The @Cockroachisback‘s @SauravDassss & @AshutoshRanka were sent to jail by a police officer acting as magistrate. #Modi govt says its new criminal laws “decolonise” justice. Yet the BNSS retains colonial law allowing such detention, writes @surbhi_karwa

Today hundreds of men belonging to the organisation with a history of burning the 🇮🇳 marched freely on the streets of Bangalore wielding weapons.

Few citizens carrying the 🇮🇳 & singing the National Anthem were stopped & questioned.

Two Indias!

Political participation is also an education. It teaches young people to question society

That river diver union minister wasn't elected as an Arunachal MP to be Modi's lying sidekick. He was first elected in 2004 because of his promise to speak about Chinese intrusions, and he did a good job as an opposition MP. Uncle Gao too. Both don't like talking about the issue anymore.

Stand-up comedian Masoom Rajwani and several others were detained by Mumbai Police for participating in a peaceful candlelight vigil in memory of Sahil Wakode, a Dalit student who died by suicide at IIT Bombay over alleged caste discrimination.

Join us today to discuss @PoliceBangalore and @CPBlr duplicitous stand on rallies outside Freedom Park. Yesterday, the RSS, the unregistered, unaccountable political power behind the dismantling of the Constitution and democracy, held rallies all across Bengaluru. It's done bro.

RT @SushantSin: This is typical Modi way of dealing with the people's protest. Police and PR. In Arunachal too.

RT @SushantSin: Good of the HT to say it clearly. The gutting of the Green nod by the Modi regime lies at the root of the people's anger be…

Lula victory speech:

"We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate.

We cannot have monstrously huge corporations earning millions & billions, paying no taxes to this country & trying to steer this country's election results."

Read somewhere that the animating spirit of the Nazis was not the strutting self-confidence, which came later, but dread-- that unless Germans take extreme steps they would be destroyed. Sanghis are a lot like that, afraid of everything incl the existential threat posed by essays

RT @sarayupani: Remember this clearly - she was just interacting with the police themselves figuring out where people could light candles a…

Absolutely true. The Delhi police brutally beat up protesters in buses & police stations. They first snatched the phones of the protesters, so that the criminal brutality could not be recorded. Though police stations are required to have CCTVs, police buses don’t.! They must also be required to have CCTVs

Bolsanaro had a familiar playbook in Brazil: paint Lula as an ally of crime syndicates, dismiss journos as enemies of society, and tap into people’s anxieties about the loss of traditional values. How did Lula’s party fight it? No analysis here but important to note how the Left there is rooted in culture/religion: in Catholicism that shaped struggles for workers’ rights, in the neighbourhood bar where people gather to sing samba and drink Cachaca. The Left’s strength comes from being part of everyday life.
