Hi India Cable,
Why keep telling us what the US thinks on this or that?
What of the rest of the world? Don't it count? To India Cable, India has
a Muslim problem.
Are you sure it has no US or Euro problem too?
The US fussed over Modi for 2 reasons: they want to sell weapons to
India and make money for itself (as usual) & trouble for the others.
The other reason is the US fear of China's growing clout. Whereas India
keeps buying weapons & other devices, China makes them & lots of other
things too.
The problem is that India (and Guju MODI in particular) have not much
real standing before the world, certainly no intellectual standing. They
are not inventive or innovative. Just busy with their gods and cows, and
love bullying Muslims and weaker peoples.
Hindus are cowards at heart; they can't deal with criticism, and worship
Whites generally, especially the Anglos (English speakers).
The British having ruled them them for centuries know the Hindus well,
very well.
So, India Cable, do present a more balanced viewpoint.

Snapshot of the day
June 29, 2023

After PM Modi popped the question in Bhopal, two of the 15 parties which
attended the Opposition meet in Patna have said yes to a universal civil
code
<https://substack.com/redirect/d2a0972a-e450-4612-8dcb-cfcbb58ac386?j=eyJ1IjoiMmhxODkifQ.bTtFwarqXIkIDhqo63tgCVyY9gR3bbISF3256VSUlXU>
, but not without reservations ― the Shiv Sena (Uddhav) and the Aam
Aadmi Party. AAP says it is a constitutional requirement but since the
move would involve all faiths, more discussion is necessary. Sanjay Raut
said the Sena had always supported the UCC, but “Prime Minister Narendra
Modi’s latest campaign is a political stunt aimed at the next general
elections and not a sincere exercise to bring the UCC. In view of his
remarks, we will have to deliberate on the issue.”
Rahul Gandhi’s convoy in Manipur, en route from Imphal to Churachandpur,
was stopped by police at Bishnupur
<https://substack.com/redirect/eb9af5b5-497a-4c46-a291-6e2a1d92dd14?j=eyJ1IjoiMmhxODkifQ.bTtFwarqXIkIDhqo63tgCVyY9gR3bbISF3256VSUlXU>
due to ‘security concerns’ over a possible ‘grenade attack’. “I do not
know why the police are not allowing us. Rahul Gandhi's visit is to meet
the affected people only. We travelled around 20-25 km but there was no
road blockage anywhere… I do not know who has instructed the local
police,” Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal told ANI. Gandhi was
travelling to meet people displaced by the ethnic strife. He will now go
to Churachandpur by helicopter.
The government’s action has attracted the attention of memesters:

‘I won’t go [to Manipur] and I won’t allow anyone else to go either’.
Doing the rounds on social media, this play on Modi’s silence on Manipur
and his anti-corruption slogan ‘Na khaooonga, na khane doonga’ (tr: I
won’t eat (a metaphor for corruption) and won’t allow anyone else to eat
either)
Hearing a PIL filed by NGOs Lok Adhikar Sangh and Minority Coordination
Committee seeking action against police personnel who allegedly flogged
Muslim men in Junagadh

town following stone-pelting, the Gujarat High Court has issued notice
to the state government. The incident followed a protest on the night of
June 16 after the municipality served a demolition notice on the
Majewadi Gate Dargah
<https://substack.com/redirect/55ce7f2a-619c-4db6-b005-23edfbde5c3f?j=eyJ1IjoiMmhxODkifQ.bTtFwarqXIkIDhqo63tgCVyY9gR3bbISF3256VSUlXU>
if it could not produce ownership papers ― which many old community
properties do not have. Muslim men from the area were lined up before
their shrine and flogged, and their homes were ransacked by the police.
The Home Department, the police superintendent, director general and
inspector general have been made respondents to the PIL.
In Maharashtra, man-animal conflict has triggered man-man conflict

. Hours after a villager was killed by a tiger in Bhandara district, a
team of forest officials sent to capture it was attacked by angry
villagers. An assistant conservator of forests and two forest guards
were injured and are being treated in a Nagpur hospital.
The Bombay High Court has told the Reserve Bank of India to consider the
suggestions of an expert committee appointed by the Delhi High Court to
make banknotes and coins visually-challenged friendly. Coins had
distinctive shapes decades ago
<https://substack.com/redirect/458da447-88cb-4a03-aeb6-98f1347bdc0a?j=eyJ1IjoiMmhxODkifQ.bTtFwarqXIkIDhqo63tgCVyY9gR3bbISF3256VSUlXU>
, perhaps as an aid to the illiterate, but not any more. The size and
width of currency notes across denominations is also almost identical.
Atiqur Rahman, the scholar and activist arrested along with Siddique
Kappan, who was travelling to Hathras to report on the rape and murder
of a Dalit woman, is finally out on bail after having spent almost three
years in jail, pending trial. The Allahabad High Court noted while
granting him bail in a money laundering case that the only allegation
against him was that Rs 5,000 was deposited in his account by someone
who wasn’t even accused in the case. Rahman recounts fearing for his
life during his 32 months in jail. He says he was “punished for being a
Muslim”

The White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) has condemned the
online harassment

of Wall Street Journal reporter Sabrina Siddiqui, who was one of two
journalists called to ask Modi a question in his first unscripted
encounter with the press since 2015. WHCA president Tamara Keith noted
that “in a democracy, journalists shouldn’t be targeted simply for doing
their jobs.” The day before, the White House had denounced
