What a funny little thing, this heart. On some days, I feared that it would stop. On other days, I was terrified that it wouldn't.

@Pavlo__Escobar @CaribCricket Tweets like this are a telltale for a pro rape society, how frivolously rape is being used by people to make a joke. Rape culture/ Rapist mindset is not that hard to recognise.

On the holiest day in the Jewish year, an antisemitic attack at a synagogue in England has taken the lives of two and gravely injured others. My thoughts are with the victims and their families.

While this terrible violence occurred an ocean away, a very real fear casts a shadow here too. I appreciate Governor Hochul’s calls to increase state police presence at synagogues. As Mayor, I will do everything in my power to protect Jewish New Yorkers, as I will every faith community. The right to worship in peace is sacred.

Hello aunty, when did I ever speak against SKY?

I only shared his stats and said that he has been a complete flop in the last 9 innings and doesn’t deserve a place in the playing XI.

In fact, I was actually praising Surya, saying that the only way he could save his spot was by getting into the good books of Vishwaguru, and he really did that.

As a Yadav, it was a smart move, because such moves are usually known to be made by Brahmins, not Yadavs.

Just like you are saving your job by doing biased journalism in favor of Vishwaguru, and you too are a Brahmin.

I am proud of Surya. Now, no one can remove him unless he himself wants to step down.

Got it, aunty?

A man came to our colony and asked for money in return for showing the snake and opening the basket, from house to house. I was, I think, 12 or 13 at the time.

One of our neighbourhood uncles refused to give him money and asked him to leave 'rudely'.

The next day, the uncle found the same snake in his house. Apparently, it was a common practice of such people. But that uncle was a bit rowdy; he tracked down that snake guy, dragged him back to the colony and gave him a good beating in front of everyone.

The snake guy kept shouting 'paap lagega' "saanp poore parivar ko kaat jayega" and other things. But Uncle was adamant. After some slaps, he was asked to leave, and for years, that snake guy never came to our colony again.

That day, I realised how important it is to fight the pseudoscience and superstition in a very 'rowdy' and rude way. Uncle could have been 'humble' and could have asked him to leave with 'love', but that guy would have scammed the entire colony again and again for years.

Whenever you see something happening around you that is rooted in pseudoscience or superstition, be upfront and direct. That is the only way to take our country ahead rationally.

Indian team refused to take the Asia cup trophy because Mohsin Naqvi was supposed to hand it over to them, and Naqvi is a Pakistani.

But they played 3 matches with Pakistani players in this tournament.

Koi sense hai?

This binary of all non hijabis are séx workers is exactly why nobody can convince me that hijab is not oppressive. It's not a choice if it's washed down your throat that without the hijab you're náked/dressed like a séx worker. All other opinions are irrelevant

One the richest, most powerful & well connected businessman in the world is fighting small independent you-tubers. A man who owns one of India's biggest media conglomerates is discovering that news content creators with one camera - broadcasting from one room - have one thing ....that money cant buy.
During India's First Emergency (besides the notable exception of @IndianExpress) - it were the smaller independent publications that stood their ground & gave Indira Gandhi a tough time. Publications like #Himmat & #Pratap didn't bend despite hundreds of journalists being sent to jail & courts being a mute spectator.
Today, 50yrs down the line - as history repeats itself, we at @thedeshbhakt are proud to keep that tradition alive along with a select group of individuals. The tradition of questioning people in power & not bending to money & muscle.
On the 16th of September - a Delhi Court passed an ex-parte injunction order against nine journalists & organisations (including @paranjoygt & @t_d_h_nair) who had been regularly reporting on Adani.
While such orders have become mundane in New India - what set this apart was a 'John Doe' on the 10th defendant. This basically allowed Adani to make a list of people that IT THOUGHT was making 'defamatory content' against it - these people were not even NAMED in the defamation suit.
Now independent youtubers & publications such as @ravish_journo, @ajitanjum, @newslaundry, @dhruv_rathee, @abhisar_sharma and yours truly have been given 36 hours to delete over 200 pieces of content - without any opportunity to contest this order.
Whatever your political leanings may be - know that this is now beyond politics and this silencing will impact everyone.
We take this move as a compliment and this is testament to the power & credibility that small independent Digital Publications have been able to garner. We thank each and every member of the Deshbhakt family for their trust and support.
We do not know when OR IF the higher courts will reverse this alarming order - but we will carry on our mission to punch up, question everything & fight for our Democracy.
As for the legal angle - there is a laundry list of businessmen who tried to silence journalists using the courts - usually it didn't end very well for them.
