The Republic monument in Taksim square, Istanbul – the epicentre of political protests – is now cordoned off by the POLICE. India Gate in Delhi is closed for business too. History is being rewritten in Turkey. Nothing new there. Those miserable Moghuls are being gradually purged from our history too; what are they doing in our Hindu Rashtra anyway? Kemal Ataturk is not the favourite anymore. Mahatma Gandhi, don’t worry, you are not alone. School curriculum has been altered to refelect the new history of the Turkish Republic. NCERT തഥൈവ! Jai Sreeram. Name of the country changed from Turkish Republic to Turkiye. India? Welcome to Bharath. Contempt in some quarters towards women not properly covered. Bharathi naree don’t get caught up in love jehads. Voices automatically lowered when Erdogan is mentioned. In Bharath, the M word may be freely used, but only in unctuous eulogies. Fearless Turkish journalists are rotting in jail. Bharathi journalists have been tamed, others can go to jail. Antinational bastards. Serves them right. Why did they commit unlawful acts like criticising the government? Didn’t they know about UA(P)A?
Where am I? Turkiye? Bharath? I feel so homesick!
