When all propaganda against the protests failed they resorted to outright threats and intimidation. 'Zindagi barbad kar denge' is not exactly a flex in a country where the youth don't have hope to begin with.
All major leading newspapers have shared this report, I stand firmly by this report. Every word is factual and it also quotes Delhi Police officials

JUST IN | Retired Intelligence Bureau Special Director Yashovardhan Azad, and two other victims of pellet gun injuries — an artist and another professional, move Supreme Court to demand decommissioning or banning the use of wholly or partly metallic kinetic projectiles/pellets fired from pump action rifles or projectile action guns (PAG) for the purpose of crowd dispersal of civilian assemblies by law enforcement agencies and grant of exemplary compensation to all victims of pellet-injuries caused by the State action on July 20 as well as to ensure complete medical treatment, care and rehabilitation of the said victims.

Paper leak is not the disease — it is a symptom of a deeper pathology. So fixing it will not change anything.
The problem is that there are no decent jobs available for Gen Z even after they've spent lakhs on professional courses.
MBA students from second-tier B Schools are being offered ₹16,000-18,000 a month.
So they are disillusioned and angry.
For the first time in 80 years, India's young have no hope.
got to meet apar yesterday, founder/director of @internetfreedom. he helped me a lot during the cbse hack situation and i don’t think i’ve properly said how grateful i am for that.
IFF is one of the very few organizations in india actually fighting for digital rights, privacy, free speech & holding power accountable when it matters. doesn’t matter where you stand politically, work like this matters.
if you can, support them. genuinely one of the most important orgs doing this work in the country right now.
India's demographic dividend was not meant to be spent on the youth becoming delivery riders and cab drivers. Those aren't jobs. They are sources of income. We can't hide behind "but at least they are earning" for long. Economics will come into play. So will protests.
Entrance exams are a lottery that absolves the state of the responsibility to provide opportunity by making it all a matter of individualised effort - the system IS the scam
Never forget that the Indian government had blocked GitHub & Pastebin in 2014 and one government official said that:
> These are all providing very dangerous kind of cut and paste services. You can take code, cut it, paste it, remove it, delete it.
during the protest, i saw everything i dreamed of india as a kid.
- men protecting women.
- strangers showing empathy for others' pain.
- delhi becoming the delhi i read in books.
- food being shared without asking if you're a hindu, muslim or christian.
Please do not forget the contribution of AISA, SFI, AISF whose leaders, students sat on a hunger strike for more than 20 days despite threats to their health. Thank you for showing us what moral courage looks like @neha_aisa
Getting a little annoyed at the ease with which savarna liberals are taking potshots at Dipke. He's not perfect but he stepped up. Took on the govt & won.
Sure he towed a safe, mass-y, generic middle line & is close to AAP. Personally not my favorite politics but he did it on his terms & (need I repeat) won!
I have no connection/agenda with CJP honestly, just a question-- Is a Dalit leader so unacceptable that even in victory, savarna liberals have to micro-analyze who'd be a better leader?
Seeing a lot of progressives expose themselves. Fun.
Hi Cockroaches,
If you are still at the protest site, please find a dank poster called "Ek Roachak Sansad" which is stuck to a dank tree somewhere at the site.
I'll be there mostly all day, listening to your demands & recording them. One cockroach at a time.
See you!
