My main Instagram account has been suspended. Then, just a while ago, it was banned in India by government order, with 103k followers. I've been talking about India-Israel relations and making pro-Palestine videos for a while. As well as anti-Hindutva videos and content on Indian politics, Islamophobia, and the RSS cult. I am not unique here; this is happening to everybody. And we can't just let it go. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. AGAIN, JUST REITERATING THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL. THIS IS NOT OKAY.
America and Israel went all guns blazing into the war against Iran. Not only did they lose, and Iran gained a huge renaissance opportunity, but the videos coming out of Iran's propaganda channels hit a raw nerve. Here's one on 250 years of America. Worth watching in full.
Dear Modi and Shah
You actually need to urgently convene a 5-days SPECIAL FULL PARLIAMENT SESSION to discuss the real issues (beyond electoral needs)
1) Fallout of Iran War on India
2) Fallout of AI on Indian jobs and companies
3) Equitable distribution of national economic goods
4) Mass employment generation in manufacturing
5) India's preparation for the turbulence ahead.
This is what India needs. This is what India will love to see and hear, and debate. Given the way the world is changing before our eyes, and where India is going in this whirlwind, the sooner, the better.
Please do it. Thank you.
A micro-forest in the heart of my city is about to chopped down to make a Metro Station, which was perhaps entirely avoidable. Have seen this micro-forest for decades, flourishing, with thousands of happy birds nesting here. All will be gone in a few days. Birds trees all gone.
BTW please plant 1 tree - Ek ped maa ke naam - for sure.

My S.I.R. experience
I was born and brought up, and have lived in the same city for 50+ years now. All documents in place. Changed homes 4 times in same city, in this duration. Have generated direct employment for 2500+ till date (across India), and paid huge taxes to governments across India. Built various enterprises, paying full taxes and dues always. Now, current S.I.R. verification process is very tedious. ECI approach is "don't trust at all", rather than "we trust you". First round barely cleared after finding tough-to-find docs of my departed parents (as my current address in same city is different from that in 2003! Now in second stage, the ECI considers my docs incomplete, and has called me to a far-off Tehsil office with further docs. Will go there tomorrow, in a total waste of time. My BLO is cooperative and informs me "what can I do sir, am helpless, ECI doesn't listen at all". Have collected extra docs, old passports, etc. etc. and will meet the Gods of ECI tomorrow.
Gyanesh Gupta: you are a shameless despicable man. Eternal infinite curses on you. May you forever rot in hell alongwith your masters.
