[Tax The Top India @TaxTheTopIndia]

"There is no proposal under consideration of the Government for imposition of a wealth tax," says Government of India. India's share of world's extreme poor is higher than its share of the world population.

[Fight Inequality Alliance- India @fia_india]

The Covid-19, rising inequality and galloping food prices could push as many as 263 million people across countries into extreme poverty in 2022, reversing decades of progress. This is the equivalent of one million people every 33 hours.

Free all political prisoners! Let them breathe. Let everyone live. Everyone in this world has the right to live in peace and without fear. Make it a better world. Such injustice is sickening. None can breathe in an unjust world.

Immense respect and admiration for @free_thinker who stands by @zoo_bear courageously! When the going gets tough, the tough get going. We are immensely lucky to know these heroes.

[Faye DSouza @fayedsouza]

The arrest of @zoo_bear is another attempt to intimidate and silence the media. This sort of intimidation should have no place in a democracy. Release @zoo_bear

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

The arrest of Mohammed Zubair, co-founder of
@AltNews - an independent fact checking website, for a 2018 satirical tweet shows the danger facing human rights defenders has reached a crisis point in India.

[Aamir Aziz @AamirAzizJmi]

Release zubair Immediately, Unconditionally!

Congratulations @MRitwika.

[Siddharth @svaradarajan]

This is a big honour, richly deserved, for @MRitwika, whose reporting on child trafficking in @TheWireScience in collaboration with @FullerProject has won the prestigious Lorenzo Natali Grand Prize.

The Wire family is thrilled.

#IStandWithZubair - if you ever were looking for a patriot he is one. @free_thinker, you and @zoo_bear do us proud.

An understanding of existing norms and beliefs regarding education and pedagogy is crucial before embarking on reforms.

[Subir Shukla @subirshukla]

A common notion in educational improvement is: 'If people know the right thing, they'll start doing it.' (e.g. better pedagogy). Similarly, 'if people have the right things they'll start using them.' (e.g. better textbooks or assessment). We're missing something here, aren't we?

Meanwhile this from Ashutosh Rana, came in on my WA

A lesson in how to answer a cheeky question with oodles of wit, common sense, lashings of poetry, delivered with firm conviction, with a smile and with so so much style

Brilliant
Do watch

[Swati K. @mynameswatik]

I would prefer a PM who would rather chill in a club instead of planning a pogrom every other day. 🤷‍♀️

[Savvy_SM @savvys19]

also WTF do Indians settled abroad want Modi to win elections in 2024?

Are they planning to come back to India, work in India, live in india, bring their children up in India? WHAT???

[Anjela Taneja @anjela_taneja]

Anyone knows how one can find a compilation of GOs issued for the regulation of private schools during the pandemic?

Dipping the toes in the water to decide if this is worth bothering trying to do. We had put a consultant on this but didn't get anything usable. Any suggestions?

[Anushree @AnushreeJairath]

Every bloody media channel and every politician needs to talk about this. This should be headline or the breaking news.

[Ankit Vyas @ankitvfk]

@MariyaS87 Thank you for writing this and sharing your experience and that of your colleagues. Such behaviour needs to be called out.
