Here's the truth about Indian democracy.

It's no democracy at all. It's an authoritarian state that preys on minorities, journalists & human rights defenders.

India is threat to its own people & the entire world.

I visited Monroeville, PA to warn that HSS (the US wing of India’s fascist RSS paramilitary) may approach them. Then HSS did just that and Mayor Dr. Nick Gresock immediately caved, promising HSS that “we support you.”

Why are mayors of small towns in the US making pledges to back Hindu fascist-aligned organizations like the Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh who openly call for the subjugation of Christian and Muslim minorities in India? What do you have to say for yourself, Dr. Nick Gresock?

🧵I was reminded of this incident yesterday and still shocked, this may have been the 1 time I’ve ever seen Bhavini Patel in a community like Homewood.

The Indian government hired violent militants affiliated with the Taliban & Islamic State to murder Sikh leaders in South Asia.

Why isn’t this story getting more attention?

Modi is no different than Putin.

The HSS (American wing of India's fascist RSS paramilitary) is getting into the good graces of some Greater Pittsburgh local governments, so I visited Monroeville, PA to flag the HSS for them — and share concern about local candidate for US Congress Bhavini Patel's relationship…

When local candidates for US Congress like Bhavini Patel are reportedly fundraising from top leaders of the HSS (the US wing of India's fascist RSS paramilitary), we should question where else the HSS might be gaining influence in Pittsburgh politics.

It’s the duty of every…

Love the guy's reaction in the background after minute two. A clearly concerned individual, as we all should be.

It was great to drop in on the podcast of legendary activist/writer Pieter Friedrich. Our extended discussion of Savera: United Against Supremacy's groundbreaking report on the VHPA (the Hindu fascist's apex organization in the US) and my recent piece in Truthout on the same starts ~ 20 mins in!
