Hello and Welcome to The Show!
Thank you so much for the good wishes after my COVID news!
There has been a huge expose in our own Harvard Professor Nidhi Razdan’s story, it has become a huge international scandal covered by NYT
and a story published in NDTV as well
Now you might be thinking, does NYT not have anything better to do?
But why are you asking this now? You should have asked when "COVID expert" Kunal Kamra was invited by NYT
I’m hearing that they are inviting Bobby Darling to write about the Afghanistan civil war next month.
In any case, NYT has finally found the culprits behind this despicable act: it was Hindutvawadis
Now look, I have sympathy with her,, what happened with Nidhi Razdan can happen to anyone
And she has also talked about the public way in which it happened in how it caused her so much depression and embarrassment
it is sad and this will probably be the last time I talk about this.
But the reason I want to talk about this, is after falling for the scam, how this has been handled by her
They could have filed a complaint with the police and waited for the police probe to be complete and lay out all the facts in front of the public
But instead they decided to get NYT involved and basically blamed the Indian government and “Hindu nationalists”
Ok, you wanna play in the IPL, you'll have to get used to some sixers and fours
Nidhi Razdan, along with other journalists and politicians were contacted by someone named Tauseef with a JOb offer from Harvard
And then you know what happened, there wasn’t a job offer, and basically the scammer gained access to their personal information
NYT after "research" found that the scammers expressed support online for the Hindu nationalist movement in India
Where’s the proof of that? Proof?
NYT comes from the Lalu Yadav school of Journalism. Everything is opposition's fault
Sir What about Chaara Ghotaala? opposition's fault
Sir what about your loss last election? Opposition is to blame
Sir You have so many kids? Opposition is to...
NYT also spoke to other journalists who had been targeted by these scammers. One of them included Ms. Zainab Sikander
Sikander had written critical pieces and posts about the government’s action in Kashmir. Some analysts believe the scammers may have gone after her because of her trenchant views
And 2BHK journalist Rohini Singh “No other government would invest so much to embarrass Indian journalists,” “This government does it.”
So NYT, Zainab Sikander and Rohini Singh, three journalists, without any proof are pointing their finger at Hindu nationalists and the Indian Government
Despite the fact, that Tauseef had telephone numbers that were not based in the United States, his phone number started with the country code of the United Arab Emirates
She remembers his voice: young, with a South Asian accent, which she believed sounded Pakistani
I didn’t realize Pakistanis had become Hindu nationalists
Nidhi Razdan even had a cybersecurity firm look at the scammers
The suspicious file he uncovered on Ms. Razdan’s computer contained an IP address that had once been linked to a hacking group believed to be associated with Pakistani intelligence
In fact, the first such attack was on a BJP spokesperson. She had even raised a red flag about this person on Twitter and told people that he was scamming people
In fact, it was a Hindutvavadi handle who had tagged Nidhi Razdan and Rohini Singh and asked why they follow Tauseef Ahmad, the man who was perpetuating the scam
There were no red flags then?
Tehseen is a well-known person with a verified handle, Nidhi would have seen his notification separately in the “verified” tab of notifications
What kind of Hindu nationalists are those who go out of their way to attack a Hindutvawadi before they attack anti-Hindutva people?
Can you imagine an ISIS terrorist blowing up mosques instead of temples? Or Tontichor stealing tontis from his own bathroom?
After all of these red flags, it was months later, on the 13th of June 2020, that she announced that she was quitting her job for the mythical job offer from Harvard
So the guy’s name is Tauseef, the number is from UAE, his accent is Pakistani,
even the cybersecurity expert, said that the email IP address looks like it could be Pakistani intelligence or some other foreign government.
But still the people kept saying it was Hindu nationalists and the Indian government.
If they can blame Islamist terror attacks on Hindus
even global warming
then this is hardly a big deal for them
Man, BJP is made such a villain, but they can’t even remove farmers from Singhu border
but look at Nidhi privilege
NYT believes Harvard should have located Nidhi and told her she was part of a scam after she had tweeted about it
She even said: "But no one at Harvard reacted when I publicly announced I was leaving NDTV for the University."
What an amazing sense of entitlement
Katrina didn’t tell me she’s not my girlfriend
People often complain about privilege in India. This is called privilege. She quit her job over a job that she got over one email from Harvard, A position that she hadn’t even applied for,
didn’t even do a video interview for, she didn’t even check if that position was available in the faculty
But she is so entitled, that she believes that Harvard must seek her out and find out if she was part of a scam
to save her own embarrassment, she is willing to say that it was actually Hindutvawadis who planned a cyber-attack on her.
If you had just taken the L, people would have laughed but moved on. Because you tried to tarnish the image of your country and an entire community to hide your embarrassment, you become a meme
