A Dalit boy was killed by boys from upper caste families after he prayed in a temple in Amroha, UP. Police is denying it rather suggesting it looks as a ‘fight’ between boys. This is how historically caste operates in India and continue to do today.

The matter of who is paying for migrant workers to get home is before the Supreme Court. Here's the proof that there is no 85-15% cost sharing on tickets. Every worker I met on board this Shramik Train paid his own way, took loans, sold belongings to do so https://t.co/QWmpT933BX
It's time for every Indian to stand together & speak up in one voice.
#SpeakUpIndia
for our brothers & sisters struggling for survival;
for those whose voice has been silenced;
for those in despair & are fearful.
We are India.
Together we can make a difference.
