Is India's poverty decline a miracle or a mirage? While consumption rises, the wealth gap widens, and millions remain one crisis away from poverty. 'The equality visible in consumption is not visible in income and wealth,' writes Vikas Meshram. https://t.co/xrkqFpwI5Q #India
Is the Muslim woman’s agency being sacrificed for a political mirror? 'A movement that has no interest in her feminism will gladly take her anecdotes, her anger, and her biography' writes Pratyusha Pan. Whose interest is really served? https://t.co/S0ZvckBb2A #TheRift#Politics

A heartfelt message by a parent, K Sharad Haksar to Neha Bora.
“When I got married, I knew I wanted only one child. And in my heart, I hoped it would be a girl.
I was blessed with a daughter.
The first time I held her, I made her a silent promise. You will never have to share my time. You will never have to wait for my attention. Whatever I have, you will get all of it.
I had seen families with four or five children. Parents running from morning to night, and still some child was always left waiting. I also felt our country has too many people, and nature is paying for it. One child felt right. It felt responsible.
For years, I never questioned it.
Then this year, I saw Neha Bora.
She is 29, a PhD student at JNU, a theatre artist from Khatima, a small town in the hills of Uttarakhand. When the NEET paper leak happened, she sat down at Jantar Mantar for students she did not even know. Children who had studied for years. Parents who had spent their savings on coaching and still lost.
She did not eat for 23 days.
She was 66 kilos when she started. She lost more than 7. Near the end, doctors were taking her blood three or four times a day.
The night I read that, I could not sleep. I kept seeing my own daughter in her place. On a hot Delhi road. Thin. Tired. A doctor holding her wrist again. And I knew I would not be able to stand there and watch. I would have begged her to stop.
But Neha did not stop until the work was done. And when it was over, she said her body had forgotten how to eat. It had to learn again, like a baby. Even then, still weak, she went to Bihar to meet more than 600 students who had been arrested. She did not go home to rest. She went to the ones who had stood by her.
I am a dowser. Every day I work with energy. I have learned that anger is heavy. It burns out fast. Nobody can live on anger for 23 days without food. Only love can carry you that far.
Then I read that her father was in the Army, and the family kept moving from one posting to the next.
My wife's father was also in the Army. I never call him my father-in-law. To me, he is simply Papa. My wife studied in 13 schools. Thirteen first days. Thirteen times walking into a class where nobody knew her name. Thirteen goodbyes to friends she never saw again. Army children learn to smile, pack their bags and start again. Nobody asks them how much it hurts. I see that strength in my wife every day. I saw it in Neha too.
In Ranchi, a man threw ink on her face and called her anti-national. She said she had already faced pellets and lathis in Delhi. Ink would not scare her.
Ink washes off. In energy work, we say that what people throw at you only stays if you take it in. She seems to know this without ever holding a pendulum.
Her family did not agree with her. There were fights at home. But during the hunger strike, her mother came to Jantar Mantar.
I don't know what they said to each other. I don't need to. I am a parent. I know what a mother feels when she sees her child weak and thin on a road, and still standing. Every argument is forgotten in that moment. All that is left is: this is my child.
Neha said she has not spoken to her father yet.
I don't know him. But I am a father too, and I know how hard it is for men like us to say some things out loud. So if he cannot say it yet, let me say it for him, from Chennai.
Beta, we are proud of you. Now go and eat something properly.
Somewhere in all this, a thought came to me that I never expected. I wish I had one more daughter. One like Neha. This takes nothing away from my own daughter. She is my world. She always will be. But Neha made me ask myself a hard question. We spend our whole lives keeping our children safe and helping them get ahead. Do we ever teach them to look back at who is being left behind? And if one day they stand up for someone else, will we stand next to them as Neha's mother did? Or will we ask them to come home and stay quiet. Our job is to protect that light, even when it scares us.
Can bureaucrats be held personally liable for the state’s 'concocted' narratives of detention? The Allahabad HC thinks so. 'Bureaucrats remain servants of the sovereign people, not unconstrained wielders of state power,' writes Shafeeq R. Mahajir. https://t.co/umjS4YKSgf
Allahabad HC orders UP police to consider mandating audio-video recording of Section 180 BNSS witness statements to curb forced, fabricated testimonies. "This will undoubtedly check the most blatant misuse of penal laws" writes Sanjeev Sirohi. https://t.co/3MqCLTkLMC #Justice
@RailwaySeva I am Lingampally, Telangana railway station to parcel a bike to Raxaul, Bihar by a train number 17433 which is scheduled to be on Monday.
The staff on the parcel counter refusing just because I don't have a reservation ticket.
Is that necessary to have a ticket?
PAPER LEAKS ARE THE SYMPTOM, NTA IS THE DISEASE!
This time, apparently, you don’t even need a paper leak.
Typo errors. Translation errors. Grammatical errors. Factual errors. Repeated questions.
And the result? THREE UGC-NET PAPERS CANCELLED: ENGLISH, COMMERCE AND SOCIOLOGY!
@NTA_Exams has failed students yet again! NTA should be abolished!!
The Indian democracy. A Muslim driver allegedly lynched to death by Kanwariyas. And the Indian state is making sure that they are given a heroes welcome everyone
Thank you @neha_aisa for showing such solid courage 👏
Your anshan, sacrifices, and fight against this undemocratic government will always set a precedent and inspire the youth to come out to the streets for their rights and safeguard the Constitution!
They thought we were passive. We proved we are the power. ⚡
Shoutout to Gen Z for waking up the democratic consciousness and showing what true unity looks like.
Statement
We condemn the illegal police crackdown against Junaid bhai by the UP Police. We’ve been in regular touch with him and providing all necessary help from day 1. We urge the @Uppolice to stop this illegal, arbitrary, inhumane crackdown against Junaid’s family and release them IMMEDIATELY.
You are the one who has harmed the future of our youth the most.
You allowed and encouraged the total capture and destruction of our education system - and protected every person responsible for it.
The students’ demands are clear:
1. Sack Dharmendra Pradhan.
2. Apologise to the students.
3. Take action against those who assaulted them.
आपने ही हमारे युवाओं के भविष्य को सबसे ज़्यादा नुकसान पहुंचाया है।
आपने न सिर्फ हमारी education system पर पूरा कब्ज़ा होने और उसे बर्बाद होने दिया, उसे बढ़ावा भी दिया - और इसके ज़िम्मेदार हर व्यक्ति को संरक्षण दिया।
छात्रों की मांगें साफ़ हैं:
1. धर्मेंद्र प्रधान को पद से हटाएं।
2. छात्रों से माफ़ी मांगे।
3. छात्रों के साथ हिंसा करने वालों के ख़िलाफ़ कार्रवाई करें।
We witnessed the duality of our democracy today: alive in the voices of the youth, but crushed by gvt. might moments later. Lathi-charging innocent students for simply demanding a fair education system is deeply shameful. When asking for justice become a crime? #संसद_मार्च
