An estimated 130,000,000 people were removed from India's voter rolls this year.
It's the largest amount of people who have had voting rights revoked in human history, with many claiming it's government censorship.
Hindi is such a complex language to learn if you don't grow up speaking it. Each number from 1 to 99 has its own unique name, you need to learn how to gender nonsentient objects, and some translations don't make sense, for example instead of "fascist" we say "pradhan mantri"
Justice Prasad today in Delhi HC, has REFUSED to pass any order today in plea seeking the release of Ranka and Das. The following are oral exchanges between bar and bench.
At 27 and 31, they are both Gen Z by widely accepted definitions. But more importantly since when did generational labels become a matter for judicial determination? Surely the HC has more substantive questions to address than whether someone qualifies as Gen Z!
Court: What are your ages?
27 and 31 years, Chimni responds.
Court: Then you are not genZ. What age of people are millennials? It was student protest, Children were there but now its another cause. People remain same but cause is changed. Next question is who are you? What are you? What is your association? What is purport of the association? When there is apprehension of breach of peace and tranquility, all this questions will assume importance.

all religions are misogynistic. i genuinely don't understand why you people get so offended by this. no religion can ever be fundamentally feminist when its foundations are rooted in patriarchal values. and if a system isn't feminist, then it ultimately reinforces misogyny.
i thought so too growing up, but theyre very creative with how they find out caste, eg, “pura naam batao” and when the surname isnt a dead giveaway “ye kahan ke hote hain, aaplog haryanvi hain? south se? abc caste hote hain na?” so the person has to clarify without being direct.
My dear friends, please, I hope to demand your absolute attention to this matter:
In 2018, my junior from St. John’s Medical College, Bengaluru, Dr. Randall Sequeira (middle in the pic), trekked up a steep, bauxite-rich plateau in Odisha to hold a monsoon health camp in the indigenous Kutiya Kondh village of Kutrumali.
In a piece he wrote then titled "Kutrumali’s Demons," Randall described sleeping under a dripping school roof in freezing fog, borrowing utensils from a local health worker to cook khichdi, and waking up at 6 AM to a line of tribal mothers. He wrote with heartbreak about treating malnourished toddlers with protruding bellies and visible ribs, listening to stories of stillbirths and chronic fevers, while noticing the shiny new solar lights installed by a mining conglomerate eyeing the aluminium ore beneath the villagers' feet.
Comparing his small medical team to hobbits sheltering in the night, Randall worried about the outside forces coming for that fragile village.
Randall stayed with the tribal/ adivasi community to serve them. After St. John’s and an MD in Internal Medicine from SMS Jaipur, he gave up every comfort of urban medicine to live in Kalahandi, recognizing that clinical prescriptions are meaningless when indigenous communities are stripped of their forests, water, and dignity.
On the night of October 16, Odisha police picked up Dr. Randall Sequeira and Dalit activist Laxman Naik at 11 PM from his home in Bhawanipatna. A gentle physician who has spent years trekking up hills to save tribal children is now locked in Rayagada sub-jail under frivolous but draconian charges (attempt to murder, dacoity), simply for standing with Adivasis peaceful protesting the mining of their sacred hills in Sijimali and Kutrumali.

Odisha Govt. said it will cut down forests to connect tribal villages. But it was a way to bypass green laws and fast track London based Vedanta’s, and Adani's mining plans. Local organisations estimate that around 45 villages depend on these hills and would be affected.

The state has answered with repression rather than dialogue. In the last three years, at least 43 police cases have been filed and over a hundred Adivasis and Dalits, both women and men, have been incarcerated in Odisha jails. For example, from In March and april 2026, 8, 2026, to April 8, 2026, within one month, 24 people were sent to jail, 217 were made accused, and the number of “others” total 1,140. An activist who was not named in the original FIRs, but has since been implicated in about 12 cases, so that bail in one case is followed by arrest in another. This pattern of capture and releases have been used to crush rational dissent.
Dr. Randall understood that being a good doctor means understanding that prescriptions cannot compensate for the denial of land rights, that surgery cannot undo displacement and that no medical can substitute for the basic infrastructure a government has failed to provide.

To my fellow medical fraternity, and every citizen with a conscience: a kind physician who embodies the highest ethics of our profession is being criminalized to clear the way for bauxite mining. Please do not let his voice be buried in a sub-jail.
Amplify this, demand due process, and demand the immediate release. Please sign in this form to show solidarity: https://t.co/cgLIoEXExG
