What are the farmer protests? Agricultural privatization which allows corporations to set any price they want, forcing farmers to sell their crops at a low balled price. What’s next? Farmers can’t afford their lands & end up selling their land to corporations. #NoFarmersNoFood
The problem with most people in this country is that they take offence at distasteful stupidity (aazadi 2014 k baad mili) but they ignore hate speech and incitement to violence (repeat 2002/ 1984). This is why we are where we are.
This is #VishalJood ! He attacked Sikhs in #Australia ! He was charged and deported to India.
He received a heroes welcome in India! It seems that those who attack Sikhs become heroes ! This is a huge insult to all Sikhs & justice system! Absolute disgrace !

as the farmers protest continues in india a govt official is caught on camera telling police to “crack their heads”. the images of those attacked is horrific. yet another brutal display of pre-planned state violence against protesters.
Central Sikh Museum and North Entrance riddled with bullet holes
Like the Sikh reference library the Central Sikh Museum was looted also
Rare manuscripts, janamsakhis, hukamnamas from our Gurus, primary court records of the Sikh empire, and more was stolen
#NeverForget1984
Absolutely shocked to see my @Facebook account restricted especially as we are dealing with the #COVID19 relief in #India.
I’ve not committed any crime etc so am surprised at this action by Facebook ! @fbnewsroom @MarkZuckerbelg
so this happened 🥲 tonight i performed ‘broken english’ on @fallontonight 😭♥️🤗🙊🥰 written for my parents and all the working class immigrant families of brampton and across the world who inspired this piece.
The situation in India is critical, its more than just a disaster, its murder.
The international community must do all that it can in solidarity to help
i lit a candle in my art for those challenged by the second wave of #Covid19 in #India.
with deaths rising and no care from the government, its okay so long as the rich stay rich, and the poor stay poor.
a nation really living to the slogan of “bleed blue”...
heartbroken at seeing the images and stories coming out of india as people have been left to fend for themselves. this is a colossal failure of governance.
for media reporting on #Indianapolis shooting: do not fuck this up. too often the accounts of immigrant communities are quickly passed over.
the family members of victims are on twitter rn telling you what happened. include their accounts & perspectives. reach out to sikh orgs.
Congratulations @taapsee & @anubhavsinha for the well deserved awards & a #Thappad for those who seek to hound you for your willingness to stand up & be counted.
Today, farmers will burn copies of the 3 Farm Laws to 'demonstrate their anger against the government’s refusal to accept their legitimate demands'; as a part of Holika Dahan -
a pyre lighting ritual depicting the victory of good over evil.
#BurnFarmLawsOnHoli
The 1000s of murderers who committed the #1984SikhGenocide simply melted back into society. They got away with murder because the public let them ! How can this be called a civilised society ? The people who hid these murderers are equally guilty !
