24 questions. 3 hearings. Zero apologies.

They asked him - “Do you feel remorse?” No.

“Are you sorry?” No.

“Apologise and this disappears.” Still no.

Because Article 19(1)(a) wasn’t written so artists could fold it up and hand it back the moment a powerful politician gets uncomfortable with satire.

Kunal Kamra has challenged the government’s unconstitutional Fact-Check Unit in court, challenged the Sahyog portal, and now he’s standing in their own legislature, refusing to bend.

Youth of India, this is your role model. Not the ones on billboards.

What other artist in this country is holding the line right now?

[Revathi @revathitweets]

IT TAKES A LOT TO BE REVATHI…!!!

While the whole country is celebrating the landmark judgement of death penalty for the NINE policemen in the Santhanakulam custodial torture and murder of Jeyaraj and Bennix, you should know about Revathi.

Revathi was a constable in Santhanakulam police station in 2020 when the gruesome incident took place. She was the key witness and the sole reason for all the arrogant officers getting punished today.

The police men involved in the brutality were all big men, Revathi was a small time constable. But she stood unperturbed.

When Magistrate Bharathidasan, who initially investigated this case, arrived at the Santhanakulam police station he had no clue that constable Revathi will help close the case.

"Sir, I will tell you everything, every detail, the truth that is being hidden. But I am the mother of two young girls... can you guarantee the safety of my children and my job?", she had asked the magistrate.

Revathi was on night duty when the cruel incident took place. She witnessed the brutality being inflicted on Jeyaraj and Bennix and narrated every single detail.

She told how SI Balakrishnan, inspector Sridhar and SI Ragukanes, kept beating the father and son with whatever they found, and how they also stomped on their private parts with their shoes.

She remembered their screams. She saw how the officers took pause only to sip alcohol while the victims withered in pain.

When the father and son were semi-conscious, unable to bear it, Revathi asked Jayaraj if he needed anything. She gave him coffee which the officials spilt it immediately.

Revathi couldn’t stand the brutality but being a woman constable there was only so much she could do. She then offered water to the victims.

The so called policemen then stripped Bennix naked, tied his hands and legs separately, and beat him up. They did the same to Jeyaraj. Revathi couldn’t bear the pain of their screams, she left the place.

According to the postmortem report, their entire back was skinned, iron rods were inserted and they bled from their rectums.

When the case was being discussed by the media, when even the CM of Tamil Nadu tried to brush it away, Revathi knew the truth.

The police officials, cleaned up the station of any DNA evidences, erased the CCTV footage and warned everyone to shut-up and not try to become heroes.

But Revathi didn’t just narrate the entire ordeal in exact detail…she even helped the investigating officials obtain other crucial information.

Despite everything being cleaned, Revathi gathered DNA of the victims in crevices of the walls and floors, on furniture and other objects.

She was questioned, threatened, intimidated, bribed and even abused. She stood by justice. She had to go against her colleagues for justice of comman man.

In the time when police force is often looked upon with reasonable suspicion, there are people in uniform like Revathi.

Today court could pronounce death sentence to nine police officers - only because one woman decided she will stand by truth!

Kudos to Revathi, an amazing woman and an absolutely fabulous police officer.

The world is a better place because of her courage.
Salute ma’am 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Nepal faced a major environmental crisis in the 1970s as forests were degraded by grazing and fuelwood harvesting. After a 1993 law handed forest management to local communities, forest cover rebounded dramatically, rising from about 26% in 1992 to 45% in 2016 through community-led protection and natural regeneration.

Do you know #Pangolins are the second most trafficked mammal on planet. Unharmful & shy but still millions are hunted & trafficked across Asia & Africa. All eight species of them are under threat for their use in medicines. It is #WorldPangolinDay for raising awareness.

They are Ant eaters & important part of ecosystem. Indian pangolin is found across India & now endengered. Scales are used in traditional medicines mistakenly for ailments & reducing impotency. Huge market in China & SE Asia.

In recent years our teams has busted multiple pangolin scale smuggling rackets - with convictions and jail terms in the end.

Do you know what it is called in your local language.

This is one of the most progressive pieces of legislation brought in by any state in recent history. Shouldn’t the mainstream media be discussing this? Talking of reforms centred around women, this is that.👇 https://t.co/yJuoKMps2R

Gentle reminder that Madhya Pradesh government spent 100 million Indian rupees from public funds to print medical texts books in Hindi language for MBBS course which not a single student bought, or wrote their exams in. There is no hope for this country.

ASG: Investigators are terribly handicapped

J Bhuyan: You can't act like a crook, you have to act within 4 corners of law. I observed in one court proceedings, you have registered about 5000 ECIRs. Conviction is less than 10...That's why we insist improve your investigation, witnesses...we are talking about liberty of people. We are concerned about ED's image also. At the end of 5-6 years of judicial custody, if people are acquitted, who will pay for this

ASG: There are very few acquittals...in case of influential people...

In a remote MP village, a NEET topper, a filmmaker, two journalists & more built a school, a dispensary, and a better life.

Until right-wing mobs attacked them.

And the police bulldozed everything.

We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.

An ode to libraries, reading, democracy & freedom of speech.
When Finland wanted to commemorate its 100 years of independence - citizens & leaders didn't settle for another statue or vanity project. Instead the City of Helsinki & the Finnish national government pumped-in about 100 million euros to gift citizens a stunning new-age library, bang opposite to the National Parliament.
But Oodi isn't just a library - it's a living breathing community space with just a third of the (massive) area used for storing books. The rest is about meetings, events, cinema, a recording studio, a gallery and a cafe.
What's more - it's totally open - even a foreign tourist like me could enter, sit, study, browse...no questions asked.
At a time when Whatsapp University is eating into the core of our learning system - this could be the right way to spend 1000 crore rupees.
