The way the Indian government is decimating the country’s great government universities is genuinely horrifying. At best this is damage that will take decades to undo (or the more horrifying reality is that it can never be undone).

@shrazit omg what was that

[Vidya @VidyaKrishnan]

They used 0.01% of available ₹ 8,452 crore as people died like flies. Do you remember the second wave? Do you remember the riots for oxy cylinders?

Arundhati Roy wrote an essay then when she called the govt handling a "crime against humanity". This is more proof of that.

[lina | لينه @labushouk]

the idea that Arday's reputation is restored in death is steeped in a logic of necropolitics. he didn't need to be sacrificed at the altar of "racial science" & "meritocracy" for his life to mean something. to quote Nikki Giovanni, the fact "that he [sic] breathed was enough."

The PM cares fund took money from ordinary Indians - people contributed from their salaries- and then just sat on the money through disaster after disaster.

[Sarayu Pani @sarayupani]

It’s hard to believe but India has laws against profiteering from education - blatantly flouted with obvious work arounds like trust structures.

And this is the result. A generation of graduates with debt and few prospects.

[Sarayu Pani @sarayupani]

They paraded surrendered Naxals in makeup in a room full of government ministers and some of your here were celebrating that demeaning spectacle as empowerment

The women were tricked after being told they were being offered sewing training 👇👇

The SIR is manufacturing second class citizenship in real time - denial of rations, denial of educational opportunities

It is the NRC by another name

You can say you won’t do “Hindu Muslim” politics but in this majoritarian state, Hindutva will come for you regardless. They will reduce every broader collective to the identity of its participants, and target based on religion

One cannot combat that without acknowledging it.

UPA in Supreme Court: Urban ideologues “have kept the Maoist movement alive and are in many ways more dangerous than the cadres of the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army”.

MMS in 2006: Naxals are “the single biggest internal security challenge ever faced by our country.”

Words from James Baldwin, written 62 years ago, still remain the best moral compass towards understanding the whole tragic Jason Arday affair.

Visiting your hometown is so crazy cause on one hand you’re forced to reckon with every ghost of unresolved trauma from your past over and over forever but on the other hand there’s like that one sandwich that’s so good

In the UK you can harass a Black professor to death, but you can’t protest a genocide

[Maryam @hell_line0]

im still haunted by the memory of a woman who ordered orange syrup in her cappuccino, took a sip, scrunched her nose, and said "I don't know what I was thinking, but thank you anyways."

She sat there and drank the whole thing..i offered to make her something else, and she said, "I am living with the consequences."
