Sharjeel and Umar weren't confined to delhi. they travelled extensively across the country, speaking at universities, public meetings and protests, explaining the CAA-NRC and urging people to organize. their speeches reached millions online as well, so much so that those very

The Kafkaesque nightmare continues. Now, the fact you have land records from before 1947 (mind you, a lot of people were landless then), isn't proof that you lived in India and would have qualified for Indian citizenship.

Set the courts on fire.

Fuck yourself honestly. Demand institutional reforms on courts or just don't do anything

[Srishti @seekingsrishti]

Alarming! This essentially blocks all media reporting on India’s supreme court, making it further unaccountable.

the ambit of this protest finds people at different levels of political education and radicalization. for a large chunk this is the first instance of public dissent. therefore, for those in later stages of critical engagement, it is important to STOP libbing out for decorum

@CJP_for_India do you intend on putting a statement account that disavows the fascist islamophobic violence of the carceral state or are muslims only good for signposting about secularism

[ردا @talalasadist]

i need muslims to stop throwing their weight behind/being visible in these spaces as the secular monkey of the republic, they will not put their bodies on line to protect you, they will not even mention you in a public speech, you solely exist to further the fiction of hindustan

[MH12 Fan Account🔻 @mynameislacan]

A LOT of what the broader public is seeing in response to protests today — passport confiscation, media slander in overdrive, mass surveillance, wanton police violence — exists so openly because it was normalised and to a great extent celebrated during 2019-2021.

Detaining 2500 & demolishing homes is collective punishment of Kashmiris. We must protest & resist police brutality, but please remember Kashmiris still live under unthinkable state violence. Our experience isn't even close, what shocks us now was perfected in Kashmir for decades

i investigated use of high-end AI surveillance tech by Lucknow Police not long ago.

same “smart policing” playbook across India—hand over essential policing functions to PRIVATE companies, who channel OUR taxpayer money into silencing democratic dissent on the state’s behalf.

[The Indian Express @IndianExpress]

More than 2,500 people have been detained across Kashmir following the killing of a police head constable in Anantnag, while the homes of two suspected local terrorists were demolished during the crackdown.

Chief Minister Omar Abdullah cautioned against house demolitions and mass detentions, saying such measures would not help improve the situation in Jammu and Kashmir. PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti also criticised the action, calling it "collective punishment" with no place in a democracy.

We have been told by Court and govt that Aadhar is not proof of residence or identity or citizenship or anything else.
So is this the real use of biometric and other data collected under Aadhar?
State surveillance, criminalisation of freedoms, police access to data of all dissenting citizens.
Techies led by Nandan Nilekani and RS Sharma, you played a role in the making of this police state.
And don’t forget the other much touted tech enabled convenience- Digiyatra at the airport. It is premised on facial recognition data. It’s a private entity.
Who gets your data and why?

आंदोलन को रोकने के लिए मेट्रो बंद करना बैड आइडिया है। इससे लोग कार चलाएँगे और E20 को लेकर आंदोलन होने लगेगा।
