This is very moving and what a single man with a mission can achieve. Few have done more in modern India for a cause that has been rendered marginal by big media, courts and parliament due to existing caste bias.
@BezwadaWilson's life, to use the Gandhi misquote, is a message.
@tamrajkillvish@tjoseph0010 You don't need to go to war. But the PM can have a word with his good friend Trump right? Or ask his ministers to go to the families to give a word of comfort, instead of happily going about his day as if nothing big has happened.
@tamrajkillvish@tjoseph0010 In your opinion what would be a good number of Indians to be killed before the PM raises his voice? 50, 100, 200? Pick a number.
The Dalit Panthers was founded in July 1972, as the nation approached 25 years of independence. JV Pawar, now 82 years old, told me in Mumbai that the group’s history can be traced back to an Irani restaurant in Dadar, where young Dalit Marathi writers and poets—including Namdeo Dhasal, Daya Pawar, Arjun Dangle, Prahlad Chendwankar and Pawar himself—would meet regularly.
At first, it was a literary group. But after the findings of the Committee on Untouchability, Economic and Educational Development of the Scheduled Castes—headed by L Elayaperumal, tabled in parliament in 1970—the group started spending more and more time discussing atrocities against Dalits. The committee found widespread caste discrimination, harassment and atrocities committed against the Scheduled Castes across the country and recommended tightening the laws against caste discrimination—which played a role in the passage of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act in 1989.

Modi Govt's breaking down of existing iconic govt buildings, like Vigyan Bhavan, Udyog Bhavan (already gone), Krishi Bhavan, Nirman Bhavan
and Shastri Bhavan
(I worked for years in all, except Krishi & Vigyan)
is a RACKET and building stodgy buildings there is a BIGGER RACKET.
A MUST read thread on how pathetic drug regulation is
A company that continued to make drugs after stop-production orders in 2023
37% of its samples failed quality check in 2017
Blacklisted by Jan Aushadi + 8 states
And now its drug linked to death of new mothers in Rajasthan👇
Joe Sacco spent years reporting on a communal riot in Uttar Pradesh for his new work of graphic reportage. But his Indian publisher abruptly dropped the book before it could be sold there. We have published an excerpt.
Hard to keep track of all of the MAGA World Cup racism, corruption & incompetence isn’t it?
Thankfully we now have a tracker to log every last fuckery of this disgraced tournament👇👇
UP Police broke every rule. Allahabad High Court just made them pay. 🚨
On March 19, cops barged into Mansoor Ahmad's home in Prayagraj, dragged him to the station, and threw him in jail... no warrant, no bail bond, no legal process. He sat behind bars for 8 illegal days.
Mansoor knocked on Allahabad High Court's door... and the court delivered. The HC ordered UP government to pay ₹2 lakh compensation within 6 weeks, to be recovered from the guilty ACP's salary after disciplinary inquiry.
The court called the denial of a personal bond "shocking"... and dropped a bombshell: 721 people have been illegally detained in Prayagraj Commissionerate alone in 2026. New orders now mandate audio-visual recording if bail is refused... violate it and it's ₹25,000/day plus action against the officer.
One man fought back. And changed the rules for everyone.
Tras los JJOO de 1936 en la Alemania nazi, Jesse Owens, atleta negro que ganó cuatro oros, fue preguntado por su experiencia en Alemania.
Resulta que pudo alojarse en la Villa Olímpica y comer con el resto de atletas, en EEUU no.
Roosevelt se negó a recibirlo en la Casa Blanca y en un homenaje en NY en un lujoso hotel le prohibieron usar la puerta principal...
A partir de mañana vamos a ser testigos del arraigado y vigente racismo de un país que no ha mejorado mucho que digamos.
Mañana empieza el Mundial más racista de la historia.
NewsClick founder Prabir Purkayastha spent 6 months in jail. Now Delhi HC quashed ED's case against him and called it an attack on free press.
Court said,"Not only are present proceedings mala fide, but also an arbitrary attack and abuse of power on free & impartial journalism."
BJP ministers keep claiming success where the record shows failure.
India has produced just 1.4 GWh of ACC battery capacity against a 50 GWh target, while subsidies have gone to tainted firms like Rajesh Exports instead of real domestic cell manufacturing. Much of the so-called battery manufacturing is still assembly from imported Chinese cells.
As Maruti-Suzuki Chairman RC Bhargava has said, India is packaging batteries, not manufacturing cells.
