the discipline of letting people finish speaking without interrupting to defend yourself, correct them, or rush your own point is a level of emotional regulation we don’t talk about enough. most people aren’t listening, they’re waiting to grab the microphone back.
Swatantra Bhardwaj's legal defender is Umesh Sharma... whose own son has publicly disowned him.
Manu Abhishek s/o Umesh Sharma has announced a formal disownment of his father, who is allegedly defending accused Swatantra Bhardwaj.
> I haven't spoken to him in years. We do not want to be associated with those who support terrorist ideologies.
> The work I do for this nation cannot be affected by what my father chooses to do.
He also alleges his father was abusive toward his family and is now acting as an opportunist by defending the wrong side. He hasn't spoken to his father in 7 years.
— Manu Abhishek s/o Umesh Sharma
Umesh Sharma, the advocate for Swatantra Bhardwaj, is the same lawyer who filed cases against Pawan Khera and against the 6th June CJP protest. He routinely defends the BJP's violent affiliates.
Iski funding kahan se aati hai?
If a lower conviction rate is the criterion for delegitimising an Act, then UAPA should be called out first, especially given how it has been used to target Muslims.
Between 2019 and 2023, 10,440 people were arrested under UAPA, but only 335 were convicted, meaning just 3.2% of those arrested were convicted.
The SC/ST Act has a higher conviction rate than UAPA, so perhaps Anand Ranganathan should start by speaking out against UAPA.
“We are seeing young officers of the Indian Police Service going personally and assaulting protesters and demonstrators. It is very, very distressing to observe. The detachment expected of police officers somehow seems to be disappearing, and it is indeed a matter of grave concern.”
— SC Judge Justice Ujjal Bhuyan (yesterday at @yashoazad Book release function ) on the assault of students by Delhi Police
Delhi Police Commissioner Anurag Kumar should resign if he has any shame left after hearing this remark by a SC judge.
even the most secular and rationally thinking Hindus refrain from using the word “terrorism” for these Hindutva terrorists like Swatantra. why? because deep down, as supposedly secular as they are, the word “terrorism” is reserved for Muslims and Islam. it is very subtle but they don’t want their religion or faith to be tarnished in the slightest. its pious nature must remain so. was 1984 Sikh pogrom not terrorism? was Gujarat 2002 pogrom not terrorism? was Delhi 2020 pogrom not terrorism? what else is terrorism? but the internalised urge to protect their faith keeps them away from addressing things as they are. it is also another way to reassure yourself that your religion is peaceful and godly and nothing wrong can be done in the name of it.
When @zoo_bear was arrested by Delhi Police in 2022 based on a manufactured complaint, court had ordered 4 days of remand and he was kept in IFSO office in Sector 16 in Dwarka during the remand period. I would go see him from a distance everyday because he was allowed to meet the lawyer everyday, and I would go along, but i wasn't allowed to speak with him. Once he was going to be taken for a health checkup (as part of regular procedure), which would mean he would have to be put into a police van and taken to the hospital. I was present there at that point in time and saw a lone camera person standing outside the gate. I was intrigued as to how does this media person know that Zubair's going to be taken for a checkup. I asked him which media organisation he's from, and it of course turned out to be ANI. Essentially Delhi Police had informed ANI that the camera person should be there so that the images can be shown widely on social media. Thankfully, that case didn't go the Umar Khalid way and he eventually got bail in 23 days. In those days, he was shuttled between different towns of UP and Delhi and the ANI camera followed him everywhere. Today, Swatantra Bhardwaj has been sent to police remand for an actual crime, but ANI has no photos to show.
Sound mind is the first prerequisite for healthy body. Unfortunately Indian men have stressful 20s and 30s. By 40s many are already beaten.
This type of physique with extremely low body fat itself can have toll on mental health and is extremely demanding. It’s not practical for someone who isnt rich or not working in film industry/modeling.

Delhi police flagged 2873 hardened criminals at Jantar Mantar but Swatantra Bhardwaj and Abhishek thakur is not one of them…. Waw delhi police absolute worst.
During my stay in US, I experienced this situation once. It is real!
Drivers there are very self disciplined, and compassionate towards others.
Not a cop in sight, it’s all self regulation. Someday, we need to reach that state.
If Swantantra’s videos have shocked people, here’s my reportage from 2020 Delhi riots in which 54 were killed. Everything is recorded. Yet not a single person throwing stones or leading mobs was booked by Delhi police.

'आम जनमत पार्टी' नाम की फर्जी पार्टी को 2024 के लोकसभा चुनाव में 620 करोड़ रुपए का चंदा मिला.
इस पार्टी ने चुनाव में सिर्फ 1 कैंडिडेट उतारा. पार्टी की अध्यक्ष BJP की नेता थीं. पार्टी का ऑफिस गुजरात में है.
इसी तरह 2024 में 6 फर्जी पार्टियों को कुल 1700 करोड़ का चंदा मिला जो कि 5 राष्ट्रीय पार्टियों को मिले चंदे से ज्यादा है. ये 6 फर्जी पार्टियों भी गुजरात की हैं.
आप कुछ समझ पा रहे हैं?
पूरे देश से जो पैसा लूटा जा रहा है, वो इस तरह गुजरात में ठिकाने लगाया जा रहा है.
