When men treat women as their 'precious property' to be guarded at all times, most women (not all) understand only the 'precious' part and ignore the 'property' part. They are happy until they realize the order of significance in which most men (not all) arrange those two words. 3 weeks ago

If Hindus condone the fundamentalist way in which the fringe Hindu elements have taken the center stage, tags like 'Hindu Talibans' and 'Hindu terrorists' would keep coming. Hindus must protect Hinduism from such branding by standing against violence in the name of religion. twitter.com/sambitswaraj/s… 4 weeks ago

@Tweet_WithLove @BDUTT If you find your nation the same then either you are blind and deaf, or you are talking of a nation other than India. And I am also an ordinary citizen who walks the same roads that you do everyday. Just that I can see, hear and empathise. 3 months ago

@ZMalekActor @NilanjanaSengu4 @awryaditi So, not the 'nostalgia and old movies', only the consumerist fixation with the new and the next is allowed to cloud one's judgment, right? Not Shakespeare or Dickens, but Chetan Bhagat must determine what's literature. Classics, after all, are old and nostalgia-inducing. 3 months ago

@NilanjanaSengu4 @ZMalekActor @awryaditi Also, Aamir and Shahrukh still don't have the body of work that could qualify them for such comparisons with Mr. Bachchan. Aamir Khan may still be in the reckoning. SRK? Certainly not. 3 months ago

@NilanjanaSengu4 @ZMalekActor @awryaditi Oh, by the way, if it is about the 'God Of Cinema' remark against someone's saying that it's Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan, well, I agree with you, and that's because it is a mistake to club Aamir and Shahrukh in a single bracket, to begin with. 3 months ago

@NilanjanaSengu4 @ZMalekActor @awryaditi You will stick to your opinion because you still consider your opinion defensible or simply because "everyone has their own opinion"? I don't know the context of this remark, but I find it funny that people want to "stick to their opinions" for such weird reasons. 3 months ago

@awryaditi @SrBachchan Also, please do understand that it morally obligatory for you to explain yourself because you can't assert the moral right to criticize someone for something that you practice yourself unless you categorically admit that the criticism is also, in part, self-criticism. 3 months ago

@awryaditi @SrBachchan Could you please enlighten us about your 'master creeper' reference to Mr. Bachchan? I am assuming you have some very strong reasons. And if not, your said remark falls in exactly the same category of 'abusive remarks/comments' that you are taking issue with. 3 months ago

@SambittPatra But you can't understand this, can you? Saying that there is an atmosphere of intolerance is not the same thing as saying 'India is or Indians are intolerant', just like criticizing the PM or the government is not the same thing as being 'Anti-National', whatever that might mean. 3 months ago

@SambittPatra And the Supreme Court was never targeted. A motion for the impeachment of any judge does not imply a distrust of the courts or the Supreme Court. The Chief Justice of India is not the Supreme Court. He is one of the judges of the Supreme Court, only 'first among the equals'. 3 months ago

@SambittPatra Any Bench for any matter will be convened by the CJI only. So, one should not approach the Supreme Court and should not accept the verdict if one is not satisfied with the way the CJI functions in order to protest or 'target'? 3 months ago

@chetan_bhagat So, you become this fountain of political sagacity only when your preferred political party is at the receiving end, or does your cup of wisdom brim with such sumptuous Machiavellian wine even otherwise? We know the answer, don't we? 3 months ago

@chetan_bhagat No, they do not work on twitter either. Look at yourself. You are basically saying that there is no room for ethics in politics, which amounts to saying that politics is legitimately unethical. Only an unethical person can say that, even on Twitter, Mr. Bhagat. 3 months ago
