Yeh Jo India Hai Na

why are we allowing haters to gradually occupy centre stage? Why are we allowing people to think that hate is beginning to define us as a nation? Unfortunately, the evidence is piling up.

11 men convicted for the gang rape of Bilkis Bano, and for killing 7 of her family members, including her 3-year-old daughter, were freed after serving 14 years of their life sentences.

'We'll Get You Bail' – Message to Those Who Commit Hate Crimes Against Muslims

All of Punjab’s heavyweights lost – CM Channi, Punjab Cong Chief Navjot Sidhu, Capt Amarinder Singh, Parkash and Sukhbir Badal. Why? Voter anger snatched power from Punjab’s traditional ruling elite, and trusted a new option, AAP.

A Lesson in AAP’s Punjab Win – Don't Take Gaddi For Granted

Yeh Jo India Hai Na… here, we may no longer be able to say Happy Diwali to each other! Why? Because Tejasvi Surya says so. ‘Happy’ is an English word, meaning Christian, meaning non-Hindu, and so it can’t be used before the shudh (pure) Hindu festival of Diwali. 

Because if we do so, it will lead to a big, loaded, high-funda word – the ‘ABRAHAMIFICATION’ of Indian culture! 

But the fact is that MILLIONS of us Indians are going send BILLIONS of Happy Diwali greetings, whether Tejasvi likes it or not.

What is ‘abrahamification’? In fact, I’m surprised Tejasvi hasn’t coined the word ‘IBRAHIM-IFICATION’, because that would suit his brand of hate and bigotry even better.

Simply put, according to him, it is the ‘Christianising’ or ‘Muslimification’ of Hindu culture. A culture which, according to him, owes nothing, nor should ever borrow anything from any other culture other than 100 percent pure Hindu culture.

Tejasvi Surya, Diwali is Happy, a Jashn, a Riwaaj, Whether You Like it or Not

Yeh Jo India Hai Na, here whoever has seen this video, has been shocked, angered and saddened. 

After watching this video of Afsaar Ahmed being assaulted by a mob in Kanpur even as his child pleaded for them to stop, a viewer named Aryan wrote – “Yeh kya kar rahe ho bhai?! Main bhi Hindu hoon yaar, Sri Ram Bhagwan ka naam aise lene ko mat kaho please! Mujhe dekhkar rona aa raha hai!” (What are you doing? I am a Hindu, too. Don't force someone to chant Sri Ram Bhagwan's name like this. This has brought me to tears.)

Mohammed Nadeem had this to say – “Kya Bajrang Dal kanoon se bada ho gaya hai?” (Is the Bajrang Dal bigger than the law?)
Also listen to what Neelushwar had to say – “Police ke saamne, uss masoom ko maar rahe aadmi ke liye police andhi ho gayi thi. Yeh Bharat aur Bharat-vaasiyon ka patan ho raha hai!” This police inaction is a sign of decay in India and among us Indians.

Hindutva Vigilante Groups Call the Shots: UP Police Just a Spectator

Speaking at the 100th anniversary of the Aligarh Muslim University, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said – “Those educated at AMU represent the diverse culture of India,” that AMU is a “mini-India.”

But other Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders don’t think so...

In 2019, BJP Lok Sabha MP from Aligarh Satish Gautam attacked AMU for having Jinnah’s portrait on its campus, ignoring the context that Jinnah was one of AMU’s founders.

In 2015, Sunil Singh, the UP head of the Hindu Yuva Vahini, the Hindutva group founded by Yogi Adityanath, called AMU a "nursery of terror".

Members of the Hindu Yuva Vahini even vandalised the AMU campus in 2018.

In 2016, former Aligarh mayor and BJP leader Shakuntala Bharti made false allegations of beef being served in an AMU hostel.

In February 2019, 14 AMU students were booked for sedition after a complaint filed by local BJP leader Mukesh Lodi, charges the police later quietly dropped.

In 2018, both Yogi Adityanath and Central Social Justice Minister Thawar Chand Gehlot wrongly claimed that AMU was not a minority institution.

BJP MP RS Katheria, Chairman of the National Commission for Scheduled Castes, while demanding clarity on the issue from AMU, said – “This is not Pakistan, AMU must follow rules” – betraying his bigotry.

Yeh Jo India Hai Na… it is confused. Kya hai India ki soch ki asli tasveer? Tune in to the podcast!

Modi Praises AMU, BJP Leaders Malign It: Time to Shut Down Hate?

Yeh Jo India Hai Na… yahan agar Rashid aur Pinki ne ki hai shaadi... to UP Police kyon bani hai kabab mein haddi?!

Yes, the harassment has started. Rashid & Pinki got married in July, went to get their marriage registered in Moradabad last week, like lakhs of Indian couples. But instead of it being the happiest day of their lives, it ended with Rashid and his brother in a UP Police jail and Pinki in a women’s shelter home.

Why? Because of UP’s bigoted, divisive, unconstitutional anti-Love Jihad ordinance! It took Pinki two days to convince the district magistrate that she was an adult, who had chosen to marry Rashid. Only then could she return to her in-laws. Rashid was stuck in jail for another X number of days!

Yeh Jo India Hai Na… Yahan Kangana ko… Sarkar ko… Diljit Dosanjh ki baat kyon nahi samajh aa rahi hai?

It's not just because he’s speaking theth, meaning shudh Punjabi. It's also because the habit of listening, of trying to understand what someone is saying, especially when they’re disagreeing with you – that simple common art of LISTENING – has been forgotten!

Yeh Jo India Hai Na… Yahan sabko Bigg Boss bahut pasand hai… We love Bigg Boss! So, why don’t we play Bigg Boss today, with the Uttar Pradesh Police!

If a 19-year-old girl is brutalised in a field and brought to your police station –

you should delay registering an FIR,

even suggest the girl is ‘doing drama’

Even though she is found stripped of her clothes –

you should not suspect sexual assault

you should ensure that her vaginal swabs are NOT taken within the first few hours, so that crucial evidence to determine a rape is simply NOT there

instead, you should collect samples only 11 days after the incident by which time, all evidence of rape would no longer be there

UP Police aur Hathras ki District Administration se Bigg Boss kehte hain –

try to persuade the family to cremate their daughter in the middle of the night

and if they do not listen to your gyaan about reeti-riwaaz, burn the body in the dead of night anyway

So where does that leave us? Yeh Jo India Hai Na... It desperately needs –

police reform

police accountability

to separate law & order from the police function of investigation

The ABCD of news in India has changed. A now stands for Arrogance of certain TV news anchors, not Accountability. B is for Banana Republic, C should mean Coronavirus but is not discussed.
