A comrade performing Weednaatyam at the Jantar Mantar protest.
Weednaatyam is an ancient dance form first performed by the Mayan civilization, hoping to end a three-year drought. The gods, however got angry and sent the Spanish invaders instead, leading to the end of the Mayan civilization.
Nonetheless, it's heartening to see indigenous art forms still enduring.

To Dalit brothers and sisters,
I do not deny atrocities. I have seen them with my own eyes when I was a child. I have seen Dalits living on the outskirts of our village. I have heard derogatory words like chooda and chamaar being used openly for them. I remember that when they visited others’ homes, they were made to sit on the floor. At that age, I did not fully understand what was happening, but with time, I understood how deeply unjust it was.
I condemn such treatment in the strongest possible terms; it is inhuman, crude, and shameful. Anyone who practices or supports such behaviour today deserves severe punishment.
At the same time, it is also true that the overwhelming majority of present-day GC and OBC families neither practice nor support such discrimination. And the system, in its quest to overcorrect, has created a structure that by default treats every GC/OBC individual as casteist criminal unless proven otherwise, which is also unfair.
One cannot morally or rationally justify harassing the present generation for injustices committed in the past. Holding people accountable for actions they neither committed nor endorsed converts the struggle against historical injustice into a new form of injustice.
Historical wrongs must be acknowledged and corrected through institutional reform, equal opportunity, and restoration of dignity, not through social revenge that sustains perpetual hostility instead of reconciliation.
This is why I support the Atrocities Act but oppose the absence of provisions against misuse. Punish those who commit crimes, but ensure that innocents are not targeted as a form of revenge. The same applies to UGC regulations. That is the basis of the opposition.
“Tanhayi mein fariyaad toh kar sakta hoon,
veerane ko abaad toh kar sakta hoon,
jab chahun tumhein mil nahin sakta,
lekin jab chahun tumhe yaad toh kar sakta hoon.”

In English they say:-
“lost interests in everything”
But in Urdu we can say:-
“Woh silsiley, woh shauk, woh nisbat nhi rahi,
Woh dil nhi raha, woh tabiyat nhi rahi”.
@boAtSupport1 So, what am I supposed to do with your apologies? Should I just go buy new earphones since selling faulty products is apparently not your concern?
