#StoryAlert 🚨
Surendra Gadling’s bail application has become a Kafkaesque file in the Supreme Court. It appears on the cause list, only to vanish. It is mentioned, only to be deferred. It is scheduled, only to be adjourned. The judge presiding over it, Justice M.M. Sundresh, has turned the very act of not hearing into a form of adjudication. A 🧵.

If asked about Justice Sanjiv Khanna’s contributions during his six-month tenure as Chief Justice of India, I would emphasise his efforts to counter majoritarianism. Notably, he halted surveys of mosques that violated the Places of Worship Act......

Tihar Jails are so efficient with RTI requests.
For the Allahabad High Court, I got a response after so many months and only after I did so many call follow ups.
These two points from a bail order of the J&K High Court is enough to puncture the State’s “copy-paste” versions in UAPA cases. Do read.

One day, I’ll be standing in an auditorium full of undergrads teaching them about Nazism and Zionism under the same module.
I’ll show them a documentary about May 26th 2024 - when Israel dropped several 2 thousand ton bombs on sleeping refugees in a tent, the students will lament on how the world could possibly remain silent if we had video footage from months of similar carnage.
We’ll sociologically analyze how global consent and complicity is manufactured through propaganda, and then students will be asked to write a 1000 word essay on the fake beheaded babies story.
And this is how history simply repeats itself, unless the cycle is broken by a few brave souls.
Are you on of them?

Anyone who knows the International Committee of the Red Cross knows that their official policy is to never speak out (https://t.co/pGX2wTwQKs)
Which is why such a statement by the ICRC president is so exceptional, and why you should listen.
Here's what she says:
"The things I saw [in the European Gaza hospital] is beyond anything that anyone should be in a position to described.
What shocked me the most were the children, with atrocious injuries and at the same time having lost their parents with no-one looking after them.
We are facing a situation here that will not be healed by sending in more trucks. We need to provide protection to the civilians in Gaza, to the women and children, to the elderly people that I saw today that have nowhere to go...
We have to find solutions to this. We can't turn away from what is evidently a moral failure in the face of the international community."
During World War II, the Nazis established the Warsaw ghetto in Poland. The ghetto was a place where the Nazis separated Jews from the world. Around 460,000 of them lived on a small piece of land.
The Nazis didn't supply the Jews within the ghetto with enough food, leading to their starvation. There were no convenient healthcare services. Many of the ghetto inhabitants were forced to work in labor camps under harsh conditions.
The Jews were subjected to continuous violence and were murdered in mass shootings.
All of these factors led to the establishment of the armed resistance in the ghetto to fight for their freedom. All of us remember the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in April 1943, which was considered the most significant revolt by Jews during World War II. I believe the members of the Jewish world honor those fighters who fought for their freedom.
In 1948, the state of Israel was declared. Lord Balfour has assigned the land of Palestine as a home to the Jewish people. Many thousands of Jews moved to the new land and established their new state by fighting with the landowners and killing them. Now, the land of Palestine contained the state of Israel added to the Palestinians.
In 1967, during the six-day war, the Gaza Strip was occupied by the Israeli forces. This occupation has led to the rise of more conflicts within the region.
Since then, the people of Gaza have confronted harsh living conditions.
There were high levels of poverty and unemployment. They faced challenges accessing essential resources like clean water, electricity, and healthcare. Israel had complete control of Gaza's borders, airspace, and territorial waters.
In the year 2007, Israel established a tighter blockade around Gaza, isolating it from the rest of the world. The UN described the living conditions in Gaza as deteriorating further and faster than predicted.
In 1987, after around 40 years of Israeli occupation, the Hamas movement was established. It was considered an "armed resistance," just like the brave Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto.
It was clear that the Warsaw resistance fought the Nazis directly. Israel, on the other hand, has established many "Kibbutz," or settlements, surrounding the strip of Gaza, making its people the first line of defense against any violence that would come out of Gaza. Furthermore, Israel surrounded Gaza with a vast wall.
Now, many people want us to condemn Hamas for its fight for freedom. Why has no one condemned the Warsaw Ghetto fighters' violence against the Nazis?
No human would ever support the hurting—not the killing—of a woman, child, or elder. That is what we have been taught in Islam.
I can tell that Hamas may have done wrong when they kidnapped women and elders. The world, on the other hand, condemns all of Hamas acts for being armed resistance.
But no one has condemned the new Nazis of Israel for killing more than 3000 children, more than 1000 women, and more than 8000 civilians as a whole. That looks like double standards, right?
Suppose the Warsaw Ghetto people suffered for many years. In that case, the Palestinians have been suffering occupation, stealing their lands, and being moved from their houses, adding to the harsh life conditions that resulted from occupation for more than 70 years. And it is always the Palestinians who are wrong.
Please stop being double-faced. Stop being hypocrites. Earn knowledge from different resources. Don't depend on your mainstream media. Finally, don't support the Nazis, who think they are always right for being themselves. Those Nazis will spread to the entire world later on.
