Secularism that celebrates diversity, imbibes multiple cultures and is home to all religions. That's what India has been for centuries. Now under threat, again.

When a government encourages scientific temper, promotes education, brings laws to punish superstition, gives voice to the downtrodden, it creates a thinking population that is aware and can bring down the same government. On the other hand...

Tiger Shroff's car gets shot up in Mumbai, and the man who ordered it is sitting comfortably in Sabarmati Jail, Gujarat, under Amit Shah’s protection.
Here's the documented scandal nobody in TV news will say plainly:
Mumbai Police asked for Bishnoi's physical custody. Denied, because MHA under Amit Shah invoked CrPC Section 268(1) to block the transfer. That order wasn't a one-off. It was extended. Repeatedly.
A gangster who has claimed responsibility for the Salman Khan threat, the Sidhu Moosewala murder conspiracy, and now Tiger Shroff's shooting; is being shielded from every state police agency that wants to interrogate him, by the Union Home Ministry.
This is not negligence. Negligence is accidental. This is a pattern: a gangster transferred OUT of Tihar (where NIA and Delhi Police had access) INTO a Gujarat jail (where nobody gets access), and then a Section 268 wall erected around him so no state can touch him.
Under whose watch does a jailed man run an international criminal enterprise with operatives in Canada, the US, and on Mumbai streets? Amit Shah's watch. He is the Home Minister. The buck stops with him; not with Maharashtra Police, not with Punjab, not with Rahul Gandhi.
The question Modi-Shah's media shields won't ask: if Lawrence Bishnoi is so dangerous that he can't be transferred, why is he not in a high-security NIA facility with zero phone access; instead of a jail from which he apparently runs press statements and shooting orders?
What exactly is the arrangement between the Modi government and Lawrence Bishnoi that makes his Gujarat custody so... convenient?

The priority of BJP since winning election in Bengal was vengeance rather than governance.
So, while Those 18 lives were reduced to corpses, their goons, forces & bulldozers were still busy vandalise, demolish book stalls.
Introducing culture of egg assault wasn't enough, calling Pakhandi Baba from Bimaru Pradesh and insulting Bengali culture wasn't enough. Destroy the daily earnings of poor hawkers wasn't enough. Extortion in the name of Puja dekha at Tala Protoy wasn't enough. Continued attacks on minority Christian churches, Muslim identities wasn't enough.
The govt came to power riding on RG KAR. And since then 2,454 rape cases till 24 Sept. In 5 months!
It is no longer "Dugga ELO" in Bengal. Now it is "Dugga GELO", for how long, no one knows.

“When people start singing Bella Ciao in the streets, you know their anger has turned into a movement. 🇮🇹"
🇮🇹 Italy is rising! Protests have been reported in Milan, Turin, Bologna, Brescia and Bergamo over rising living costs, low wages and government policies.
When the streets sing Bella Ciao, the world listens. 🔥
Bella Ciao isn't just a song. It's a symbol of resistance.

मुंबई पोलिसने मला आणि कुणाल ला खार सबवेमधून उचलले. का, तर आम्ही सॉलिडेरिटी वॉक करायला कार्टर रोड ला निघाली होती.
उबेर केली आणि खार सबवे पर्यंत पोहोचलो तर, उबेर थांबवली, सगळीकडून पोलिस आले सिविल ड्रेस मधे आणि गाडीत बसले. आधी कुणाचा फोन खेचून घेतला आणि मग माझा….. प्रचंड वादावादीनंतर आत्ता फ़ोन परत दिला.
हेच महाराष्ट्राचे पोलिस, कृष्णा आंधळेला आजपर्यंत शोधू शकले नाही. अशोक खरत सारख्या बलात्काऱ्याच्या बायकोला शोधू शकले नाही, आपल्या देशातील पोलिस पुलवामातल्या हल्लेखोरांना शोधू शकले नाहीत, पण सामान्य नागरिकांना छळ छळ छळत आहेत…. मारत आहेत, झोडत आहेत. वाह रे वाह

Please note the Priorities of the Maharashtra govt. Rs. 25,000 crores for kumbh mela in Nashik (initial budget was Rs. 10,000cr) . 14 crores for buying super luxury cars for Mumbai 's politicians cavalcades. Data centre in Pune that guzzles tonnes and tonnes of fresh water while @pcmcindiagovin residents are getting contaminated water. Farmers in 75%of districts in drought and utter water shortage. @bjpmaha

Stampede in Kolkata, shoot out in Mumbai, deaths in Guna - all BJP ruled states - but it is India’s youth asserting their democratic rights in Delhi that are causing anarchy.

The Supreme Court burns to the ground in Albania, Parliament and the Department of Education has been stormed, the Prime Minister is in hiding and the country is effectively in the hands of the rebels.
Albania rejects blatant corruption and their country being sold.

Question for @sanjeevsanyal : if you were born in some other country and educated elsewhere, would you have chosen to be an Indian? If not, have the grace to respect @JeanDreze’s agency and choices.
