Sadly in India, a lot of noise has to be made in order to bring attention to Dalit/Tribal persecution.
Be it Rohit Vemula, Payal Tadvi, Kanchipuram Roja and now Kajal. The media conveniently ignores them before we make noise.

BJP thought to use Assam to hit at Muslims. More Hindus were caught in NRC.
They tried to "cheat" with CAB. Assam went nuclear on their ass. Protests started nationwide.
They thought they could use police to crush protests. Nation exploded in fury. And growing.
Your move, BJP.
India has enacted the functional equivalent of Israel's Nation-State law, relegating Muslim citizens to second class civil status. This is horrible. https://t.co/lwAt5plTS2
.@bainjal: "As students turn into the country's collective conscience, the Congress remains active on Twitter. What a colossal letdown." https://t.co/ovSbefby2m
BJP would like Indians to believe Congress is instigating students against Citizenship Amendment Act. Cong hasn’t been able to organise one national protest over 6 quarters of a falling economy. You really want people to believe Cong is capable of orchestrating national anger!
In 1971/2 India took in 90 lakh refugees from East Pakistan. Many if not most were Hindus who had been driven out by the Pak army.
Not once did Indira Gandhi turn this into a Hindu-Muslim
domestic issue.
Instead, she broke up Pakistan.
That’s what statesmanship looks like.
The Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi presents himself as an ascetic economic visionary. He is also a hero of anti-Muslim bigots. https://t.co/TIbhoTWiwC
Fascism is growing in India. For an exhaustive and detailed explainer on how India got here, read this New Yorker piece by Dexter Filkins. It’s also a profile of @RanaAyyub, a brave and pioneering journalist. https://t.co/9bCxyrGd78
This is such a thoughtful gesture.

Moments like these make this University what it is. Trolls can say whatever.
More power to all the students of this beautiful country. (1/2)
Left calls for human chain in Kerala of over 600 km from Kasargod in the north to Thiruvananthapuram in the south on January 26th 2020 to protest against CAA. More than 3 million people expected to participate. #CAAprotest
