So says an apologist for Britain’s colonial crimes.
Narendra Modi’s party had used sleazy political tactics and its control of institutions to break up rival state parties and lure away their lawmakers. Voters accepted that. Under dispute now is whether the game itself is fixed economist.com/asia/2026/10/1…
Gandhi family retainer #PawanKhera on Marco Rubio: “Who cares what a White man says?”
Would that apply to White women, including his boss Sonia Gandhi & half-White man Rahul Gandhi?
Besides which, articles in @ThePrintIndia & elsewhere while comparing past SIRs don’t mention the extraordinary 22-year gap between this SIR & the last SIR in 2004. 22 years of detritus — from illegals to deceased to undocumented to shifted permanently— needed serious vacuum cleaning.

#JeanDreze (he’s not on X) & @_YogendraYadav have together produced an article with dodgy arguments & an accidental admission: #WestBengal at 8.4% had one of the fewest #SIR deletions, among the 9 states studied, of dead, shifted & undocumented voters. #Gujarat at 17.4% had the most.

A honest first hand account by an Indian American on the lies peddled by New York Times Washington post et al.
Silicon Valley entrepreneur Vivek @wadhwa’s excellent op-ed mocks disappointment in Western media over India’s “street revolution” which failed to bring about the regime change it thought was imminent based on reports from reliable sources in #KhanMarket.
Must read, especially the parts that expose the dishonesty of @nytimes, @washingtonpost & other US/British media which refused to publish proven facts on the protests, instead publishing lies hindustantimes.com/opinion/t…

Reuters is British & not to be trusted.
Kamta Prasad has been shuttling between government offices in Delhi trying to prove he is not dead. The 53-year-old tailor is among 130 million names removed from India's electoral rolls under a voter roll revision that has sparked mass protests and posed the biggest challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government reut.rs/4i8ZcG6

Because they know neither democracy nor English.
Why do Indian leaders use the word #Regime? Isn’t India a democracy with a democratically elected government?

Scavenging, scavenging, scavenging to find bad news in India’s consumption story, @livemint searches hard for empirical evidence to bolster its premeditated conclusion but comes up empty.
True nature of @Cockroachisback exposed. Those media cockroaches who backed this motley bunch of nobodies will look very stupid if the threat to the judge’s life came from a cockroach party supporter.
Who said “all” forces trying to hold India back are foreign? I didn’t. They are instigators.
But India has plenty of local Mir Jafars & Jaichands who, disgracefully, work against India’s national interest.

Rahul will praise only disasters like Neha Bohra not Smit Machchhar who saved people from disasters
Al Arabiya TV yesterday interviewed India’s heroic Captain Smit Machchhar in his Abu Dhabi hospital where he’s recuperating after saving the lives of over 174 passengers on a Flydubai Boeing 737.
Has @RahulGandhi praised him even once? No.
What a small man.
