HI!!
Idk if anyone will actually see this as this is a very old account but I recently started an instagram and tik tok called The Pages of Amrit.
It’s about self-love, healing from trauma, being a master’s student and a service dog mom!
Please give it a look and follow!
In Ukraine, 573 children have been killed during 2 entire years of war.
In Gaza, 12,660 children have been killed by Israel in just 3 months.
And yet, the same International Criminal Court that was so quick to act for Ukraine won’t even lift a finger for Gaza.
South Africa’s closing statement:
-Each day, 247 Palestinians are being killed, 1 every 6 minutes
-48 mothers, 2 every hour
-117 children, 5 every hour
-Each day, 10 children will be amputated without anaesthetics
—Irish lawyer, Blinne Ni Ghralaigh
Today's ICJ hearing was devastating. Horror after horror, laid out in plain sight for all to see.
South Africa spoke for millions around the world desperate for this massacre to end — and put the UK & US government to shame for their deplorable silence, cowardice and complicity.
Before there was Jewish holocaust, there was African holocaust that lasted for 400 years. No one tells the Jews to forget their past, only Africans are told to forget their history and move on.
If Russia 🇷🇺, China 🇨🇳, or Iran 🇮🇷 came even close to the carnage Israel 🇮🇱 is leveling upon Gaza, the US wouldn’t hesitate to call it a genocide.
But when it’s Israel, anything goes.
This weekend, millions of people across the world are celebrating Diwali / Bandi Chhor Diwas. And in this same moment, we have millions taking the streets for the P@lest!nian people, demanding an immediate ceasefire against the brutality and gen0c!de taking place infront of our eyes.
In 1619, the sixth Sikh guru, Guru Hargobind Ji, alongside hundreds of political prisoners, innocent leaders of their communities, had been held without trial or any other legal process; jailed by brute force and held against their wishes. Upon his release, Guru Hargobind Ji requested that 52 Hindu princes who were political prisoners in the same fort be released along with him.
The Emperor of the time decreed that as many princes that could hold on to the hem of Guru Hargobind Ji’s shirt could be freed (which seemed like an impossible task) but Guru Hargobind Ji had a special cloak with multiple hems made, and every prisoner held on and left the gates at the same time. They all attained liberation.
As we celebrate Bandi Chhor Diwas, we remember the duty one has to advocate for the rights of not only oneself, but for all individuals facing unjust treatment. The word allyship gets thrown around a lot these days, but what does it really mean?
As you light your diwas and fireworks, take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of this moment. I hope that Sikhs around the world attain inspiration from the actions of Guru Hargobind Ji 404 years ago to stand unwavering for the freedom, rights and emancipation of others as well as our own.
CEASEFIRE
STOP THE GEN0CIDE
LOVE AND LIGHT FOR ALL HUMANITY

I met Nelson Mandela when he came to Toronto in 1990, just after his release.
My dad took me to see him and I got to meet him and say welcome. My dad said “this man will be remembered forever.”
That’s how yesterday felt with Zelenskyy. This man has met the weight of the moment.
The resignation of Liz Truss is a reminder of the disaster Conservative governments are for working people.
And a stark reminder that they will always put rich CEOs ahead of you and your family.
