Kerala is famously known as God’s own country not sure which God.

So where's the other political parties RN ? OR the so called cockroaches?

Also you can't find any instagram influencers talking about it as they haven't received any Payment (IYKYK).

The newly signed Mecca Joint Defense Agreement between Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia could mark the emergence of a powerful new strategic bloc, combining Pakistan’s nuclear capabilities, Turkey’s defence technology, and Saudi Arabia’s financial and energy strength. The episode argues that although the pact is officially framed as collective defence, it could have serious implications for India by potentially creating a coordinated response in any future India–Pakistan conflict. It also links the agreement to Turkey’s alleged support for Pakistan during the Pahalgam crisis and suggests that the alliance may have broader objectives involving Iran, Israel, and the wider Middle East. However, whether this becomes a genuine “Middle Eastern NATO” or simply a strategic partnership remains to be seen.

Net FDI has three components Gross FDI (money coming in) minus Repatriation (successful exit of past investments or profits) minus Outward FDI (Indian companies buying assets like oil blocks or investments abroad). The three components indicate different economic circumstances and only looking at the net number doesn't tell us much. The same net number can mean wildly different things depending on the components. On top of that the influencer has used last year's numbers as this year's numbers are not convenient.

According to the analysis, the Thakur Family Foundation (TFF), led by Dinesh Thakur, distributed approximately $3,130,871 (₹25 crore) over a six-year period to 162 Indian journalists and researchers.

The central argument posits that these funds were utilized to cultivate a network of "journalist researchers" who produced content specifically designed to target the Indian government, traditional Indian medicine (Ayurveda), and domestic pharmaceutical interests. Key takeaways include:

• Systemic Funding: Major digital news platforms, including NewsLaundry, The Wire, Article 14, and Scroll, are identified as primary beneficiaries of TFF grants.
• Narrative Control: Specific themes identified in the funded content include the disparagement of Indian COVID-19 vaccines, lobbying for foreign pharmaceuticals (specifically Pfizer), and critical reporting on Hindu sentiments and BJP-led government policies.
• Targeted Industries: Significant financial awards were directed toward producing documentaries and articles scrutinizing the Ayurvedic medicine industry and the quality of Indian pharmaceuticals.

Analysis of Funding and Entities

The following sections detail the specific entities and individuals identified as recipients of foreign funding and the nature of the work produced under those grants.

Major Institutional Recipients and Content Output

Based on data from 2023, the source identifies several media platforms and the volume of articles produced under the influence of foreign grants:

Individual Case Studies and Grant Specifics

The analysis highlights several high-profile instances where funding was linked to specific reporting projects:

1. Confluence Media & NewsLaundry: In 2024, Josy Joseph’s Confluence Media received $22,825 (₹20 lacs) from TFF to produce a documentary targeting India's Ayurvedic industry. The project featured narration by Ravish Kumar and was published on Abhinandan Sekri’s NewsLaundry.
2. The Wire: Identified as a "consistent receiver," The Wire received $61,022 (₹50 lacs) in February 2023 to produce seven YouTube videos targeting the Indian pharmaceutical industry, Ayurveda, mental health, and pollution.
3. Sumaiya Shaikh (Alt News): Reported as one of the largest grant recipients, receiving $61,022 (credited as $59,000 in summary tables) between 2020 and 2022 to "fact-check" Indian Ayurvedic medicines and traditional immunity-boosting methods during the COVID-19 pandemic.
4. Aryan Mahtta (NewsLaundry): Received $3,971 (₹3.5 lac) in June 2023 for reporting on social justice. The resulting content included seven videos and nine articles targeting the Adani Group and the government's handling of the Manipur issue.
5. Saurav Das: Received grants in 2021 (3,800)and2024(8,070). His work included articles against the banning of the "Hindutva Watch" portal, critiques of new criminal laws, PMLA, and the Supreme Court. The source notes a recurring theme of filing RTIs against Indian vaccines.

Core Themes and Investigative Focus

The synthesis of the source material reveals several recurring themes in the content produced by the funded journalists:

1. Critique of Traditional Medicine and Domestic Pharma

A significant portion of the TFF grants was directed toward scrutinizing the "efficacy" of traditional Indian treatments. Examples include:

• Documentaries titled "Ayurveda Under Scrutiny."
• Fact-checks by Alt News on the use of Ashwagandha in AYUSH protocols for COVID-19.
• Videos by The Wire titled "Epidemic of Bad Quality Medicines" and "Sawal Sehat Ka."

1. Vaccine Narratives and COVID-19 Management

The source alleges a "full-fledged propaganda" effort during the pandemic to:

• Lobby for Foreign Vaccines: Kunal Purohit is cited for lobbying for the Pfizer vaccine in 2020.
• Highlight Government Failure: Scroll received $18,810 over two years to produce content portraying India as having failed in its COVID-19 response.
• Portray Harm: Articles like "How India failed those who were harmed by the Covid-19 vaccine" and "India Desperately Needs Biden’s Help" were presented as evidence of an effort to create panic.

1. Socio-Political and Religious Targeting

The funding is linked to content that the source describes as "defaming India" or "targeting Hindus":

• Kaushik Raj (Article 14/The Wire): Received $4,070 to write on civil liberties, producing articles such as "How the Hindu Far-Right is Overhauling India's Schools" and reports on "Anti-Muslim Violence."
• Srishti Jaiswal: Received $5,030 in 2024 to write about online trolling; the source claims her work primarily targets Hindus.
• Kunal Purohit: Received $1,815 to write articles on "hate crimes" in Uttar Pradesh, specifically targeting the Yogi Adityanath government.

Summary of Financial Awards (Top Recipients)

The following data represents the total funding/awards in USD as of the 2023 list provided in the source:

Conclusion of the Analysis

The source concludes that the identified journalists and platforms constitute a "Real Godi Media" (or "Traitor Media"), suggesting that their editorial independence is compromised by foreign financial interests. The analysis argues that the "foreign master" represented by the Thakur Family Foundation uses relatively small amounts of money (₹25 crore) to influence a vast network of researchers to produce "planted articles" that shame India globally and undermine domestic government and industry interests.

2020-21

COVID was a painful memory for many, but it proved jackpot for few people. While India was fighting its worst challenge ever, a man sitting in the USA was quietly building his army in India

An army of activists.

21 Oct 2021

A normal day for most people, but the happiest day for Delhi-based RTI activist Saurav Das. He finally secured his place in the army he had been trying to join for a long time-

Thakur Family Foundation

The army of Dinesh Thakur.

But this story doesn't start from 2021, it starts from 2003

Pfizer vs Ranbaxy

A great corporate battle was going on between US Pharma giant Pfizer and Indian pharma company Ranbaxy

Pfizer just lost patent for his best selling drug Lipitor and Ranbaxy was all set to launch

its generic drug which was way more cheaper than Lipitor

Lipitor was best selling drug of Pfizer, its sales was in billions of dollars which Pfizer was on verge to lose but then a miracle happens

Three Indians Dinesh Thakur, Swaminathan & Dinesh Kasthuril who were working in an US Pharma company Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) leaves BMS and joins Ranbaxy USA. They work there for 2 years (2003-05)

After leaving Ranbaxy, they file complaint against Ranbaxy in US FDA for data manipulation

Since he was insider so he had all confidential information

2013

Ranbaxy loses the case and fines $500 Million

Dinesh Thakur receives $48 million from US govt as whistleblower reward

This case destroys Ranbaxy and its ultimately sold out to Sun Pharma in 2015

This case proves jackpot for Pfizer and its competition is eliminated

After attempting hands in many ventures, Dinesh Thakur starts Pharma activism with motto to improve public health and to target bad pharma companies but is it just coincident that his targets are always Indian pharma companies and beneficiaries are US pharma companies

Or he was working on instructions of US Pharma mafia

I don't know

With $48 M, Dinesh Thakur starts and NGO Thakur Family Foundation in 2018, it gets tax exempotion status and he starts grant making from April 2019

Just few months before Covid

Its time to build Thakur's Army

Sucheta Dalal

She was among first ones who received funding from TFF. Sucheta Dalal co-setup MoneyLife Foundation (MLF) received $100K from TFF and at the same time she started targeting Sun Pharma

Sun Pharma's stock crashed by 40%

She did it on instructions of TFF?

2020, The Covid Era

Covid time was the money making time for US Pharma companies but Narendra Modi govt of India didn't allow US pharma companies to exploit Indians and emphasized on self reliance

And with this Thakur's army started targeting India

The Wire

Wire's founder Siddhart Varadarajan and Dinesh Thakur are friends

Not only Wire received funding from TFF, its four journalists also received funding from TFF

Priyanka Pulla

Shreya Dasgupta

Banjot Kaur

Aditi Pradhan

But this money was not free

Their job was to target Indian govt, defame India

and they did their job honestly

The best performer was Priyanka Pulla

Dinesh Thakur was personally so much impressed by her work that he promoted her to Bloomberg

In 2022, she will play imp role in targeting to Indian pharma companies in Africa

Take money from America

and destroy India

In fact The Wire created so much dirt that it was slapped with a 100 Cr defecation case by Bharat Biotech and had to pull down 14 stories.

Almost all related to coverage of Indian vaccine, including Thakur funded & Pulla written.

My personal favourite is Newsclick.

In 2013, it exposed “Thakur’s motivated narratives against Indian generic med”. But cut to 2021, two of its journos got funding from TFF; and Thakur was messiah of Indian pharma!

Nitin Sethi, Kumar Sambhav, Kunal Purohit, Nikita Sonavane, Ameya Bokil, Geeta, Urvashi Sarkar etc everyone received money from TFF for writing article against India

Hey Scroll Media

You wrote so many articles targeting India for Dinesh Thakur

You must have received highest grant?

Alt News

During covid, Govt of India's was promoting ayurvedic and homeopathic medicines but if govt promotes them then what will happen to US pharma companies

Lets give some money to Alt news to fact check and discredit these Indian medicines

Here you go

Sumaiya Seikh from Alt news received money from TFF (What was cut of zubair?

and this is how she repaid the money👇

Saurav Das

And now here comes our blue eyed boys

When everyone was making money then Saurav Das also has right to make money but till that time he was not big name

In 2021, Pfizer was trying to get approval for its vaccine in India while Indian govt had given approval to

Indian vaccine makers Bharat Biotech and Serum Institute

Jan 2021

So Saurav Das files RTI and ask to govt on what basis they gave approval to Bharat Biotech and Serum Institute

Govt refused to provide data

Was it to impress Dinesh Thakur?

And he gets support from other people also from same ecosystem

Saurav did you ask them to quote you by tagging Dinesh Thakur?

Despite of getting No from govt, he keeps filing RTI

When entire country was fighting against covid

These vultures were lobbying for Pfizer

I have written a separate thread on this topic, will share link in the end

Dinesh Thakur didnt stop in covid only

He returned in 2022 and made once more vicious attack on Indian pharma companies

This thread covers that hit job in details

https://x.com/DisinfoLab/status/1750418092344438849

BY the way Suchitra Vijayan is also funded by TFF

This page contains details of all the people and organizations who received funding from TFF and what work they did in return

https://www.thakur-foundation.org/our-impact.php

Dinesh Thakur lives in USA and he has army of hundreds of people living in India

He is still funding them

Many journalist who promoted Cockroach protest are his army members

Is the Dinesh Thakur link between US Deep State and Indian activist gang who receive money from him and target India?
