Gentle reminder of the last instance when women’s rights were upheld in India.

P.S. The accused former WFI Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh still roams freely in the country....

#PhirSe playing on loop since I saw the film. The last time this happened was with 'Mainu Vidaa Karo' from #Chamkila. Again Punjab. Again #IrshadKamil. Again #ArijitSingh. Such a shame he will retire from movie playback singing soon. #Dhurandhar2‌

Never expected any Indian Journalist to give it back to someone as powerful as Kailash Vijayvargiya, Amit Shah's man.
Seeing this video of an Indian Journalist questioning and holding power accountable brings hope.

When Rahul Kamal mentioned the Asia Cup, I thought he would ask Amit Shah why India was allowed to play cricket against Pakistan, but one look from Shah and bro saved his life by pulling one of the most insane topic changes I have ever seen 😹😹😹😹

Ravi Kumar, an engineer from DU and MBA from IIM Kozhikode, appeared for the 2016 ISRO Administrative Officer exam, which he topped.

ISRO then allegedly applied a normalization rule after the results, lowering his score so he lost the top spot.

Ravi challenged this before the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), arguing no such normalisation rule was disclosed earlier and was illegal. Even the Union of India admitted no such rule existed in the recruitment notice.

CAT first adjourned the case (meaning it would be heard later). Ravi claimed this original “adjourn” order was destroyed and replaced with an order dismissing his plea. He then challenged it in Delhi High Court, which also dismissed it.

Ravi openly accused Tribunal members and judges of corruption and forging orders to protect ISRO. CAT found this scandalous and gave him a suspended three-month contempt sentence.

Hurt, Ravi enrolled in law college, became an advocate, and filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking FIRs against six sitting/former judges for alleged forgery.

Yesterday, he appeared in the Supreme Court. The Court called his plea “scandalous” and even made sarcastic remarks, but still appointed former CJ Dr. S Muralidhar as amicus curiae to advise whether FIRs can be filed against judges for allegedly forging orders. If even prima facie evidence emerges, the SC could order a limited probe or internal inquiry.

Hope Ravi wins this one! It is not love nor wisdom, but the sting of pride that drives man beyond his limits. Absolute cinema.

EROS stands tall after 9 decades: this place showed the OG 1978’s Superman, 2013’s Man of Steel and is now screening James Gunn’s #Superman  in IMAX. Sheer legacy.

Here, Zohran Mamdani reads Umar Khalid's Notes from Jail in New York, ahead of Modi's arrival in 2023.

Mamdani is a man of guts, character, and integrity. I have to admit, I like him so much more now.

Such an inspiring tale. Stories need time, nurture, care and persistence. Thank you @BasharatPeer for giving this story all of it and more. So cool of folks at Dharma to back a story like this in today's day and age.

[Basharat Peer @BasharatPeer]

In the summer of 2020, I wrote a story about two young Indian workers. I was working as an editor at @nytopinion and @katiekings, Max Strasser, and Honor Jones published it beautifully. @DharmaMovies bought the rights from @nytimes @NYTimesPR @caitlinroper, @ghaywan adapted it beautifully as Homebound. Premieres at @Festival_Cannes today. I spoke about it to @chhabs for @rediff https://t.co/SRKIapKUee

For anyone who wonders why it is almost impossible to make a good and truthful Hindi film, what is happening with the Phule film is an excellent example. 

Ananth Mahadevan directed the Hindi biographical film Phule, which focuses on the lives of social reformers Jyotirao Phule and Savitribai Phule. 

The film, which stars Pratik Gandhi and Patralekhaa, is set to be released in April 2025 and will highlight the Phules' fight against caste and gender injustice in nineteenth-century India, as well as their pioneering work in education, such as creating the first school for females in Pune in 1848.

However, as soon as the trailer was out, Brahmin organizations in Maharashtra started raising their voices, claiming that the film defames their community. 

I mean, sincerely, the film is literally about Brahmin atrocities against oppressed castes. 

How they were denied schooling for hundreds of years and persecuted. These are known and accepted facts.  

Specifically, critics contend that the famous scene in which Brahmin children throw garbage at Savitribai Phule is factually false and encourages casteism by portraying Brahmins as uniformly nasty. (And these are all true incidents, accepted by historians).  

To handle the outcry, the filmmakers delayed the release by two weeks from its initial date of April 11, 2025 (Jyotirao Phule's birth anniversary).

To make matters worse, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has again played it's dictatorial role by omitted several portions illustrating caste-based discrimination, which weakens the film's message about the systemic oppression the Phules battled against. (List of Scenes in the Picture)

I've also attached a list of the censor board members; look at their surnames and castes.

How can anyone tell truthful and sincere stories in India? Seriously, how?
