1) Seeing a lot of attempts recently by NRIs in Canada & the usual Khan Market gang to drive an artificial wedge between Hindus & Sikhs in order to overtake the ongoing dialogue between farmers & government for their own malicious agenda.
A thread-
"Sakal jagat main Khalsa Panth gaje
Jage dharam Hindu sakal bhand bhaje"
"The Khalsa sect will roar around the world. Hinduism will awaken, its enemies will flee."
There was no us vs them. This "othering" is very recent and top-down
"... To ham hain sab sadar Arya Dharma rakshak pragatiyo hain"
"O Shiva, grant me this boon,....
that I may teach myself this greed alone,
to sing only of thy praises"
Omkār comes from the Sanskrit "aum."
How then are our core philosophies in any way mutually exclusive or contradictory?
What is being projected as "Punjabi culture" is Indic culture
Every year the Maharajah of Patiala donates a gold bracelet to the River Sarsa in accordance to Hindu traditions.
Nirmala Sikhs still participate in all Kumbh Mela and have their own Akhara in Haridwar.
Guru Gobind sent his army of Nihang Sikhs who fought along with Naga Sadhus to route the Mughal army coming for Shri Ram Janmabhumi!
This document n this incident was instrumental in winning the court case last year.
""Go and tell Aurangzeb that if he can convert Guru Tegh Bahadar to Islam, they will all convert. Otherwise he should leave them alone"".
The Mughal emperor failed.
He lived a dharmic. Died a dharmic.
Lalaata shunyam, smashaana tulyam.
The Gurus knew this.
We believe in this.
Such sacredness must remain eternal.
For in all ages and all times the Supreme Mother will be paid in blood of her enemies by her reborn sons.
Jai Bhavani Jai Shivaji!
Wahe Guru ka Khalsa Wahe Guru ki Fateh!

Here are some of them:
"Inki Aurate Take-Take ke Bhaw Bikti thi"
"Humne inki aurato ko bachaya"

I've seen many news articles cite that "the UK variant could be the dominant strain by March". This is emphasized by @CDCDirector.
While this will likely to be the case, this should not be an automatic cause for concern. Cases could still remain contained.
Here's how: 🧵
One of @CDCgov's own models has tracked the true decline in cases quite accurately thus far.
Their projection shows that the B.1.1.7 variant will become the dominant variant in March. But interestingly... there's no fourth wave. Cases simply level out:

Just because a variant becomes the dominant strain does not automatically mean we will see a repeat of Fall 2020.
Let's look at UK and South Africa, where cases have been falling for the past month, in unison with the US (albeit with tougher restrictions):
Furthermore, the claim that the "variant is doubling every 10 days" is false. It's the *proportion of the variant* that is doubling every 10 days.
If overall prevalence drops during the studied time period, the true doubling time of the variant is actually much longer 10 days.
Simple example:
Day 0: 10 variant / 100 cases -> 10% variant
Day 10: 15 variant / 75 cases -> 20% variant
Day 20: 20 variant / 50 cases -> 40% variant
1) Proportion of variant doubles every 10 days
2) Doubling time of variant is actually 20 days
3) Total cases still drop by 50%
