The visuals coming in from Andhra are very concerning. As the one below
WATCH | Dear Indians, this is how local body elections are being conducted in Andhra Pradesh.
She is former AP Health Minister and YSRCP leader @vidadalarajini.
This is how the NDA government led by @ncbn is behaving in Andhra Pradesh. Imagine the plight of an ordinary citizen.
Democracy in Andhra Pradesh has become a BIG JOKE!

What is happening in Andhra Pradesh is extraordinary. Opposition candidates are being brazenly prevented by the ruling TDP goons from filing nomination papers. All in full view & connivance of the police & poll officers!
TDP making a mockery of Democracy

SHAME: Yet another shocking attack on poor Christian rural families in Bengal. How many more heads (if any) will hang in shame? Actions like this carried out with growing impunity lower our global image: this ‘dark’ side of India is far from being the promised ‘sabka saath’. indianexpress.com/article/ci…

“You cannot accuse a person who has been sitting on 23 days of hunger strike that she is calling for violence.”
AISA's Neha Bora (@neha_aisa) rejects allegations that protesters are advocating violence or anarchy. She recounts alleged police brutality, prolonged detentions and attacks on demonstrators, while accusing the BJP, RSS and right-wing groups of violence against protesters.

Have India's young protesters found a voice that the Opposition still lacks?
Veteran journalist and author Tavleen Singh (@tavleen_singh) joins Manika Raikwar (@ManikaRaikwar) on DeKoder to discuss the rise of Gen Z protests, how young people are reclaiming nationalism l, and whether a new political force could emerge ahead of the 2029 general election.
Drawing from her debut political novel The Actor, Tavleen speaks about Bollywood's silence, the pressures facing journalists, and the growing influence of political power over democratic institutions. She also discusses Prashant Kishore's political ambitions, Rahul Gandhi's leadership, and why rebuilding the Congress organisation matters more than rebuilding one leader's image.

Can India's Gen Z protesters redefine nationalism?
Journalist and author Tavleen Singh (@tavleen_singh) explains why the youth-led protests have given her hope. She points to the absence of Hindu-Muslim and caste divisions among protesters and argues that young people have reclaimed the language of nationalism from the BJP through the national flag and patriotic slogans.
In conversation with Manika Raikwar (@ManikaRaikwar) Tavleen reflects on what makes this generation's approach to protest different.

Has a new generation found a way to challenge India's political establishment?
Veteran journalist and author Tavleen Singh (@tavleen_singh) sees something different in the young protesters taking to the streets.
But can their momentum translate into political change? And where does that leave the BJP, Congress and India's established opposition?
From the politics of nationalism to the silence of Bollywood, Tavleen joins Manika Raikwar (@ManikaRaikwar) on DeKoder for a conversation that goes well beyond her new novel, The Actor.
Full interview coming soon on DeKoder. Stay tuned.

At 27 and 31, they are both Gen Z by widely accepted definitions. But more importantly since when did generational labels become a matter for judicial determination? Surely the HC has more substantive questions to address than whether someone qualifies as Gen Z!

How can any civilised country justify keeping two young men in tihar for more than a week now for doing this?

There is no sound legal reason to detain Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka. They must be released immediately.
