Consequences of going to SC. 👇🏼
#BREAKING Supreme Court ask Centre to take an appropriate decision on reconsidering Jantar Mantar as the designated protest venue, and re-designate another location.
SC passes this direction after Solicitor General said Centre will consider re-designating another site.

One important thing to understand is that the legal architecture around the right to protest in India remains colonial in its design, and the Supreme Court has been enforcing this colonial architecture since 1960. The Constitution did nothing to change this.

Many thanks to the @BritFantasySoc for the lovely award, & to SubPress for kindly shipping it to me in India (& publishing the book it's for!). THE LAST DRAGONERS OF BOWBAZAR is a book I'm very proud of, with a v small readership, so I'm truly grateful for the recognition.

Real-life Dorothy couple from Kerala! She explains that the movie is based on their real life experience. They both were childhood friends and now they are happily married.

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

#ModhaRathri, #Dorothy and #Baththa - all 3 films strip men off their masculinity and wants people to be more kind, empathetic and respectful.
So glad these films came from Tamil cinema ❤️

We've done 6 pieces so far, 22,000+ words, 6 events, 500+ folks, 100,000+ readers; majority are from the US, followed by India & the UK.
What should we write about?

Gyanesh Kumar must go!
Demand 1: Initiation of criminal proceedings against Gyanesh immediately, and an answer to the question: Who gave him the orders?
Demand 2: Put all upcoming elections on hold. Freeze the SIR and restore the January 2025 voter list. Set up an independent inquiry into the entire SIR decision-making process. We also demand that the Supreme Court immediately take custody of all SIR-related files to ensure no records are destroyed, altered or go missing.
Demand 3: Repeal the 2023 law on the appointment of the Election Commissioners of India and enact a new law that inspires public confidence, with the active participation of members of civil society.

Yesterday, @IndianExpress reported an unprecedented rupture inside the Election Commission: TWO of its three members objecting on record, 14 times in 10 months, to decisions taken without their knowledge.
Today, the second part of our investigation looks at the concern Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi flagged most often: Who really controls our electoral rolls?
We followed that question to Goa, where we found something deeply concerning.
Stay with me....
