There is another Kolkata within the Kolkata we know-where tap water can vanish for months, electricity can be cut, and an MLA can tell residents they will get neither public services nor official help. Their offence? Being a religious minority.
This is the story of Jyotinagar.
I want to thank everyone for engaging with and amplifying this post here and on Instagram (where it went above 1M views) about my junior, Dr Randall Sequeira, a tribal medicine doctor who was jailed for serving adivasi communities in forsaken hills of Odisha and battling corporates looking to destroy the environment.

As a result of our efforts, Dr. Randall was able to speak to his mother over phone from the jail.
I got to know that, the first thing this doctor of the hills, told his mother was "Sorry".
This is mind numbing.
He is apologizing for doing what was right and getting punished for it.
He is apologizing for standing up to destructive powers and apologizing for it.
He is apologizing for making preventative care the norm instead of therapeutic damage control.
What has this country become in the last decade or so?
Doctors have to apologise for serving the underserved.
Public safety advocates have to apologise for trying to save the environment.
Healthcare activists have to apologise for standing up for primary care.
Youth has to apologise for demanding impartiality and quality of life.
On my post, there was a sudden increase in quotes (concentrated on 23 October 2026, around 18:28–19:22 IST), a tightly clustered set of posts that shared a highly uniform style, argument structure, and framing and consisted of accounts that were predominantly:
- Indian, with heavy nationalist/Hindu cultural markers.
- Blue-verified in many cases, with follower counts typically in the low tens of thousands.
- Bios frequently feature: “Proud Indian,” “Nationalist,” “Sanatani,” “Jai Jai Shri Ram” / “जय श्री राम,” Indian flag emojis, “राष्ट्रहित सर्वोपरि,” “कट्टर राष्ट्रवादी,” “Sanatan Dharma,” “Radhey Radhey,” or similar. Examples: @Shrish_1987, @Shankarsingh992, @imRohit_IND, @ShagunX_, @PJha_666.
- Not primarily medical, environmental, or activist accounts, but general political/social media commentators or supporters aligned with pro-government/nationalist narratives.
These accounts are largely supportive of mining corporates Adani and Vedanta and pro-Govt. None of them provided any clear rebuttals.
Nationalism means being proud of the country and not being proud of becoming lapdogs of the government.
In a better world, a doctor wouldn't be jailed for standing up for rights of the underserved and treating them with compassion and empathy.
Idiots claiming Dr. Randall was converting tribals into Christians are thinking and responding from their pelvises, not brains. Religion is the last refuge of scoundrels. And India is full of them. It's a fcking shame.
Medicine is also about environmental health and social justice. It's not just diagnosis and treatment.
The government must release the good doctor and stop criminalizing healthcare activism because it doesn't feed and bulk their greedy interests.

From Midnapore Lockup to Lalbazar to Hare street PS to Coochbehar lockup, Suvendhu’s police has been shifting him without a chance of bail. His only crime, he has supported @RahulGandhi’s fight against the fascist forces. @subhankar_cong@prakashjoshiinc
@Ad_Tel_210168 India is the UP of the world. It has about 18% of the world’s population but contributes less than 2% of global goods exports. It is also the biggest borrower from the World Bank’s IBRD arm. A huge population, but an export record its leaders should be ashamed of.

MH govt without consulting with us, citizens, cutting pristine forest over 600 ha that is 1500 acres which is 2-4 villages in Bhimashankar forest which is reserved area n vicinity to Pune.
Destroying western ghats is nothing but murder of its citizens by state govt led by bjp.
People in n around Pune need to come on streets against this brutality.
