Beyond her sadness what’s also disappointing is, people on X with significantly more privilege than her keep posting pics of random half functioning airports as a sign of growth not realizing how we have failed in utilizing our median youth, this century.
Nobody asked for your forgiveness, @narendramodi. They asked you to stop the witch hunt. A 15-year-old has lost her home. A widowed mother has lost her peace. History knows the difference.
BJP leader Ramesh Bidhuri mocked the students at Jantar Mantar by calling them unemployed sons and daughters of "puncture-walas."
For PM @narendramodi , such dehumanising remarks about Muslims aren't a cultural shock. But abusive language is.
Why is everyone so silent on the rape and murder case of the 15-year-old girl in Hailakandi, Assam?
It was as heinous a crime as the 2012 Nirbhaya case. 💔
She is not a criminal. She isn't carrying a weapon. She is just an Adivasi woman fighting for Jal-Jangal-Jameen and her constitutional rights.
This is how she is being treated. There are countless others facing the same. Why is nobody talking about them??

Sexual violence against women does not occur in a vacuum. It thrives in a culture that insists women must live within moral boundaries defined by men, and that when they dare to cross those boundaries, men are entitled to punish them.
He deliberately made that video to blow this out of proportion. It was aimed at his patriarchal supporters with daughters, to keep them in check. So in future no such youth-led protest arises & parents remain apprehensive. It was meant to scare women off from voicing themselves.
To all the young girls being targeted right now and young Ruchika, I need you to know:
1. You have done nothing wrong. You have stood up for your future, you exercised your democratic right, and you showed up!
2. These attacks are coordinated, many of these accounts targeting you have existed and been cultivated solely for the purpose of targeting dissenting voices. THEY ARE NOT REAL. THEIR WORDS ARE NOT REAL. Do not believe them. They don’t define you.
3. No matter how hated these coordinated attack might make you feel. You are very loved. There is a real world out there that does not believe a single word they say.
4. Your dissent, your energy, your courage, your defiance, your sheer love for the country is the beating heart of our nation. The whole nation sees it.
5. The whole nation also sees what they are doing to you. They are seeing how they are bullying you. They are seeing how fragile their egos are. They are seeing the small men, in their big jobs, and how their sense of self is hinging on harassing you and beating you down into submission. The world is seeing them! You are not alone.
Today they are doing this to you, and and for the last decade, since I was your age 19, they have been doing this to me. I SEE YOU, and we are with you. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
If you ever need help, please reach out +91 9811867474. 🤍
And to all the trolls - you are a disgrace to this country, YOU predictable filth.
This video breaks my heart..
Dear @BJP4India
Your witchhunt against Ruchika, threats to ki!! & r@pe her, forcing her to apologise on camera, exposes your "culture".
You parade her video as your victory&pride but we promise it'll come to haunt you.
Solidarity Ruchika ✊ & rage!
Sorry what is this “humari betiyan” nonsense? They’re equal citizens asking for accountability, not your property to be harassed/forgiven for non crimes at your will
Uncles who cheered rapists, mob-lyncings, encounters, ethinc cleansing, bulldozers and dehumanizing of minorities are sad about abusive language in protests 💔
Hey friends, the IFF team has been working incredibly hard, but we've got to be honest about where we stand this month: we've got ₹4,90,682.81 in income against ₹9,76,575.77 in expenses (₹1,26,575.77 already spent + ₹8,50,000 in upcoming salaries), leaving us with a ₹4,85,892.96 deficit.
We haven't paid our colleagues their salaries yet, so if you're able to chip in, it would truly mean the world, no amount is too small, and even sharing this helps.
Thank you for being in our corner.

Hyderabad cops are checking phones of teenagers having chai because they might be committing crimes on phones. Checking social media posts and WhatsApp chats, where have you seen this before? - Kashmir. What happens to others will happen to you tomorrow

Dear @GitanjaliAngmo, Invoking Sanatana Dharma while ignoring Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s fundamental critique of caste within Hindu social order presents only part of the picture. If the message is about equality and Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, why not celebrate the Bhakti saints, Kabir, Ravidas, Tukaram and others, who challenged caste, ritual hierarchy and social exclusion? India’s civilisational strength lies in its struggles for equality, not in romanticising oppressive structures.
