I need to find my replacement. 💔 My health is failing, and doctors say I may have to step down from running my rescue and animal shelter sooner than I ever imagined. I’m looking for the human who will love these animals as fiercely as I do—someone ready to step up, lead, and protect these precious souls when I can no longer carry the weight. Please RETWEET to help me find them. My animals are counting on us. 🐾👇 #dogs #rescue #animals #sos – at Greater Noida, India

I went to France 24 home page expecting to read up on the riots last night and see the police and Macron's response. Instead, I kid you not, the lead story (yes lead) is:- "Indian opposition parties stage mega rally seeking election chief’s resignation." Why on earth would French people be interested in this? The next story is "How far will 'Cockroach' movement go? India's youth-led protests defy Modi government" and "India bans march on parliament by ‘Cockroach’ activists, risking a standoff". Can't see anything on the riots in France on its home page. Absolutely bizarre.

The Nazi symbol of hate was a European hakenkreuz ("hooked cross"), not an Indian swastika. In fact, the one place you would never find a swastika is in Nazi propaganda. It wasn't Adolf Hitler who called his symbol a swastika. It was the New York Times. indiancentury.org/community-…

This is such biased, bullshit reporting. Seems that these journalists only see what they want to see--and they openly lie. I was in India also and understood why two-thirds of Americans have little or no confidence in the mass media. Here is what I wrote: hindustantimes.com/opinion/t…

Shouldn’t Maggi say “Instant Cancer.” When Maggi sells the same Noodles in California they carry a Cancer warning label. India is the dumping ground for chemical food. When US banned DDT, US companies dumped all their stock in India—Indian govt called it “Green Revolution.”

British authorities back to their game of letting loose local anti- Indian elements against our mission in London and putting our diplomats under stress.
London now! In front of the Indian High Commission, London! The Indian diaspora under the leadership of SFI Britain unit comrades, stood firmly in the struggle for democracy, Indian youth refusing to be silenced anywhere under the sun. 🇮🇳✊

I am incredibly alarmed about the alleged attempt by a white supremacist to commit an act of mass violence at a Hindu temple in Aurora, Illinois, and I thank law enforcement for their swift response. Anti-Indian and anti-Hindu rhetoric is at an alarming level in America, and now we are seeing that hatred turn into violence. Bigotry against any community has no place in America, and I remain committed to ensuring that everyone, regardless of their race or religion, can live and practice their faith openly in our country.

What Ian Bremmer is not telling you is the breakdown of the 130 million: Absent / Not Traceable: 30.1 million Permanently Shifted: 63 million Dead: 28 million Duplicate: 10.2 million Other Categories: 2.6 million Total: 133.9 million I have volunteered in multiple voter registration drives and I say this with full authority this is normal. Such exercises are conducted multiple times in India. Here is the list with the Prime Minister of that time. 1952–1961: Jawaharlal Nehru 1965–1966: Lal Bahadur Shastri 1983–1989: Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi 1992–1995: P. V. Narasimha Rao 2002–2004: Atal Bihari Vajpayee 2004 onwards: Manmohan Singh 2025 onwards: Narendra Modi 7 SIR rounds under Congress-led governments, compared to just 2 under the BJP-led NDA.

My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery. Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster. He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals. I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery. He is a true hero.

🚨 IS SARA GONZALES A BIG TECH SHILL? Sara loves confronting small H-1B employers. But what happens when the H-1B employer is SHOPIFY , a sponsor of her own show? Shopify H-1B filings: 2023: 11 2024: 47 2025: 62 111 filings in just 3 years. And these weren’t all obscure research jobs: Customer Success Manager. Product Manager. Product Designer. Data Engineer. Technical Program Manager. Seriously? Shopify couldn’t find Americans for product management, design, marketing or customer success? Sara’s own show promoted her latest “H-1B visa scam” investigation and then thanked SHOPIFY for sponsoring the episode. Small employer? Camera. Confrontation. Outrage. Big corporate sponsor? Ad read. So where is the Shopify investigation, Sara? Where are the cameras? Where are the questions? Where is the outrage? Because when the microscope somehow goes blurry the moment it reaches the company helping pay for your show, viewers have every right to ask: Is this journalism… or selective outrage for everyone except the sponsor? And eventually: Is Sara Gonzales a paid propogandist? Is Ken Paxton and D'esposito in on this as well? @SaraGonzalesTX @KenPaxtonTX @USLaborIG

Almost entirely down to the failure of successive Indian governments to reform, invest in tech and education, bulk up the economy, and provide the world with an alternative governance system. The country is led by visionless and compromised philistines, reflecting the nature of a large section of the public. Getting crushed by two major powers is the natural geopolitical outcome.

This! China is and will remain India’s primary adversary. Pakistan is just the sub-set of the China challenge. Others will blow hot and cold, depending on prevailing geo-politics but China will be the adversary in perpetuity.
Three days after the bonhomie generated by Xi Jinping’s presence at the BRICS summit in Delhi, China punctured that balloon with the first meeting of the China-Pakistan Boundary Joint Commission in Islamabad @SuryaGangadha13 @nitingokhale stratnewsglobal.com/china/ch…

What was even more outrageous was that House Democrats summarily rejected a Senate bill passed by unanimous consent that would have created early filing for all people in the employment green card backlog (not just Indians). The leaders had promised that they would pass any bill the Senate passed, and then lied about it. We now have a far worse situation today than we would have had if that Bill had passed. I hope all of the people involved in that decision one day have the integrity to own up to what they did. We know what they did and why they did it and it is appalling.

Hey @NYCMayor @ZohranKMamdani, you skipped India Day Parade at Manhattan’s Madison Avenue, the first NYC mayor to do so since the parade was first held in 1981. But of course you attended terrorist-sponsor Pakistan’s event with its diaspora. Says a lot about you.
