I watched this video of PM Modi ask in his trademark patronising-cringe style
"how can our daughters speak such language?"
Sir, they are not 'your' daughters.
People are not your 'children'.
You are not the father of this nation.
Your job is governance and you are failing.

Delhi court acquits BJP leader Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in wrestlers' sexual harassment case
A Delhi Court on Monday acquitted BJP leader and former WFI Chief Brij Bhushan Singh in a case alleging that he sexually harassed women wrestlers.
Girls and women don’t owe you civility, old man. Clutching pearls and pretending you’re a victim while kids have DIED BY SUICIDE because of your fuck ups and then YOUR POLICE USED PELLET GUNS AND AK47s AND LATHIS ON PROTESTERS.
Fuck. Right. Off.
A government that fears questions doesn't start by banning books it starts by rewriting textbooks. Chapters such as **"Kings and Chronicles: The Mughal Courts" (Class 12 History), "Democracy and Diversity," "Popular Struggles and Movements," and "Challenges to Democracy" (Class 10 Political Science), references to Gandhi's assassination, the RSS ban, the 2002 Gujarat riots (Class 12 Political Science/Sociology), sections on Caste Discrimination and Untouchability, and even "Heredity and Evolution" and the Periodic Classification of Elements (Class 10 Science) have been removed or reduced. In my view, this isn't about reducing students' workload it's about controlling the narrative. A generation that never learns uncomfortable truths is easier to manipulate, less likely to question authority, and more likely to accept propaganda as history. Education should produce critical thinkers, not unquestioning followers. A democracy weakens when facts are edited to suit those in power.
“Don’t make it political,” says the party that has turned movies, music, social media, petrol, employment, education, and the value of the rupee into a political battleground.
have held my tongue despite several objections to the CJP’s messaging+tactics but what in the political cravenness is this? sorry, unelected organisers don’t get to approve the vocabulary of public anger. that’s not how mass movements work.
tum kuch bhi kar lo - azaadi.
You are the one who has harmed the future of our youth the most.
You allowed and encouraged the total capture and destruction of our education system - and protected every person responsible for it.
The students’ demands are clear:
1. Sack Dharmendra Pradhan.
2. Apologise to the students.
3. Take action against those who assaulted them.
आपने ही हमारे युवाओं के भविष्य को सबसे ज़्यादा नुकसान पहुंचाया है।
आपने न सिर्फ हमारी education system पर पूरा कब्ज़ा होने और उसे बर्बाद होने दिया, उसे बढ़ावा भी दिया - और इसके ज़िम्मेदार हर व्यक्ति को संरक्षण दिया।
छात्रों की मांगें साफ़ हैं:

2. छात्रों से माफ़ी मांगे।
3. छात्रों के साथ हिंसा करने वालों के ख़िलाफ़ कार्रवाई करें।
