What if I tell you, during the UPA Government Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh and home minister P. Chidambaram had the option to brutally detain the likes of Anna Hazare, Arvind Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi and Prashant Bhushan and the UPA had the option to cut the Lokpal protest by deploying the Delhi Police, RAF, and the anti-riot force at Jantar Mantar, and they had the option to use tear gas, water cannons, yet they still choose not to. They really did believe in a citizen's right to protest.
No matter what you say, UPA Government never made India feel like anything less than a democracy. Let that sink in.
All these years the BJP controlled the narrative through mainstream media and WhatsApp.
But Instagram is a different battlefield. Gen Z has used it to question, mock and challenge political propaganda in ways that are far harder to control. And now Gen Alpha is coming of age online.
Restrictions on minors may sound reasonable on paper in the name of online safety. But it is fair to ask whether there is another motive too: stopping Gen Alpha from doing what Gen Z did. Even 15 and 16-year-olds are openly mocking the Prime Minister and those in power.
If the Centre is genuinely concerned about young people online, it should focus on making the internet safer for them. Start by cracking down on accounts that harass and abuse girls online, not by silencing an entire generation.
Nationality isn’t an achievement. It’s an accident of birth. Being proud of it is as strange as being proud that you were born on a Tuesday rather than a Friday.
@AndyDufran28194 The same Indians who made propaganda films against Kerala for cheap votes and treats the state like a pariah. Why should we care what they think. Screw them. We don't need to take anything for the team.
15-year-old girl used abusive language.
Narendra Modi got such a big cultural shock, he made a video about it.
15-year-old girl got molested in Jamui.
Narendra Modi hasn't even tweeted about it.
What happened in Jamui, Bihar happens everyday in BJP ruled states. The toxic misogynist BJP culture where predators hunt in disguise as “Anti Romeo” squads has been promoted since 2014. Fake degrees, fake yogis & fake dharma - sick!
It doesn’t produce top minds; it produces corporate slaves who can work with machines without actually using minds. Name one Nobel Prize winner from IIT? JNU has.
& again, only a slave mentality makes you believe that brutality is expected. Why? Why does it have to be brutal?
Either arrogance has completely taken over BJP or they have no idea how terrible this looks while 50 lakh people across Bihar are struggling through devastating floods. 🤡🤦♂️
Conditional citizenship in its most naked form. A sitting Chief Minister is turning an election into a loyalty test, threatening Muslims to vote BJP if they want to stay with govt.
The state is not a party you choose to stay with. It is constitutionally bound to stay with you.
