The Indian budget every year has always been an eagerly awaited event. For many decades, the best minds in economics, finance, tax, business and industry throng the media house to analyze the provisions shared by the Financial Minister.
Sometimes major events completely disconnected may be data points for the plans of the different powers around the world. The challenge is to discern what purpose they serve? More critically, what are we moving towards?
When the US Ambassador threatened India's "Strategic Autonomy" policy over India's friendship with Russia - much more than meets the eye was at stake. Let us unpack how the Ukraine war has fundamentally changed the US and the world. And why are we here anyway?
Given the atrocious role being played by so-called journalists from BBC, NYT, Washington Post, Economist et al; it is important to show facts on Kashmir. Growing up all these years to treat these media outlets with not just respect but reverence; it is quite a turn to see how they report on issues that one actually understands something about! And,iyaz that has made me think – if they are painting Kashmir with their sickeningly fake brush, then what about the other issues that I did not know about? What havoc have they played in the world until now?
Thankfully, in the case of Kashmir, there are authentic people who are taking these fake journalists on in the social media realm. For example, J&K Police Officer Imtiyaz Hussain.
On Aug 26th, he discussed how the main news outlets were selectively choosing their ideological reportage of news.
There’ve been 02 killings since August 04 in Kashmir. One person killed by Pakistan backed terrorists and another a truck driver by Pakistan instigated rioters. None of these reported by @AJEnglish@BBCUrdu or @nytimes because it doesn’t fit in the scheme of their propaganda. https://t.co/TCEcw2JNz4
He explains that the killings that have happened are due to Pakistan backed terrorists and of those terrorists. But did these news outlets report that? NO!
Also one terrorist and one policeman killed in a gunfight in Baramulla. Total 04 killings since August 04. There is no so called siege or lockdown. People are free to move and there is huge rush on roads. https://t.co/7tIWnPqSUY
Actually, Aditya Raj Kaul had shown pictures of how the Pakistani terrorists had killed two innocent Kashmiri Muslims there. But no outrage or reportage from BBC or others. And Aarti Tikoo Singh, Associate Editor at Hindustan Times called it out.
This is what @washingtonpost@nytimes@BBCNews@Reuters@AJEnglish & their likes in India turn a blind eye to. This is the fascism that they justify by writing tearjerkers on Pakistan-backed terrorists & rioters in Kashmir & present them as ‘peaceful protestors’. DISGRACEFUL. https://t.co/egi7rF9j8c
And, then a truck driver was lynched and killed by stone pelters. BBC tried to justify that killing by saying that the stone pelters thought that it was an Army truck. As if that is justification enough? Want to see how they justify someone lynching British Army personnel in Afghanistan!!
In this @BBCUrdu story the reporter presumes on behalf of rioters that truck would be carrying security forces,thus killed the truck driver. What a shameful justification of murder by learned journalist! Shame needs to die of shame. RIP Journalism. https://t.co/IavSNwRCs8
Truth is the ultimate causality in journalism driven by agenda. Wish we had reporters on ground reporting truth. Absolving murderers is no journalism. https://t.co/zzCRLmay4M
And, then as shamefully as they had peddled that nonsense, they took that out, without an apology of course! But Imtiyaz had already taken a screenshot of that from the BBC!
It’s important to portray a truthful picture of Kashmir situation because a lot of Pakistani boys reading these BBC Urdu exaggerated stories widely shared on social media get motivated to join terrorist ranks & come to Kashmir creating trouble. https://t.co/kYFb8zOLEu
BBC, Washington Post, New York Times, Economist, Guardian are all ideologically compromised into an Islamist agenda globally. That is quite clear for most of us who care and know the situation on the ground in areas where they report in such a shoddy and shameful manner. It is time now to take them to the task and bring down these last vestiges of colonial and imperial power. The power to define who we are simply by writing whatever can help portray how their masters want us to look like!

This visit of India left me with many questions. Many observations and inputs from different people and sections. Food for thought that I have tried to contemplate on and make sense of. Sharing all that with you.
When you analyze the last 60 years of the economic miracles of Singapore, South Korea and Malaysia versus the continued impoverished Indian economy, you get very interesting lessons. Can Indians have the wherewithal in them to do in one generation so that the coming generations may rise?
