My respect for Social Reformers of past has grown in multiples . It must have been so tough for them to convince society against Sati, Child marriage and women exploitation. We canโt convince people to stop firecrackers for their own lungs . Salute to them๐ซก
1) Bal Gangadhar Tilak (the guy who said "Swaraj is my birth right yada yada" & started public celebration of Ganesh puja) fought in Bombay High Court in late 1880s to continue Child marriage and opposed raising age of consent to 12 yrs (contd in thread)
A humble appeal - BAN FIRECRACKERS
Please ban all types of firecrackers all 365 days a year, across India, irrespective of the function, festival, occasion, event or need, private or public, small or big.
There is no other way of avoiding mass respiratory diseases, mass cancer incidence (in coming years), and huge discomfort to crores of humans and animals on a regular basis.
Indians must demand it together. Politics has lost all power to persuade people. Judiciary has no strength left either (in this matter). Only citizens can save themselves. So demand this constantly.
Please save the coming generation at least.
Thank you.
policemen need to be dismissed from service. Itโs a repeat fatigue that these play hero and kill perpetrators without trial if poor and no backlash.
the role of police is to collect the perpetrator, evidence and file chargesheet for judiciary to decide. Theyโre not warlords.

Kapil Sibal: This wonโt end with Gyanesh Kumar. It begins with Gyanesh Kumar.
Former CEC Rajiv Kumar must also be held accountable for his role in putting the nationโs democracy in this mess.
A legal scholar had three years ago predicted that judges will cite the ancient Manu Smriti rather than the constitution. It is already happening, going by recent judgements. This trend will lead us to the mediaeval era
The Indian Independence Movement lasted almost a 100 years, it went through periods of fatigue; Leaders had to find ways of bringing in energy to fight the British Oppression.
Fatigue in an overburdened, over taxed population which finds new HUGE problems on a daily basis is now โproofโ.

These guys have turned Supreme Court into a kangaroo court to do all illegal and illegitimate work for the Union Government.
"Names of 13 crore people have been removed from electoral rolls. The matter has been pending in the Supreme Court for many months and not one meaningful order has been passed. What has happened as a result? Young students and activists, civil society people have taken to the streets and having a peaceful march. What has happened to them?
They have been beaten up, pushed into police vans and it is happening right under the nose of the Supreme Court which under the Constitution has been entrusted the power to safeguard such rights of ordinary citizens": Justice Rekha Sharma
Bangladesh's foreign minister is literally running cover for Saudi Arabia barbarically executing her own country's citizens for the "grave offense" of kissing each other. The S. Asian obsession with blasphemy laws is unbelievable. This mindset needs to be completely eradicated.
Thereโs a subtle message for Indians in the murder (beheading) of Bangladeshi couple in Saudi Arabia:
Never let religion dictate the rules of a land & never let your country be overtaken by religious zeolites.
Faith is the end of imagination, not the beginning of it.
Two men who punched a minor girl then dragged her onto the road, continued to hit her, and ripped her t-shirt got bail within 24 hours. Meanwhile, remand extended for two guys who waved the tricolour. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
BREAKING: Justice Abhay S Oka, former judge of the #SupremeCourt says the Election Commission @ECISVEEP doesn't have the power to decide who is a citizen of India and who isn't. He says the #SupremeCourt should reconsider its decision upholding the constitutionality of Special Intensive Revision(SIR) of electoral rolls
Justice Bagchi & Suryakant should recuse from all the cases related SIR, ECI & Protest.
There are serious doubts on their intentions and biases and previous orders support it.
Even there were resignation demand, they should show that they are upright judge and recuse.
Many Riots in India happen because of this.
Followers of Hindutva Cult masquerade as Muslims and play mischief.
Dear @CPDelhi , @DelhiPolice have you arrested this chameleon or not yet ?
