I got a visa to India and was supposed to leave this morning to attend the Bharat Summit in Hyderabad. I had been invited as a panelist and speaker on the future of media and press freedom. But «orders from above» in the Ministry of Home Affairs have cancelled my visa. Here is my message for @AmitShah

An England without the €45 trillion it stole from India would be no England at all.
An England entirely populated with Indians, Afghans and Pakistanis would be no England at all.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The claim of €45 trillion stolen from India by Britain derives from economist Utsa Patnaik's disputed estimate of ~$45 trillion (1765-1938 export surpluses compounded at 5%), contested by historians as methodologically flawed. aljazeera.com/opinions/2018/… historyreclaimed.co.uk/did-the-britis… livemint.com/Companies/HNZA…

Thousands of milk producing farmers hit the street in Kolhapur to protest against the BJP-led MahaYuti government’s decision of appointing four nominated expert directors with voting rights to the Gokul Co-op Milk Federation. In elections, the Congress led panel (1)

How much commission did Jitendra take from the alleged foreign funding to get Dharmendra Pradhan sacked? After all, he was the one at the negotiating table.

Spent the evening with the cockroaches of Maharashtra who stood strong in the face of the Delhi Police crackdown on October 10. This Diwali, CJP volunteers will be with farmers across Maharashtra who have been severely affected by drought.

Meanwhile, I spent the night at an airport, sleep-deprived and waiting for a delayed connecting flight. Just desperately trying to get home from the Kochi protest so my mom wouldn’t kill me for missing Diwali. Such a lovely festive experience. 🙂
I love going to the airport on Diwali. It's always so lovely to see everyone dressed up in their festive finest and to see everyone smiling at each other. I've forgotten how fun it can be to walk through an airport when you're in a good mood!

Having spent two Diwalis away from home while I was abroad, I know how much you miss your family and loved ones, especially during festivals. So, a little extra love to everyone spending this Diwali away from home. I hope you get to celebrate the next one with your loved ones. ❤️🪔

मुख्यमंत्री दुसऱ्यांना अराजकवादी म्हणतात, पण स्वतः एका दूध संघाची निवडणूक हरल्यानंतर जनतेचा कौल स्वीकारण्याऐवजी सत्तेच्या जोरावर ‘होस्टाइल टेकओव्हर’ करण्याचा प्रयत्न करतात. जनतेचा कौल पायदळी तुडवून सत्ता बळकावण्याचा प्रयत्न करणारेच खरे अराजकवादी आहेत. गोकुळ दूध संघाला या असंवैधानिक आणि अराजक शक्तींच्या तावडीतून वाचवण्यासाठी रस्त्यावर उतरलेल्या कोल्हापूरकरांना सलाम!

For those wondering what’s happening with Gokul Dairy in Kolhapur: - Elections were held for Gokul Dairy. Satej Patil’s group won 13 seats, while the BJP-led Mahayuti lost with 12. - After the defeat, the BJP govt brought in an ordinance appointing 4 additional members with voting rights. - With these 4 extra votes, the BJP-led group could gain a majority and take control of Gokul despite losing the election. Imagine, if they’re this desperate to steal the mandate of even a dairy cooperative, what they must be doing in state elections with the help of Gyanesh Kumar.

खरे असंवैधानिक आणि अराजकवादी कोण, @Dev_Fadnavis? एका दूध संघाच्या निवडणुकीतही जनतेचा कौल चोरण्याचा प्रयत्न होत असेल, तर विचार करा, राज्यस्तरीय निवडणुकांमध्ये ज्ञानेश कुमार यांच्या मदतीने काय काय सुरू असेल?

I am in Lucknow, and my heart goes out to me knowing that I have to head to Delhi soon. I don't even want to blame anyone here because people have repeatedly shown that they simply refuse to use their brains. Some people seem to have stopped evolving a long time ago. “Parampara, Pratishtha” ke naam par “Anushasan” hi bhool gaye hain log. Every year, it's the same pattern. The court allows green crackers, vendors sell everything except green crackers, people burst crackers until their pockets give up, and then spend the entire winter crying about pollution, citing a dozen other reasons for it or blaming each other and each other's religions. For God's sake, GROW UP. Look around you. Think about little children, animals, old people and people forced to live on the streets, who cannot afford N-95 masks, let alone 10 air purifiers, and have no choice but to breathe the same toxic air. Bewakoofi ki bhi had hoti hai.
