It just baffles me when a woman spews hate against an oppressed minority- whether it's religion, caste, or color- heck even against their own gender- like girl, how are YOU of all people, on the wrong side of things?
Peace for isr*elis means nothing changes in their lives, meanwhile “peace” for PaIestinians means allowing their colonizers to get away with ethnically cleansing them from the land
Every passing day I realise how insanely attentive Aditya Dhar was while writing Dhurandhar
In this scene you see a man in so much pain that he can’t even cry properly....like the emotion is stuck inside him. He wants to let it out but he can’t...yet at the same time he can’t stop the tears either and then he lights a cigarette. The moment it burns his eyes start watering and the tears finally fall
This scene wasn’t added randomly. Aditya Dhar clearly knew what he was doing. He was subtly showing exactly how smokers feel every single year on Budget Day
Detailing at its peak 🙌
#Casteism A Dalit sanitation worker woman was publicly beaten by a caste Hindu man just because she asked for payment for her work. The Manuvadi said, “This is your religious, hereditary duty.” #DalitLivesMatter
Apparently, in 2025, “reading Wikipedia and watching a podcast” now qualifies you as a historian, as long as you yell about “Indic frameworks” and tweet in caps.
So let’s talk, slowly and academically, about why formal training in history is, in fact, necessary. 🧵
"Its better to marry someone from the same background" = "We need to maintain caste purity & think of those outside of our castes & community as beneath us & fundamentally not worthy of living amongst us"
Most debates about Hindi cinema miss the point. The danger isn’t that films incite violence. It’s that they prepare us emotionally for it — while letting us believe we’re still reasonable people 1/12
I am responsible for Deepinder Goyal not paying good money to his delivery workers.
Every time I order, I load baskets on both Blinkit and Instamart (I avoid Zepto), and check which one is cheaper.
I have been buying more on Instamart because, of late, it has stopped charging delivery fees.
I don't expect 10 minute delivery (it never happens), but I do get annoyed if it stretches beyond 18-20 minutes.
At times, if the tracking shows that the delivery person isn't moving, I call up and ask where he is. (I let it go if they say they had stopped for lunch or tea.)
The other day, there was a heavy surge charge and a potential delay - I would have had to pay ₹72 extra on Blinkit - and I wasn't happy.
I doubt I would buy anything on these apps if they started charging more for delivery, or stopped giving heavy discounts.
So, the business model they follow - pay less to delivery workers, and pass on the savings to customers - comes directly from the way in which I use their services.
They wouldn't exist without my self-interest.
This is peak moral bankruptcy.
Reducing lynching to per-year averages is how atrocities are normalized, not disproved. One lynching justified is one too many — counting bodies to prove “it’s not that bad” is obscene.
Comparing victims across communities to say “others died more” is textbook whataboutism. Crime against Hindus doesn’t cancel crime against Muslims. State failure isn’t a zero-sum game.
Dragging Bangladesh into this is desperation, not logic. India’s crimes don’t vanish because another country is worse. That argument would excuse literally any brutality on earth.
Raju lives in Dubai/Texas and posts on twitter about Amritkaal, Rancho is in jail because he didn't want his school to become a tourist destination and Farhan was killed on his way back from the meat market
India is YouTube’s second-largest market and is poised to become Google’s most important market in the coming years. If GOI cannot leverage this position to direct Google @nealmohan@sundarpichai from preventing the release of a content made with the only intention to dehumanize & incite more racism against Indians, then @AshwiniVaishnaw should step down.
I request other followers to also bring this to the attention of GOI

Crazy that Obama, Hillary, the NYT, Darren Aronofsky, Time magazine all puffed up Greta Thunberg when they thought she’d settle into a life of Aspen institute panels and Pepsi-style gen z NGO activism but she instead went beastmode on Gaza and now they act like she never existed
At the Together 4 Palestine gig in London, Eric Cantona stood alongside ex-Palestinian player Mahmoud Sarsak, jailed 3 years by Israel, with a powerful reminder:
“FIFA and UEFA banned Russia 4 days after Ukraine. We’re 716 days into a genocide, and Israel still plays.”
