#ReadTheThread. An open letter to @rahulkanwal and @aroonpurie. Sirs, I saw the link of the @IndiaToday show shared by Rahul Kanwal on FB, where your senior employee and colleague, Rajdeep Sardesai tried to outshout, abuse and intimidate Tushar Damgude, a private citizen. I thought I would ask you a few questions about the appalling behaviour of your colleague.

I could of course ask all these questions to Rajdeep Sardesai myself, but the doyen of free speech that he is, he has blocked me on twitter.

#ReadTheThread It was morning. The phone alarm rang. The born-brahmin 'anti-caste' SJW feminist woke up. 'This damn brahminical racist I-phone', she screeched, 'it keeps ringing and it has a white cover'. She considered switching black to the black Dalit landline briefly. Yawning, she walked to the toilet with bleary eyes, head hurting from last night's excess of Desi tharra. She had stopped drinking wine and vodka coz they were 'racist brahminical' drinks while desi tharra was the only original mulnivasi drink, that's what the man selling it said

#ReadTheThread. Ten things every Hindu can do!
I keep getting asked, ‘what can we, ordinary Hindus do for the Dharma?’

I am no expert on Dharma, but here are ten easy steps we can all take at our individual levels to assert our identity as Hindus. #Hindu #Identity #HinduPride 1) Tell your kids or nephews or nieces, or kids you know stories from our history and religion. Buy them Indic books. Take them to see Hindu temple architecture, and when they ask you, pointing at a vandalised Murti, ‘what happened here’? Tell them the truth, with the names!

#ReadTheThread A Saraswat and a Baniya, I mean, Rajdeep and Shekhar, went out for dinner at a nice swanky restaurant called 'The Caste-A-Way'. The waiter brought the Menu card. Even before they opened it, Shekhar asked in his best constantly constipated Ravish imitation, 'Kaun Jaat Ho'?

'Kshatriya sir,' replied the waiter.

Confession of the last Indian Hindu - Read the whole series. First they came 4 Kashmiri Hindus. They killed, raped and forced Kashmiri Hindus to flee. As it was a Kashmir problem, I did not do anything
