Blud Born in A Wrong Country 🥲

[Pawan Khera 🇮🇳 ಪವನ್ ಖೇರಾ @Pawankhera]

A government for billionaires, paid for by billions of Indians.

When farmers and students cannot repay loans of a few thousand or a few lakh rupees, they are pushed to the brink of suicide.

But when India’s billionaires cannot repay their loans, nearly ₹10 lakh crore in corporate debt has been written off over 12 years — without a squeak.

For ordinary Indians: pressure, humiliation and punishment.

For Modi’s billionaire friends: debt waivers, write-offs and a clean slate.

This is an extremely concerning practice in Parliament that has somehow been normalised!

How can legislation of such institutional importance be passed in barely 2 to 3 minutes? If Parliament will not debate how good or bad a Bill is, scrutinise its safeguards, question its consequences, and demand answers from the government that is making it, then what exactly is Parliament for ? This National Tribunals Commission will have a role in appointments to important tribunals dealing with matters ranging from taxation, protecting honest officers, to the environment. Yet there was NO parliamentary discussion on the architecture being created, the people who will exercise these powers, or the safeguards necessary to protect the integrity and independence of the process. And that’s exactly the problem. Tomorrow, when appointments made through this system come under scrutiny, a question mark will inevitably hang over this selection commission itself because Parliament did not scrutinise the system that it produced.

This is not just about this one Bill. This is about the frightening normalisation of legislation without deliberation!

And then we wonder why our institutions fail us. Why paper leaks remain unresolved, why environmental crises worsen, why pollution becomes an everyday catastrophe, and why accountability disappears.

People harping on about “good governance” must know that it does not begin after a law is passed but begins with HOW that law is made!

The President has assented to the #VandeMataram Amendment, passed without discussion in Parliament, which requires the singing of the National Song in full at the start and ending of any official function, in addition to the National Anthem.
As one who greatly respects both, and can sing the first two stanzas of the former (but not the other four, which were never required till now) as well as the entire anthem, i would like to point to just one practical consideration our zealots appear to have overlooked: human nature.
"Jana Gana Mana" requires audiences to stand respectfully and focus their attention for a reasonable 52 seconds. The National Song in full takes 3 minutes and 10 seconds. Tamil Nadu has just decided that both will be preceded by the State Song in Tamil for another 2 minutes. Do we really expect audiences to stand still and respectfully for six minutes before and after every function, a total of 12 extra minutes? Can respect and patience be legislated?
I fear that the intent of the Bill, to promote greater respect for the National Song , will not be achieved, but its opposite may well be....

न प्रधानमंत्री मोदी, न गृह मंत्री अमित शाह में हिम्मत है कि वो संसद में आकर हमारे छात्रों पर हुई बर्बरता पर जवाब दें।

भारत के छात्रों के लिए यह एक साफ़ संदेश है - उन्हें नहीं लगता कि आप पर हुई हिंसा उनकी किसी टिप्पणी के भी लायक है।

[Siddharth @svaradarajan]

What we are seeing is what Bharatiya Janta Party did to their favourite punching bag – Rahul Gandhi – but in reverse: the pappu-isation of Narendra Modi, writes Palash Krishna Mehrotra.

"An image that comes to mind is of Modi forlornly standing at a platform, flagging off a Vande Bharat, except that the train has no passengers. Like the empty train, Modi too is running on empty. The train metaphor can be spun in another way: the train has long left the station, along with the passengers; Modi stands alone on the platform, wearing a golden crown, waving a ghost flag for a ghost train. As the young have woken from slumber, escaped Plato’s cave, the no-longer-Teflon prime minister inaugurates another sleeper train."

इसी स्याही से लिखेंगे आने वाले देश का भविष्य! रोकने की हर कोशिश को करेंगे ध्वस्त!

You are in politics and you fear parliament? When will judges ask this?

[Neha @neha_aisa]

RSS-BJP goons throw ink at me and around 20 other women in Ranchi, Jharkhand!

For them ink is a tool to try to shame others, we will write the future with ink!

[Neha @neha_aisa]

इसी स्याही से हम इंक़लाब लिख देंगे..

झारखंड के छात्र अभी भी साथ मिलकर लड़ रहे हैं एक बेहतर कल लिखने के लिए

जो लोग कभी छात्रों के मुद्दे और जीवन के बारे में जाने की कोशिश नहीं कर पाए उनको स्याही का काम कैसे पता होगा

[Manoj Kumar Jha @manojkjhadu]

When you throw ink at someone who is fighting for a collective cause, you may imagine that you are silencing a person. In truth, you reveal yourself as an agent of a regressive, authoritarian order. Those driven by the spirit of 'transformation' wipe the ink from their faces, but they do not wipe away the cause from their hearts.

रिजिजू जी, संसदीय कार्य मंत्री होने के नाते आपसे बेहतर यह कौन जानता होगा - महिला आरक्षण विधेयक 2023 में ही सर्वसम्मति से पारित हो चुका है, कांग्रेस के पूर्ण समर्थन के साथ।

सवाल यह है कि तीन साल बाद भी वह लागू क्यों नहीं हुआ और अब आप उसे परिसीमन से बेवजह क्यों जोड़ना चाहते हैं?

2023 का क़ानून लागू कीजिए। बिना किसी शर्त के।

[AISA @aisa_official_]

लाठियाँ चलीं, आँसू गैस चले, पेलेट चले।
अब स्याही चली है।
तारीख़ गवाह है – जो कलम से हारते हैं, वही स्याही फेंकते हैं।

In solidarity and rage with our AISA All India President Neha Bora (@neha_aisa).

Have a look at the comments section or dms of any girl in India. Then maybe we can lecture them about their own language.

Do women have to die for your platform to take action against this account @XCorpIndia ???

[Manisha Pande @MnshaP]

Remember the truck full of stones that appeared near the CJP protest site in Jantar Mantar?

@ImAvdheshkumar traced the vehicle with its registration number. It was not a stray truck: the Delhi Police had seized it four days earlier

[Rajdeep Sardesai @sardesairajdeep]

He didn’t carry a weapon. He carried food. He didn’t incite violence. He served meals. Since when did being a food volunteer at Jantar Mantar during CJP protests become a crime? Who will stand up for Junaid? A police force that sees a food volunteer as a threat needs to ask itself some hard questions.🙏

जो भी टीवी न्यूज़ नहीं देख रहा है वह जाने-अनजाने में इस देश का बहुत भला कर रहा है। कई लोग पूछते हैं कि देश के लिए क्या करें। तो मैं उन्हें एक ऐसा काम बताता हूं जिसमें कपड़े भी गंदे नहीं होते। गोदी चैनल मत देखो।

[Ajay Kamath @ajay43]

No protest is perfect. For all boomers whining about Gen Z language- get a grip. We weren’t able to protest against anything effectively, so when somebody does it, doff your hat and stop giving useless gyaan. The BJP IT cell normalised abuse…. and is now having to live with it
