This type of scaremongering is totally unacceptable in any civilized society; a prelude to a nonexistent civil war.
Biased reporting has reached such levels it is no longer enough for Narendra Modi to comfort the minority, he must now comfort the majority. Indians are being made to feel they are living in a totalitarian state where their Christian brothers hide under the table like Anne Frank. Suddenly 40 million Christians have removed themselves from the rest, so a Christian victim of crime is no longer an Indian victim of crime. Do we want every crime to be henceforth segregated into subsets, and the Christian subset be preferentially reported? Is that what we want? Forget reassuring Christians, Narendra Modi, reassure Hindus first. Reassure them with facts & figures to counter this abhorrent media blitz
There were an incredible 30,252 property-related hate crimes and 263,540 violent hate-crimes in 2012 in the USA. (bjs.gov/content/pub/pd…) With 30,252 property-related hate crimes, are we to believe that President Obama is not secular, not plural, not concerned for minorities? A handful cannot fight this bizarre media bhed-chaal. The government has to. But where is it? Ensconced in comfort, watching from distance. There’s no other way of saying this. It is not – as a tyre ad suggests – the streets that are filled with idiots but, rather, this govt. Day-in-day-out all this government does is to ask its hopelessly smug spokespersons to bleat out clichéd denials and weather-beaten polemic. What @PMOIndia needs to do. Right NOW. But it won’t. Because talk is cheap.
Save Our Souls, @PMOIndia. Fight the perception that Christians are under attack. Fight it with data. My column: (buff.ly/1BxEFgr)
Fantastic reporting of hard facts, not by the incompetent @PMOIndia but by @OpIndia_com. Kudos (opindia.com/2015/03/spate-…)
9 temples robbed, 2 sadhus killed, 1 sadhvi raped, in 1 month. Dear @timesofindia, here’s your headline for tomorrow:
Not a single op-ed on the nun story in newspapers, not a single column by an intellectual owning up to how sensational and biased they were. I shall leave it to the genius of Pawel Kuczynski to describe Indian Mainstream Journalism as it stands today.
Deliberately ignite passions and hoodwink the gullible for 3 weeks, then gently slip in the facts – that’s our media.
Award wapsi. FAILED
Intolerance. FAILED
Make NO mistake. The vipers are writhing in the sand again for something new.
Under Obama, violent hate-crimes INCREASED in 2012. 30 every hour. Of every day. Because he mainstreamed hate?
1.1 million hate-crimes during the first term of the Obama Presidency. Each one as condemnable as any hate-crime under any Presidency.
Under Manmohan Singh, violence against Dalits INCREASED. Because he mainstreamed violence against Dalits?
Two crimes that ALLEGEDLY happened this month. Because that is what both reports called them
Data, Noise, Signal, Agenda, Normalisation, Misinformation, Media, and Lynchistan. Important. Do read. Thanks.
10 out of 15 instances (66%) of horrific mob violence against the Dalits were NOT reported by the English Media.
BARBARISM on display. Hindu youth in Azamgarh given electric shocks, his finger chopped off. This incident happened 5 days ago. ONLY Hindi media has covered it. SHAME on English media.
ZERO coverage in the English media; ZERO outrage; ZERO op-eds; ZERO hashtag-induced marches. ZERO credibility. English editions (Express; News18) IGNORE inconvenient reports from their sister-editions.
I repeat. MORE THAN EVER.

SHOCKING how the anti-vaccination gangs in Kerala are now trying to take lives of life-savers.
DMO: “They mislead people saying vaccination is administered to dwindle the Muslim population & the protein used for the vaccination is prepared from pig meat.”
TOTAL silence on more than 50 documented mob attacks, lynchings and attempted-lynchings by Muslims on Dalits, Hindus, even fellow Muslims – just this year. And now they wake up because this one crime suits their ideological agenda.
BEWARE of such frauds. They run into hundreds.
Award wapsi. FAILED
Growing Intolerance. FAILED
Lynchistan. FAILED
Emergency. FAILED
Selective outrage. FAILED
With the bigoted Editor sacked & his pet Hate Tracker abandoned, had stopped updating this depressing thread on lynchings & mob violence ignored by the media, thinking the bigots had been shamed enough.
It was a mistake. Media is teeming with such fiends. It’s an assembly-line.
Muslim mob drags a man belonging to the minority community (Jain) & his mother, and even the bride to be, from their car and tries to lynch them; video goes viral. IGNORED by English media. NO outrage.
Police stood and watched, registered a case later. m.hindi.eenaduindia.com/CrimeNews/Crim…

Dalit family almost lynched by a Muslim mob for not converting to Islam, ABUSED with casteist remarks, given DEATH threats, beaten MERCILESSLY with iron rods. IGNORED by English media and Social Justice Warriors.
Dear @jigneshmevani80. Meet Shrikishan. He is a Dalit. He along with his family was beaten with iron rods & almost lynched by Muslims for not converting to Islam. Shrikishan received serious injuries. Would you go and meet him? He needs your support.
UPDATE. Dalits who were BRUTALLY assaulted by a Muslim mob for not converting now demand protection, say the police are under pressure to not act.
@jigneshmevani80 maybe unconcerned of their plight but Valmiki Foundation has met the injured Dalits. jagran.com/haryana/mewat-…
This is the latest of MORE THAN TWO DOZEN lynchings, attempted lynchings, and assaults by Muslims on Dalits this past year.
The news has STILL NOT BEEN reported by the English media.
It is CRYSTAL clear: Dalits who are assaulted by Muslims DO NOT MATTER.
Muslims hurled casteist slurs at us, beat us with lathis, says wife of the Dalit victim Shrikishan. FIR registered under the SC/ST act. And yet, TOTAL SILENCE by the English media.
The missing Mewat. BRILLIANT piece by @anandvardhan26 on Media Selectivity
SHOCKING selectivity. Letter doesn’t mention even one instance (out of 50 last year) where Hindus (Dalits, non-Dalits) & Muslims were lynched, almost-lynched, assaulted, by Muslim mobs.
And one of the signatories is Mr Ribeiro, the man who fanned the Fake Church Attack narrative.
When journalists select their stories based on the identity of the perpetrator and not the victim, they CEASE to be journalists.
The Dalit Atrocity story and the SHAMEFUL CONTINUING SILENCE of the English media – a ground report by @swati_gs & @haryannvi

1500 Dalits living under fear as Gautam Nagar, a town in Amroha district (42% Muslim popln) is renamed Islam Nagar on shop signboards by some Muslims. Dalits file a police complaint.
“We have no option but to leave or convert,” says one. Area tense.
Educated Muslims subject a fellow-Muslim to HORRENDOUS abuse, in the form of VILE death & rape threats, for merely suggesting compassion & sensitivity towards inter-faith marriages.
No FIR filed; FB post deleted quietly by the victim; MSM TOTALLY silent.
You keep on demonising only one community, one religion, one ideology; you keep on being selective; and sooner or later it comes back to bite you.
THIS, is what the great Ambedkar wrote on Selectivity. Don’t worship him. FOLLOW him.
Tribal man accused of stealing rice BRUTALLY assaulted and LYNCHED to death by a mob in Kerala. Assaulter Ubaid who took the selfie arrested along with shopkeeper Hussain and seven others. NO primetime coverage. NO outrage. Activists SILENT.

Dear @jigneshmevani80, this is the latest of at least six documented (SC/ST act/FIRs) brutal attacks by Muslim mobs on Dalits, in just this past month. Request you to kindly break your silence and visit the Dalit victims to express solidarity. Thank you.
No cries of creeping intolerance, award wapsi, tribals under threat; just a tiny column on the Kerala lynching – bottom right, page 14.
These mediocre, feeding-on-crumbs, sociopathic, gangrenous, selactivist lot think they can fool all of the people all of the time.
Muslim mob pelts stones, attacks a Gujjar marriage procession with sharp-edged weapons. Gujjars protest, demand action, promise agitation. IGNORED by English media. NO outrage. Activists SILENT.
Amnesty ignores dozens of crimes where perpetrators were non-Hindu; ignores many Muslim victims like Farook & Ayub where perpetrators were Muslim.
These FRAUDS are like Raktbeej whose every drop of blood spawns more of the same. No Kalratri on the horizon. (pic, @IndianInterest)
Alleging some Muslims got peppered by gulal, a 45-strong Muslim mob assaults Hindu religious procession with sticks, injuring 10 including 3 women. Attack pre-planned, say victims. IGNORED by English Media. IGNORED by the Amnesty Tracker. Activists SILENT.
Major clash erupts between Dalits and Muslims as the latter object to a Dalit funeral procession passing through their street. Houses stoned, cars burnt. 30 injured. Little English media coverage. No primetime debate. No outrage.
Here is a member of the minority community being subjected to open threats and fatwas. No outrage, op-eds, TV debates.

HORRENDOUS criminality and bigotry on display. Relatives of a woman belonging to an affluent Christian family torture and then drown her husband Kevin, a Dalit Christian. While Dalit organisations call for a strike, silence from @jigneshmevani80 DEAFENING.
Terrible news coming out of Azamgarh. Muslim mob attacks a Dalit basti with sticks, thrashes Dalits mercilessly wherever it found them; ten injured seriously. ZERO primetime coverage. Activists SILENT. [Warning: graphic content in link]
SHOCKING intolerance. Under pressure from Muslim goons, Police registers FIR against 3 Muslim students for “derogatory modifications” of Islamic slogans. Students now in hiding, says their friend @HarbirSingh_.
NO primetime outrage. Freedom-loving, Ganga-Jumna activists SILENT.
CRAZY. @timesofindia has now not only CHANGED the headline, they have totally redone the report – REMOVED Islamic slogans & a quote saying Communists were destroying AMU’s image.
Well, the Internet doesn’t forget.

A Dalit was lynched to death by a vicious Muslim mob 4 days ago. TOI reports on it today. This is its front page. You need to zoom in to find the snippet. Rest of the snippet is on page 11
YOU are an even bigger FRAUD than the media if you believe it doesn’t outrage selectively.

This man, who announced a reward of 51 crores to anyone who BEHEADED Hebdo journalists, lost from Meerut. By just 4,500 votes. 5,81,455 people (47.8%) voted for him. But neither he nor those who voted for him are bigots. They are the heroes for our media.
This 250 tweet thread, cataloguing documented attacks, lynchings, attempted lynchings by Muslims on Hindus (Dalits, non-Dalits) largely ignored by the media, ENDS today.
The strongest rebuttal to selectivity and scaremongering was given on May 23.
No more rebuttals necessary.
