Palestinian flag in every single protest cause it represents more than just palestinian nationhood, it represensts courage, resisitance, liberation and freedom. There is no liberation of the working class of the world without the liberation of the palestinians ❤️🇵🇸
🇵🇸🇵🇸
This is just straight out of IDF's playbook btw, they were already beating up children on the streets and heavily playing the victim card and now they've resorted to this, delhi police really did learn everything from their masters in Israel
@utdbrxy I am actually so done man, earlier we used to still have some cope that oh get this manager in or sign this player but i dont have any hope for this team now. Just fckn depressing
Where do we even go from here like fr? This is INEOS' 3rd full season and we are on the cusp of sacking our 3rd permanent manager, sack the entire "best in class" team man, lost for words
Most Indians don't know this, but the Dreze family are literally academic royalty in Belgium.
Jean's brother the late Xavier Dreze was a highly regarded Marketing professor at UCLA's Anderson School of Management. He was one of the very very few who could do both modeling and consumer behavior research. He died very young at age 48. His obituary says he was a true polymath with multiple academic and sporting talents.
Jean's father the late Jacques Dreze was an economist at the Université Catholique de Louvain. He was a highly regarded economist and the first president of the European Economic Association. He has collaborated with nobel laureates Robert Aumann and Franco Modigliani and his publication record is comparable with the best in the field.
Jean Dreze could have had a very cushy life with his family legacy, white skin and European passport. Even in India, he could have been a social butterfly flitting in and out of five star hotels and running think tanks funded hy veated interests. Instead, he took Indian citizenship, learnt Hindi and roughs it out in rural Jharkhand. He designed many schemes and his footprint is all over Indian economic policy.
You may like him or hate him. But Jean Dreze is more Indian than anyone who was born Indian, including you and me. He chose to be Indian. And he has dedicated his life to India.
Think of this the next time some illiterate journalist asks "Who is Jean Dreze?"
The tale of leadership of 2 protests in India:
Anti-CAA (2019-20) Anti-ECI/SIR (2026)
Umar Khalid Abhijeet Dipke
Sharjeel Imam Saurav Das
Gulfisha Fatima Neha Bohra
Safoora Zargar Ratna Singh
Shifa-ur-Rehman Ashutosh Ranka
Today, the protests happening in Delhi led by Abhijeet, Neha, Saurav, etc is an extension of the same resistance that was first lit & led by Umar, Gulfisha, Sharjeel, etc in Shaheen Bagh. But the difference in how the two were treated is heartbreaking.
What is being fought for at Jantar Mantar today, the people in Shaheen Bagh, AMU & Jamia were fighting for almost the same in 2019-20. But how is it that the pain of Jantar Mantar becomes the conscience of the nation, while the pain & tears of Shaheen Bagh, AMU, Jamia are buried, criminalised & jailed in silence?
When Abhijeet, Neha, Saurav & others were touched, the entire civil society, media & political ecosystem erupts in one voice. Editorials are written, debates are held, and they are hailed as defenders of democracy & the future of the nation.
But when students were lathi-charged inside AMU & Jamia, when Shaheen Bagh was met with brute force & young activists were branded as anti-nationals & thrown into jails to rot for years without trial, there was ominous silence. No political party called for a protest, no studio held a debate that democracy was in danger. Instead, the same media that is defending Jantar Mantar today presented them as anti-nationals.
We are celebrating Jantar Mantar today, but we abandoned the daughters & sons of our nation when they were fighting for what is being fought today in 2019 at Shaheen Bagh.
History may remember that in 2026 all opposition parties assembled together to stand with student activists to save democracy, but it will never forget that in 2019 they closed their eyes & ears and let poor Muslim students pay the price for saving that same democracy.

tell this credit thing to your friend Saurav who keeps boasting about “post Jantar Mantar” India and how you lot have “awakened the youth of the conscience.”
your defence can’t always be, “we are only this months old.” thank you for your work but if you’re not prepared fully, let the left organisations lead and take decisions and prepare a strategy.
