New Beginning - Aug 15
Drishtikone's new Weekly newsletter will start on India's Independence Day
On way to Bhojwasa from Gangotri
“It is only when the mind is free from the old that it meets everything anew, and in that there is joy.” ― Krishnamurti
We pushed the envelope of our capability to bring a quality and insightful newsletter every day for over a year. Such an effort is intense and not always sustainable.
That is why we took a break.
To re-evaluate and to re-think.
To ensure that we do bring quality content that is expected from Drishtikone, we will bring out a Weekly newsletter. This will be sustainable and provide us the ability to do the research needed.
Our first edition will start on August 15th, 2021 (Sunday). We will send it out at 10 AM Eastern US time and 7.30 PM India Time. If you think some other time would be better, please share in the comments below.
This time our aim will be to deepen the analysis if we can and also share the weekly happening with some comments.
Meanwhile, we have started a publication on Medium.com - a repository of very well-written content. We are using the URL - DRISHTIK.ONE (a version of ONE VISION).
Please do follow that publication as we will publish the best content from our newsletters - past and the new ones there as well. It will also be something that you can share with friends and use to counter the negative narratives going forward.
For example, we have published “Swastika, Hakenkreuz and the Aryan Christ”. Many have written about Swatika vs Hakenkreuz. But that isn’t the entire story. The real crux of the matter is that Hakenkreuz was ONE of the components that Hitler came up with to change the very direction of Christianity. He was doing what Constantine had done via the Nicene Councils. He was creating a neo-Christianity. A Christianity which was devoid of any connection to Judaism or Christ being a Jew. That is the reason why Hitler attracts anti-Semitic haters. This needs to be clearly understood and shared. For, it is never brought out. For obvious reasons.
We have published three articles there as of now. The latest one is “How Jinnah’s Militias Orchestrated India’s Partition in 1947” - where we share another fact that is critical to understand but is missed by everyone. That partition and the violence that accompanied it was orchestrated by Muslim League under Jinnah in a very planned manner. RSS and Muslim League are always equated in that violence. But it is a false equivalence. We share the reasons why.
The first article is a revelation on the shady world of NGOs. Globally and in India - The Shady World of NGOs. Do read it. It is extremely important to understand how Amnesty has been characterized by folks who have worked at the helm of affairs and have the so-called “secular” credentials. Narratives can best be destroyed by using the facts from the opponents’ own stable.
So please go over to our publication and follow and like/share/comment on the articles.
An eye-opener
The recent interview with Vikram Sampath basis his two volumes on Veer Savarkar by Vivek Agnihotri is a must-watch. Such work - serious and non-sensational in terms of effects and noise, but sensational in terms of content is exceedingly rare in the Indian media.
Do watch this to get a rare insight into Veer Savarkar and then do buy the books by Sampath, as I know I will now.

This is a very practical and sensible decision Desh Ji. I always thought that how can a small team (I assume you have a very efficient but small team to help you) churn out such detailed and filled with facts articles on a daily basis. It was overwhelming for readers like me to digest each story in a single day. Because just reading your newsletter once every morning won't change readers mindsets, we need to keep visiting the newsletter topics again and again. To map the number of facts in your mind, to read the linked sources to better understand the background and then absorb the whole theme of that story, this whole process takes more than just one reading or just 24 hours.
And the next day we get another topic that jolts you again to re-think what you have read and thought so far. So, a week to understand and absorb the topic of your newsletter makes complete sense for dedicated readers like me.
Thanks again Desh Ji, for putting in such an amazing effort to cure mental zombies like me who always thought what we see and hear in the news is the ultimate truth.
Eagerly waiting for your weekly newsletter to start and medium articles too.
Respectfully,
Vibhay
Thank you for consistently producing excellent articles and insights Desh ji. I echo Vibhay ji's thoughts on allowing readers some more time to mull on the rich content and analyses...so the change to a weekly schedule makes perfect sense. How you manage to do it by yourself is still a mystery to me! Thank you for the work that you do.
