A 13 year old minor girl was kept as a domestic worker for 6 years, was allegedly physically abused. The accused hid the girl inside the box before the officials arrived. There should be ban on hiring any domestic help unless there’s proper protection.
It was Pt. Nehru's first visit to the USSR. He was invited on the occasion of 10th anniversary of the October revolution.
Providing an account of what he saw in Moscow, he noted:
“It is full of churches, someone told us that there used to be 1,600 of them.

The use of “gobi farming” imagery by a sitting Cabinet Minister of Assam in the wake of the Bihar election results marks a shocking new low in political discourse. It is both vulgar and shameful.
The image is widely associated with the Logain massacre of 1989, where 116 Muslims were killed and their bodies concealed under cauliflower plantations during the Bhagalpur violence.
To invoke such a tragedy in this manner shows how far some are willing to descend in public life.
This mindset is promoted by his boss Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. The Chief Minister has a hatred for Indian minorities. This is not what Assam is.
Assam is the land of Mahapurush Sankardev , Lachit Borphukan and Azaan Pir. And next year the people of Assam will end the rule of hate and greed.
Social democracy cannot serve as a true alternative to capitalism. It appears attractive on the surface but is built upon deep contradictions that eventually collapse under their own weight.
At its core, social democracy seeks a balance between capitalist profit motives and socialist calls for fair wages, quality public services, and ecological protection. Yet these progressive demands inherently threaten capital itself because they raise production costs, empower workers, and weaken the endless drive for accumulation that capitalism depends on.
There are two ways to address this contradiction. One is to reject the logic of accumulation altogether and move toward a post-capitalist system organized democratically around human needs and ecological balance. Social democracy, however, remains loyal to capitalism. It manages the contradiction not by overcoming it but by exporting its costs. Through imperialism, social democratic states extract cheap labour and natural resources from the global South, allowing them to sustain prosperity, high wages, and welfare systems at home while keeping capital accumulation intact.
Even those states often praised as moral examples, such as the Scandinavian countries, rely on vast transfers of value from the global South through unequal exchange. Their social stability is built on the hidden exploitation of others.
This imperial outlet is not available to nations on the periphery. When workers and environmental movements in the South demand justice, their ruling classes cannot offset those demands through external exploitation. With no outside to draw from, they turn to coercion. Repression becomes the only means to preserve accumulation, often with the direct or indirect support of the core powers.
The violence that marks many capitalist states in the South is therefore not cultural or accidental but structural. Capitalism itself requires violence to survive. The imperial core can appear peaceful only because the brutality is displaced elsewhere.
Social democracy, then, is not a step beyond capitalism but a softer version of it. The illusion works only for those who benefit from it. The miners in Congo and the garment workers in Bangladesh who feed Western industries see through it clearly.
A real alternative must go further. It must build an economy centered on human well-being and ecological balance rather than profit. Such a system is entirely possible, but it demands abandoning the drive for accumulation once and for all.

Charlie Kirk’s shooter’s bullet casings had the following messages engraved:
“*notices bulge* OWO what’s this?”

I'd love to see half of the Indian liberals that are mourning Tata's death mourn the state-sanctioned murder of G.N. Saibaba, a man who, with what little he had worked tirelessly for human rights for the marginalized.
But we both know that will never happen.
Rest in power, sir.
This 2024 election gave hope to many that a strong opposition would speak up to protect democracy and the dignity of marginalised communities.
Long Thread 🧵
For as long as I can remember, ever since I was a high school student, people have been telling me that my anger at the establishment is juvenile. "Iss age mein sab aise hote hain".
I was a 9th class student when they attacked JNU, class 10th when Y*gi came to power.

5 Irritating things about Umar Khalid:
1. "Hmm hmm" If he is listening to you, he will say "hmm hmm" at least 20-30 times per minute.
2. He has a habit of standing with one hand on his back, pressing down hard as if trying to straighten his back.
