I wish younger people could’ve experienced the old internet. It was messy, creative, personal, and genuinely fun before a handful of tech giants turned it into a shopping mall.
One of the mysteries of this current time is despite an entire nation, TV, websites, papers covering this incident, this man roams free after molesting a child on camera.
He did not post a video to ask men to stop harassing the women because that did not come to him as a ‘cultural shock’. It’s a shock to no one in the world today. Moreover, he knows what to expect from his men.
The patronizing tone of "I forgive the misguided kids", meant to reaffirm his status as a father-figure of India, impervious to criticism and reproach, as opposed to a mere public servant who can be voted out (in a functioning democracy) should concern anyone with a brain cell.
It takes an exceptional narcissist to play the victim of a few gaalis after being the perpetrator of unforgivable barabarious acts against the very children he asks us to forgive.
To Indian women,
I don’t know if you caught what the PM said in his video last night.
He beat around the bush, forgave people who did nothing wrong, but did you notice the one line?
He said he got a "CULTURAL SHOCK" by how our daughters are using this language.
WHY?
Do only men in this country have freedom of speech?
Are only men allowed to vent their anger?
Are only men allowed to abuse in our "CULTURE", "SOCIETY"?
Isn't this straight up misogyny. Isn't this a sexist statement?
PUTTING THE ENTIRE ONUS OF WHAT HAPPENED AT JANTAR MANTAR ON ONE GENDER?
Maybe i am too woke 🤷🏻♀️ but I'm actually glad birth rates are declining. Not because children are a burden, but because more people are finally realising they're not fit to be parents and that's a far kinder decision than bringing a child into a life they're not prepared for.
A bookseller in Jadavpur, Kolkata alleges he was threatened with demolition by men wearing saffron tilaks for selling "anti-national" books.
His "crime"? Selling literature, history & books on Dr. Ambedkar's philosophy.
This is New Bengal, where mobs decide what you can read.
Suvendu Adhikari's govt passed a Goonda act, akin to the Rowlatt Act which allows the govt to order preventative detention for upto a year without a trial. This was apparently brought in to curb "anti-social activities". It has now been invoked to arrest 7 muslim protestors
Pradhan didn’t have the decency to take responsibility or apologise right to the end. Not even for the students who died by suicide.
Just called everyone else “anti-national”
Essence of an RSS man
great that he resigned but the rot in the system goes way deeper. i hope this anti-bjp/modi wave doesn't die and ppl continue to keep the government in check until they are finally thrown out. we move to the next level now. long live the resistance. long live the revolution
