Most Indians don't know this, but the Dreze family are literally academic royalty in Belgium.

Jean's brother the late Xavier Dreze was a highly regarded Marketing professor at UCLA's Anderson School of Management. He was one of the very very few who could do both modeling and consumer behavior research. He died very young at age 48. His obituary says he was a true polymath with multiple academic and sporting talents.

Jean's father the late Jacques Dreze was an economist at the Université Catholique de Louvain. He was a highly regarded economist and the first president of the European Economic Association. He has collaborated with nobel laureates Robert Aumann and Franco Modigliani and his publication record is comparable with the best in the field.

Jean Dreze could have had a very cushy life with his family legacy, white skin and European passport. Even in India, he could have been a social butterfly flitting in and out of five star hotels and running think tanks funded hy veated interests. Instead, he took Indian citizenship, learnt Hindi and roughs it out in rural Jharkhand. He designed many schemes and his footprint is all over Indian economic policy.

You may like him or hate him. But Jean Dreze is more Indian than anyone who was born Indian, including you and me. He chose to be Indian. And he has dedicated his life to India.

Think of this the next time some illiterate journalist asks "Who is Jean Dreze?"

Where is @harshdelhise???

@DelhiPolice has made a journalist disappear, and his whereabouts have been unknown for over 48 hours!

AMPLIFY THIS EVERYWHERE until his whereabouts are known!

From the walls of Jamia, during CAA NRC whoch stands true even today.
you cannot defeat the truth. ❤️

Dr Manmohan Singh on being shown black flags during a JNU protest in 2005 quoted Voltaire: “I may disagree with what you say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it.”
That’s the difference education brings to one’s mindset.

He's getting the recognition and respect he deserves. Obviously, he was, is, and will always be respected and honoured. But beyond that, I want y'all to see this and listen carefully. Fuck capitalism. Fuck Ambani , Fuck Adani , Fuck Billionaires millionaires, Fuck Wealthy Elites

Why’s anyone surprised ?

Dilli Pulice is the same force that stood beside a Kapil Mishra giving dire warnings & call for violence but arrested Umar Khalid under draconian laws for giving a speech for peaceful protests, 1200 kms away.

Umar, still in jail.
Kapil, Law Minister.

[surviving @leftitcita]

realest reaction ive seen

[Parth MN @parthpunter]

The image of Neha Bora running with fire in the eyes has been the defining image of the protest so far.

Neha's conduct has been inspiring, and it's great to see Rahul and Priyanka acknowledge that.

[bundalbaaz @bolnabey]

Forgetting the CAA-NRC is our failure as a people. Everything we know about being on the streets and having a language against this govt is from the courageous people who were up against unbounded barbarity of state and cruelty of fellow citizens. Never seen before or since.

[s @yoongienthusias]

extremely irritating and entitled crowd, this is not about you, this is about the people stop trying to main character this. Also atleast get a little funnier if you are planning to be edgy

Case Name: Rahul Gandhi vs. Election Commissionn.

A Case has been filed in the Supreme Court against the Election Commission!
Rahul Gandhi is the lead petitioner!

[._. @awolaxolotl]

a buddhist monk, a hijabi girl, a bihari student, a queer person, a delhi local, a gurudwara prabandhak, an old grandpa, a young journalist...nothing worth saving in this country is a monolith, and that's true for its democracy as well.

[komolika @Ichanpyaari]

the women shaming neha bora are allowed to open their fucking mouths because women like neha fought for their rights. feminism gave you a voice, not a licence to be a misogynistic cunt.

[Radhika Ramaseshan @Radrama]

The difference is Neha Bora is focused and undistracted. The CJP trio wallows in celebrityhood. Nothing else explains their enthusiasm to attend a godi media conclave a day before the protests when they should be in Delhi strategizing. Unsuited for the fight

[waii the witch 🏳️‍⚧️🚩🏴 @waiwaicutiepie]

The Neha Bora doppelganger switch out was so fucking cool holy shit I am fangirling

[lady don @cancel_orange2]

Today, we remember Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam, Sanjiv Bhatt , Gauri Lankesh, Stan Swamy and each and every political prisoners who were falsely jailed & intentionally killed by this fascist tyranny regime to save their seats & spreading bullshit propaganda. I hope for justice

[k @kirawrian]

let it be known that delhi police kidnapped disha student union member aranya, brutally assaulted her, lied about her whereabouts while she remained missing for five hours at the night only for her to be found bruised up at the very same police station they denied she was at

[komolika @Ichanpyaari]

love how strategically neha bora is picking different spaces to protest instead of obsessing over jantar mantar or media coverage. theyʼre giving “jahan hum khade honge, vahin jantar mantar bana denge” energy
