Dear Gen Z,
You may not know the glorious early years of Modi and Shah. Here's a brief history.
Haren Pandya was Modi's home minister when Modi was parachuted in as Gujarat CM in October 2001. Modi wasn't an MLA and had to win a seat within six months. He needed a safe one. Without it, he was sure to lose.
His eyes fell on Ellis Bridge, the safest BJP seat in Ahmedabad. Haren Pandya was its MLA. Modi asked him to step aside. Pandya's reply: "I'm ready to give this seat to anyone but Modi." He had known Modi for years.
Vajubhai Vala was asked to resign. He obliged, gave up his Rajkot seat, and Modi was in.
In March 2003, Haren Pandya went for his morning walk. He was found dead in his car. Five bullets. The story cooked up: terrorists from Hyderabad. It fell apart.
The truth is simple. Sohrabuddin Sheikh and his aide Tulsi Prajapati pulled the trigger. Sohrabuddin ran with Amit Shah's extortion racket. The man who gave the contract is no secret.
When the UPA took over, the CBI picked up the case. But by then Sohrabuddin and his wife were already dead. Tulsi Prajapati followed, killed in a fake encounter. And the man smiling next to Modi in that photograph? D.G. Vanzara. He carried out both killings.
The CBI had audio tapes of Amit Shah. Shah was arrested in July 2011, bailed on one condition: stay out of Gujarat. The case moved to Mumbai.
Judge Loya, an honest judge, had all the evidence before him. He summoned Amit Shah repeatedly. Shah never showed up, not once, even in Mumbai. Loya was about to order his arrest. Days later, Loya was dead, in Nagpur, at a colleague's daughter's wedding.
He had been offered ₹100 crore and the Chief Justiceship of the Bombay High Court for a favourable verdict. He refused to sell his conscience. He paid with his life.
There's more. Read. Remember. This is the gang sitting in the highest seats of power in our great nation.
The chronicle of violence at @AmitShah's orders has been written on the bodies of students.
We will hold you accountable for every pellet injury and gunshot wound.
For every student you hospitalised a hundred more will carry forward the vision of an equitable, democratic India.
You are the one who has harmed the future of our youth the most.
You allowed and encouraged the total capture and destruction of our education system - and protected every person responsible for it.
The students’ demands are clear:
1. Sack Dharmendra Pradhan.
2. Apologise to the students.
3. Take action against those who assaulted them.
आपने ही हमारे युवाओं के भविष्य को सबसे ज़्यादा नुकसान पहुंचाया है।
आपने न सिर्फ हमारी education system पर पूरा कब्ज़ा होने और उसे बर्बाद होने दिया, उसे बढ़ावा भी दिया - और इसके ज़िम्मे��ार हर व्यक्ति को संरक्षण दिया।
छात्रों की मांगें साफ़ हैं:
1. धर्मेंद्र प्रधान को पद से हटाएं।
2. छात्रों से माफ़ी मांगे।
3. छात्रों के साथ हिंसा करने वालों के ख़िलाफ़ कार्रवाई करें।
“The Narendra Modi government has responded to the students’ courage with cowardice and wanton cruelty, treating them not as inheritors of the future but as enemies of the nation.
The Modi government has not just degraded India’s education landscape but has also made a habit of acting with utter impunity, supreme self-delusion, and abject insensitivity.
If is our moral, political and constitutional duty to stand with students and safeguard their future.”
Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Smt. Sonia Gandhi Ji.
Today I am posting four videos of a brave, courageous, common Indian woman who has gone viral across India.
Why?
Because she did what most of us feel… but rarely say.
A political rally blocked the roads for hours. Commuters were stuck. Chaos everywhere. And this woman? She just wanted to pick up her child from school.
But when patience ran out, she stepped forward.
She questioned the system. She questioned politicians. She questioned the police.
And she asked the most powerful question:
“Who are you to block these roads? Just get out and clear them.”
No slogans. No politics. Just a citizen demanding accountability. We need this courage.We need more voices like hers.Because democracy doesn’t just survive on votes , it survives on citizens who dare to ask questions.

@agarwalronak BJP didnt. Our Armed forces are way secular and united than BJP can ever be. Modi demonizes Muslims openly in public speeches for votes. Its a fact.
@grok has created truth bomb havoc in right wing handles on X that constantly spread lies, fake narratives and glorifies RSS contibution in our freedom struggle 😂
We are using large high pressure die castings throughout the R2 body structure — relative to R1, three castings in the rear eliminate approximately 50 stampings and over 300 joints from the body assembly!
This was Dr Manmohan Singh taking on a US reporter on the Nuclear Deal.
Notice the clarity, the intellect & the class with which MMS answered the question.
Now compare this to Modi's answer today & feel sad about how low our standards have fallen to.
“Demonetisation was an organised loot, legalised plunder & a monumental disaster”
Dr Manmohan Singh had the vision & courage to say this in 2016
Farewell to the biggest hero of the revival of Indian Economy 🙏
