After Kashmir, 'normalcy' has reached Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Jamia Millia, Aligarh and some other places. If you don't speak out even now, this 'normalcy' will reach your homes too...very soon!
Today marks 100 days since India annexed Kashmir and revoked its autonomy.
100 days of communication blackout, curfew, mass raids, medicine shortages, torture & humiliation.
This will forever be a stain on India & those who turned away.
Tomorrow marks 60 days since Kashmir has been in the dark.
No internet, no mobile phones & so few landlines that people wait in line for hours to make a 45 second, wiretapped call.
India has used the blackout to arrest, torture & kill.
What would you do? How would you feel?
There was an earthquake that affected Kashmir today & because of the communication blackout, many can’t reach their loved ones.
Imagine seeing the devastating photos & not being able to call home.
India’s cruelty is like a dystopian novel only it’s real & has been for 52 days.
Modi arrives in Houston in 48 hours.
When he does, he’ll be greeted by a lawsuit alleging human rights abuses in Kashmir including land annexation, detentions, disappearances & deaths.
The whole world should treat Modi like the war criminal that he is

180 toilets for 3000 prisoners. 1 toilet per 17 people. Truly Swacch Bharat.
15 buildings. 4 floors each. 50 people on each floor. Our newest Smart City.
This is a concentration camp.

Strange and surprising to see the NSA acknowledge that Pakistan has full and total control over India's policy in Kashmir. The aim of any strong sovereign govt would be the opposite, to have full control over its policies. https://t.co/YcEg85ph6n
"In short, summoning the CV of scholars those whose reputation, impact, influence and commitment makes Indian academia what it is, is as close as we can come to academic heresy.
Happy Teachers’ Day!"

Magazine | “Violence is a regular affair here,” says photojournalist Syed Shahriyar Hussainy. “Earlier, it happened only in downtown #Kashmir; now there is anger on every street corner, even among children.”

Not a violation till I am violated. Not inhuman till my own is dehumanised. Disregard for freedom till mine is taken away. No empathy till I’m the one in need of it. Mesmerised by brutality till my children are brutalised. Worship of power till power devours me — India right now.
