As the number of people vaccinated against Covid-19 increases due to the world’s largest vaccination program, the prevalence of Coronavirus infection in the country is coming down gradually. While the total active cases have come down to less than 3 lakh from a high of above 37 lakh in May this year, Kerala and Maharashtra remain the top two states affected by the pandemic. But surprisingly, northeastern state Mizoram has seen a spike in cases in recent times, which has caused fresh worries.
At present, Mizoram has more than 14 thousand active cases, which is the fourth-highest in the country. While other countries in the top ten list always had high cases, Mizoram’s cases have increased only recently. Moreover, the active cases in the state are going up, while in almost all other states, active cases are going down. Even Kerala has seen the number of active cases coming down from 2 lakh in last week to August to 1.63 lakh now, similarly, Maharashtra’s active cases came down from 50 thousand to 38 thousand during this period.
Recently the Union Health Ministry had said that Mizoram, along with Kerala, has emerged as a cause for concern. As many as 3,192 children between 11 and 20 years were reported to be infected by the virus in the first half of September. 2,850 Covid-19 cases have been detected among children below 10 years, and 2,997 cases have been detected between the age group of 21 and 30 years.
But for Mizoram, the active caseload has gone up from 6 thousand a month ago to above 14 thousand now. A Similar trend was seen in July this year, when the active cases had gone from 4 thousand to 12 thousand in a month, before coming down to 6 thousand by the end of August, which against went up in September.
Another cause for concern is that the share of youths among the Covid-19 infected people is high in Mizoram.
Explaining the recent surge in cases in the state, Dr Pachuau Lalmalsawma, state nodal officer and official spokesperson on COVID-19, said that a recent study conducted by experts in the state has revealed that the nature of society in the state has led to the increase of cases in the case. The study found that Mizoram is a close-knit society where casual visits to relatives, friends, and neighbours or dining together within the family circle or with others is a common practice even during the lockdown, it has resulted in increased transmission of the infection.
A central team had also attributed this reason behind increased cases, however, the central team had also cited non-compliance with public health guidelines as another reason. According to reports, Dr ZR Thiamsanga, the chairman of the State Medical Operational Team on COVID-19, said that as per a recent study done on 10,000 people in the state, it was found that Covid-19 transmission was found to be high among the people who do not follow Covid-19 Appropriate Behaviour, but the infection is low among the people who follow the norms.
The experts in the state have said that new variants of Covid-19 like Delta and Delta Plus have contributed to higher rates of infection in the state, as these variants are highly contagious. “If highly transmissible Covid-19 variants are already present, it is clear that transmission rate will be high or vast in a close-knit society,” said Dr Thiamsanga, who is also an MLA in the state.
Another reason being cited for recent higher cases in Mizoram is the lack of natural immunity among the people in the state.
Although the pace of vaccination was slow at the beginning in the state, it has gone up recently, and the state has administered more than 11 lakh doses so far. During the initial days, there were lots of vaccine hesitancy in the state due to the influence of the church. It was reported that some Churches and Christian groups were discouraging people from taking the coronavirus vaccine in north-eastern states, including Christian majority Mizoram. But now, vaccination drive has picked up pace due to increase awareness about the benefit of vaccines among people.
The state is augmenting its Covid-19 response infrastructure in the wake of increased cases. The government has decided to increase testing capacity in the state, and is getting two mobile vans equipped with RT-PCR testing facilities from the Centre.
A 44-year-old teacher from Kerala was sentenced to 29.5 years imprisonment for sexually abusing a minor girl in 2012, reported Onmanorama News.
The accused has been identified as Abdul Rafeek. While serving as a teacher at a private school in Pavaratty, he had sexually exploited an Std-I student. The incident took place 9 years ago when the students had gone for a school picnic. On returning home, the victim felt weak and traumatised. The mother of the child took her to the hospital for immediate medical attention. Following an examination, the doctor confirmed to the victim’s mother the sexual abuse faced by the child.
She had also sustained serious injuries to her internal organs. A case was registered after the victims’ relatives had filed a complaint with the police. A Prevention of Child Sexual Offences (POCSO) fast track court sentenced Rafeek to 29 years and 6 months in jail for committing the heinous crime. Additionally, Justice MP Shibu directed him to pay ₹2.15 lacs as a fine, failing which the prison sentence will be extended by an additional 2 years 9 months. The victim was represented by the Special public prosecutor KS Binu.
Surging cases of molestation, rapes and crime against minors in Kerala
Between January 1 to May 31 this year, 627 cases of rapes of children were reported in Kerala. Further, as many as 1,639 cognisable cases of crimes against children were registered in the same period. This included 15 murders, 89 kidnappings and abduction and six cases of exposure and abandonment. Five cases were registered for child marriage. In July, a 6-year-old innocent was murdered after being raped in Vendiperiyar.
When the matter came to light, the local MLA resolutely opposed the child’s postmortem. Despite all the obstruction, when the investigation progressed, it was found that the perpetrator of the heinous act was none other than the CPI(M) worker who exploited the girl and later killed her with hellish torture. The simmering anger of the cruelty meted out on the girl was reflected on the streets of Kerala when villagers clashed with the police and thrashed the accused in the case.
As per documents available in the public domain, women in Kerala are suffering from a host of dangers. According to the official website of Kerala Police, till May 2021, 886 rape cases, 1437 molestation cases, 75 kidnapping cases, 149 molestation cases, 1159 domestic violence cases, and 1502 other offences were registered in the state. Overall, the number of crimes registered in the first 5 months of 2021 alone is 5208. Last year, 12,659 cases of crimes against women came to light in Kerala.
The theatrics of actor Sonu Sood on social media is not a new phenomenon. Ever since the advent of the Coronavirus pandemic, the actor has spent most of his time projecting himself as some sort of messiah. Over time, it appears, he has managed to convince even himself that he is indeed the prince that was promised.
On Saturday, Sonu Sood shared a screenshot showing the number of unread emails on his inbox. He added in the caption, “Hope.. Trust.. Prayers.. what else does one need in life”. It is not clear how he claim to the conclusion that all the unread emails in his inbox are “prayers” for his well-being. Conventional wisdom dictates that celebrities receive a great deal of spam emails as well.
Nonetheless, when someone is convinced that he is the second coming of Jesus Christ, every unread email is an opportunity to blow his own trumpet. Thus, we have Sood here convinced that the nearly 60,000 unread emails in his inbox is evidence of the love that the masses bear towards himself.
People were quick to remind him, however, that unread emails are not a measure of one’s popularity or greatness. The comments to his tweet were littered with people revealing the number of unread emails they have in their own inbox.
The inbox antics of Sonu Sood comes days after the Income Tax Department found incriminating evidence against the actor. The investigative agency discovered that Sood had evaded taxes to the tune of over Rs. 20 crores.
While Sood managed to collect huge amounts in donations, most of that amount is lying unused, and only a small amount has been distributed. According to a statement by the IT Department, while a total of ₹18.94 crore was collected, only ₹1.9 crore was used, and the rest has not been used yet.
People on social media brought that up as well while responding to his unread emails tweet.
Since the pandemic began, there have been false messiahs who have pranced around boasting about their, often nonexistent, accomplishments. But no one, perhaps, has done so with more embellishments than Sonu Sood.
It is pretty clear that he is so enamoured with himself that the thought does not cross his mind that perhaps, people are not buying what he has been selling all this while. Consumed by his messiah complex, he appears to believe that even unread emails are divine blessings from above.
On Saturday (September 25), Congress media-in-charge from Tamil Nadu threatened OpIndia saying that the portal should be shut down and the Editors should be jailed for daring to speak out against the Malabar Hindu genocide committed by the Moplah Muslims in 1921. These threats were in response to an Editorial cartoon by OpIndia cartoonist Vikasopikaso depicting how the massacre was whitewashed by the leftists and labelled as a ‘peasant’s revolt.’
The Congress media chief, identified as one Syed Mohamed Thousif, wrote, “Opindia should be closed and its editors should be brought to the court to stand trial for fanning the winds of communal hate and violence.” He further alleged, “It has consistently been putting out communal and fake information just as its master’s want.” Thousif went on to smear Opindia while whitewashing the Hindu genocide of 1921.
Screengrab of the tweet by Syed Mohamed Thousif
In order to substantiate his claims, the Congress worker then cited The Hindu newspaper to claim that the Moplah Rebellion was an uprising against upper-caste Hindu landlords, police and the British troops. Syed Mohamed Thousif tweeted, “Btw, this is what The Hindu has to say The Malabar Rebellion (also called the Mappila or Moplah Rebellion by the British) broke out in Malabar August 1921. It largely was attacks on janmis (feudal landlords, who were mostly upper-caste Hindus) and the police and troops.”
Screengrab of the tweet by Syed Mohamed Thousif
The Malabar massacre of Hindus by Moplah Muslims in 1921 was a systematic campaign of Jihad against Hindus. The genocide, orchestrated by the likes of Variankunnath Kunhamad Haji, Ali Musaliar and others, led to an estimated death of 10,000 Hindus in Kerala. It is believed that as many a 100,000 Hindus were forced to leave Kerala in the wake of the massacre. The number of Hindu Temples that were destroyed in the genocide is speculated to be a hundred. Forcible conversion of Hindus was rampant and unspeakable atrocities were poured upon Hindus.
The Malabar Massacre by Moplah Muslims was described by the likes of Annie Besant and Babasaheb Ambedkar in their respective published books. Annie Besant described the events in her book ‘The Future of Indian Politics’ as: “They murdered and plundered abundantly, and killed or drove away all Hindus who would not apostatize. Somewhere about a lakh of people were driven from their homes with nothing but the clothes they had on, stripped of everything. Malabar has taught us what Islamic rule still means, and we do not want to see another specimen of the Khilafat Raj in India.”
Babasaheb Ambedkar in his book, Pakistan or the Partition of India, wrote, “The blood-curdling atrocities committed by the Moplas in Malabar against the Hindus were indescribable. All over Southern India, a wave of horrified feeling had spread among the Hindus of every shade of opinion, which was intensified when certain Khilafat leaders were so misguided as to pass resolutions of “congratulations to the Moplas on the brave fight they were conducting for the sake of religion”. Even after 100 years of the event, the wounds of the genocide remain afresh in the Hindu conscience.
Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday hinted at the involvement of the Popular Front of India (PFI) in instigating the violence that erupted during the eviction drive in the Sipajhar area.
“The situation is normal now. As many as 60 families have to be evicted but there were 10,000 people, who brought them…Popular Front of India’s name is emerging in this but I’ll not give any comment till the judicial probe is completed,” ANI quoted the Assam chief minister as saying.
Sarma cited state intelligence reports that claimed certain people had pooled Rs 28 lakhs during the last three months assuring people that eviction won’t happen. These individuals, Sarma insisted, mobilised instigators and wreaked havoc when they could not stop the authorities from carrying out the eviction drive.
We have the names of 6 persons. Prior to the day of incident, PFI visited the site in the name of carrying food items to evicted families. Various evidence are now emerging, implicating certain people, including a lecturer: Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma (2/2) pic.twitter.com/ej6civnJip
Sarma also said that PFI had visited the area a day before the violence broke out under the pretext of providing food items to the evicted families.
“We have names of 6 persons. Prior to the day of the incident, PFI visited the site in the name of carrying food items to evicted families. Various evidence is now emerging, implicating certain people, including a lecturer,” Sarma said while addressing the reporters.
Dispelling the rumours that the eviction drive was a fair accompli foisted on the people, the Assam chief minister said the encroachers were taken into confidence and their consent was sought before conducting the eviction drive. Sarma said he told them about evictions and asked them to ensure no resistance, which they had promised but created mayhem the next day. In addition to this, he had also informed Congress about the decision, which the party had agreed to and had appreciated then.
Violence breaks out in Darrang district in Assam as encroachers lock horns with security forces
On Thursday, an eviction drive conducted by the administration in Darrang district in Assam had turned violent after encroachers of the land attacked security forces. While 9 policemen were injured in the attack by the mob of illegal encroachers, 2 attackers were killed in retaliatory police firing.
The incident took place at the Dholpur in the Garukhuti area near the Sipajhar town in Darrang district in Assam, where the Himanta Biswa Sarma government is conducting an eviction drive of illegal settlers on land belonging to the government or other organisations like temples. When the eviction party reached the place inhabited by Bengali speaking Muslims on Thursday, thousands of people clashed with the police, attacking them with stones, machetes, pointed bamboo sticks etc.
J Nandakumar, the all-India convenor of Prajna Pravah, an organisation affiliated with the RSS, speaking during a program hosted by the Youtube channel Panchjanya in the centenary year of the infamous Moplah Massacre, a forgotten chapter of Indian history, said that the communist distorians and Islamist history writers who have tried to distort and mispresent Indian history, have also glorified this massacre, depicting it as a freedom struggle.
Congress and the Communist government in Kerala paying pensions to the Moplah rioters: J Nandakumar
Until today, attempts are being made to depict the 1921 brutal Hindu genocide as a freedom struggle. The Congress and the Communist government in Kerala have gone to the extent of hailing the Moplah rioters by giving them the title of ‘freedom fighters’ and ‘martyrs’ and also providing pension to the Jihadist elements who fanned the bloodbath, said Nandakumar, adding that the Communist government has been using taxpayers money to pay pensions to these mass murderers.
The all-India convenor of Prajna Pravah said that on the completion of 100 years of the infamous 1921 Malabar massacre of Hindus by Moplah Muslims, it becomes imperative to understand the historical background of the Hindu genocide carried out by Moplah Muslim fanatics demanding a Caliphate in Malabar.
Pan-Islamic movement that swept the world in the twentieth century has resurfaced
“Many people ask me why I think it’s necessary to dig up the skeletons after 100 years. Firstly, there is a saying that if you do not understand history you are doomed to repeat it, so it is important to understand the historical background of the incident. Secondly, we have seen how fundamentalist, communalist and Islamic terrorist elements have engaged in acts of violence and terrorism throughout the world. The pan-Islamic movement that swept the world in the twentieth century has resurfaced”, said J Nandakumar.
He further added that if one considers the International scenario, the Islamist fundamentalists all over the world have declared Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan as their ‘only hope’ and have used Turkey as the epicentre for spreading terrorism. Many Islamic organisations operating in India like the Popular Front of India (PFI) or the Jamaat-e-Islami or the ones trying to create unrest in Jammu and Kashmir have openly given statements recognising Erdogan as their leader.
Islamists promoting ‘Khilafat 2.0’
He also mentioned how programs to promote ‘Khilafat 2.0’ are being held in higher educational institutions in various places. Many of you must have observed how placards and banners promoting Khilafat 2.0 had appeared during anti-CAA programs and processions organised in various places including Kerala, Jammu and Kashmir, Karnataka, Delhi etc.
PFI rally in Kerala parades chained people dressed in RSS uniform, depict the Moplah massacre of Hindus
The RSS Pracharak remembers how the Popular Front of India (PFI), an extremist Islamist organization, chose to do a rally in Kerala parading men dressed in RSS uniforms, depict the Moplah massacre of Hindus.
OpIndia, on February 19, 2021, had reported about the incident. The rally was held in Tenhipalam town in Malappuram district of Kerala. The Popular Front of India (PFI) had paraded men dressed in RSS uniforms. The men being paraded were also chained. The audio and visuals from the rally had confirmed a lot of Islamic chanting, including Allahu Akbar, la ilaha illallah Muhammad Rasulullah, and others chanted during the procession.
Islamist fanatics trying to spearhead another incident similar to the 1921 Moplah massacre: J Nandakumar
J Nandakumar revealed how during that procession carried out by PFI in Kerala, one chant which could be heard persistently and loudly was: “humane jo talwar uthaya tha 1921 mein, woh humne samundar mein feka nahi abhi bhi humare haath mein hain”, roughly translated as “the swords we picked up in 1921 was not thrown away in the oceans, it is still in our hands”.
What does this mean? It only goes on to suggest that these Islamist fanatics are trying to spearhead another incident similar to the 1921 Moplah massacre.
Kerala- the epicenter of Jihad
Thirdly, why it becomes important to understand the history of the Moplah riots is that many Islamic fundamentalists are trying to spread all sorts of jihad in the country. From ‘love jihad’ to ‘land jihad’ to ‘food jihad’ to ‘narcotics jihad’, the fanatics are doing everything in their capacity to spread such hate campaigns across the country.
J Nandakumar added how recently Bishop Mar Joseph Kallarangatt of the Pala diocese of the Syro-Malabar Church has stated that young Christian boys and girls of Kerala are being targeted for not just ‘Love Jihad’ but for ‘Narcotics Jihad’ too.
The recruitment into ISIS is also on the rise in our country. Along with this, there is this latest development in Kabul where the Islamic fundamentalists are at the helm of affairs. The RSS activist raised concerns that several analysts have warned that now Pakistan with the tactical support of the Taliban would again try and spread terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
All of the foregoing data were necessary to explain because they are the result of the blunders committed by the Hindu or the nationalist society during the 1921 Moplah Massacre, lamented J Nandakumar. They did not muster the courage to fight back against the Islamist fanatics and the result was that the estimated Hindu deaths of the ethnic cleansing in the Moplah massacre tantamounted to somewhere around 10,000 and it is believed that as many a 100,000 Hindus were forced to leave Kerala in the wake of the riots.
What happened in 1921 has a long history
The so-called Moplah Rebellion or the Khilaf movement, as believed by a lot of people, did not happen suddenly. What happened in 1921 has a long history. Though a lot of cities like Kanpur, Kolkata were affected, Kerala bore the worst brunt of the Khilafat movement’s ill effects.
J Nandakumar asserted that the beginning of Islamic terrorism in Kerala dates back to 1766 when the Islamic tyrant Hyder Ali conquered Mysore. Conflicts between Muslims and non-Muslims started during his regime. After Hyder Ali, his son Tipu Sultan carried on the legacy.
Tipu Sultan’s atrocities led to the mass exodus of Hindus from Malabar
Tipu Sultan was one of the most ruthless Islamic invaders in South India. There have been several recorded instances of Tipu’s army forcefully converting, raping and kidnapping Hindus on his orders. Many temples are recorded to have been demolished under his reign. It was under his regime that many Hindus were driven away from Malabar.
Delving into the past, J Nandakumar further informed how mass Hindus exodus from Malabar was carried out. Half the Hindus dwelling in Malabar in Kerala fleed leaving behind all their wealth and property, so that they could save their life and dignity. Mass conversions and murders were carried out. Several Hindu women were brutally raped and assaulted.
Moplah Muslims became landlords by acquiring huge swathes of land and property left behind by the Malabar Hindus
The army of Tipu Sultan, who harboured extreme animosity for the local Hindus and tribals in the area, ruthlessly hacked Hindu men, women and children to death. After killing, the bodies of Hindu men, women and children were dumped in the river. Fearing death, half of the Hindu population flee Malabar, leaving behind an immense expanse of fertile lands. The best quality of teak in the world was cultivated on these large swathes of land which the Hindus just left behind.
Tipu Sultan distributed all these lands in between the Moplah Muslims. The Muslims who then after acquiring such large masses of land, became the zamindars or the landlords and established their supremacy in Malabar and the other Northern parts of Kerala.
Between 1792 to 1921 Malabar witnessed as many as 82 large scale anti-Hindu riots
Then in 1792 Tipu Sultan lost and he had to leave Malabar. During that time, the majority of Hindus who had fled came back and reclaimed their land that was illegally distributed amongst the Moplah Muslims by the Islamic invader. This incident profoundly affected the psyche of the people of Malabar and the rift between Muslims and non-Muslims, especially Hindus began to widen.
After 1792, the spate of communal violence in Malabar increased. From 1792 to 1921 Malabar witnessed as many as 82 large scale anti-Hindu riots. The Hindu genocide in Malabar in 1972 was a continuation of the series of carnage that began in 1792.
Congress purposely ignored the brewing anti-Hindu sentiment to spearhead the Khilafat movement
Here, J Nandakumar remarked that Congress extended its support to the Khilafat movement without trying to grasp its impact. He blamed Congress leaders for dismissing the sensitivity of the circumstance and ignoring the obvious hatred against the Hindu Kafirs thriving in the hearts of the Moplah Muslims.
He said that it was obvious that the Moplah Muslims in Malabar were always ready to attack the Hindus, with or without any reason, still, the congress gave a green signal to the Khilafat movement. The Congress provided the Moplah fanatics with a reason, under the grab of the Khilafat movement, to wreak havoc and indulge in the mass murder of innocent Hindus.
After Congress joined hands with Khilafat leaders Malabar witnessed the first gruesome attack on Hindus
In 1920 an alliance was made between Khilafat leaders and the Indian National Congress and on August 20, 1921, Malabar witnessed the first gruesome attack by the Moplah Muslim community on the innocent Hindus.
The protagonist of this Islamist project, Kunjahammed Haji by spearheading the Khilafat movement, established Al-Daula (Islamic State) where he imposed jizya (religious tax) on the Hindus of his territory.
Congress glorified the Khilafat movement as a part of India’s struggle for Independence
The so-called secularist Congress glorified the Khilafat movement as a part of India’s struggle for Independence, said that RSS Pracharak, adding that the eminent Congress leaders propagated that the Khilafat movement was one where Hindus and Muslims fought together to oust the British, later, due to some distortions, riots occurred. This is what Congress has been proclaiming, but, the reality is far from what Congress wanted people to believe. “It was not started as an Independence struggle”, asserted the piqued RSS activist.
Irrespective of what Congress said, the fact is that it started as a part of a pan Islamic movement.
J Nandakumar goes on to further discuss the intrinsic nature of these particular sets of Moplah fanatics. They are terrorists driven by extremist ideologies, said the RSS Pracharak.
The seeds of the Khilafat movement were sown during World War One
Trying to establish how old and deep-rooted is the hydra of Islamism in India, J Nandakumar informed that on September 1, 1914, Mappila leaders of Malabar assembled at Himayathul Islam Sabha Hall and appealed to the community members to join hands with Britain. Before the First World War, David Lloyd George, British prime minister (1916–22) had given a clarion call asking Muslims to support Britain in World War 1 and in return he had promised to keep the Khilafat, the fight for the Caliph of Islam, alive.
Then the Muslims all over India, especially in Kerala had offered prayers in each mosque for the success of the British.
The British, however, were more cunning. After their victory, they dismantled Turkey’s Ottoman Empire and declared many regions as independent states. They restored Hagia Sophia as a Christian sanctuary.
This led to the birth of the Khilafat movement which was launched by Indian Muslims to support the preserve the authority of the Ottoman Sultan as Caliph of Islam following the breakup of the Ottoman Empire at the end of the war.
What happened at the Thuvoor well that led to 38 Hindus being slaughtered by Muslim fanatics during the Moplah genocide
Taking about what has gone down the history as the Hindu Genocide day, J Nandakumar reminisced how on the black day of 25th of September 1921, on the barren hillside between Thuvoor and Karuvayakandi in North Kerala Chambrassery Imbichi Koithangal, one of the Khilafat leaders, held a rally with over 4,000 of his followers. During this meeting, more than 40 Hindus were caught hold of and taken to him with their hands tied behind their backs. 38 were murdered. 3 of the 38 were shot but the rest were beheaded and thrown in the Thuvoor well.
He added that Annie Besant, who had visited Malabar, chronicled one such act of brutality on a Hindu pregnant woman who was so brutally murdered that her body lay on the street with her stomach hacked open by a sword with the unborn foetus strewn outside the woman’s body.
To foil the attempt to whitewash the 1921 Moplah massacre the truth should be revealed
J Nandakumar, near the end of the event, discusses how critical it is for the Moplah Massacre, which has been largely forgotten, to be brought to light. He suggested that Hindus come out in large numbers to show their solidarity for the countless Hindus who have been massacred and their descendants who have yet to recover from their losses. The reality behind the so-called Moplah Rebellion must be revealed, as must, the Islamist apologists’ attempt to whitewash the Islamist jihadist Moplahs’ carnage, said J Nandakumar.
It may be noted that while speaking in the same program, the Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath had also slammed that left historians who have been whitewashing the 1921 Malabar genocide of Hindus as a peasant uprising.
This incident serves as a grim reminder of how Jihadi elements have shamed mankind. We must give serious consideration to how India might be liberated from such Jihadist ideology, said Yogi Adityanath.
Even 100 years after the horrific 1921 Moplah massacre, the wounds of one of the bloodiest communal pogroms documented in Indian history remain fresh in the Hindu psyche. OpIndia has published a detailed report on the Moplah genocide of Hindus and 25th September 1921, the day when 38 Hindus were slaughtered and thrown in a well by a Muslim mob demanding a Caliphate in Malabar. The report can be viewed here.
How does one treat lapdogs? As it turns out, not with a whole lot of respect. The American elite went all out for Joe Biden. They were out there cleaning his messes even before he could make them. In February 2020 itself, they got together and ruled that any discussion of the lab leak theory had to be suppressed. Because the media, the so-called experts, and of course the Big Tech censors all agreed. The pandemic had to be Trump’s fault.
Over the next several months, their fellow Americans died by the hundreds of thousands. Millions of people lost their livelihoods. Across the world, there was untold misery. The human and economic cost was on a scale not seen since the 1940s. But the American elite held on to the party line. Do not blame China. In New York, the liberal governor, a key ally of Biden, sent fifteen thousand elderly Americans to Covid deaths in nursing homes. The American elite had their mouths tightly shut. When they spoke, it was to praise the liberalism of Governor Andrew Cuomo and to label themselves “Cuomosexuals.”
Then, a month before the election, a laptop emerged, with emails leading to the allegation that Biden’s son Hunter had been selling access to his dad for years. Possible clients would include shady regimes and dodgy businesses around the world, from Libya to Ukraine. But the media maintained a stony silence over the scandal. It was “Russian disinformation,” they ruled. When the New York Post dared to report on the story, Big Tech locked their social media accounts.
What did the American media get in return for such loyalty? Yesterday, President Biden humiliated the American media in front of PM Modi.
Tweet by RNC Research
Before we dissect this further, let us relish what just happened. For over two years now, the American liberal media have made it their mission to abuse PM Modi. They have called him authoritarian, fascist, human rights abuser, compared him to Nazis and the like. And here is their Supreme Leader himself — President Joseph R Biden Jr., the biggest liberal in the world, humiliating the American media in front of PM Modi.
That was pretty sweet, I must say.
By the way, what happens now to the many Gunga Din experts in India who work for the American media establishment? Will the American media keep throwing crumbs at them? Let us take a moment to relish the anxiety of the paid trolls among Indian liberal classes who are fearing for their livelihoods right now. Does this mean no more consultancy fees from think tanks or foreign fellowships to produce rants on freedom, democracy and feminism?
These Gunga Dins got so high on their own supply that they thought Biden would stick it to Modi. Instead, Biden made it a point to put the media in their place in front of PM Modi. This is what happens when the tail tries to wag the dog.
Three days ago, President Biden did much the same when he sat down Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister of Britain. In fact, it was somewhat worse. Biden didn’t even address the American media. His team kicked them out of the room, without the President even acknowledging their presence.
This is what happens to lapdogs. Because people with real power know how to put lapdogs in their place. What’s the lapdog going to do anyway? Apparently, some reporter at the Washington Post protested weakly, managing to tweet “not good, folks.” Awww…
You see, a lapdog cannot survive in the wild. Because they gave up their hunting skills, and possibly even their barking abilities, a long time ago. Like any pet, a lapdog is able to wag its tail and follow its owner. The problem however is that the lapdog is not a pet. Because the owner does not see the lapdog that way. The loyalty is purely one sided. It is good to see the American media finding out the hard way.
Ever since PM Modi came to power in 2014, the Congress party is using all the means at its disposal to mount an opposition to him. In their bid to attack PM Modi and discredit his government, the party has often resorted to ways that run against the interests of the country. Be their stand on Jammu and Kashmir or Citizenship Amendment Act or more recently the farmers’ law, painting the country in a bad light has become the hobbyhorse of the Congress party.
This Congress legacy of ceaselessly defaming India was taken forward by senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi when he posted a tweet today, expressing his disapproval of Independence Day celebrations across the country.
“When the poison of hatred is being spread in the country, then what kind of Amrit Mahotsav? What is freedom if it is not for everyone? #Assam” Rahul Gandhi tweeted.
जब देश में नफ़रत का ज़हर फैलाया जा रहा है तो कैसा अमृत महोत्सव?
India on August 15, 2021, celebrated its 75th Independence day. It was on August 15, 1947, that India became an independent, sovereign, democratic country, which was no longer under the occupation of the British. A slew of events under the banner “Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav” are being organised across the nation to mark the 75th year of India’s independence.
But for Rahul Gandhi, the momentous achievement of having completed three-quarters of a century as a thriving, democratic, sovereign country poised to become an economic powerhouse and cultural centre was perhaps not an occasion to be celebrated. Instead of partaking in the Independence Day commemorations, the Gandhi scion used the opportunity to deride India and belittle its achievement.
Gandhi scion refers to the Assam incident to denounce India’s 75th independence day celebrations
The Wayanad MP referred to the recent incident in Assam to assert that it is not an occasion to celebrate the country’s independence. A few days back, videos of the eviction drive carried out by the Assam police to weed out illegals squatting on Indian land had gone viral on the internet. In the video, the illegal sqautters were seen menacingly charging at the police personnel who had gone to vacate the land.
The vicious attack by the illegal squatters was responded to in kind by the Assam police officers. A day after the eviction drive conducted by the administration in Darrang district in Assam turned violent, Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma addressed the media to dispel the rumours doing the rounds on the internet. He said that the eviction drive was initiated with an agreed principle that landless will be provided 2 acres each as per land. “Peaceful drive was agreed upon, then who instigated the mob of illegal encroachers,” questioned the CM.
But before Himanta’s press conference, the usual suspects, who would rather have the encroachers and other unlawful immigrants such as Rohingya occupy Indian land, fell over themselves to weave a spurious narrative to demonise the Assam police and paint the aggressors as victims. They launched a concerted attack against the BJP government, alleging that the eviction drive was a bigoted plan by the RSS to evict Muslims by labelling them as Bangladeshis.
This narrative was lapped up by the opposition parties, who treated it as an opportunity to hold Himanta Biswa Sarma’s feet to fire and denigrate the BJP government in the state as ruthless and barbaric. Rahul Gandhi, too, seems to have embraced this line of attack that legitimises the claim of illegal encroachment on Indian land and calls into question the conduct of the police that had gone to reclaim the land that belongs to the country.
In his attempt to tarnish the reputation of PM Modi and the BJP, Rahul Gandhi had no qualms in spewing venom against India. The fact that the police was carrying out an eviction drive against implacably hostile encroachers of Bangladeshi origin had no bearing on the Gandhi scion. Congress and Rahul have long been accused of acting against the interests of the country, and the recent tweet by the Gandhi scion reinforces the notion that their pathological hatred for PM Modi has inevitably morphed into hatred for the country.
Gandhi’s tweet implies that he is in support of the illegal squatters who have unlawfully laid claim to vast tracts of land in Assam. This is pretty much in accordance with the Congress party’s unstated stance, where unlawful occupation is normalised so as to cultivate them as a vote bank. However, this is done at great peril to India’s national security and its independence, which it has strived hard to protect and preserve.
Rahul Gandhi belittles India’s achievement of thriving as a healthy democracy in its 75th year
Surviving the vicissitudes of time and still functioning as an independent country, with a vibrant democracy and healthy institutions is no mean feat. A cursory glance at the countries neighbouring India gives a glimpse into what could have gone wrong in these 75 years and how the institutions and framework designed by the architects of our constitution have helped the country in charting its intended course without going astray.
For a large part of its existence, India’s arch-nemesis and northwest neighbour, Pakistan, has been ruled by a military dictatorship. The assaults inflicted by years of dictatorship has severely undermined the democratic institutions in the country. As a consequence, even though PM Imran Khan is said to be democratically elected but it is widely believed that he is just a figurehead leader of Pakistan and it is the all-powerful Pakistani Army which calls the shot.
Similarly, the situation in Afghanistan is grim. The United States recently pulled out of its two-decade-long effort to establish democracy in the country as the Taliban was making rapid gains in the countryside. Then in a swift and almost bloodless coup, the Taliban stormed into Kabul and staked its claim to power, overthrowing the US-backed Ashraf Ghani government. The situation in Afghanistan continues to remain volatile as Afghans gird themselves for the return of the tyrannical rule of the Taliban that was witnessed during their regime from 1996 to 2001.
These are but two instances when democracies have frittered away gains made by them. Perhaps, the Gandhi scion does not realise the immensity of India’s achievement to continue existing as a functioning democracy. Perhaps, he and his party, Congress, are so desperate to topple PM Modi that they don’t mind India degenerating into Pakistan or even worse, into Afghanistan, if that can help them in their efforts to stall the Modi juggernaut.
The Ford Foundation, an American charitable organisation, which casts itself as a group engaged in advancing human welfare is in reality is a cesspool of intolerant and bigoted left-wing extremists, whistleblower emails quoted by Christopher Brunet on his Substack KarlStack revealed.
These left-wing ideologues and extremists, the whistleblowers claim, go to great lengths to propagate their communist views while advocating cancel culture and harassment against those who dare to voice opposing views and dissenting opinions.
The Ford Foundation Fellows’ ‘unofficial’ listserv, which is a private channel and open to existing and past Ford Foundation Fellows, is dominated by radicals who use the platform to push for persistent groupthink that is in line with extreme left-wing ideologies, one of the whistleblowers’ who is the member of the group for over two decades and has first-hand experience of discussions happening in the listserv said in an email.
“The group consists of academics whose membership in the Fellowship Programs claims to ‘seek to increase the diversity of the nation’s college and university faculties by increasing their ethnic and racial diversity, maximize the educational benefits of diversity, and increase the number of professors who can and will use diversity as a resource for enriching the education of all students’. This couldn’t be further from the truth,” the whistleblower said.
Those who do not conform to the left-leaning worldview and dare to present opposing ideologies are viciously attacked, discredited, criticised, accused of “provocation” or “racism”, and sometimes even doxxed, just because their views did not jibe with that of the left-wing bullies.

Similarly, another whistleblower also shared what has been going on unabated on the Ford Foundation’s listserv. The whistleblower asserted that the Fellows listserv is dictated and hijacked by a coterie of radical left-wing extremists that attacks anybody who does not agree with their tenets. It is the hotbed of critical race theory and anti-racist ideologies that is promoted by leftwing academia around the world and funded by the Fellowship Program.
The whistleblower highlighted the risks associated with voicing unpopular opinions and evil practices employed by the left-wing bullies to discourage others from raising such views. “If you speak up and people do not like your ideas, you risk being looked up online, on Linkedin, etc. and your profiles are shared with the listserv,” the whistleblower added.
The usual suspects that dominate the listserv and control the narrative all come from post-modern, critical theory disciplines and are at the forefront to block out criticism and dissent. “This listserv is a “progressive” authoritarian feeder into society and a major culprit in the recent attacks on our Constitution,” the whistleblower was quoted as saying on the KarlStack.
Yet another whistleblower came out in open about the rampant left-wing extremism being promoted on Ford Foundation’s listserv. The person in question thought of using it as an opportunity to engage in intelligent conversation with “educated people”.
However, the person was in for a rude awakening as she was pilloried, denounced and ridiculed, with left-wing ideologues telling her off and pontificating that she had never suffered or faced injustice. She was also told that she was abusing the fellowship by her “hurtful”, “ignorant”, “racist” words and that she should be removed from the listserv. Questions were also raised on her mental health.
Part 2 of the quotes from emails cited by Karlstack
In addition to this, someone in the group also notified her university that she held racist views, after which a colleague was sent to question her and report back. “I have not been allowed to teach since, and have been passed over for all open positions in Chemistry and Biochemistry for which I am qualified. I did continue to try to get a rational discussion going, but the abuse was so personal and virulent, I finally quit trying – I was SHUT UP, to my shame,” she lamented.
“The Ford Fellowship is simply ANTI WHITE, and in my view ANTI AMERICAN because they wish to divide our nation according to our skin colour, and give power to those who agree with their political agenda. That is ANTI DIVERSITY and UN-AMERICAN. I am very sad that American tax dollars go to support this government-created, government-sanctioned political activist organization,” the whistleblower said in her email.
Condemning the behaviour in strong terms, the whistleblower said Ford would turn over in his grave for the kind of ideologies that are nurtured and propagated at the Ford Fellowship, adding that the National Academies should rethink the structure, leadership, and mandate of the organization.
The fourth whistleblower quoted on KarlStack reminisced about an incident from 2018 when a fellow member was viciously attacked for having conservative views. The victim was called a troll, provocateur etc. and was harassed for vocalising her thoughts. In order to save herself from the attacks, she had to resort to self-censor by leaving the group, the whistleblower said.
She was called a troll, provocateur, etc. and was harassed for her views. She left the listserv, and like so many others, self-censored to avoid such attacks. The exchange that happened to this individual should be made public and condemned. This listserv should be exposed and the Fellowships Program left-wing authoritarian agenda should be made public.
These revelations bring under the spotlight the Ford Foundation, which has continued to largely operate as a charity organisation for years now. However, the latest account of the group by the whistleblowers reveal that it is nothing but an echo chamber of left-wing extremism, where not only contrasting opinions are trashed but those voicing them are subjected to severe and unsparing attacks.
The shenanigans of the Ford Foundation in shoring up left-wing causes in India
The revelations made against the Ford Foundation by the whistleblowers are shocking but not entirely surprising since the group has a storied history of bankrolling the causes championed by left-wing supporters, including that in India.
In 2015 the Government of Gujarat while investigating Teesta Setalvad’s embezzlement case came across funding by Ford Foundation to her entities. It was found that her trust had violated FCRA norms. Sabrang Communication and Publishing Pvt Limited, with which Teesta is associated, received $ 2.9 lakh from Ford Foundation as a grant to “address communalism, caste-based discrimination in India, including media strategies”.
Later, a letter was issued by the Gujarat Police, following which the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) expressed its intention of probing the activities of the Ford Foundation. This probably set off a chain of events, most of which happened in the background and was later revealed by Wikileaks.
As per the leaked emails, Ford Foundation claims that they got embroiled in a controversy over its funding to Sabrang Trusts managed by Teesta Setalvad. The letter titled Ford Foundation in India: Notes to John Podesta dated May 26, 2015, also mentions their funding to Arvind Kejriwal’s NGO before he got into politics as a possible reason for Government’s action.
This was confirmed by none other than one of the leading luminaries of the Indian left-wing firmament, Ms Arundhati Roy. In an interview with Sagarika Ghose, Roy talked about one of the articles that she wrote for The Hindu in which she alleged that NGOs of Kejriwal and Sisodia had received over $400,000 from Ford Foundation in three years of time. Roy claimed that the group of ten people who were the top ‘management’ of the movement had well-funded NGOs. She said that three core members of the team had won Magsaysay Award which is also funded by Ford Foundation.
The war on gender by the ‘Woke’ Left has not been too kind to women. Apart from having to compete with biological men in sporting events, women have also had the misfortune of being called names that are wildly offensive. ‘Menstruators’ and ‘vulva owners’ are only a couple of those. Now, esteemed medical journal The Lancet has gone one step ahead and labelled them “bodies with vaginas”.
Historically, there has been a name to address such ‘bodies’; women they are called. But in the New World Order, gender represents just another obstacle that must be overcome so that our ‘Gender Identity Overlords’ (GIOs) can reign supreme.

Along expected lines, The Lancet received a great deal of criticism on social media for their insulting description of women. But that is unlikely to inspire any introspection on their part. The GIOs are convinced of their assumed moral superiority, and nothing could deter them from their path.
Does @TheLancet have no shame about dehumanizing living, breathing, thinking, feeling women as mere ‘bodies with vaginas’?
Honestly can’t believe that you can’t see what’s happening here. You’re telling us that you’ve noticed that for hundreds of years you’ve neglected and overlooked women…and then…in the same breath..you are unable to name those people you’ve been ignoring. Why can’t you see it?
How is it that “one of the world’s leading general medical journals” with a motto of “The best science is a good start” seemingly doesn’t know what a woman is?!
“bodies with vaginas” is unscientific and incredibly demeaning.
Needless to say, women are not too happy with the phrase that was used to describe them.
You’ve failed to combat the stigma of menstruation. In fact, you’ve added to the misogyny by erasing the word women. ‘Bodies with vaginas’ could refer to cows, mares or sows. Stop dehumanising us.
“Bodies with vaginas”? No. We’re women. We are biologically women. We identify as women. And we’re hell of a lot more than just “bodies with vaginas. The attempt to negate or water down our identities in order to cater to some twisted wokeness is vile. https://t.co/vfjXRgVY2T
The war on gender, and biological sex, has gained widespread acceptance among the medical fraternity fairly recently. The mainstream media, which has been at the forefront of it as the flagbearer of ‘woke’ politics, has jumped on the bandwagon only in the past five or six years.
The ‘Woke’ camp engages in biological denialism with great fervour, it is the central theme of their philosophical doctrine. Insulting terms such as ‘menstruators’, ‘bodies with vaginas’ stems from the idea, endorsed by the ‘Woke’, that biological sex itself is a myth.
Over the past few years, there have been loud proclamations from very influential people that biological sex does not exist and is a myth.

The dehumanising words used to describe women flows from this central idea. Now, stating ordinary facts such as that only women menstruate and only women can get pregnant is sufficient enough to attract a torrent of abuses and threats. Just ask J.K. Rowling.
The Lancet does not use insulting words for men
For some reason, however, the medical journal did not use some twisted phrase to describe men. While raising awareness about prostrate cancer, they did not call men “people with prostrates”, or whatever might be the appropriate term. They simply decided to use the word ‘men’.
About 10 million men are currently living with a diagnosis of prostate cancer—making it a major health issue.
Surely, if men can menstruate, which is the reason why women have been reduced to “bodies with vaginas”, it logically follows that women can also have prostrate glands. But The Lancet does not appear to care about such naturally gifted ‘women’.
The theology of Woke politics collapses under the weight of its own inconsistencies. Therefore, it’s almost pointless to debunk their claims with “facts” and “logic”. But, perhaps, it is precisely the reason that almost the entire ‘intellectual class’ in the West has become its most devoted adherents.
As Curtis Yarvin, or Mencius Moldbug as he likes to call himself, says, “In many ways nonsense is a more effective organizing tool than the truth. Anyone can believe in the truth. To believe in nonsense is an unforgeable demonstration of loyalty. It serves as a political uniform. And if you have a uniform, you have an army.”
