Universal design isn't just about disability. It's where different sorts of bodies-with aches and twinges, of the very young, old or pregnant-can claim their right to inhabit spaces.
Thank you for speaking to this from a place of care, @thecatlyf

You dig a hole in the highway to bury someone's right to protest. Or, use law and legal force with malice to prevent people from speaking up. Its democracy that is being thrown into the ditch to preserve your power.

Stan Swamy, Rona Wilson, Arun Ferreira, Sudha Bharadwaj, Varavara Rao, Anand Teltumbde, Gautam Navlakha, and many others remain in jail while Arnab is treated like a superstar who needs rescuing, ministers tweet support, courts hear the case pronto. We are a perverse democracy

They tell you who to marry, who to set alight.
What strange things will happen in India tonight?

A million wrongs now to set the past right.
What strange things will happen in India tonight?

Blood's the harvest, peace a blight.
What strange things will happen in India tonight?

This is how a vicious govt wields power, and so-called arm of justice is a ridiculous, ruthless joke.

[Supriya Sharma @sharmasupriya]

A silent crackdown has been sweeping through India's capital.

Such is the fear that few are willing to speak about it.

In 'New India', even before you are done talking about one tragic event which is a direct consequence of failing governance, another one unfolds right before your eyes, and then another, and then another, and then another ...

Everything about #Hathras shows how caste and power play out.
Being able to make the connection, to challenge caste based practices in everyday conversation and practices is also what justice looks like. To hold the justice system accountable- the police, the state.

[Kavita Krishnan @kavita_krishnan]

The Hathras gangrape victim passed away.
Speak about the reality of assaults on Dalit women and girls. Connect dots, show larger picture of structural violence against Dalits, Dalit women. Don't isolate, exceptionalise this case as a gruesome aberration.

[Aman Wadud @AmanWadud]

Last November the Hon'ble Supreme Court, while awarding the disputed site to Hindu claimants, said that the demolition of Babri Masjid was “an egregious violation of the rule of law”

BUT apparently NO ONE violated that Rule of Law.

When the migrant labour walked miles to get back home , where was the government? When non ration card holders did not get food, where was the government? Who shouldered the responsibility? And now government wants to punish the NGOs for doing what is right! Is this just?

“I will sit here till blood stops flowing in my veins so the children of this country and the world breathe the air of justice and equality”- writes @RanaAyyub

To #Bilkis, the women of #ShaheenBagh and those who continue to resist and inspire.

[Rana Ayyub @RanaAyyub]

Bilkis from Shaheen Bagh is TIME magazine's hundred most influential of the year. It was an honour to write about her

Wrote this piece on why we need to sit up and pay attention to how the pandemic is affecting children, how to recognise warning signs of distress and build resilience.
Thank you @madasiapacific for giving it space, and to @CurioCity_org for the support.

This.
Slander against other women does absolutely nothing for the #MeToo movement.

[Suparna Sharma @SuparnaSharma]

#PayalGhosh & #MeToo

I won't comment on @iamPayalGhosh’s allegations of sexual assault against @anuragkashyap72 as that is something he will have to deal with.
I will, however, say that I stand with #PayalGhosh's right to call out her perpetrator.
But...

For a govt that wants to mine the data of its citizens to suit its agenda, this clearly doesn’t make the cut. What a cruel irony!

[Satish Acharya @satishacharya]

No data on migrants' deaths, admits govt @newssting1 cartoon

[Rana Ayyub @RanaAyyub]

The Modi regime has systematically arrested every dissenting voice that commands a following and has leadership potential. The anti CAA protest gave us leaders who are willing to be our 'opposition' in the face of intimidation by the state. The arrests are meant to silence them
