इन काली सदियों के सर से
जब रात का आँचल ढलकेगा,
जब दुःख के बादल पिघलेंगे,
जब सुख का सागर छलकेगा,
जब अंबर झूम के नाचेगा,
जब धरती नग्में गाएगी,
वो सुबह कभी तो आएगी... वो सुबह कभी तो आयेगी ।

लगे हाथों गाँधी जी को भी माफ़ कर दो कि वो जानबूझ के गोडसे की बन्दूक के सामने आ गए।

“Ye cultural shock hai ki humari betiya iss prakar ki bhasha kaise bol sakti hai” abey buddhe humare liye bhi ye cultural shock ki hai ki aurato ko surpnakha, congress ki vidhwa, jersey cow aur 50 crore ki gf bolne wala humara PM bana baitha hai aur hume gyan chod raha hai.

If I have to abuse someone I really hate and despise, I'll just call them Narendra Modi,

that name itself is worse than any kind of abusive word I can think of.

There's nothing more humiliating than being referred to as a mass murdering, bloodthirsty, insecure, pathetic, coward

[Añj @MsAnjaliRB]

Adult women don’t need your moral policing. They aren’t your daughters. Men abused you too, yet your boring asf lecture was reserved for women. Whenever women step outside your patriarchal, nationalist idea of how they should behave, you label it a “cultural crisis.”

देश इनसे माफ़ी मांगने को कह रहा है, इन्होंने देश को माफ़ कर दिया।

I can’t control it anymore.😭

It’s संसद not सांसद

सांसद = Member of Parliament
संसद = Parliament

Gujarat anti-muslim pogrom*. Not a “riot”.

The fascists hate our classrooms.

Dear Apoorvanand sir, I respectfully disagree. No one expects movement leaders to be a shield against state repression. But when an organization gives the call to the streets, it also assumes a responsibility towards those who answer it. CJP did not mobilise only seasoned activists. It called upon students, daily wage workers, people from different caste, class and religious backgrounds, including those who are the most vulnerable to police action. People like Saurav, Abhijeet and Ashutosh now have the networks, public visibility and support of different mainstream political parties and civil society that many ordinary protesters do not. That influence should now be used to ensure legal aid, document every arrest and FIR, track every case, and stand beside those facing retaliation.

[Nabiya Khan @nabiyakhan_25]

I agree, but I don’t think @AfreenFatima136 is an example of someone who has been intimidated into silence. If anything, she embodies the opposite. She has lived through the demolition of her home, the imprisonment of her father, years of displacement, surveillance, and an extraordinary degree of public scrutiny yet her voice remains intact. Visibility is not the only measure of resistance.

My grief is for the many many Muslim women who have been pushed out of public life not only by the state’s repression and attacks by the right wing but also by relentless character assassination, misogyny, and orchestrated online witch hunts, from some Muslim men especially here. These attacks are a way of warning women that they could speak, but only if they stayed within limits these men had set for them.

Muslim women have never lacked courage. They have been among the clearest and loudest voices against injustice in this country. What they have lacked is the collective protection and solidarity they deserved. That is on all of us. And Muslim women are not going anywhere.

Delhi Police were f**kin with the Protesters and the Protesters were f**kin with the Delhi Police... 😂😂😂

[Sarah Mishra @MishraSarah]

@AbhinPan Muje bhi ye bina matlab ki duniya chord kar aapki duniya mein aana hai. 🥲😂

[🍉gimo @gimoxtweet]

Even the most liberal Hindu believes Indian Muslims are uneducated by choice. The fact is that your radical brethren don't let us get educated. When we study in secular schools, we're mistreated by Hindus. When we build our own institutions, Hindus demolish them.

[gulvinder @rebelliousdogra]

TRUE LEADERSHIP

"BJP is backtracking on its promise of no action, no FIRs on protestors, students have been arrested in Bihar, West Bengal and other NDA ruled states. Students are being harrased. Muslims students are being specifically targeted. I will be in Patna tomorrow."- @neha_aisa

[Sarah Mishra @MishraSarah]

So apparently Godi media is now saying “we were always with the students who suffered”, “we always asked for accountability from Pradhan”.

Jo hua bohot acha hua inke sath protest mein🤣. Nahi sudhre toh same treatment continue rahega🙂

[Rahul Gandhi @RahulGandhi]

Pellet guns, lathis and tear gas were used against students peacefully protesting in Delhi.

I met 19-year-old Sahil Lochab. Shot with pellets, he may lose an eye. His “crime”? Demanding an end to paper leaks and a fair future for our students.

@AmitShah ji, I have two questions:

1. Did you approve the use of lethal force, including pellet guns, against students? If not, who did?

2. Were the men in plain clothes beating students with lathis police personnel or volunteers? Who authorised their deployment?

Desh jawab maang raha hai.

[Vidya @VidyaKrishnan]

Huge shout-out to @vijaita - one of THE best reporters in this country rn.

And to @the_hindu for being among the first to break this story on pellet gun use.

folks many student protestors have gathered outside Jauhar University to protest its demolition. Show them SOLIDARITY! Protection of minority education institutions is central to right to Education. AMPLIFY!

[gulvinder @rebelliousdogra]

THANK YOU JUNAID ❤️

Dipke didn't. Sourav didn't. Ranka didn't. Wangchuk didn't. Gitanjali didn't.

No one thanked Junaid.

The same Junaid who was feeding thousands at Jantar Mantar every single day selflessly.

Nobody condemned his family being harassed in UP.

He wasn't even invited on the stage.

Why? Because he is a MUSLIM!

Thank you Junaid bhai, the youth of this country salutes you 🙏🫡

[Pratik Sinha @free_thinker]

This couple is full of so many red flags. A protest which even mainstream media failed to make it about religion, they are.
