Civilised people don't eat like this: Indian-origin US politician Zohran Mamdani gets ridiculed for eating with hands
The United States representative for Texas posted on X, 'Civilised people in America don't eat like this. If you refuse to adopt Western customs, go back to the Third World.'
Netizens were quick to dig out Gill's Indian-origin father-in-law Dinesh D'Souza's photo from the past eating with his hands. They lashed out at him for targetting Zohran on cultural lines. Gill's father-in-law eating with hand in past
One of the users said, "How do you eat tacos, french fries, burgers etc? Do you eat Lays with a fork too?" Another remarked, 'Brandon Gill's father-in-law Dinesh D'Souza was born and raised in India and has definitely eaten with his hands. Is he going to ask his father-in-law to leave the US too.'
'If you're gonna be a giant racist douche against Indians, don't go marrying an Indian,' commented a third user.
'I did not grow up eating rice with my hands and have always used a fork. I was born in America. I'm a Christian MAGA patriot. My father's extended family lives in India and they are also Christian and they use forks too. Thank you for your attention to this matter,' Brandon's wife Danielle D'Souza Gill said.

Musk-backed Thomas Massie has 10 votes to block Trump's Big Beautiful Bill: Who voted how?
Rep Thomas Massie of Kentucky, backed by Elon Musk, admitted that he has 'enough' votes to block President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act in its final House vote, NOTUS reporter Reese Gorman reported on Wednesday, citing the congressman. The 54-year-old is said to have secured at least 10 House Republican votes. This comes after the Senate passed the bill earlier this week. U.S. Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) reportedly said he has enough votes to block Trump's Big Beautiful Bill(REUTERS) According to Gorman, Rep Massie 'enthusiastically' said he has a 'vote bloc of 10' Republican members who will vote against the tax and spending bill. Former Trump adviser, Elon Musk, has publicly supported the Kentucky Republican, calling the bill a 'debt bomb' and vowing to fund primary challenges against Republicans who back it, while endorsing Massie's re-election despite Trump's threats. The House GOP holds a 218-217 majority (assuming full attendance), meaning four defections could sink the bill. Massie's claim of 10 votes suggests a significant rebellion, though no confirmed list of defectors exists. A procedural vote on the House floor is taking place on Wednesday. At the time of writing this story, the amendment to rule from Republican Rep Virginia Foxx had 211 yes votes from Republicans and 212 no votes from Republicans, with nine 'no votes' from Republican members. Earlier, all but five House Republicans, including Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), John James (R-MI), and Chip Roy (R-TX), who flipped to 'yes' after revisions. Roy and Ralph Norman (R-SC) initially opposed a procedural vote but supported final passage after Medicaid work requirement changes. All House Democrats, led by Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), plus Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Warren Davidson (R-OH), who cited deficit concerns. Massie called it a 'debt bomb ticking', and Davidson criticized future spending cut promises. Potential defectors for second vote Massie's claimed 10 votes remain unconfirmed, but likely include: Thomas Massie (R-KY), Warren Davidson (R-OH), Andy Harris (R-MD), Chip Roy (R-TX) and Ralph Norman (R-SC). We do not have any confirmations yet. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act extends Trump's 2017 tax cuts, eliminates taxes on tips and overtime, raises the SALT cap to $40,000, and funds $175 billion for border security and mass deportations. It cuts $700 billion from Medicaid and SNAP, adding $3.3–$4 trillion to the deficit The Senate's 51-49 vote (with JD Vance breaking a tie) included Medicaid adjustments, but fiscal conservatives like Massie remain unsatisfied.

Quad condemns Pahalgam attack, seeks action against perpetrators but no mention of any terror group
The Quad foreign ministers strongly condemned the Pahalgam terrorist attack in a joint statement, calling for the perpetrators, organisers and financiers of the 'reprehensible act' to be brought to justice without any delay. It also urged all UN States to cooperate with 'all relevant authorities' in this regard, without naming Pakistan or India. In his opening remarks at the meeting in Washington, external affairs minister S Jaishankar had said India expected Quad – a strategic grouping of leading maritime nations committed to a free and open Indo-Pacific – to understand and appreciate India's right to defend its citizens from cross-border terrorism. This was the first Quad ministerial since the April 22 Pahalgam attack and the subsequent India-Pakistan conflict that ended with India's bombing of Pakistan air bases. 'We condemn in the strongest terms the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir on April 22, 2025, which claimed the lives of 25 Indian nationals and one Nepali citizen, while injuring several others,' said the Quad statement, expressing deepest condolences to the families of the victims. The UN Security Council (UNSC) statement condemning the attack in April seemed to have acted as a template for the Quad, the former having urged UN States to cooperate with all relevant authorities – without specifically mentioning India - in accordance with their obligations under international law and relevant UNSC resolutions. Like with the UNSC condemnation, there was also no mention of the perpetrator group – The Resistance Front (TRF) – in the Quad statement. As a non-permanent Council member, Pakistan had worked to water down the UNSC statement with support from Beijing. 'We call for the perpetrators, organizers, and financiers of this reprehensible act to be brought to justice without any delay and urge all UN Member States, in accordance with their obligations under international law and relevant UNSCRs, to cooperate actively with all relevant authorities in this regard,' added the Quad statement. Like in the past, the Quad ministerial unequivocally condemned all acts of terrorism and violent extremism in all its forms and manifestations, including cross-border terrorism, renewing commitment to counterterrorism cooperation. Apart from India, Quad comprises the US, Australia and Japan, all of which had separately condemned the Pahalgam terrorist attack. India, however, was keen that Quad do so in a joint statement for a more impactful response to Pakistan's role in the attack and its support for cross-border terrorism. It was a fair expectation, given Quad's strong condemnation of cross-border terrorism in the past too, like after the foreign ministers' meeting in Tokyo last year in July. On that occasion, Quad had strongly condemned 26/11 Mumbai and Pathankot attacks, calling for bringing the perpetrators of these attacks to justice without delay, and naming UN-proscribed groups including Pakistan-based JeM and LeT for concerted action against them by the international community. There was no mention this time of any Pakistan terror group or the Mumbai and Pathankot attacks in the Quad statement.
