Glad to have served as a consultant to @ambedkar_center and @indians_seattle on analysing and drafting this landmark ordinance with Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant’s office.

This is history in the making; will create a wave of impact and set a precedent.

[Ambedkar International Center (AIC) @ambedkar_center]

AIC has worked closely with Councilmember @cmkshama, @indians_seattle, @EqualityLabs & @aanausa to help draft the proposed ordinance.

This proposal builds on AIC’s efforts to end caste-based discrimination and fight for justice for victims of caste discrimination.

Cockroach Janta Party, Gen Z electorate, and the Engineering of Fragmented Opposition!

@JAMBUDVIPASpeak मेरे समाज में एक बड़ी समस्या है। कोई भी “जय भीम” बोलता है और संविधान की किताब दिखाता है, उसे बिना सोचे-परखे मेरे समाज के लोग तुरंत उसे अपना नया बाप बना लेते हैं।

[Sumit Anand @sumitnomics]

This Gen Z Cockroach movement is nothing but bullshittery. It took only one insult against them to provoke a unified response on social media.
But everyday Dalits are humiliated, terrorised, discriminated, killed, raped or sexually assaulted for mundane reasons.

How many youth came out in their support?
In light of recent suicides among SC/ ST students, how many non-SC/ST youth-led protests have emerged in response to these incidents?

This is what the Cockroach movement is — a liberal elite f*ck noise!

[Sumit Anand @sumitnomics]

For decades, SC/ST students have been raising their voices against the incomplete implementation of reservations in educational institutions, alongside continued discrimination in entrance and evaluation processes, and everyday harassment and discrimination on campuses.

मेरे समाज में एक बड़ी समस्या यह है। कोई भी “जय भीम” बोलता है और संविधान की किताब दिखाता है, उसे बिना सोचे-परखे मेरे समाज के लोग तुरंत उसे अपना नया बाप बना लेते हैं।

My two cents on the CJP is - it lacks the ideology, vision and the organization to take on the Indian state & the rot within Indian society. It talks of social justice but they themselves are unaware of what they mean by it. A social vision w/o uttering “caste” or “Muslims” ?

[Ravi Ratan @scribe_it]

CJP walas are BJP walas

And the liberal shows his true colours after all

He is clearly limping. This is horrific. But then nothing surprises in this beleaguered country of ours anymore.

[Ekta Chauhan @ekta2993]

Decent working wages.

[Zoha. @zohaaa]

It puts food on his family’s table and keeps a roof over their heads. Any job is better than posting lame takes online for a couple of dollars from a blue tick.

Ex-Congress leader replaces ex-Congress leader as BJP chief in Punjab.

[M.K.Stalin @mkstalin]

Strongly condemn the Enforcement Directorate raids directed against former Kerala Chief Minister Com. @pinarayivijayan.

Such actions once again raise serious concerns over the growing pattern of central agencies being weaponised against Opposition leaders.

Incidentally, this also exposes the hollowness of the reckless allegations made by some Congress leaders who repeatedly questioned why Pinarayi Vijayan had “not yet been targeted by the BJP”!
