@nytimes Show respect? This sounds pretty North Korean. Trump should not over-fraternize with Kim Jong-un in the national interest of the US. Trump seems to be learning at the feet of Putin and the Supreme Leader of North Korea. Nothing good can come of it. 1 month ago

@_Mauna_ @debiacharya1969 @vhsindia @Swamy39 @SRU_STI @RakeshSinha01 I am perfectly at ease with the term 'liberal'. I am not deleting any tweets. And the discussion stands terminated forthwith. I did that twice earlier. 1 month ago

@debiacharya1969 @_Mauna_ @vhsindia @Swamy39 @SRU_STI @RakeshSinha01 You will not tell me how to take someone's name. He is plain Savarkar. End of the story. I am free to call him by his name. I don't consider him 'veer' at all. So, it's time to end this discussion. I have sent my last tweet to you. 1 month ago

@_Mauna_ @debiacharya1969 @vhsindia @Swamy39 @SRU_STI @RakeshSinha01 So, the Congress was fighting the British without considering them enemies? Hmm. Okay. We are done here. Good Night. 🙂 1 month ago

@_Mauna_ @debiacharya1969 @vhsindia @Swamy39 @SRU_STI @RakeshSinha01 It is indeed a bad word when it is used to divide, which is what it is being used for now. Back then it was used to unite. 'Indian' is also a community. Use it to include and it's good word, use it to divide, it's bad. I am sure you understand. 🙂 1 month ago

@debiacharya1969 @vhsindia @Swamy39 @SRU_STI @RakeshSinha01 Sorry. I am not into attempting to challenge history and refashion the truth to suit one's beliefs, or offer a person based or class based explanation for why history is what it is. Recorded history is the truth until credibly challenged. You can believe what you like. 1 month ago

@Kalbhoja I did not use the expression 'British' in terms of fighting. The expression "for his people". There was no 'India' back then. Also, this 'inviting' business has been our problem for sure, and many people committed that mistake. We were divided back then. Try preventing that now. 1 month ago

@_Mauna_ @debiacharya1969 @vhsindia @Swamy39 @SRU_STI @RakeshSinha01 I have called the Sangh what I thought best described them. I am not putting labels on bottles. Sorry. 1 month ago

@_Mauna_ @debiacharya1969 @vhsindia @Swamy39 @SRU_STI @RakeshSinha01 No, what I call 'Indian' is everybody who is a citizen of this country. What you call 'Indian' might be different. And perhaps that where we irreconcilably differ. 🙂 1 month ago

@_Mauna_ @debiacharya1969 @vhsindia @Swamy39 @SRU_STI @RakeshSinha01 Maybe because they were not sufficiently 'dangerous'. Savarkar? You are welcome to your beliefs, my friend. 🙂 1 month ago

@_Mauna_ @debiacharya1969 @vhsindia @Swamy39 @SRU_STI @RakeshSinha01 Freedom struggles are by the people and for the people. They are not communal in nature. So, the question of it's being 'Hindu' does not arise. But I guess with a handle like 'Spirit of Hindutva' you would want to argue in that 'spirit'. 🙂 1 month ago

@3M0nks @debiacharya1969 @vhsindia @Swamy39 @INCIndia I did not talk about partition at all. So, the question of blaming someone or the other for it does not arise. You are perhaps trying to talk about something you are more comfortable talking about. I don't get into those kind of 'debates'. So, this is my last response to you. 🙂 1 month ago

@debiacharya1969 @vhsindia @Swamy39 @SRU_STI @RakeshSinha01 Is it really news? Did you never wonder why nobody mentions any RSS functionary as having been part of the freedom struggle, my friend? 1 month ago

@debiacharya1969 @vhsindia @Swamy39 But, like I said, let the history be where it belongs, which is in the past. Look forward, shall we? 1 month ago

@debiacharya1969 @vhsindia @Swamy39 You are under the mistaken assumption that I support Congress somehow. I don't. So, let's assume they were 'servants', but they were also the ones fighting for our freedom. The RSS were servants and refused to take part in the freedom struggle. 1 month ago

@debiacharya1969 @vhsindia @Swamy39 Servants don't sit as equals with the masters. Also, the pictures you showing are part of the take over from the British. Furthermore, Congress is not in power at the moment. We'll question them when they are in power. Let's deal with our government for now. 1 month ago

@vhsindia @Swamy39 But then, the likes of you prefer to look at the perceived glory of the past rather than deal with the real problems of the present day. 1 month ago

@vhsindia @Swamy39 Why am I reminded of the RSS, the servants of the British? Tipu Sultan fought for his people at least, which the RSS refused to do during the freedom struggle. So, let's not discuss history and focus on the future. 1 month ago

@PritishNandy @imVkohli So, I respect Virat's right to free speech and condemn what he said in the same breath, just as you do, but I do not recognize his right to say whatever he wants. Sportsmanship, I demand, both on and off the field. This ill mannered person must get his act right. 1 month ago

@PritishNandy @imVkohli He has the right to free speech just as those who condemn him have the right. Right to Freedom of Speech does not include the right to be not criticized for what you say. 1 month ago

@PritishNandy @imVkohli No, he cannot respond "in anyway he wants", which is exactly the point here. We expect dignified speech if he opens him mouth in public or on the field. If he wants people to judge him by his batting, he should speak only through the bat, like Tendulkar did. 1 month ago

@Swamy39 And unlike Virat, who asked the fellow to leave the country, we are not asking him to step down as the captain of the Indian cricket team although we should. If it's a 'national team', we don't want a man like Virat leading it. 1 month ago

@Swamy39 What you seem to be trying to do is what your kind try to do all the time, which is to digress and muddy the waters. Media is slamming the erring. The person disliking Virat's game is within his rights to dislike him and like anybody else, but Virat can't say what he did. 1 month ago

@Swamy39 The people slamming Virat are also exercising their freedom of speech. So, the 'right to free speech' part is not under question. What is being criticized is the way that freedom was exercised by this non-sportsman of a captain that we have the misfortune of having. 1 month ago

@Swamy39 Nobody can tell any Indian that he or she should leave the nation for anything, and the least for liking the sportsmen of a foreign nation. Also, Virat is the captain of the 'national cricket team' talking to a lover of the game, and his conduct was wholly unbecoming. 1 month ago

@Acosta If it's any consolation, you country is not alone in doing this. I am from India and 'anti-national' is thrown around here, too, mostly by people who don't have the first idea about what patriotism, culture, civilization, brotherhood and fraternity stand for. 1 month ago

@PritishNandy What's wrong with relating to any human beings anywhere in the world? Don't soldiers pay due respect to the bodies of the combating enemy soldiers? Hatred must be kept for things like irrationality, bigotry and such, and not for people, not even the irrational and the bigots. 1 month ago

@PressSec And you seriously want us to believe any of it? Such hopes. 1 month ago

@IExpressSports @VORdotcom I am not as tolerant of his on-field behaviour either because it does show the kind of person one is or one is not, and what Virat is not is a sportsman. He is just someone who has certain skills like anybody in a circus. 1 month ago

@imVkohli You are a far better salesman than a sportsman, Virat, which is amply clear from your recent reaction to a non-fan of your cricketing skills. Indians are not Indian citizens by virtue of enjoying your batting. You might want to have the Indian Constitution amended in that regard. 1 month ago

I reserve my respect for the likes of Kapil Dev, Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar. A run machine with no sense of sportsmanship is basically nothing because runs do not get 'made' anywhere except on the score board. Cricket is a sport, and one is free to like any sportsman. 1 month ago

I have always maintained - primarily in view of his abusive aggression on the field - that for all his skills, Virat Kohli is not a sportsman, and I have never had any respect for the current 'Indian Captain'. indianexpress.com/article/sports… 1 month ago

So, either make a referendum to all Hindus before you choose to speak on our behalf, or just shut up. Or express your individual opinions, which you have every right to put across. The likes of me respect that right because, unlike you and your kind, we respect our Constitution. 1 month ago

I am a Hindu and I don't feel least bit 'insulted' by the Supreme Court's decision to hear the matter as and when it chooses to. I feel insulted by your audacity to speak on my behalf. You can't pick and choose your Hindus. trib.al/Gh5WCpe?fbclid… 1 month 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. 6 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. 6 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. 6 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"?

@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. 6 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. 6 months ago

@SambittPatra But you can't understand this, can you?

@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'. 7 months ago
