The Prime Minister made a reel saying he “forgives” the students for their actions and mistakes.

Forgives them for what? For asking for their rights? For demanding fairness?

A true leader would apologize to the students for allowing the police to beat them-not expect an apology from them.

That is leadership. That is democracy.

The misuse of criminal machinery against Ruchika Singh is unacceptable. Profanity does not attract criminal case. 50% of Lok Sabha MPs have criminal cases against them, close to 100 MPs in the BJP. The Police can focus their energy towards them, not a 25-year old! Harassment of the young must STOP immediately!

The Modi govt & state govts under BJP are still harassing & victimising the youth who peacefully protested across the country, especially Muslims. They are also harassing those who criticised Modi during the protests.
This will give rise to more anger & more protests against them

An expected outcome of the SIR tained election: The BJP won a massive majority just a few months back and already seems to have lost its honeymoon period in Bengal.

Absolutely massive crowd for the paper leaks protest today. Police it seems had no knowledge or control of the situation.

Meet Pralhad Joshi, India's new Education Minister.

When Indian students were trapped in war-torn Ukraine, Pralhad Joshi took the opportunity not to sympathise with them, but to question their merit. He claimed that 90% of students were studying medicine abroad because they could not clear examinations in India.

Who in their wildest dreams can imagine that this man will help the students of India or create opportunities for them? Apparently, only Narendra Modi.

One disaster replaced by another. The face has changed, but the government's contempt for students remains the same.

पुलिस से निवेदन है कि इस व्यक्त के खिलाफ तत्काल कार्रवाई सुनिश्चित करें।

No one is talking about this: If thousands of police personnel, CRPF, RPF and ITBP jawans could be deployed overnight at Jantar Mantar, why couldn’t same urgency be shown in Manipur?

Distance was never real obstacle. The pain, fear and cries of innocent people in Manipur deserved same swift response and attention.

India just gave the whole internet a free lesson on the power of FOSS (Free and open-source software).

The Home Ministry's cybercrime unit ordered GitHub to delete BitChat. Three hour deadline. Comply or face legal action.

Here's the problem with that plan.

BitChat runs on pure Bluetooth mesh. No internet. No SIM. No phone number. No central server. Protesters started using it precisely because the government kept shutting the internet off, and it just kept working.

You cannot delete an app that's already living on people's phones and passing messages device to device.

And the source code? Open source. Within hours it was mirrored to a decentralized platform. Every person who copies it becomes another node the order can't reach.

This is the whole point of self custody thinking, applied to communication instead of money.

You can serve a takedown to a company. There's a CEO, an office, a legal team, a single point of pressure.

You cannot serve a takedown to a network that nobody owns.

India didn't kill BitChat. It ran a live demo of why unkillable infrastructure exists.

Imagine, you spend thousands of crores over a decade to build an image as a strong leader with the help of PR and Media, spend even more to demean Opposition leader and then in mass protest, youngsters call you “Chappan inch ka Chhota Bandar”
