IMPORTANT — please share widely.

Me along with some MPs are documenting video evidence of police brutality against peaceful protestors in Delhi yesterday during the Jantar Mantar protests.

The purpose is to identify the officials who assaulted protestors, so that legal action can be taken against them.

If you filmed any part of it, please send it. Videos where the assaulting officer’s face is clearly visible are especially valuable since it makes it easier to file complaints against them and hold them accountable.

they can kill the network. they can't kill the crowd. phones pass encrypted messages hand to hand to hand over bluetooth — no internet, no towers, no servers. jammers don't even touch it.

Activist Amit Bhatnagar has been admitted to the district hospital on the 10th day of his hunger strike, while the protest against the ₹44,605-crore Ken-Betwa River Link Project has entered its 14th day.
Police in Madhya Pradesh have detained several protesters, with authorities stating that they were moved from the protest site due to rising water levels in the Barana River, which posed a safety risk.
The administration has also deployed police personnel outside the hospital. As Bhatnagar’s health remains under observation, the protest continues to raise important questions about the project and the concerns of those opposing it.

the ken betwa river link project is india's first river interlinking project. the idea is simple on paper; take water from the ken river in madhya pradesh and transfer it to the betwa river through a canal to irrigate the drought prone bundelkhand region

this is the BJP's development model in complete form. identify a resource > build infrastructure to extract or redirect it > give the contract to a connected corporate entity > clear the forest > displace the people > call it national importance > arrest whoever protests.

the daudhan dam that makes the entire project possible is being built inside the panna tiger reserve. not near it. inside it. 9000 hect dense forest inside a protected tiger habitat will be submerged. the panna tiger reserve was a conservation success story.

[Kawalpreet Kaur @kawalpreetdu]

Those describing today’s protest as the Biggest protests in recent history often overlook the anti-CAA demonstrations and the farmers’ movement, struggles that were built with intense labour, care, and sustained over longer periods facing violence, repression, and criminalisation.

I say this not out of bitterness, but because such framing risks erasing the struggles of minorities and marginalised communities who have historically carried the burden of resistance under this regime often without recognition. Minorities have repeatedly had to organise and fight their battles largely on their own, only to see their struggles later invisibilised.

Any formation that challenges this regime is significant, and politicising groups that have previously been depoliticised is an important development. Yet, when sections of the elite frame this as the biggest protest, it is important to remember the histories and struggles that came before it.

A 16-year-old first-time protester may not know this history, but many who have been part of these movements do.

[Prashant Pundir @kafkasbluebug]

“the left endlessly argues about ideology and does nothing” is such a convenient caricature. some of the most sustained organising in this country — among workers, farmers, students, adivasis, dalits and political prisoners — has been built and defended by left movements, often without cameras, celebrities or viral reels.

ideology is not the opposite of action; it is what tells you what you are fighting, who holds power, and whether your politics survives after the trending protest ends. asking those questions is not cynicism. confusing visibility with political work is.

“without revolutionary theory there can be no revolutionary movement,” Lenin wrote.

but apparently in 2026, asking what a movement’s ideology is, whose interests it serves, and where its politics leads is “cynicism.” the left doesn’t debate ideology because it prefers arguing to acting. we debate ideology because history has repeatedly shown that action without political direction can mobilise thousands and still leave the structures of power completely untouched. optimism is not ideology. and asking political questions is not the opposite of doing political work.

There is simmering anger at #JantarMantar. Students and young people have travelled by train, stayed overnight, and come to Delhi. The same anger was visible in the workers’ protests three months ago before they were brutally suppressed.

Unemployment is the biggest issue, paper leaks, the erosion of faith in education, and the broader failures of the Modi government have created a deep generational frustration. NEET became the trigger, not the cause. This anger doesn't belong to one hero or a campaign. Even if one expression of this anger fades, sooner another will emerge. The question is whether this discontent finds itself a political and electoral expression capable of defeating the BJP. One hopes it does.

Madhya Pradesh Police and the district administration on Sunday forcibly removed protesters and ended the 15-day-long satyagraha against the Ken-Betwa Link Project and other irrigation schemes in Chhatarpur district.

[shrishti @shristhikhanna]

Political movements are not above political evaluation. In fact, political evaluation is what differentiates movements from fandoms.
So asking who leads a movement, who it excludes, whose struggles it centres, whose struggles it renders invisible and what political programme it advances is not purity politics. It is politics itself. Just saying friends

@revathitweets No women police officers at time of event. Police men, are manhandling women, with the intent of hurting & malicious behaviour. This act to be condemned, with police, misusing the power on behalf of politicians.

This is exactly why you’ll find grown men glorifying their mothers’ sacrifices while having very little understanding of what those sacrifices actually cost them. I remember my aunt once telling me that leaving her job was one of the worst decisions she ever made yet her

[Blue🌊 @blueaflily]

how women only talk to daughters about their suffering and trauma needs to be studied. Sons live in ignorance is a bliss state throughout their lives.
