If you're going around giving patriotism certificates,India's only Muslim majority state now UT J & K has a fertility rate of 1.6 way below national TFR of 2.2.South Indian states like Kerala: 1.7, TN: 1.6, K'taka: 1.7 not that different. Contrast to Bihar: 3.2, UP: 3, MP: 2.8🙂 https://t.co/1Tk5zTxoQq

Like demonetisation, PM's Kashmir move is driven by populism, that startles opponents, thrills supporters, and works on the Realpolitik principle, where the strong do what they can, and the weak suffer what they must. https://t.co/PJz1vvnKmV

Pakistan’s rejection of the 20th century’s greatest Muslim scientist because he happened to practice the “wrong” form of Islam reminds us that in the end nations that embrace religious bigotry usually pay a price for it. #Ahmadiyya https://t.co/4qJK4LEUMd

1/2 @DevjyotGhoshal I liked your thread. I too believe that the Kashmiri is angry and seething. But that is how it has been each time a lockdown happens. When we claim things are normal one never refers to the mood of the Kashmiri. That is highly unpredictable and dangerous https://t.co/umfoRsgd1s

I wasn't inclined to tweet about #Kashmir, but after seeing the amount of disinformation, I am going to.
I'm back in the newsroom today after a week in Srinagar.
Things are NOT normal.
People are seething. Kashmir is likely a tinderbox waiting for a spark.

Yes remember this by @swaminomics arguing for Kashmir independence where in he says parallels between British rule in India & Indian rule in Kashmir too close for comfort. Some may have genuinely changed their mind since but most just falling in line now. https://t.co/HoC6D5o44A

So what was portrayed as an independent voice from Kashmir supporting Article 370 turns out to be senior BJP leader. Both ABP News and AdityaRajKaul did not find his political affiliation worth mentioning or shall we just say that they ‘forgot’ to mention it. 8/8 🤔

This zombie snail. A parasitic worm Leucochloridium has taken over its motor functions and eye stalks, making them into caterpillar mimics so birds will eat them. The worm can then reproduce in the bird's GI tract, eventually transmitting via its faeces 🤯 https://t.co/mP8IrGh21L pic.twitter.com/C2xc83oU54

Arguing here with a Kashmiri about a year ago, I made the point that Kashmir Valley could never hope to be independent and Kashmiri obduracy would 1 day lead 2 India shedding all inhibitions & simply imposing its will on the Valley. Never expected it would come 2 that though.
