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

Asshole, your entire Brahmin-UC ilk sucked our Bahujan blood for centuries. Should we sing paens to you?
And what benefits of reservation? Applies to less than 2% of jobs in India.
Justice would be when you all are stripped of your generational wealth and privileges as reparation.

It is so sad that Hindu religious occasions no longer give spiritual peace. They have become synonymous with anti-Muslim hatred, and Hindus are allowing it.

[s @yoongienthusias]

going through CAA NRC archives of my own and man, that was a different time, the hostility and the barbarism seen then, you had no support, muslims were hounded and brutalised in the streets while the news celebrated it, it was so so incredibly isolating

“Not seen anything like this”

Not a single bullet fired on protesters and 22 muslims were shot dead in just UP for protesting against CAA.

Horrible! Part of a dance troupe, trying to return home to take an exam, Assamese woman later found dead next to the railway tracks. She had messaged friends about feeling unsafe, surrounded by men in the train.

[Gaurav Gogoi @GauravGogoiAsm]

I urge the Hon’ble Union Railway Minister @AshwiniVaishnaw to intervene in the death of Himashri Boro.

A young woman from Assam was travelling alone from Visakhapatnam to Guwahati on the Vivek Express (22503) when she went missing on October 6. Her body was recovered the next day beside the railway track in Andhra Pradesh.

According to family and media reports, she felt unsafe because of the men in the compartment. She was harassed, and obscene gestures were made towards her.

Police suspect she may have fallen from the moving train, while her family alleges foul play.

Her case raises serious questions about the safety of women while travelling on Indian Railways. The NCRB’s Crime in India data records 488 offences against women and children, and 1,422 offences against the human body, registered by the Government Railway Police (GRP) across India in 2024.

Despite government initiatives regarding safety, a young woman who felt unsafe on a train never reached home.

[Tarun Gautam @TARUNspeakss]

If Railway Police had acted when they were called, had local police tried a bit, had any fellow-traveller intervened, she would have been alive today.

What an unsafe shithole of a country for women.

[bhargav @bhargawvv]

this fucking country, these fucking men. hope y’all are burnt alive. every single predator and every single person who defends them. I wish nothing but death to you. in the most painful manner

Someone eating non-veg on Tuesday will hurt more sentiments than this.

[The Times Of India @timesofindia]

A 20-year-old Assam college student travelling alone on a train after a dance competition had told her family she felt unsafe in a coach surrounded by inebriated men, and had also shared a video of the compartment with a friend, before contact with her was lost in the early hours of October 6. Her body was found near railway tracks in Andhra Pradesh’s Srikakulam district on Wednesday.

WhatsApp uncles enjoyed the fruits of independence without actually fighting for it. Cushy govt jobs, pay commissions, low inflation, post-liberalisation opportunities, pension. And now they sit in their cosy chairs, calling battered youth anti-national 🙄 #JantarMantar

[rick @chickenalakiev]

atp bjp is just a few more protests away from pulling a jallianwala bagh. sadly, people will be supporting that too.

[babeganoush @lilGoody2shoes]

It says a lot about chief justice of India that he seems to think of the People of India only in terms of insects rather than humans deserving of dignity

[𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒂🧋 @iamdisha07]

Suddenly, the government has drones, facial scanning, high-tech surveillance and an extremely heavy police presence to suppress protesters But where is all this when it comes to women's safety??
