So, TIME to meet the 'most influential personality of 2020'- Dadi of Shaheen Bagh?

 

The New York based TIME magazine revealed the list of 'Most Influential People of 2020' featuring Google CEO Sundar Pichai, US President Donald Trump, Democratic vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Professor Ravindra Gupta, Indian Cinema actor Ayushmann Khurrana and more. To its incertitude further, the list includes the 'Shaheen Bagh fame'- Bilkis.

 

What kind of anti-India stand is TIME taking by including the lady who was sitting on an 'unlawful' dharna in Delhi's Shaheen Bagh, among the five prominent Indians in the list? How could the 82-year-old grandmother who relentlessly protested against the Citizenship Amendment ACT (CAA) at Delhi be a leading Indian icon in the eyes of TIME?

 

 

Delhi's Shaheen Bagh had become an 'Adda' of protests against the CAA as hundreds of people, mostly women chose to brave Delhi's winter for over 100 days against illegal money and unwanted essentials. Bilkis is among those better known as the 'Dadis of Shaheen Bagh' who led the protests from the front for what she thinks was best for her future generation.

 

"We are old and we are not doing this for ourselves… This is for our children. Why else will we spend our days and nights during the coldest winter of our lives in the open? Bullets don't scare us", she was noted speaking to Indian Express back in the month of January.

 

The profile of Bilkis under 'ICON' in the TIME magazine list, written by 'journalist' and 'writer' Rana Ayyub, says she 'became the symbol of resistance in a nation where the voices of women and minorities were being systematically drowned out by the majoritarian politics of the Modi regime'. "With prayer beads in one hand and the national flag in the other, Bilkis became the voice of the marginalized in India, an 82-year-old who would sit at a protest site from 8 a.m. to midnight," it says.

 

It's difficult to ignore the fact that the note is written by Rana Ayyub, the one who has been in the web of controversies for following the left-liberal trend and misleading the discourse over. She has been called out multiple times for spreading divisive communal messages and also acting as apologists for the terrorists. She also has to her credit many incidents where she has left no stone unturned to give away any law and order and paint the Hindus as a whole to be responsible.

 

Moreover, the note is published in 'THE TIME' Magazine who earlier had featured PM Modi's photograph internationally with a controversial headline terming him as 'India's Divider in Chief'. Also today, even if it has featured Modi as the most powerful leader, it does not have kind words and says while 'almost all of India’s Prime Ministers have come from the nearly 80% of the population that is Hindu, only Modi has governed as if no one else

matters'.

 

 

What more does this reveal if not the anti-India stance? It won't be an over exaggeration if we say that the magazine specifically leases writers who either are hypocrite or are keen to spread fake, false notes against India. Do they get paid unsanctioned? Don't know. Do they corner Hindus as a whole to be responsible? You know!
