Meer Faisal has spent years amplifying voices that many mainstream outlets ignore. Despite severe financial pressure, he continues to report with courage & commitment. If you value independent journalism, support @TheObserverPost and help keep this work alive.
Two months ago, we launched a subscription campaign and reduced our monthly subscription from ₹500 to ₹200 in the hope that more people would support independent journalism.
Around 65 people stepped forward and subscribed. For that, I am genuinely grateful. But the reality is that in the last two months, nearly 40 of those subscriptions have already been cancelled.
At a time when we desperately need to rebuild, expand our reporting team, and strengthen our coverage, it feels like we may have to make even more cuts. We have already gone from a team of 13 people to just 5.
Managing both our English and Hindi platforms has become increasingly difficult with such limited resources. Every day is a struggle to decide what we can continue and what we may have to let go.
I don't know what the future holds for The Observer Post. What I do know is that we are still here, still reporting, still trying to tell stories that others overlook.
If our work has ever informed you, helped you understand an issue, or amplified voices that would otherwise go unheard, please consider supporting us with a subscription and, just as importantly, staying with us.
Independent journalism cannot survive on goodwill alone. It survives when people who believe in it choose to sustain it.

@dilshanmustafi Honestly people get so used to them handling everything that they stop checking on them. Even if they are struggling openly they'd just ignore em
Sometimes parents become so accustomed to one child being responsible that they stop noticing how much that child is carrying. They notice what wasn't done rather than everything that was done.
Our brother @HassanSiddiqei has reportedly been arrested by Chandigarh Police for merely retweeting a post originally shared by @/madhukishwar on 24-04-2026.
While the original source remains free, a poor Muslim man has been taken hundreds of kilometers away from his home and sent to 14 days remand over a retweet.
Hassan Bhai is suffering from severe pancreatitis and reportedly requires continuous medical attention. According to updates from those close to him, he fainted in custody and has been vomiting repeatedly, raising serious concerns about his health and custodial care.
This case raises troubling questions about proportionality, selective action, and how the legal process itself can become punishment for those without money, influence, or access to powerful lawyers.
In East Delhi’s Trilokpuri, 16-year-old Ayaan Saifi was allegedly stabbed to death by a group of 6–8 attackers near a local park. His family claims he had no direct involvement in any dispute but was still targeted, and that he had earlier received threats with complaints made to police. His mother, in an emotional appeal, said he was her only support and demanded justice. The family has questioned the pace of action, comparing it to other cases, and is seeking immediate arrests and strict punishment.

An old video of Maulana Tousif Raza Mazhari has surfaced, in which he is heard speaking about issues of mob lynching and urging Muslims to raise their voice and participate politically, including supporting leaders like @asadowaisi.
The video has resurfaced after the 30-year-old cleric from Bihar was found dead near railway tracks in Bareilly on April 26, 2026. While authorities have termed the death an accident, his family alleges he was assaulted and thrown from a moving train, citing a distressing call and video interaction during the incident.
The Bareilly Police has said that “necessary legal action” will be taken after the family raised suspicions, adding that the investigation into the case is ongoing.
