Assam demolishes homes of 132 Bengali Muslim families who were displaced in 1983 riots. @scroll_in
The families alleged that the authorities had selectively targeted them as their Hindu neighbours were not evicted.

When innovation becomes a business backed by the mobilization of scientific and technical know-how as a commodity for sale to the highest bidder, a whole new world opens up for capital to colonize,
No matter how I look at it, from a national security angle or the money to be made from construction by the contractors who run the country and Arunachal, I don’t find any justification for such coercive action by the Indian state without the consent of the Adi people to build such a massive hydro project on the Siang river, where they plan to have 11,000-12,500 MW of hydropower. Remember, in September 2017, Amitabh Kant, then NITI Aayog CEO, after famously taking a chopper ride, announced a 10,000 MW hydropower project on the Siang river. Before he reached Delhi, protests had already erupted in the Siang valley, a region steadfastly opposed to mega hydropower for four decades and counting. #Siang
111 days in Detention for Pranab Doley. Pranab is indigenous- so no caste capital. Limited media coverage, no mikes nor campaigns from 'liberals' for his release.

That’s violent Delhi police on Saturday. It is infuriating to watch police violence against citizens protesting against the forceful attempt to build a mega dam without the consent of the indigenous people by militarising the area and arresting indigenous activists in an attempt to muzzle their voices and instill fear. The people’s resistance is not going to stop soon.

What happened in Pasighat would not have happened had DGP Jamwal, SP Lamba, and the government handled it well. At this point, I have nothing to say about the police action against me and Sunny Tayeng, and their illegal surveillance. I just wish they had asked lawyer Sunny Tayeng, who is appearing for anti-dam activists Ebo Mili, Tajong Talom, Otul Jerang, and many others, and me at least once instead of asking for a search warrant from the court. Sunny is a busy lawyer and brilliant at her work, so she needs to focus on her practice rather than being burdened by extra work. We will see what happens tomorrow so will you all. Please be reassured that I have seen enough intimidation in my life, so this isn’t something that will stop me from writing or my activism. More power to the people of Siang valley and Arunachal. We owe it to Siang and her people. I will continue to stand with the people of Siang Valley, with Ebo Mili, Otul Jerang, and Tajong Talom, who are in judicial custody in Pasighat, and Adum Tayum, Okut Palloh, Oson Paron, and Omak Paron, who are in jail under APUAPA. Please don’t get distracted by the East Siang district police action against Sunny and me. They would not have done it without someone’s direction. Please continue talking about Siang and her people. Once again, thank you very much for the solidarity.

A Delhi police officer asking to drag a Muslim woman calling her an anti national in full view of the cameras. This is a complete radicalisation of the police force in the heart of the nation’s capital !
