“Secular forces fixate on footnotes, Hindutva gets how Indians deal with history”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfWd25Dv5-8 Manu Pillai is clear that “#Hindutva has understood and weaponised how Indians deal with history” in a way that the left has not. “#Secular forces are fixated on a footnoted version of history,” he says. This makes it quite unappealing to people looking to history to construct an identity.
Where does that leave the historian? Pillai agrees that he never thought he’d be in such a contentious field when he first started out. But in the end, he sees it as the price of being in the public eye. Historians are people too. The idea that a pure or virtuous history is possible, he suggests, may itself be an idealised position.

India deserves better than M-O-D-I: Misinformation, Opacity, Distractions, Incompetence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUoA4kFU3Cg The government’s constant drive for headline management, its pursuit of hype, its industrial-scale disinformation campaigns carried forward by its media and social media armies, and its wall-to-wall projection of Modi as a superhero, are obsessive, fantastical, and delusional', argues TMC MP in Rajya Sabha Sagarika Ghose.
Fifty years after Indira Gandhi imposed the Emergency, history is turning a harsher gaze not just on her authoritarian turn but on Jayaprakash Narayan’s fateful alliance with Sangh. Legitimised by JP’s misjudgment, the RSS has wrecked India’s democracy, institutions and political culture.

Sharada Prasad concluded his letter to Natwar Singh with a penetrating observation: “.. the entire operation was necessary to save our political structure. When we speak of our political structure or aims, the leftists speak only of socialism, the Anglo-US-European liberals only of pluralistic democracy, neither group gives much importance to secularism. Secularism is the base of Indian democracy. The cardinal mistake of JP and company was to hand over the controls to RSS and no man in his senses can ever say that an RSS-led opposition front can preserve a system based upon religious tolerance and equality.”
History has already dealt a rough hand to Indira Gandhi for embarking on a dangerous road 50 years ago; what she did during those dark days could be rolled back by the masses. History will deal an equally rough, if not rougher, hand to Jayaprakash Narayan for rehabilitating the RSS as a normal political force. Fifty years later, Indira Gandhi’s excesses pale in comparison to JP’s cardinal sin. The RSS is the only winner of that battle five decades ago.

The Supreme Court has said that the state cannot object to two consenting adults living together just because they belong to different religions. https://thewire.in/law/state-cant-object-to-two-consenting-adults-from-different-religions-living-together-supreme-court
The apex court recently made this assertion while granting bail to a Muslim man who had spent nearly six months in jail for marrying a Hindu woman.
While the Uttarakhand high court had denied bail to the man in February this year, a bench of Justices B.V. Nagarathna and Satish Chandra Sharma recently passed the order, allowing the appeal of the man, reported Hindustan Times.

Message by Bilawal Bhutto to Modi Over Kashmir, Water Treaty, And Gaza Links
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ELQwcYLmM8
as youtubed by Global Pulse..
We in India and Pakistan pride ourselves that we're the heirs of the Indus Valley civilization. Mohenjodaro is a stone throw away from my constituency back home. India also prides itself as the heirs of the Indus Valley civilization . So we should act as heirs of the Indus Valley civilization.
One of the most incredible things about the Indus Valley civilization is that with all the archaeology that's gone on we've not found a single weapon . All the great advancements - They had urban planning agriculture water distribution even sewage and things But not a single weapon.
How far we've come from our roots that Indus Valley civilization which didn't have a single weapon is now is armed to the teeth.
Mr Modi is sort of the timur version of Netanyahu.It's a little poor copy and we call upon the Indian government to not be inspired by the worst examples possible . Prime Minister Modi must decide. he has two paths to follow before him. He could pursue the path of peace and be a true be a true heir of the Indus Valley civilization.
or he could pursue another path a path that we've been warning about be it in the context of the Iran war and obviously the actions within Gaza recently have inspired some of the actions by the Indian government .
From Uptime media https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8kNBkI1Pcg *Rejection of India's Allegations*: Bilawal Bhutto rejected India's claims of Pakistan's involvement in terrorism, stating that Pakistan is a victim, not an exporter, of terrorism. He emphasized that India's accusations are "stale, rooted in fiction, not fact".
*Kashmir Issue*: He advocated for a political resolution in Kashmir, rooted in the democratic will of the people, and suggested a plebiscite to determine the region's future. Bilawal condemned India's actions in Kashmir, saying, "Kashmir is not India's territory. It is a promise broken, a wound festering, and a people waiting".
*Indus Waters Treaty*: Bilawal Bhutto warned India to respect the Indus Waters Treaty, stating that if India tries to block Pakistan's water, "we won't stay silent". He further emphasized that Pakistan would take strong action if India violates the treaty, saying, "Our water or your blood will flow in the Indus River".
*Military Response*: Bilawal Bhutto praised Pakistan's military response to Indian aggression, claiming that Pakistan shot down five Indian jets "like mosquitoes" during a recent conflict. He warned India that any further aggression would be met with stronger retaliation.
*Diplomatic Victory*: Bilawal declared that Pakistan's narrative has won in the international media, while India's narrative was defeated. He added that Pakistan successfully conveyed its message of peace and Kashmir's struggle.
https://www.msn.com/en-xl/asia/pakistan/bilawal-bhutto-zardari-the-voice-of-pakistan/ar-AA1HcQv3 At the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Goa, Bilawal did what many would not dare: he showed up in India, stood his ground, and stood for peace. Despite media hostility and diplomatic chill, Bilawal represented Pakistan with dignity and clarity, refusing to be silenced, yet offering dialogue over division.
Massive Data Breach: 16 Billion Passwords Leaked — Apple, Facebook, Google Logins Compromised https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrV3PBmS4-4 Jun 20, 2025 In what is being dubbed as the biggest data breach of all times, 16 billion login details, including passwords, have reportedly been leaked, and more are flowing out on a regular basis. The expanse and potential impact of this data breach, which has been verified by cybersecurity experts, can be judged by the fact that it could potentially grant cyber criminals access to virtually any online service you can think of, including Apple, Facebook, Google, GitHub, and Telegram. With more than 16 billion login records compromised, cybercriminals now possess access to passwords unlike ever before in history, which means it is as fearful as it gets — everything from identity theft and phishing attacks to account takeovers and ransomware is possible.

For years, the BJP championed non-alignment and strategic autonomy as core to its 'cultural nationalism'. Now, Narendra Modi and Amit Shah have quietly abandoned that legacy, enforcing sweeping policy shifts that will harm the interest of ordinary Indians. https://thewire.in/trade/narendra-modi-donald-trump-trade-tariff-nuclear-farm-milk-good-humour
Another one of Trump’s conditions to which Modi agreed in February was that India buy more US arms and equipment. This was purportedly intended to reduce the US trade deficit with India. In the potential shopping list: fighter jets (Trump mentioned the F-35), the P-81 Poseidon, helicopters and other US military systems.

How Israel Came To Control American Politics & US Foreign Policy https://youtu.be/uMZvylF4CUE?t=543
In developed democracy like America,Why so many leaders, activists, influencers, journalists are openly supporting Israel? They are risking their soldiers, economy, healthcare and resources. They are saying that Israeli should not face any hardship. What kind of magic is this?
Israel has cast a spell on American politicians for around 70 years. It was earlier less in the Middle East but in last 20 - 30 years politicians are working less for Americans and more for Israel. Americans has been inciting fights in middle east and doing regime change for cheap oil. America has targeted middle east at different times for various reasons and that is why so many people there dislike America. One support was Israel, which was a progressive democracy like America. It wanted to promote freedom, human rights, free will, free economy. It also had a scientific temperament which was not found in this area by America. So, America started supporting a like-minded partner.
But this partnership became a toxic relationship. As soon as US partnership was established, Israel started to gain influence in America. From lower level council elections to Congressional, Senate and even Presidential elections, Heavy electoral funding started coming in. Today, American Israeli Public Affairs Committee or AIPAC holds a strong hold in the US. Through AIPAC, Israel injects millions of dollars into the US elections every year to elect Ted Cruz and Tom ????.
It is difficult to even imagine how bad the elections in in America and how bad the funding sources are. In the end, the politicians work for the funding. Funding is just one part of Israel's control over America. Big companies like Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, BlackRock, DE Shaw, PayPal are the top American firms that are directly or indirectly under Jewish control. They control big money and they have been accused of pro Israel lobbying for years but no one has been able to touch them. Their hold is strong.
In the end, the money that is coming and suppressing other is a dangerous game that is played. So, what do you get from all this money? Lobbying is just a whitewash term for systematic corruption. Like we have paisa do, contract lo ... similarly there is strategic partnership in America. Conspiracy theorists have been talking about how America is controlled by Israeli interests including Mossad. We don't generally believe in conspiracy theories. But the way America is surrendering to the Israeli regime. some conspiracy theories might be true... Mossad job is to collect dirt on US officials and President. Israel checks all the dark acts of the identified leaders brings the info on them and starts blackmailing from the back channel.
The most recent name in this is Jeffrey Epstein. Conspiracy theorists believe that Epstein was a Mossad spy or at least working for Mossad. His job was to trap big American businessmen and political leaders in a honey trap. Recording them on video. Today, people are speculating on social media that Israel's control over Trump we are seeing and how he is being pushed towards the conflict, is possible because Trump is included in Epstein files and Mossad has his dark secrets, because if Trump had to stop, he would have already done it. You might say that this is an extreme case where Mossad can control an American president. This is an extreme conspiracy that Mossad can take such a direct action against the strongest man in the world. -mBut this is what Mossad has done, at least that is the allegation. Mossad's direct action is the elimination of John F. Kennedy In November 1963, in Dallas, USA, the then President John F Kennedy was executed. President was pressuring Israel to inspect its secret nuclear plant, especially Dimona plant In the 1960s, Israel and France signed a secret deal. France transferred nuclear technology to Israel and helped in setting up reactors. This deal was just a peaceful civilian use of power plants. But it had a secret aspect. Plutonium enrichment and separation. Its ultimate aim was to make Israel a nuclear state. President Kennedy did not want any nuclear power state to be built in the volatile Middle East. So he wanted to put pressure on Israel for years. Israel had to bow down to the insistence of frequent inspections.
Ultimately, Israel allowed inspections but soon President Kennedy passed away, the execution has left many questions unanswered. One conspiracy theory is that Mossad was involved in the case because Kennedy had found out the secret of Israel's nuclear weapons. We still don't know the full picture but we can say that there was a misunderstanding and there was no case of a lone gunman Even after Kennedy's death, Israel allowed inspectors to visit its Dimona site, but according to reports U.S. inspectors found nothing suspicious in that facility.
Finally, Israel has the material to make some nuclear material, but Israel never openly declared this. Today, Israel is trying to stop Iran from doing the same. IAEA inspectors have been visiting Iran for years and have not yet seen any signs of Iran becoming a nuclear power. In 1969, US President Nixon and Israel signed a secret agreement After which US stopped asking questions about nuclear capability of Israel. But intelligence shows that US was convinced that Israel had nuclear capability but never officially admitted it. Some files have been declassified in recent years which reveal how Israel had hidden its nuclear capabilities from US inspectors.
Maybe that is why Israel does not trust IAEA inspectors, if it can do that, Iran might also secretly become nuclear. Israel knows that it is possible to do and so can Iran who knows it better if it is possible to fool the IAEA inspectors.
If we want peace in the Middle East, we need to end this nuclear race.
Today Israel and tomorrow maybe someone else may want nuclear capability. Trump is standing in front of Israeli pressure groups. Trump knows that once he gets caught in the Middle East, it will be long Russia and China will be in Iran's support openly? Targeting Iran means losing the Nobel Peace Prize was also lost. That's why many experts are saying that there is a unique way to solve this issue. To bring peace in the Middle East, make a negotiation between Iran and Israel. Neither Iran nor Israel will have nuclear power. Both will have to disarm. Peace prize will be guaranteed. Pawpaw Israel wont be happy with this and consider it a joke. Trump survived once, might not be lucky next time.. even if Trump is forced,
America has a new problem. The formula of chemical, nuclear, is so old that even the Americans are asking why they should suffer for Israel? They are shocked about how much tax payer's money is going to Israel. America is facing health crisis, economy crisis, inflation crisis. US aid has been stopped. But when will you stop the aid to Israel?
AIPAC can buy mainstream media but on social media AIPAC's game is understood by American people. Mainstream media is not able to control the voices . It should be Israel being controlled by America but opposite is happening.
Iran is not pure itself... It has supported proxies like Houthis, Hamas, Hezbollah. Just like America supported Israel in the Middle East. But now, it's a different story as Israel became master We don't know if Iran will lose but it is already a game of losing for America. First of all, Israel never thought it would face this much damage. Israel is trying to pull America in this conflict. America doesn't want this. Israel wants this.
How long will America dance to Israel's tunes? We will have to see. But what we see is that hypocrisy has crossed the line and there is limit to servitude
Iran not prepared for talks with anyone 'while Israeli attacks continue,' FM Abbas Araghchi says https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-news/article-858417 The Iranian foreign minister elaborated that the reasoning for the halt of negotiations with the US is due to the country being a "partner to Israeli crime against Iran," he claimed. He then further told state TV that Iran's talks with the E3 in Geneva will focus solely on nucler and regional issues, and that Tehran's ballistic missile program is non-negotiable.
