Wanted : Poltergeist with a pasion for doing dishes

Govts in India create large and expensive infra projects based on what the current political party, bureaucracy, private companies, international banks/ funding agencies want. Project sustainability, cost, environmental feasibility, land rights of the indigenous residents, fragility & biodiversity of the hills don’t matter.

The first Teesta III dam was destroyed in an earthquake, as this is a seismically active zone. Environmnetal and technical experts warned against building the 2nd Tessta III dam (this one that has burst), because of the danger that any of the 313 glacial lakes upstream were growing larger due to theglacier melting and would burst in a GLOF incident (which just happened). Sikkimese people who had lived for generations in the hills were displaced, their land rights ignored, and the unique fragile biodiversity of the land laid to waste. Yet, India’s enviromental ministry gave it the go-ahead and the project is classified as a green, clean and renewable energy. The Teesta III project also cost more than the GDP of the state of sikkim where it is/was located.

The New York Times failed to include PSF’s categorical denial of foreign funding, and instead left readers to believe that the source of PSF’s funding (or Roy’s for that matter) might have come from China, rather than from the sale of ThoughtWorks. Their salacious headlines and misleading ‘reporting’ have now directly contributed to the arrest of innocent journalists.

Given the repression that is now taking place, it begs the question as to whether India is a safe place for foreign investors who carefully follow Indian law.

hello sanghi

Shouldnt that first one be called Portugander?

I like your stuff. Your first one was very relatable. this one too in a existentialist testing the limits sort of way.

keep up the good work.

I understand very well what they’re saying and what you’re doing. The chant they’re using is the chant used by violent Hindu supremacists to incite fear and hate in India’s minority religions.

Hindu supremacists use that chant as a battle cry while inciting & commiting acts of communal violence to terrorise India’s minority religions (primarily, Muslims & Christians). They force Indian Muslims to say their chant and then lynch them to death. They used it while they burned Australian missionary doctor Graham Staines and his 2 little boys alive.

Islamic terrorists like ISIS misused ‘Allahu Akbar’ for the same purpose, to inspire hate & terror.

You are minimizing this act of terror by Hindu supremacists in Australia and by doing so are supporting Hindu extremeism in Australia.

Neither their rally nor their using the chant used by Hindu extremeists in India to terrorise minority religions is normal.

curses?

Fuck cancer. Get well soon, Richard.

This week footage was shared on social media showing a group of young men marching through Harris Park shouting Hindu chants that have been used in vigilante attacks on Muslims in India.

Its the upbringing. The poverty there is not just financial poverty, it’s moral. Life in India is about the cruel exercise of power to benefit oneself. by dominating, subjugating, & mentally breaking the other Patriarchy, caste, religion all have the same aim so do their physical manifestations of abuse, domestic violence, rape, caste atrocities, and religious extremeism. This is common across India & to all Indians, irrespective of whether they’re rural/ urban, rich/ poor.

Rapists get the velvet glove treatment from their family, their community, the justice system, & even political parties, while rape victims & survivors get the iron fist. Victims are socially shunned & vilified by their community. Most of the time, their own families deny/ hide the rape because knowledge of it will bring shame the victim & her family. plus knowldge of rape will increase the dowry they’ll have to pay to her future husband’s family, because she’ll be “soiled/used”.

Its a food-chain, where the mighty abuse the small, the small abuse the smaller, the smaller abuse the … . And Dalit girls & women are the bottom of this food-chain. they face gender atrocities from the men & women of thei own family & their community, and they face caste atrocity from men and women of othercastes since every caste sees them as legitimate prey.

Socially rape is not treated as a crime, but as a matter of exercising right of the strong over the weak. Mothers lead in defend their rapist sons saying ‘boys will be boys.’, ‘its her fault for wearing what she was wearing/ doing what she was doing’, ‘its her fault, she tempted my son’. ‘girls from decent families don’t get raped, her family upbringing caused her rape’ , ‘what was she doing there at that time?’, ‘it was mutual, now shes lying to trap my son/ take revenge on my son/ save herself’. If she didn’t take the lead, her marital family & her husband will blame & abuse her for not raising her son right and for not supporting her own son.

The police behave the way society does, Law for them is a tool to exercise their power, to benefit themselves. Rape cases rarely come to light, when they do they rarely get registered, When the case gets registered, they rarely make it to our courts bcause the police ask the families to settle their ‘dispute’ or the rapists family files a counter case against the victim’s family to pressurise them to withdraw. Once the case is registered, the rapist gets taken to judicial custody for 15 days, and then they get released on bail. Once out on bail they, with the active support of their family & community & political leaders, terrorise the victim’s family to withdraw the case against them. The police might give them a slap on the wrist if the victim’s family complains.

When it does make it to our courts, years will have passed, the victim will not be willing to re-live her trauma due to the legit fear that the rapists’ lawyer will have her narrate the incident repeatedly with invasive and trauma-inducing questions in a court-room with her family and the rapist’s family & community as audience, The rapists’s counsel will try to get the case postponed many times, the judge will oblige. The rapis will change his counsel so the victim will be questioned again by the new lawyer , again in open court with an audience.

All this while, the victim & her family will be socially shunned & financially strained because of the lawyers fees & court fees.

If the rape trial finds the rapist guilty, he will after a short time in prison be granted bail/parole and will be free to terrorise the victim & her family. the rapist might even get early release.

If the rape is committed as an act of religious extremeism, then political parties wanting to woo the rapists commuity for votes, will welcome the rapist with garlands and give them pride of place in their public meetings. you can read up on the Bilkis Bano or the Ram Rahim case, if all this sounds made up.

And look at how polite they started off, and all they used as a slur is mild ‘leftist’. Its shocking to know they’re capable of civilized speech, if not civilized actions. If a Hindu extremeist (this is what sanghis and bhakts are) ever starts talking politely to Indians, they’d all rush to get their hearing checked.

‘leftist’ is the mildest slur in the Hindu extremeist lexicon for anyone who disagrees with them. The rest are equally laughable and most of the sllurs are strung together in a mindless word salad, so the effect is comic.

you started off politely but derailed after 3 sentences.

This toon says it all

Representatives from YouTube and Meta also told her they worried that removing hateful influencers would physically endanger the firms’ employees in India.

And yet these ultra-powerful mega-wealthy organizations did not raise the issue with the US gov or the Indian govt to ensure safety of their employees for adhering to corporate standards nor did they shut shop in India till the Modi govt guaranteed the safety of their staff. these SMs know modi needs them to spread his hate-filled agenda.

X/ twitter is partly owned by Islamic UAE, yet they let Hindu supremacists say the vilest Islamophobic comments, post vile acts of violence against Muslims. So much for Islamic ummah.

To this day, trying to get an Islamophobic a/c down on any of the SMs mentiond is an act of patience and oftentimes futility.
