To anyone not from India:
India has been sliding towards authoritarianism over the past decade. Killing democratic institutions, buying media, oligarch allies, intimidating dissent, avoiding accountability on major failures!
For the first time, people are fighting against it.
The data centres that are coming to India after being thrown out of the USA following protests by locals there are also generating public anger and protests here:
Yesterday, while I was traveling, I saw a family constantly littering. When I asked them to throw their waste in a dustbin, the entire family turned against me.
Incidents like these genuinely make me afraid to speak up, even when I know something is wrong.
Can someone explain why I have to physically go house to house collecting neighbour signatures to remove my deceased father from the electoral roll, when the government issued the death certificate themselves? You have the record. You made the record. Use it. Bloody circus

🚨 Ex-HPCL Chairman MK Surana Says On Record:
Ethanol cost: ₹56.71-71/litre
Ex-refinery petrol price: ~₹53/litre
