The SC/ST Atrocities Act is India’s own blasphemy law.
Like Pakistan’s blasphemy law, it is widely misused. Like blasphemy cases, allegations can destroy lives before guilt is established. Like blasphemy, you can be booked for “insulting” figures who have been dead for centuries. And like blasphemy laws, its language is dangerously broad.
But there is one difference: the scale is far greater. It is more draconian.
The number of people destroyed by system under the SC/ST Act is vastly greater than those prosecuted under Pakistan’s blasphemy laws.
No country can call itself civilized if it implements laws like blasphemy and SC/ST Atrocity act.
Either reform it or abolish it. #StopMisuseOfScStAct

Father talking to his son for the last time 💔
In a deeply moving and heartbreaking moment, a father battling terminal cancer left a poignant final message for his young son, Mantra,
Before passing away. In his last words, he gently instructed Mantra to always listen to his mother, care for her, and protect his two sisters. Reminding his son not to ask where he went, he lovingly reassured Mantra that whenever he misses him, his spirit will always be close by.
A uniform does not make a person feel less pain.
Behind every badge is a beating heart, a family and a promise to serve.
Seeing on-duty police personnel assaulted is deeply disturbing.
Disagreement can have a voice.
Violence should never have a place.

The CJI made a "cockroach" remark for some reason, which was seen as mocking the youth who criticize the judiciary and the system.
Organic outrage followed. Abhijit Dipke, a social media handler of a political party thought smartly and created a satirical Instagram account called the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). It was meant purely as satire. Since the cockroach comment was trending in the news, people followed the CJP account on a whim.
Seeing its potential, the political party Dipke was associated with jumped it and took over the initiative. They hired media agencies and influencers to promote the account further by generating hype, curiosity and making it the "in thing." Consequently, more people followed, triggering a bandwagon effect. Soon, the follower count reached crores.
Then, the political think tank behind CJP concluded that they had enough support. They reasoned that if even 1% of their 2.5 crore followers turned up for a physical protest, they could topple the govt, or bring a huge shock at least. A massive buildup was engineered for Dipke’s homecoming to India, mimicking the historical hype of Gandhi’s return from South Africa.
They anticipated such a massive crowd that they expected Dipke to be welcomed by crores of people at the airport. Instead, nobody showed up. Nobody turned up at the protest site either. It was a massive disappointment for a party with 2.5 crore urban followers to be incapable of finding even 50 organic protestors.
To compensate, they brought in the same old compulsive protestors to fill the site, leftist student unions, LGBT groups, farmer leaders, and aadarsh musalmaan groups, but the movement failed to kick off.
Next, they found Sonam Wangchuk, a man with a relatively clean past, apparently no political inclinations, and a public image popularized by a movie (which wasn't actually based on his life, but worked anyway). They convinced him to go on a hunger strike.
The party behind the movement waited 15 to 17 days for Wangchuk to lose weight, ensuring he looked frail, weak, and barely surviving. Once he reached that state, they launched a massive Instagram and Facebook campaign to emotionally manipulate and guilt the masses into supporting the movement through him. To a certain extent, they have been successful.
I don't know if Sonam is aware of it or not, but knowingly or unknowingly, he has become the face of a manufacturd movement.
P.S. Dharmendra Pradhan should have been sacked. I have said this multiple times too. Why? Simply because he is incompetent, not because someone is sitting on a hunger strike demanding it. Wangchuk might be a sincere guy, but the people pulling the strings behind this movement are not. And trust me, if something happens to Wangchuk, these people will be the happiest because it gives them a tragedy they can capitalize on to reignite a dying movement.
Youth are anti-establishment by nature. It's basic science. Youth naturally gravitates toward rebellion because questioning existing structures becomes part of forming an independent identity.
The urge is less about detailed policy content and more about belonging, purpose, and feeling part of something larger than oneself. That is why generations repeatedly rally around symbols, slogans, and movements that become culturally "the thing" of their era.
Sometimes the cause is deeply thought through; sometimes it is romanticized and simplified. Figures like Che Guevara became global youth icons not because millions had carefully studied revolutionary economics or Latin American history, but because rebellion itself carries emotional appeal. A poster, a slogan, and a sense of standing against "the system" can become an identity.
That is why they tend to appropriate anything they feel can bring change, whether it is a song (e.g., Sadda Haq, ethe rakh), a movie (e.g., Rang De Basanti), a T-shirt (e.g., Che Guevara or Bob Marley), a singer (e.g., Sidhu Moosewala), a TV ad (e.g., Tata Tea Jaago Re), or a movement (e.g., India Against Corruption). This cockroach thing is the same. They feel it is going to bring some change.
They are in for disappointment and will soon lose interest after realizing that it is not a real movement, but just another page with the same propaganda posts they already see on other pages of a similar nature.
22 April shook the entire nation.
Innocent lives were taken after terrorists identified people by their religion. The women whose sindoor was wiped away were told, “Go and tell Modi.”
That was the biggest mistake the terrorists ever made. What they saw as India’s silence was actually a strategy unfolding… one that no one now dares to challenge.

#OperationSindoor is a resolve so powerful that terrorists and their handlers should not find even an inch of land to hide.
We remember the victims. We pray for strength and peace for their families. 🙏

Deeply hurt by the brutal killing of our young karyakarta, Trilochan Mahato in Balarampur,West Bengal. A young life full of possibilities was brutally taken out under state’s patronage. He was hanged on a tree just because his ideology differed from that of state sponsored goons.
A Madurai court today sentenced nine Tamil Nadu cops to death in the 2020 Sathankulam custodial deaths case, calling it “rarest of rare.”
On 19 Jun 2020 in Sathankulam, Thoothukudi, P. Jayaraj (60) was picked up for keeping his shop open past lockdown hours.
It was a petty violation, something that would normally attract a fine. Instead, he was taken to the police station and beaten. Word reached his son, J. Bennix (31), who came to the station.
When Bennix arrived and saw his father already assaulted, he protested and argued with the police. That confrontation became the turning point. Instead of de-escalating, the police turned on both of them with far greater intensity. What followed was not sporadic violence but sustained custodial torture. Through the night, both men were stripped and repeatedly beaten with lathis. Eyewitnesses later described continuous assault: blow after blow, hour after hour, targeting not just the limbs and back but also lathis forced into their rectums. The violence was methodical and prolonged, not a sudden burst of anger. Their blood was splattered across the station walls, and they were made to clean the floor of their own blood multiple times.
The next morning, they were taken to a govt hospital and, shockingly, declared “fit” for custody despite requiring changes of six lungis due to profuse rectal bleeding.
They were then produced before magistrate D. Saravanan, who remanded them to custody without examining their condition or speaking to them directly, citing COVID protocols. He reportedly stood on his balcony while police surrounded the injured men below and, without following basic safeguards against custodial abuse, signaled the police to take them away. The two were then sent to Kovilpatti sub-jail, about 100 km from Sathankulam. Both died within the next few days.
This wasn’t some distant, dark chapter from history. This happened in 2020, just a few years ago, out in the open, without fear of law, backlash, or consequence. And that’s what makes it worse.
Police brutality is routine, not an exception. For every case that shocks the nation, there are countless others that never surface. Many don’t report because they fear the very system meant to protect them. Social media occasionally forces attention, but justice shouldn’t depend on something going viral. Sadly, this will continue because governments are apathetic towards police reforms.
Hello @dm_vaishali,
Our land mutation case has been rejected by the CO Jandaha without any hearing.
Some person claimed that the land belongs to them without any document.
My family (extended one as well) has possession. Due to the ongoing land survey,
This happened December 2025. After this I raised a complaint on the Biharbhumi portal and I sent mail to the DM vaishali and Revenue department but nothing happened.
If needed, I can share all the details here as well.
