Ah, the lovely Arfa, a favorite of brother @fitpOsitive.



What brings you to that hilarious realization ?

Her calmness is the key. Jigra Hai is aurat main. And I admire that.

Her calmness is the key.

Yes, I have watched her reporting from near the Jamia Millia Islamia university, Delhi, and she was good.

And watch this vid of her from mid-2020 interviewing Kanhaiya Kumar of the Communist Party of India. A sensible interview. She was as you said calm. So was Kanhaiya.

Kanhniaya is another of my favourite. BTW, I also follow Mr Gaurav Arya and Mr Pushpendra K. They show me mirror many times(other times they lie).

Rubika is quarrelsome and arrogant. And of course right-wing / Hindutvadi hence your choice.

Kanhniaya is another of my favourite.

Fantastic !

My wish is for him to be the PM candidate for 2024 election.

LOL, that guy's a real firebrand. Good to know you watch his stuff, I catch some of his stuff occasionally... In the past I also followed Zakir Naik, Menk and a bunch of other Islamists from around the world.

Always good to know and often more important what the 'other side' is saying.It is a good habbit to follow those whose views you would ordinarily oppose, well done !

We have a small band of Gora Hindutvawadi intellectuals too who are worth following, David Frawley, Konrad Elst, Wendy Doniger, Michel Danino, François Gautier.. along with Indian Rajiv Malhotra.. Subbu Swamy I'm sure you're aware of.

From what party ?

 

[Leviza]

this is not the answer of my questions sir .
is this jehad ????????

No it’s when Americans needed something from you and occupy your country and you are on their side

I don’t see the same reaction when usa killed all of the wedding party and nothing being done about that

I don’t seethe same reaction when somany Afghans died in thisuseless war

but we are here to question islam and it’s fundamentals

every winning force in history did these things but why bring islam into it ?

 

[jamahir]

From what party ?

Swami? I know this guy and his daughter too. Rsn Singh is another my favourites.
The problem with these guys is, they don't have a courage to tell hindus the real reasons why hindus are shrinking. It has more to do with modern atheist education rather than Muslims. Correct education system, and sanatan dharam is safe for coming many centuries, again.
But we Muslims have our own Pushpendras like Zaid H or Tariq F. These guys are another height.

 

[Menace2Society]

Let me explain to you this psyche which originates from arabia and it shares the same energy as the hindu. Pakistan is trapped in between in this underworld. That star on your flag is your liberation, seek it.

 

[Baby Leone]

fight for power hungry people has nothing to do with religion or Pakistan no matter few idiots use both names.

never going to happen, probably a good thing, because he will never win the country like Modi Ji has lol.

it must hurt bro, but this is how it is going to be for a while now in our country
... you guys should try and see the positives in Modi too.

Its a weird one. Hinduism in general is so different to the Abrahamic ones. They have all these different pujas and gods, very regional.. in Himachal for eg, every peak or village will have it's own devi/dev (goddess/god).. the urban middle classes and above are also not 'religious' in the way the musalmans are. and much like secularism, atheism also has it's own Indian flavour here among people, pretty acceptable, much more so that in Pak I imagine..

anyway, I am ill equipped to talk about the religious stuff so I'll leave it to others..

there are also agenda driven people on all sides.

really don't see too much cause for alarm wrt India's politics so far, I think we're fine.

I don't know. KK is a good orator, people going to events to watch him. And he's good in debates and one-on-one interviews which Modi cannot do.

That's your bias. I might sit through one of his events and come away saying he did well as an orator but still vote for BJP because I thought his ideas were crap.

After ‘comedian’ is killed by Taliban, videos of his treatment spark outrage across Afghanistan

By Alex Horton and Ezzatullah Mehrdad

KABUL — Crammed into a back seat between two gunmen and asked about the circumstances of his abduction, Nazar Mohammad Khasha made perhaps one of the last jokes of his life.

Men came to drag the funnyman and police officer from his Kandahar home, he said, according to video circulating on social media. With his hands behind his back, he told the militants that his abductors had mustaches — symbolic of bravery in southern Afghanistan — on their backsides.

He was slapped twice in the face for the insult, sending him into a brief daze before a grinning fighter hands an AK-47 to another man through the window. “Don’t let him go,” a man said out of the frame.

Khasha was killed last week, but the newly released videos of him being struck have ignited wide condemnation across Afghanistan, drawing outrage at the brazen attack on this Kandahar police officer — often described as a comedian whose goofball charm was popular on social media.

It also struck artists and activists as a grim portent of a future Afghanistan at least partly controlled by a Taliban intolerant of art and humor.

It was “a slap on the face of all Afghan people and an insult to humanity and human dignity,” Afghan Second Vice President Sarwar Danish said in a Facebook post on Tuesday, in a violation of “justice, knowledge and art.”

The Taliban claimed responsibility for Khasha’s death, said Zabiullah Mujahid, a spokesman for the militant group. He said his death is under investigation because the group would typically try a prisoner in an Islamic court, rather than kill outright. The Taliban accused Khasha of committing violence against civilians.

Another Taliban spokesman, Suhail Shaheen, earlier denied the group was responsible for Khasha’s death.
Ross Wilson, head of the U.S. diplomatic mission in Afghanistan, condemned the killing on Twitter.

The circumstances of Khasha’s death remain murky, as do the grievances that may have sparked the abduction and killing.

Khasha was an obscure figure inside Kandahar before his death, and his relationship with the community as a policeman is unclear.
A former soldier of the Afghan army who served in Kandahar said Khasha was a commander of a local police unit. Police in Kandahar have been accused in the past of their own abuses and atrocities against civilians in their fight against Taliban militants, including retribution driven by tribal affiliation, extortion and other crimes.

Illustrations of Khasha have flooded Facebook and Twitter, galvanizing prominent writers and diplomats as the Taliban absorbs more territory across the country. In Kandahar, Khasha’s hometown, militants have besieged and now control some parts of the provincial capital, along with about half of the country’s district centers, U.S. defense officials have said.

Kaweh Kerami, a lecturer at the American University of Afghanistan, said the video has ignited discussion about the Taliban’s role in civil society if it topples the Afghan government. Khasha’s killing, he said, is a grim prospect for artists and those voicing dissent.

“When people see such a video and killing, bad memories of Taliban revive in minds of people,” Kerami said.

Artists condemned Khasha’s killing, calling it a deliberate assault on free expression. Kawa Jobran, a poet, said on Facebook that laughter and jokes do not have a place under Taliban rule.

Homeira Qaderi, an author and activist, also posted about Khasha on social media as the videos circulated.

“We will not forget your oppressed look,” she said on Twitter.

Haq Nawaz Khan in Peshawar, Pakistan, contributed to this report.

Jamahir's comment : I read in another article that the Taliban killed him because they think that making people laugh is against Islam. Really ? So making people and society miserable is in accordance with Islam, like the Taliban do ?

@Areesh @Bilal., your opinion ?

who cares?...
