The hypocrisy of media in Karnataka!
RESULT : Two innocent women are dead. BJP Karnataka twitter account communalises one incident and spreads more fear, doubt, confusion and hate in the society.
Suggestions for new NDA:
NADDA: National Aspirational Democratic Digital Alliance
MONDIA: Modified National Democratic Inspiring Alliance
ANDA: Again NDA
SANDAS: Strong Agile National Democratic Ally System
GANDA: Governance Assured NDA
RSS, a personified poisonous extract of Brahmanism, does everything in its capacity to keep every pillar of democracy under its thumb, maintaining exclusivity in its power structure, would want Bahujans to be part of its hideous project? 3/4
Condemnations against assassination attempts on Chandrashekhar Azad
Opening fire on Azad in broad day light is an act of casteist crime. As an Ambedkarite, Azad has been raising his voice against caste injustice in the nation, particularly Uttar Pradesh - a state largely populated by Dalits.
As a Dalit Political figure, Azad being exposed to bullets exposes the underlying issue of rampant casteism and failure of law and order in the state. The CM of UP (@CMOfficeUP) must probe with utmost priority and police officials (@UPpolice) must conduct an effective investigation.
I demand the arrest of caste fanatic gun men and wish my brother Azad (@BhimArmyChief) a speedy recovery.
The irony - what humanity looks like 2023!
Rescue teams of a tourist submersible carrying 4 millionaire and 1 billionaire went missing during a dive to the wreck of the Titanic, and a rescue teams of a refugee boat carrying 800 poor people looking for a better life for their children.

“The protection of the Muslim minority in a Hindu majority India is worth mentioning. If I had a conversation with PM Modi, who I know well, part of my argument would be that if you don’t protect the rights of ethnic minorities in India, there is a strong possibility that India at some point starts pulling apart. That would be contrary to the interests of India” ~ Barack Obama

Well done Karnataka government. We need to see much more reforms in police and judiciary. Upliftment of public schools and hospitals have to be the priority. Hope to see Karnataka become the ideal role model state for India.
Karnataka Govt fulfills a few of the “ideological guarantees”
- scrapped the unconstitutional anti-conversion law.
- reversed textbook changes by “patriots”. Lessons of reformers like Savitribai Phule, Babasaheb & Nehru are back.
- repealed the anti farmer APMC Act amendments
Karnataka farmers are staging a protest demanding that the state govt withdraw BJP’s amendments brought to Land Reforms Act, APMC Act, & anti-cow slaughter Act
We stand w/ our #farmers & expect Congress to fulfil its manifesto promises by pulling back all 3 anti-farmer changes
Why isn't this being talked about as much as live-in relationships and interfaith marriages/relationships are talked about? Where is the outrage?

Based on alleged "#lovejihad" cases, open declarations were made on social media that all Muslims would be driven out of the state. This comes after reports that 42 Muslim families had fled Purola on the 28th.
Source: Reports from Hindustan & other papers on the 30th of May.
In the last 2 weeks, up to 10 towns — Purola, Uttarkashi, Mori, Naugaon, Barkot, Chinyalisaur, Dunda, Damta, Netwar and Sankri — have seen strikes/hate rallies calling for Muslims to be denied shops, for extra “verification”, or simply for them to be expelled.
📢Ongoing Violence Alert| #Uttarakhand
We are deeply concerned about the ongoing situation in Uttarakhand, where news reports describe explicit calls to drive Muslims out of the state.
Activists on the ground are raising alarm over what they say is approaching ethnic cleansing*
The number of people defending the Manusmriti AND denying the right for the minor rape victim to abort her fetus in the same breath is why all this is problematic. No wonder these people are justifying that the child must have a child that has been conceived from a violent crime like rape.
Even if the book ceases to exist the ideas that have taken root may not go it seems 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
