My dear friends, please, I hope to demand your absolute attention to this matter:
In 2018, my junior from St. John’s Medical College, Bengaluru, Dr. Randall Sequeira (middle in the pic), trekked up a steep, bauxite-rich plateau in Odisha to hold a monsoon health camp in the indigenous Kutiya Kondh village of Kutrumali.
In a piece he wrote then titled "Kutrumali’s Demons," Randall described sleeping under a dripping school roof in freezing fog, borrowing utensils from a local health worker to cook khichdi, and waking up at 6 AM to a line of tribal mothers. He wrote with heartbreak about treating malnourished toddlers with protruding bellies and visible ribs, listening to stories of stillbirths and chronic fevers, while noticing the shiny new solar lights installed by a mining conglomerate eyeing the aluminium ore beneath the villagers' feet.
Comparing his small medical team to hobbits sheltering in the night, Randall worried about the outside forces coming for that fragile village.
Randall stayed with the tribal/ adivasi community to serve them. After St. John’s and an MD in Internal Medicine from SMS Jaipur, he gave up every comfort of urban medicine to live in Kalahandi, recognizing that clinical prescriptions are meaningless when indigenous communities are stripped of their forests, water, and dignity.
On the night of October 16, Odisha police picked up Dr. Randall Sequeira and Dalit activist Laxman Naik at 11 PM from his home in Bhawanipatna. A gentle physician who has spent years trekking up hills to save tribal children is now locked in Rayagada sub-jail under frivolous but draconian charges (attempt to murder, dacoity), simply for standing with Adivasis peaceful protesting the mining of their sacred hills in Sijimali and Kutrumali.

Odisha Govt. said it will cut down forests to connect tribal villages. But it was a way to bypass green laws and fast track London based Vedanta’s, and Adani's mining plans. Local organisations estimate that around 45 villages depend on these hills and would be affected.

The state has answered with repression rather than dialogue. In the last three years, at least 43 police cases have been filed and over a hundred Adivasis and Dalits, both women and men, have been incarcerated in Odisha jails. For example, from In March and april 2026, 8, 2026, to April 8, 2026, within one month, 24 people were sent to jail, 217 were made accused, and the number of “others” total 1,140. An activist who was not named in the original FIRs, but has since been implicated in about 12 cases, so that bail in one case is followed by arrest in another. This pattern of capture and releases have been used to crush rational dissent.
Dr. Randall understood that being a good doctor means understanding that prescriptions cannot compensate for the denial of land rights, that surgery cannot undo displacement and that no medical can substitute for the basic infrastructure a government has failed to provide.

To my fellow medical fraternity, and every citizen with a conscience: a kind physician who embodies the highest ethics of our profession is being criminalized to clear the way for bauxite mining. Please do not let his voice be buried in a sub-jail.
Amplify this, demand due process, and demand the immediate release. Please sign in this form to show solidarity: https://t.co/cgLIoEXExG

I just cast my ballot for James Talarico.
As a second-generation Indian American, I am thoroughly disgusted by the xenophobia, racial resentment, and increasingly brazen attacks on my identity. My family has contributed to the American story through hard work, sacrifice, and an unwavering belief in the opportunities this nation promises. I am every bit as American as anyone else, and I will not tolerate being treated as a perpetual foreigner in the country I call home.
I implore every eligible Texan to get out and vote. This election is about the kind of state and country we are prepared to defend—and the principles we refuse to surrender.

So this is exactly the gap hindutva seeks to plug.
Muslims will not be allowed to take advantages of polytheistic pluralism of a hindu majority country,
If they are not willing to weaken the rigidity, intolerance & dogma of their Monotheism
As simple as that.
Bangladesh Colour Revolution: India Should Pay Attention.
Yunus stood on a stage in New York with Bill Clinton and named Mahfuz Alam as the brain behind the revolution. His exact words: it was meticulously designed, it didn’t just come suddenly.
Two years later, Neha Bora >> the student leader the NYT and BBC are now calling the face of India’s protests >> puts out a video thanking Bangladesh’s Gen Z for showing them the way.
Same vocabulary. Same playbook.
People keep asking if there’s a foreign hand. Yunus answered that question himself, on camera, in front of Clinton.
India should really pay attention.
What is happening right now in India is exactly the same colour revolution playbook.
Rashmika and Rakshit would have never worked out.
Rakshit is non cringe. Rashmika, the opposite.
Which is why she chose this clown Vijay Devarakonda.
Made for each other.
Both cant act. Both cant be normal. Both cringe asf.
Human rights lawyer Vrinda Grover, who is now handling legal affairs for CJP, was among those who signed the mercy petition for 26/11 terrorist Ajmal Kasab.
The ecosystem always reveals itself.
Never forget. Never forgive. 🇮🇳
That 'regime change' confession from Bhushan has done a lot of damage. Opposition spokespersons are ducking for cover on primetime debates. Knowing the BJP, that video must have made it to every single booth's WhatsApp group. Thank you, Bora and Bhushan. Two dolts.
Public me Hindustan
Private me Pakistan
The same @AshutoshRanka who was taking his pay from a Pakistani when operation Sindoor was on? And when Pakistani terrorists were specifically targeting & killing Hindus?
I'm begging Indian Americans to learn how to be properly armed, and utilize their second amendment rights.
Threats are real. Like some of our brethren in the Jewish and African American communities, we need to learn to defend ourselves.
