In this inverted world, A.N. Ray is the truly courageous judge for refusing to “bow down” to all those annoying critics of the Emergency when he wrote the majority opinion in the Habeas Corpus Case, and H.R. Khanna went astray by “bowing down” to popular sentiment.

[Gautam Bhatia @gautambhatia88]

A section of the Indian bar has invented a bizarre, inverted world, where a judge’s record of ruling *in favour* of a majoritarian political executive - the easiest thing for a judge to do is - is taken to be an epitome of great courage. It must be a fun world to live in.

The calls for an “Israel-like solution” in Kashmir are spiraling. Talk show hosts demand revenge. On Republic TV, Arnab Goswami says, “There needs to be a final solution.” When genocidal language becomes primetime rhetoric, it’s not just incitement—it’s infrastructure for mass violence.

Ktka is becoming a police state. Police threaten organisers of indoor meetings - film screenings on Palestine, meeting on #JusticeForSoujanya . Tomorrow it could be meeting against metro fare hike, meeting for trans rights etc. Raise your voices now

We demand Innovative Film Academy to rescind the decision to invite Israeli officials.

We condemn the involvement of educational institutes in a Film Festival that is hosting a Genocidal Nation.

If this #Maharashtra govt bill is passed, the police can enter your house, look for literature that can be used for "Unlawful activities", which means anything they say promoting "urban naxalism".

The #YoungIndiaReferendum2024 was held in over six state universities, affiliated colleges, and a central institute in Karnataka. Thousands of students polled in the referendum and have voted for education-employment, and rejected the divisive politics of the BJP-RSS!

To all teachers : Consider endorsing this statement in solidarity with the Muslim students’ right to choose to wear a hijab in the classroom - a question of women’s autonomy & agency, that does not compromise the integrity of education in any way.

One of the first Muslim women teachers of modern India, she started educating Dalit children in Phules' school. Jyotibai and Savitribai Phule along with Fatima Sheikh took charge of spreading education among the downtrodden communities.

The NEP also facilitates the saffronisation of education. In the current political climate, let us understand this policy so we can resist !

[AIPF Bengaluru @AIPFblr]

The National Education Policy will further aggravate class inequality and is extremely regressive. AIPF has arranged a workshop on NEP in Mysuru on 2/1/22.

We are living through times when communal violence and hatred against religious minorities is increasingly becoming the new normal in Karnataka. AIPF was part of a team that visited Belagavi in the wake of the brutal murder of Shri Arbaz Mulla.
