Congress ne becha hai toh sahi hi hoga

This clip is from the OP Sindoor documentary. Look at the clarity of the political leadership and this man, Ajit Doval.

You might hate the current government and have your reasons for doing so, but none of us can deny that they have shown Pakistan its place multiple times. In the documentary, Indian DGMO Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai talks about how his Pakistani counterpart was pleading with him to stop the attacks. Just watch the way India delayed the talks with the Pakistani DGMO—Kairana Hills, if you know, you know. Lt Gen Ghai's expressions say enough.

It also shows how JD Vance warned the Indian Prime Minister that Pakistan could inflict heavy damage. Modi's response was essentially: tell them our response would be three times theirs. And yet the opposition wants us to believe “Modi is scared of them” and “Modi is a coward.” Seriously?

According to the documentary, one of the incidents that contributed to India's severe response was a missile aimed towards the Delhi area, intercepted near Sirsa, Haryana. Some reports even claimed it was aimed at the PM's residence. That escalation eventually put Pakistan in a position where it was pleading for a ceasefire.

This is precisely why I trust this political leadership. I remember watching India's response after 26/11. It was, frankly, far too restrained. Everything seemed to be calculated around ensuring that a particular vote bank wasn't upset.

That's not how a government should function. A government isn't there only to protect its vote bank. It is responsible for every Indian—including the people who were murdered in 26/11.

Whatever your political affiliation, watch this documentary. Watch it for the armed forces, watch it for the decisions taken by India's political and military leadership, and feel proud of what our people accomplished.

PS: And watch it for the guy who announced OP Sindoor to the world. I remember seeing that tweet at 2 AM while travelling back to my hometown.

Beautiful lines captured this while watching OP Sindoor documentary

This is the real Independence bro. You are independent to bring your side chick over your wife and place her in seating position above your cabinet ministers just to salute her.

Deleted scenes from Modi and Rahul Gandhi's life

Happy Independence Day to India and to Indians the ones who believe they are.

I’m not sure how many of us know about KPS Gill, the IPS officer who played a decisive role in eliminating the Khalistani insurgency in Punjab.

Punjab the land that gave India heroes like Maharaja Ranjit Singh, Sukhdev and Bhagat Singh — has never disappointed the nation.

There was a time when DIG A.S. Atwal, a serving senior police officer, was murdered outside the Golden Temple after offering prayers. His body could not even be immediately recovered, and Punjab Police officers reportedly had to plead with Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale for permission to take it away.

Even after Operation Blue Star and Bhindranwale's death, the violence continued. Hindus were targeted, but so were Sikhs who opposed militancy, police officers, politicians and ordinary civilians. Punjab itself was being held hostage by armed extremists.

Then came KPS Gill.

As Punjab's DGP, Gill built an aggressive, intelligence-driven counter-insurgency operation and systematically dismantled the leadership and networks of the militant organisations. His campaign became so feared that there was a saying that a new terrorist had a life expectancy of barely six months once the police identified him.

The 1992 elections, followed by the government of Beant Singh and Gill's counter-insurgency campaign, became an important turning point. By the mid-1990s, the organised insurgency that had once threatened Punjab had been decisively crushed.

I consider KPS Gill's contribution to India comparable, in its own way, to that of Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.

Kalam helped build India's technological and strategic strength through programmes such as the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme. Gill fought a different kind of battle — he helped reclaim an entire state from an armed separatist insurgency and, in doing so, helped protect India's territorial integrity.

And yet, how many young Indians today even know his name?

Gill did receive the Padma Shri in 1989, but his contribution deserves far greater recognition in our national memory.

Today, as the snake of Khalistan is once again showing its head, and a Delhi-based IITian-turned-politician appears willing to unleash and exploit such forces to remain politically relevant, we should remember what it took to defeat the movement the first time.

I hope that someday I become an IPS officer myself. There are several officers I admire, but KPS Gill stands apart.

For me, he represents something larger than a police career.

Post-Independence India has had people who built the nation, people who strengthened it, and people who stood on the front line when its unity was under threat. KPS Gill was one of those people.

Beautiful composition and lyrics why we never used it earlier.

Going by his track record, it’s highly possible Modi might do exactly this. He has repeatedly turned every abuse thrown at him into political ammunition. People have predicted his downfall since the Godhra riots and before almost every election, yet Modi walks in and walks out victorious.

Hate me all you want, but he is a 3-time CM and 3-time PM. He knows people don't just vote for his party; they vote for him. Watch NDTV’s 2019 election coverage and you'll understand what I mean. You'd have to be insane to write him off because of one crass speech by Rahul Gandhi.

Congress needs to take that mic away from Rahul Gandhi. Even if he's trying to cater to Gen Z, eventually they too will find this crass, and Gen Z polarisation could eventually polarise other generations in the opposite direction.

Don't be surprised if he says in 2029:

“Bhaiyon aur behno, yeh meri zindagi ka aakhri chunav hai. Mujhe aapka aashirwad chahiye.”

BOOM.

Imagine the outrage if BJP were in opposition and said, "PM ko thokne aaye thay." Like this, they would pull in RSS, Bhagwa Terror, Hindutvawadi and give the choicest of abuses, and the person would be rotting in jail for life with UAPA slapped on him.

With recent developments and announcements from CJP, it's quite evident that they are part of Kejriwal's political revival plan, and that mob had around 2,800 people convicted of various crimes previously. Or is he saying everyone wanted a piece of Modi? Maybe that was the plan. If not Modi, then any other BJP MP. That's why the march was carried out.

But I know someone would come to justify this statement too, because violence is justified if it's carried out against someone with a different political opinion. That's the basic ideology of liberals. Someone would say, "Modi darr gaya." Literally, trust me, if someone attacks him, they don't expect him to defend himself either. If he does, the liberal ecosystem will say, "Modi darr gaya, is liye usne falane ko maara." This is the level of hypocrisy that is being served, and people out here and on other social media apps justify it.

I will be voting for the second time in general elections, and I wish Modi wins, only to see these people seethe.

I don't know, but who is this Instagram influencer trying to fact-check our Lord Dhruv Rathee? What credentials does this man hold?

Sir Rathee worked for the kattar imandar leader Kejriwal (who also claimed to be a pressure group until 2011), and now we have the new kattar imandar CJP. Sir Rathee has been accused of being selective about the topics he covers, but can't he choose what topics he wants to speak about? Where is his freedom of choice? And who are you peasants to question him about the topics he selects?

He is activated whenever they need a video against BJP. He made 7 videos on CJP, so obviously he's tired now and that's why he's silent on the Jharkhand protest. Prove your credibility before questioning him.

Last time liberal cinephiles on YouTube like PJ Explained, Mohitverse and Shan Parashar mocked him, roasted him and questioned whether he had actually seen Dhurandhar. But who are they to question him, boss? His videos were played at Congress rallies. He has 20 people researching topics for him, and apparently all he needs is a message from a certain political office to get started.

Look at his subscribers in our most friendly neighbourhood, Pakistan. He is practically their only source of knowledge. The guy is doing everything to save our democracy, and apparently, to do that, he can misrepresent facts or spread a little propaganda. You can't question him. Look at the bigger picture.

He's also an independent YouTuber who genuinely loves this country. That's why he only targets certain political parties. He'll question the others once he's finished saving democracy.

A man who literally ran an empire and a parallel power structure in UP was brought down. This is something people should be proud of this government for achieving. I want every mafia don, regardless of political affiliation, treated the same way.

But the same librandus who blame Modi, Hindus, Hinduism, RSS and Hindutva even if a Hindu man farts somehow never ask Akhilesh Yadav or Rahul Gandhi how Atiq Ahmed survived politically for so long and eventually reached Parliament.

I'm not saying BJP is a saint. They have their share of convicts and controversial figures. But even BJP's ardent supporters question the party when it brings in people like Ajit Pawar. Where is that same accountability on the other side?

BJP gave Mulayam Singh Yadav a Padma Vibhushan, and BJP supporters themselves questioned it. Yet I rarely see the same liberal journalists and voices questioning Congress, SP or their own political ecosystem with the same intensity.

Bollywood stars were falling over themselves to support the Jantar Mantar protest. Where are they for the Jharkhand protest? Akhilesh Yadav's government even gave ₹50,000 monthly pensions to artists, including Anurag Kashyap. The same people who obsess over Modi's security, cars, travel and Kanwar Yatra expenditure as "taxpayer money" somehow don't apply the same scrutiny here.

Have you seen Dhruv Rathee, Kunal Kamra or the usual liberal voices questioning these things with the same intensity? You won't. The scrutiny is selective.

And then there's Zubair, their favourite "fact-checker". His editing of the Nupur Sharma clip and the controversy that followed are things they rarely want to examine critically. Instead, the same people who demand accountability from everyone else suddenly become extremely defensive when someone from their ideological camp is questioned.

I'm glad Modi doesn't entertain this ecosystem with endless press conferences. I've seen his older interviews too, and he has clearly never been particularly interested in playing along with these andolan-jeevis.

If these aren't double standards, then what are?

And I already know someone will crawl into the comments to justify every single example I've mentioned, because that's exactly what they do. If you can find an excuse for everything your ideological side does while demanding absolute accountability from the other side, you're not defending principles. You're defending your team.

That's the reality of Indian police services many a times you get rewarded or punished I would say for doing your job exceptionally well.. IPS officers should be given an option to challenge such politically motivated decisions in court.

​

Neha Bora was asked to leave the stage at the Jharkhand protest because of the Azadi slogans, and her association was seen as something that could malign the protest. But the moot point is that people on reddit sided with Dipke, saying, "Woh kya kar leta agar koi stage pe kuch bhi bol de?"

Bhai, you're the face of the protest. You decide who gets the stage. If you can't control your own stage, don't expect people to take your leadership seriously.

Haven't seen his master Kejriwal or Dhruv Rathee make videos on the Jharkhand protest. By the way, Rathee made 3-4 videos on the CJP protests. Abhi tak neend nahi khuli iski?

Someone will come and justify the liberal ecosystem's silence, just like Ravish Kumar saying they can't cover everything. The problem is the selective outrage. They cherry-pick issues, push a narrative, and people blindly consume it. The real andhbhakts are those who never question them.

Leaving it here

Me participating in Anti Reservation protest realizing that the society and govt will shoot me

Not sure if this a rumour but there have been instances of self immolation in protest in past that has made even nastiest dictators step down

Since my lay off in 2024 I haven't seen any change in my career trajectory or finance. To be honest I am struggling. Any clue by when things should fall in place

Since my lay off in 2024 I feel my career and my finance is stagnant. There isn't upward progress. The only progress I have made is in on increasing my debt
