I can't remember a more important election than this - it is precisely at the lowest tide of hope on stopping the fascists is when we must push back the hardest. No matter how inevitable it seems, GO OUT THERE AND VOTE.

[Vinay Aravind @vinayaravind]

Listen, it's simple. Go and vote. Don't vote for the fascists. Vote for whoever is most likely to defeat your local fascist. Don't do privileged bullshit like NOTA. Tell this to your family and friends as well. It looks insurmountable, but we owe it to ourselves to try our best.

A year ago, when we started @southpkcommons India, we were also at '-1.' One guy (me), sitting at a desk (in an office that wasn't ours). Now our community has 70+ members, portfolio is growing, and we’re synonymous with open exploration for the best in the ecosystem!

As a runner, this feels like a long sprint. It feels like we put in enormous effort, to get through every kilometer. But it also feels so good to see, how far we have come in just a year. I'm excited about the talent-density we have here, and that a bunch of these explorations will result in the creation of generational companies from India!

One question that I do keep getting all the time is — "What do people do at SPC? Why do people want to be here? What does it actually feel like to be part of this community?" Since, show >>> talk, let's hear it straight from some of our explorers.

He’s clearly been loved—pristine coat, heart-melting brown eyes, chompable ears 🥺 Potty trained, learned commands in a day, sooo trainable! I truly can’t foster: my health is awful, I have a cat & a tiny house. It’s breaking my heart. He just wants love 💔 #bangaloreadoption

@karthikb351 @paytminsider @sshreyas Couldn't be more proud of everything we built together 💯

[Dipankar @Dipankar_cpiml]

Remember the horrific Tuticorin police firing in 2018 that killed 13 people demanding closure of a polluting Sterlite unit? The Madras High Court today called the firing a premeditated act carried out at the behest of an industrialist to crush the protest.

The privileged in India across the political spectrum are blind to how their “amenities” and “development” are built on the bones of the marginalised. You don’t see the land acquired, the homes demolished, the hawkers chased away, the trees cut.

[Buffalo Intellectual @ProfRavikantK]

hope this ends the bogus claim of elite savarns that India cant progress cuz poor rural (marginalized) r stupid & sell votes for liqor, cash etc-- its that same group which has humbled a powerful regime backed by billionaires & legitimized by media!

A legal marriage, does NOT require to conform to religious doctrine. You can have marriages in law. with no religious sanction whatsoever. It may even be a religious sin, but will still be a legal marriage.

I hope that whenever (and if) there is a reckoning @aroonpurie pays the price for the evil that he has overseen. If I go into what he deserves it would probably be a ToS violation on Twitter.

2015: FTII under Gajendra Chauhan slaps disciplinary action against a student, Payal Kapadia. She had boycotted classes& led the 4-month long protest against Chauhan. Later, FTII cut her grant.
