Saif Ali Khan wants to reimagine Ramayana to show Ravana as a good person & justify Sita’s abduction. This is most disturbing & must be opposed.
Why at a time when states are struggling to deal with increasing kidnappings?

Maybe Saif’s anti-Hindu family history can explain

 Saif’s ancestors came to India from Afghanistan & rose to power under Mughals. They assisted British against Hindu kings in establishing empire. Saif’s family has ISI connections. One of them was top choice for ISI chief post. Saif is proud of it all, and named his son Taimur
Said’s ancestry in India begins with arrival of Salamat Khan in 1480 AD. Babur, Timurid ruler of Kabulistan, defeated Ibrahim Lodhi in first Battle of Panipat and established Mughal rule. Salamat’s great-grandson Muhammed Pir rose to power in Akbar’s court
Source: The Hindu
Salamat’s descendent Alaf Khan helped Mughals in battle against Hindu Maharaja of Jaipur and was rewarded with Kalam mahal (which today is known as Pataudi House neat Delhi Gate).
From same family, Faiz Talab Khan helped British against Marathas.
As reward, Faiz Talab Khan became first Nawab of newly established princely state of Pataudi in 1804. Saif was (symbolically) anointed 10th Nawab after death of his father Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi in 2011

Saif’s ISI connect:
Mansur Khan's cousin Major General Isfandiyar Ali was one of the contenders to the post of ISI chief in 2012.
Isfandiyar’s father Mohammed Ali, who was younger brother of Mansur’s father Iftikhar Ali, was also a general in Pak army
https://t.co/xHMJtZGx4h
Mansoor’s uncle Shahryar Khan, who was son of elder sister of Mansur’s mother, has served as former foreign secretary of Pakistan and chief of the Pakistan Cricket Board

Now, moving on Saif’s legal battle for Bhopal royal property on which Govt of India also has a claim:
In 1939, Saif’s grandfather Iftikhar Khan married Sajida Begum, daughter of the last Nawab of Bhopal, Hamiduallah Khan. Hamidullah ruled over an area with 80% Hindu population & was opposed to joining India in 1947 but Sardar Patel foiled his plan
https://t.co/FN277bRz3U
Habiduallah wrote to Jinnah saying he wants to merge Bhopal with Pakistan as he has been a “staunch supporter of Pakistan and a loyal and devoted friends of the Muslim cause in India”

He also jailed Shankar Dayal Sharma for agitating against Nawab’s plan
Sajida’s sister Abida Sultan was to inherit royal property but moved to Pakistan. While govt of India laid claim on it in 2015, Saif’s mother Begum Ayesha Sultana Khan (Sharmila Tagore) is pursuing a court case to establish her Mansur Ali Khan as heir
https://t.co/ki1qNvzA2a
Mansur’s sisters Saleha Sultan and Sabiha Sultan are engaged in a legal battle with Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Khan and Begum Ayesha (Sharmila) for division of 6000 acre of property
https://t.co/ki1qNvzA2a
In a 2011 interview, Begum Ayesha (Sharmila) lamented that Indians don’t respect royal titles whereas titled people are respected in England.

She said it’s because people are “uninformed”
https://t.co/CMOlYaGACU
In same interview, Sharmila said that Saif is very much into family history and all her three children (Soha and Saba) are conscious of their ancestry but in a nice way."

In a recent interview, Saif said that there was no concept of India until British gave one.
Saif also suggested that his family members who shifted to Pakistan did so as they thought India won’t be a secular country anymore (as if they were moving to a secular state!) Saif’s own grand-uncle Sher Ali who joined Pakistan Army was an advocate of Islamisation through Army
Saif’s has inherited Nawabi shauqs from father. Like Mansur Khan, Saif too has been involved in hunting & killing of blackbuck. Mansur did so at a hunting expedition in Haryana’s Jhajjar in 2005. Police recovered carcasses of a female blackbuck
https://t.co/18zX9SfrNa
Like Mansur, Saif too married Hindu woman and has done so, twice. Amrita Singh was a Sikh who converted to Islam just married marriage. Their children are Sara and Ibrahim. Saif’s second wife is Kareena Kapoor. Their child is named Taimur Ali Khan.
https://t.co/yzYzLu88pa
Taimur name sparked much outrage among Hindus as Timur was a most barbaric invader and killer of Hindus. While Saif was vague about the choice of name in an interview, Kareena revealed that Saif, in fact, is an admirer of Timur
https://t.co/ZwMqUUnNv5
In same interview, Saif said that he cannot “realistically name his son Ram”

In the land of Ram, an Indian citizen who otherwise insists he should not be judged by family history and Pakistan connections, can’t “realistically” name his son Ram

Why?
https://t.co/ZwMqUUnNv5
Saif has a history of playing a womaniser on screen. Off-screen, he makes fun of sacred Hindu slogans like Bam Bhole
https://t.co/X12SWZJfk5
And now, in his own words, he wants to show Ravana in good light and justify abduction of women.
While we will make every effort to expose the agenda, any Saif lovers would do well by following Saif himself: He doesn’t watch Bollywood films and so shouldn’t you!

Right, so since I got a bottle of Australian white going through my system, its just as well I capitalise on that & do a drunk movie review. Its "The Chronicles Of Riddick", a film I have a love-hate-relationship with. Excellent visuals & one liners, but atrocious plot & casting.


Mute this thread if movie reviews, drunk or sober, bother you. Thanks, with a cherry on top.

This btw is the Directors cut of the film. So there's like 15 minutes of extra footage explaining to us all the bad choices David Twohy made in producing a sequel to PITCH BLACK, that clearly looked at Lord Of The Rings and then just ran through three lines of cocaine.

For what its worth, thats not a rip on Twohy himself, but realistically speaking CHRONICLES vs PITCH BLACK makes Cameron's ALIENS look like the petting zoo-sequel to "Hey, why not get a guinea pig for Christmas" pet choices of Ridley Scott's ALIEN.

Just to substantiate this claim, this is the first I dunno 15 seconds of the film. Wth is going on right?! Again, stupifiying visuals but context people!

Is anyone else having a cocktail and watching the director's cut of ALIENS, the best action movie ever made, tonight?

BUILDING BETTER WORLDS

The Shining came out in 1980, so given that the audience already knows what's going to happen to all these poor colonists, the kid riding around on the Weyland-Yutani bigwheel tricycle has gotta be a reference to little Danny Torrance.

Fun fact: The original ALIEN broke me of my childhood ambitions to be a starship captain, because when 2/3ds of the crew is dead and someone needs to hunt a malevolent acid-blooded alien through the spaceship with a flamethrower? That's you, motherfucker.

SPACE MARINES!!!!!

Okay, finally watching #HappiestSeason... I shall tweet my thoughts with no spoilers. 🥰

Fun little reindeer kink scene. 😂

I literally thought: "this has gotta be Ohio or PA", and looked it up and sure enough...

Kristen Stewart pet-sitting for others during the holidays on an annual basis hits waaaay too close to home.

The "marriage as an institution" dialogue is a bit meh. Not the point itself, but I feel like I've listened to this exchange a million times.

12 Azhwars (Alwars)

The 12 Azhwars, (the Main composers of Naalayira Divya Prabandam - 4000 poetic Rhymes) are known as Nityasuris or Divyasuris; those who reside permanently with the Lord in His Heavenly abode.


They have incarnated as Azhwars -Vasihnavite Saints - to propagate Bhakthi Marga, devotion to Lord Vishnu.

Alwars have dedicated their lives towards Lord Sriman Narayana and they led their life by praising Him.

These Alwars were born in various parts of our country but they were all united in a common subject, ie dedicating their lives and praising the Lord.

Poigai Alwar, Bhoodath Alwar and Pei Alwar are collectively called as "Mudhal Alwars" were found in the same period of time.

Thirumazhisai Alwar, who thought the Perumal as his friend and has sung Mangalasasanam on Perumal.

Thirumangai Alwar was a great king and later, changed his life to work for the Perumal and for his bhaktaas.

Thondaradippodi Alwar, who is also named as "Vipra Narayanar" led his life as the servant to the God and did service to Him by offering beautiful Garlands.

1. Now that Stan Lee is being eulogized far and wide, it's important to remember how marginal Stan Lee and his collaborators (Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko) were in the 1950s and 1960s.

2. Marvel Comics (before that Atlas) was just a cog in the machine of a bottom pulp publisher run by Martin Goodman, the husband of one of Lee's cousins. It was the lowest of the low in the publishing world.

3. Now Mario Puzo (not yet the author of the Godfather) shared offices with Stan Lee in the 1950s and 1960s. Puzo wrote for garrish men's adventure magazines and, like Lee, dreamed of writing a novel & breaking out. But Puzo looked down on Lee.

4. Flo Steinberg, 1960s secretary at Marvel: "They were always making jokes about us. They'd come in and giggle. mario Puzo would look in and would see us all working on his way to the office and say, 'Work faster, little elves. Christmas is coming.'"

5. When JFK was killed, the whole office of Magazine Management was stunned and quiet. Except Lee. He continued working. "He was still working on the comic books," Puzo said. "Like that was the most important thing in the world."

Wracając do sedna dzisiejszego zamieszania z artykułem autosportu / motorsportu. Kubica mówi w nim, że podejmie swoją decyzję w ciągu kilku dni. Rozważa opcję z Williamsem lub posadę kierowcy symulatora w Ferrari. Więc za kilka dni dowiemy się co go czeka za rok. #F1PL

Autosport / motorsport zmienił nagłówek swoje tekstu, bo pierwotnie sugerował on że Kubica jest numerem jeden na liście Williamsa na tytuł mówiący tylko tym, że nadal jest na liście kandydatów. Zrobili to po interwencji zespołu. Same wypowiedzi Kubicy z wywiadu się nie zmieniły.

Trudno powiedzieć czy autor się pośpieszył i wyciągnął inne wnioski niż powinien, a może wie coś więcej, ale nie mógł tego otwarcie napisać. Słowa Kubicy brzmią jednak jednoznacznie: decyzję podejmie w ciągu kilku dni.
