Finally realised my childhood dream of making my drawings move. Drawing each element in each frame by hand and moving them inch by inch, seeing them come to life was an experience I can't put into words. Made even more special by my mummy @AmitaGarima lending her voice to it. 😊

In Assam

Muslim woman forced to chant JAI Shri RAM by Hindutva scum

"Say it properly,Jai Shri Ram,Say it loud,I can't hear you"

How is making other chant JSR make your religion any good?

This is what Inferiority Complex looks like,this is how Muslims are harassed in India.

A 27-year-old woman, the sole breadwinner of her family, now lies in pain with burns on her chest, stomach, and thighs. Her first fear wasn't the pain. It was, "Who will feed my family now?"

She was selling momos on a roadside in Jaipur to support her entire family. According to her statement, during a VIP movement, police allegedly overturned or pushed her cart, causing boiling water to spill onto her body and leaving her severely burnt.

When a poor woman's body becomes collateral damage in the name of VIP movement, we've failed as a society.

If this had happened to someone powerful, there would be immediate suspensions, inquiries, compensation, and nonstop media coverage. But when the victim is a street vendor, her pain becomes just another headline.

She deserves free medical treatment, financial compensation for her injuries and lost income, and a fair investigation that establishes accountability.

A VIP convoy passed in minutes. The scars she carries may last a lifetime.

A road can be cleared without destroying a life.

[POL @CptoneP]

The faith of people over the police has completely gone now.

She's just 27 girl who's unmarried. The police threw boiling water ruining her entire life now. Her hand and one breast have got burnt.

Don't test the patience of your citizens, it will break you apart, system !! 🥲

Hindutva Scum calls for killing of a judge who sent 7 criminals to jail for lynching a Muslim

Instead of arresting the scum,MHA
Cyber Cell sent me a notice to remove the video or face action

Only in India,a criminal goes scot free while the whistleblower faces intimidation

Here are a few videos of @anjanaomkashyap and ABVP member Shreyansh. Even the audience are fixed to target the opposition.
The same guy is seen on Rubika Liyaquat, Amish Devgan and India TV debates too..

12 साल के तौफीक को 10 लोगों ने मिलकर मॉब लिंचिंग कर दी। पहले पत्थर से सिर कुचला, फिर धड़ अलग किया और बाकी शरीर के ज़ख्मों पर तेज़ाब छिड़क दिया।

सीरिया-फ़िलिस्तीन के बाद हम सबसे मज़लूम क़ौम बनते जा रहे हैं, जिसकी चर्चा तक नहीं होती।

I have a VOTER ID card, but NO, it is not proof of citizenship.
I have a AADHAR card but NO, it is not proof of citizenship
I have a PAN Card, but NO, it is not proof of citizenship.
I have a PASSPORT but NO, it is not proof of citizenship.
So who will give me a CITIZENSHIP CERTIFICATE? A govt bureaucrat?
My question is simple: is the problem with the citizen, or with the Mai Baap State itself?😡

[Saayoni Ghosh @sayani06]

The Bulldozer action at Jadavpur Station road is heartbreaking & unjust. The hawkers eviction drive across the state has deprived thousands of people from their source of income. Eviction without prior notice is unfair and complete silence on plans of relocation raises serious questions about the intentions of the current government towards the poor and marginalised.
