@louisetillin Many thanks @louisetillin. It was a pleasure to speak with you, not in the least because it was a timely reminder to myself of what brought me to the PhD and continues to inspire my research, as I wind down the process.

Good time to re-up the #AadhaarFail map showing the extent of Aadhaar-enabled exclusions and deaths.

Note, map is from 2018. Extent of Aadhaar terror has only grown in recent years so scale of exclusions likely to much higher today.

@kunalone @JharkhandJanad1 @goacm @HemantSorenJMM @Coll_NorthGoa @jharkhand181 @smitagnair @DrPramodPSawant @amyanand @_160bpm @dc_sahibganj Thanks @kunalone. Request that the database of registered workers be made public so that workers can be sure they are on the lists/accounted for. Long wait time needs concrete assurances through transparency+info dissemination to renew patience+faith of distressed workers.

@JharkhandJanad1 @goacm @HemantSorenJMM @kunalone @Coll_NorthGoa @jharkhand181 @smitagnair @DrPramodPSawant @amyanand @_160bpm @dc_sahibganj @kunalone what is the procedure to ensure receipt of SMS to board the Shramik Special trains? These workers have registered a month ago at the @Coll_NorthGoa but have not received any intimation since. They are without work and distressed. Please ensure speedy action @goacm

12 migrant labourers walking home charged by #Jharkhand police! https://t.co/hEPIgntnUZ @DCEastSinghbhum @JharkhandCMO @HemantSorenJMM take responsibility for what is happening in your state! Drop charges + pay compensation for the distress/costs caused to them. @JharkhandJanad1

1/3 Short thread: Hunger strikes again in Jharkhand (Hesatu village, Latehar): Dalit family, no land, no ration card, no food in the house. Eight children, all famished - one of them, Nimani (right), fell unconscious and died last evening.

#Justice4Teltumbde a scholar, public intellectual, human rights activist, and safe-keeper of the Indian conscience.

[Yogendra Yadav @_YogendraYadav]

A life-long believer in non-violence has been arrested on absolutely false charges and booked under a law meant for terrorists.
I wonder how would those police officers & judges, who are working hard to keep Dr. Teltumbde in jail, answer their own conscience

The sheer apathy of the state meant to protect it's people, is enraging. Repeating a lie doesn't make it the truth! The facts are in plain sight. @PiyushGoyal @PiyushGoyalOffc @PMOIndia

Cash transfers can help many during the #Covid19 crisis.

But rural banking is under immense pressure: accessing banks & BCs is difficult, use of digital systems are low, Aadhaar payments are prone to failures.

Stress on banks could increase after lockdown.

Are we prepared?

[Vanita Leah Falcao @VaniLeah]

@Coll_NorthGoa your urgent attention needed. Alongside help with food and rations, request your intervention to prevent violation of #MHA orders @goacm @DrPramodPSawant

[Jharkhand Janadhikar Mahasabha @JharkhandJanad1]

The Adivasi girls were made to tender their resignation on 4 May on the pretext that it was essential if they wanted to go back to their village. Yet to be paid April's wages. Food supplies almost over. Need immediate ration & groceries & clarity on coming back. @HemantSorenJMM

Posting a day late, in line with the theme of the article! Chronic delays plague the implementation of the #PMMVY, a govt maternity cash transfer. #TheTelegraph rightly edited the title to highlight that it's a matter of healthcare, and justice.
