Brahmins, especially Marathi brahmins, love the idea of a dictator. Mein kampf is one of the favourites of marathi brahmins, and they, very casually say "a few years" of dictatorship will fix india. Brahmanism thrives on indirect power over the dispossessed. +++

Sir, can we first start by assessing your role here? Who was in power when prof.Saibaba was first arrested? The already draconian UAPA was made unbelievably inhuman by the UPA government, through amendments in 2004, 2008 and 2013. Who was the home minister then?

6.7 million kids have nothing to eat for the entire day. read again. 6.7 million kids. Zero-food children in India stand at 19.3%, just behind Guinea's 21.8% & Mali's 20.5%. Bangladesh & Pakistan fare way better. But so what? We just had the world's costliest pre-wedding bash.

At least 30 companies — which donated a total of nearly Rs 335 crore to the BJP in the five previous financial years — have faced action by central agencies during the same period. Some of them even handed out chunkier donations in the months that followed the action.

In 2011, Maharashtra had 1368 govt hospitals. It's dwindled to 586 in 2021.

In 10 years, the number of Maharashtra's govt hospitals came down by 57%.

We're back to where we were in 1980.

And it gets worse....

[Buffalo Intellectual @ProfRavikantK]

a state that drops teargas from drones must be questioned

the "caste" of the farmers protesting must also be asked- how much land they own as a community & their equation w landless laborers, esp Dalits+ Muslims who they 'other'

calling out one doesnt mean endorsing the other.

Imagine prepackaging rice, dal and rancid oil for children as young as 5 years (or less) and adding hot water to it as part of their meal….When they were enjoying hot cooked meals at their anganwadis.

Can happen only when you ‘other’ children as ‘theirs’ and ‘ours’

Why would 95% of Indians marry within a western construct?

Reservation is not a poverty eradication drive but a reparative measure to bring the representation of the under-represented castes, period.
