi asks if the govt should open child-producing centres. He also states those produced from Madrassas are useless to the state. Now the same Modi grandly funds Madrassas as if he has sworn on the Quran to do so. Those who have only religious education (meaning in Madrassas) would only be a burden on Gujarat said Modi. How come he doesn’t find them a burden on India now? The whole govt in the last seven years has been a roller-coaster of lies, appeasement and doles to the detriment of Hindus. And the more the ghettos grow, the more the slow extinction of Hindus. Many Hindus, unfortunately, are too blind not to see this. They are like frogs being boiled slowly but most of them brag that they survived 1000 years and will survive in the future. Survival should never be a goal in itself.

All that Hindus do on SM is brag about the glorious past, their ancient temples and some ruins. History means anything only if there is continuity. Presently, Hinduism is being slowly wiped out in Kerala, TN, Bengal, JK, Punjab, Andhra and Telangana. The govts everywhere see temples only as a property to be looted. And along with Hinduism, Hindus are also being slaughtered in quite a few states. The ModiSarkar presides over this mass-murder of Hindus, particularly in Bengal. The lop-sided population growth is perhaps the slow poison for Hindu society. Of this Hindu society, 63% are OBC or SC/ST who are slowly being weaned away from Hindus. The ones to be marginalized are about 13% of UC Hindus and then the extinction progresses faster as the OBC-SC-ST are targets for conversion. There is a war on Hindus without any swords or weapons, so to say, and their slow extinction is being directly helped by all govts. And reckless population growth is quite a big weapon.
