In this year-end op-ed in The Wire, Raju Rajagopal demolishes the preposterous theory concocted by India’s Disinfo Lab that there is an international conspiracy against India and that Hindus for Human Rights is part of such a “conspiracy.”

Dangerous developments in Indian occupied Kashmir. Remember, the Indian army operate under special laws that grants them impunity, they also cut the internet/communications to ensure their war crimes aren’t captured & shared easily with the rest of the world.

People need to understand how bad things are in Gaza. Yet so many are so hopelessly indoctrinated with hatred of Arabs and Muslims that there will still be those making excuses for this terrible mass murder of civilians however many are killed, however many football stadia are…

This is despicable. It’s happening a lot. But one reoccurring pattern in all these incidents is that there’s never CCTV footage of the crime occurring. It’s almost as if….

The radically Islamophobic Geerts Wilders takes over Netherlands politics in the midst of a mutual embrace with the Hindu nationalist movement, which seeks to ethnically cleanse India of Muslims.

Christmas is supposed to be a time of joy and celebration. But for Christians in Gaza—whose family members have been killed or maimed, whose homes and churches have been destroyed or badly damaged, and who suffer through sleepless nights of bombings—this Christmas will be one of…

Never done this - just talked to a camera - but words are failing when it comes to sex abuse in the church. Please share it to people who might listen to a voice instead

As for the statement itself, it is successful in accomplishing the bare minimum. It affirms the facts laid out by the FBI/DOJ and expresses concern. That's fine but it's not nearly enough. The statement should not endorse and trust India to investigate it's own murder plot.

Bera is a genocide denier, perhaps the only elected in the US denying that the Indian government murdered thousands of Sikhs in 1984; CA state legislature recently passed a unanimous genocide resolution. Raja + Shri also openly support the American wings of India/Modi/BJP/RSS.

🧵My response to Indian Americans in Congress statement re India's plot to assassinate US Sikhs.

First, it's a good first step that Bera, Raja, Shri even put their name on a statement with a critical word re India. Fairly sure we can thank Khanna and Jayapal for that.
