Calling Sikhs “Indians” is like calling Palestinians “Israelis” or calling Ukrainians “Russians”
India is focused on the elimination of the land, people, & ideology of Panjab, Sikhi, while Sikhs are elated with recognition from @RollingStone
It’s incorrect. Sikhs aren’t Indian
ranjit singh—a hero who defended the #farmersprotest from attacks by goons & indian police is released on bail after 48 days of torture & imprisonment.

Now’s the time to step UP the pressure for the #farmersprotest, not down. Canadian PM has made a statement. UK parliament has discussed the idea of India not even being a democracy, & the US senate is showing the same signs
Everyone’s tired, but find that extra gear. Let’s go!
As we celebrate Ranjit Singh receiving bail, don’t forget that he was arrested for protecting people against Indian Govt employed goons
It’s this oppressive system that forces you to focus on small issues like bail & arrests, while 300+ lives perish at the #farmersprotest
25 women including 2-year-old yasmi kaur were illegally arrested & detained for hours simply for being in a vehicle with farmers flags & nishaan sahibs.
this is yet another example of the indian state showcasing their distaste for sikhs & those supporting the #farmersprotest
We love to see pictures of Singhs doing jakaray while bleeding from the head, seva, langar, braving water cannons & tear gas

Give me a break
These things are birthed from the Sikh spirit of selflessness, bravery, and sovereignty. Believe it
There is a mass movement by the Indian government to target and criminalize Sikhs during the #FarmersProtest.
Hundreds are being disproportionately targeted, tortured, scapegoated, and dehumanized.

we demand india #freedisharavi. we demand they #freenodeepkaur and all the other women in jail w her. we demand they #freeshivkumar & the hundreds of innocent farmers they’ve illegally arrested for practicing their democratic right to protest.
enough is enough.
the #farmersprotest is a climate justice movement. farmers are worried about ecological destruction & want environmentally friendly practices. india is scared of the coalitions forming against these laws. disha’s arrest is a way to break this solidarity.
disha ravi, a 21-year-old climate activist, has been arrested by delhi police for sharing a toolkit @GretaThunberg posted in support of the #farmersprotest.
disha’s arrest is alarming and the world needs to pay attention. #freedisharavi

How can we separate the three Farmer bills from overall Indian government oppression?
Answer: you can’t
India’ goal is always control. Whether through the caste system, religious division, or now, through Farmer bills for billionaires, so the methods are identical
