So, what is the “TRUTH”? Here, we use data excavated by @shawansen to present some hard facts. But before we begin, let us accept that there are plenty of reasons to protest in India. No government is without blemish, and to link every protest to a “foreign hand” would be wrong. Having said that, it is important not to blithely, or perhaps motivatedly, foreclose the possibility that the calls for “regime change” and “sadak pe faisla” may, in some measure or even substantially, have been shaped by foreign influence. To establish this, let us examine the findings cited in reports and correspondence from the U.S. House of Representatives’ Ways and Means Committee, alongside financial filings with the IRS by certain organisations in the United States. A careful perusal of the documentation suggests that, if not the financial architecture, then at least a substantial part of the intellectual architecture of the “regime change” and “Sadak pe faisla” protests has been built by individuals and organisations linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). In February 2026, the U.S. House of Representatives’ Ways and Means Committee wrote to Vijay Prashad, Executive Director of the U.S.-registered Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. 2/6
