JAMIA WON!
Eighteen days ago, it was just Jasim Khan and a handful of students.
Suspensions. Campus bans. Welded gates. Cut off water. Police crackdowns. Judicial custody.
They threw everything at them to wear them down. The students didn't break.
Everyone! Mark your calendars... Jamia gets its students’ union constitution on May 15, 2027.
CONGRATULATIONS!!
When nothing works, resistance works!
We need to pay attention, people are providing blueprints of how to change their countries:
The 140 seats won by the Serbian student party will be taken up not by students, but by academics & public figures from pre-chosen pool of 250 experts, selected by student plenums.
Scenes from protests in New Delhi.
You can cage the bird, but you cannot cage the song. People continue to remember Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam, speak their names and carry their words into the streets.
Six years of incarceration cannot erase a person from public memory.

oh no CJP people being detained before they can get on ground so that they can watch the proceedings from the sidelines, who coulda seen this coming???
this government’s priorities are genuinely fucking disgusting. just two weeks ago, hundreds of lady shri ram college students were on the streets protesting for basic rights, demanding functional CCTV cameras, better lighting, pink booths, security especially around gate 7 & the back gate. women were on the streets demanding basic safety and the government headed by rekha gupta couldn’t show the same urgency.
but just a day before the Jantar Mantar protest on 10th october, suddenly there’s an order to install 1,000+ cameras around the protest site. THOUSANDS. yeah they successfully installed more than thousand cameras in just 2 days. apparently, the government knows how to mobilise resources overnight when it comes to keeping an eye on citizens who raise their voices, but becomes deaf, dumb and paralysed when young women from one of the finest institution of this country demands protection in the nation’s capital.
they have the machinery to watch you, the manpower to stop you and the resources to control & suppress you. what they apparently lack is the urgency to protect you.
the most fucking shameful part? delhi has a woman chief minister, yet women’s safety seems to be the last thing on this government’s priority list. when women demand protection, the system goes silent. when citizens prepare to protest, suddenly the cameras, barricades and police are ready. if a woman becoming chief minister doesn’t make women’s safety a priority in nation’s capital, then what the fuck was the point of having one? and some of you spineless clowns still have the fucking audacity to defend this government & their spineless actions?!!
just learnt that prahlad joshi backed the release of the 11 bilkis bano rape convicts. cjp officially ended their protest while protesters are still injured or critical. muslims are being targeted. pigs are still busy tear gassing masses. what exactly are you celebrating?
no matter who leads the march, no matter who occupies the streets, when the banners are folded and the slogans fall silent, it is always Muslims who are left to absorb the consequences of your political adventurism. you retreat to the comfort of your homes and your principles, we
