Some late observations:

1. Students love a good fight. Esp. when it’s unfair and they are the underdogs. Plus they love community - a highly valuable state of mind available to the modern human only for a few years of youth. No money can buy those hormones.

2. Sense of humour is a great weapon against fanatics. It disarms the opponent and heals the oppressed. And most importantly, gets you Instagram views.

3. Father figures, constantly telling a nation what to eat, who to marry, who not to love etc, are easy to dislike and unite against.

4. Mainstream media committed a mass-sepukku by agreeing to peddle just the govt. narrative over the last decade. So much so that on most policy issues, they are more conservative and bigoted than the government itself.

It did two beautiful things - one, a big chunk of population started switching off, and two, the government itself ended up dumping them in the end, by negotiating with genuine protests already labelled as aatankwaadi by the news TV. On most occasions they make govt’s job more difficult than easy.

Today - watching news TV is seen as one of the most uncool, low IQ things by a majority of the population.

5. Cuss words are no longer the underground culture they were a decade ago. (Even Gangs of Wasseypur was like 14 years ago.)

Access to international rap, desi hip hop, more than 100 Indian comedians not censoring their language, even when they censor their thoughts, and in some cases political patronage to the cuss-heavy influencers have made sure that the language on the street is no more purist/sanitised. The more it shocks the authority figures, the more it will be used.

6. An aura - carefully built over a decade - took a fortnight to burst into smithereens. That’s how flimsy it was.

Thank you PM for NOT firing Pradhan ji two weeks ago.

It gave us enough time for:

1. The end of godi media
2. A million funny memes
3. A thousand pictures of courage
4. The rise of a dozen new young political leaders
5. “56 inch ka chhota bandar”

Make no mistake, this is not just loss of face for an arrogant government but also for its hate spewing Noida channels. The ‘anti nationals’, ‘Pakistanis’, ‘Chinese agents’, ‘deep state’, ‘Soros funded’, ‘Khalistanis’ have won. And how!

@sanket Daadi reminds me so much of my mom. She'd have looked and spoken just like this daadi had she lived longer. I'd really love to speak to this daadi once.

Bravo. The Supreme court of India has no time to watch videos of police brutality but the Delhi High court will hear a PIL seeking NIA probe into the protests. Judiciary in the world’s largest democracy

[Rajdeep Sardesai @sardesairajdeep]

Wow! Our Honourable Courts have time to hear whether CJP is foreign funded (with ZERO evidence of this) but no time to watch videos of Monday’s violence against students? Said this before: STOP THE CONSPIRACY THEORIES, YUVA KI AAWAZ SUNO! 🙏

[Live Law @LiveLawIndia]

Several Supreme Court advocates assemble at the Court lawns to recite the Preamble to the Constitution as part of the 'Save Democracy, Save Constitution' campaign amidst the student protests in the national capital.

Mumbai Police are threatening students

" If you come to Protest again, I will frame you all in drug case and you'll spend your whole life in Jail.

I'm a very bad guy,don't test me,I'll throw u all in Jail"

This is what goons in uniform look like, Hope the Nation is watching

[Damn. @Theonenameddamn]

If you're with the protesters, then you should demand the resignation of the Education Minister. But if you're against the protesters and believe they're terrorists or backed by foreign powers, then the Home Minister should resign. After all, how can there be so many terrorists in the country without it being a failure of the Home Ministry?

[eppy @epppyyy]

Dawg if all the Protestors are actually Pakistani Agents

Then Home Minister should also resign, how tf did all these protestors enter 😭

Delhi Police has just brought in a totally damaged car and placed it outside the protest site at Jantar Mantar.

Why have you placed this car here @DelhiPolice? What do you intend to show with this car?

Everyone should remember this car has been brought here in this condition - important to record before they can blame it on peaceful protesters.
