The SC/ST Atrocities Act is India’s own blasphemy law.
Like Pakistan’s blasphemy law, it is widely misused. Like blasphemy cases, allegations can destroy lives before guilt is established. Like blasphemy, you can be booked for “insulting” figures who have been dead for centuries. And like blasphemy laws, its language is dangerously broad.
But there is one difference: the scale is far greater. It is more draconian.
The number of people destroyed by system under the SC/ST Act is vastly greater than those prosecuted under Pakistan’s blasphemy laws.
No country can call itself civilized if it implements laws like blasphemy and SC/ST Atrocity act.
Either reform it or abolish it. #StopMisuseOfScStAct
Accountability should be demanded, and fixed, without bias, without agenda. I repeat: Opposition no longer represents us, the people of India, it represents a clique of power-hungry brokers. Ye log Sarkar badalna chahte hain, System nahin.
My views with @PadmajaJoshi on @ndtv:
Arrest Abhijit Dipke for the Violent Protest on the 20th and 21st Nights
Numerous Students and Police Personnel were injured while he remained missing in Action
RT if you Agree!
..but nothing actually happens. What’s most disappointing is that not once has Myntra proactively updated me.
I always have to call to ask for an update, only to hear another excuse and another waiting period. No resolution, no accountability, and no ownership of the issue...
Very disturbing to see our Braveheart Commandoo from Para SF being asked to pay toll despite a letter of exemption
'I am not a beggar..... asking for what is written here.... please respond @nitin_gadkari' he says
Shameful and sad to treat our disabled War Heroes like this. Either honour the toll exemption letter or do not issue it
Request your intervention @DefenceMinIndia@rajnathsingh ji
Happy Republic Day 🇮🇳
Calcutta was the world's largest provider of skeletons for medical programs until 1980, exporting 60,000 human skeletons yearly
Guess who ran the largest hospice and orphanage in Calcutta at that time?
ये ‘यशोदा’ हैं, पूर्व में नाम हालिमा था। इनके नाना को 1992 के आस-पास रामपुर में कन्वर्ट कराया गया, फिर धन के लिए हत्या की गई। इनके मामा मिकी की हत्या हुई, चार मौसी, चार अन्य मामा कहाँ हैं, पता नहीं। 244 कमरों वाले मस्जिद-मदरसे में इनकी माँ के साथ चौदह वर्ष तक दुष्कर्म चलता रहा।
छोटी बहन को सर काट कर उपलों पर जला दिया, चार वर्ष की एक अन्य बहन का बलात्कार हुआ। इनकी माँ को किसी तरह इन्होंने बाहर निकाला। बाद में इनके साथ रेप हुआ, घुटनों से माँस काटा गया।
गुप्तांगों में बंदूक डाला गया, चाकू से यूटेरस तक को क्षति पहुँचाई गई, गले को इतना दबाया गया कि इनकी आवाज सही से नहीं निकलती। मैंने @officeofvijay1 द्वारा इनकी कहानी सुनने पर एक पॉडकास्ट किया, जो भयावह है। एक दोगले पत्रकार के पास दो वर्ष पहले गईं थीं, उसने मौलवी से लाख रुपए ले कर स्टोरी दबा दी।
@Uppolice@rampurpolice ने कल इसका संज्ञान ले कर कार्रवाई आरंभ की है। संभव है यह छांगुर बाबा टाइप का कुछ बड़ा विषय निकल आए जो उत्तर प्रदेश पुलिस ने क्रैक किया।
@myogiadityanath जी से आग्रह है कि इस पीड़िता को न्याय दिलाएँ और इस पूरे घटनाक्रम की, जो 1992-2024 मार्च तक चला है, उसकी पूरी जाँच हो।
From Bangladesh to West Bengal to Kashmir, the kiIIer is always the ‘same DNA’ quom, and the victims are always Hindu! But yeah, as per our seculars, and Supreme Court, THEY are the ‘insecure minority’ who need protection! #Pahalgam
My mind is filled with countless interactions with Shri Ratan Tata Ji. I would meet him frequently in Gujarat when I was the CM. We would exchange views on diverse issues. I found his perspectives very enriching. These interactions continued when I came to Delhi. Extremely pained by his passing away. My thoughts are with his family, friends and admirers in this sad hour. Om Shanti.
This Pakistani movie "The Legend Of Maula Jatt" to be released in India on October 2.
How can we allow this to happen? All is well between India & Pakistan? Pakistan sponsored terrorism is stopped?
We shouldn't let this movie be released in India.

Tirupati is not the only temple under attack. Here is Srisailam.
Srisailam is an ancient Shiva temple that has been mentioned in several Puranas. Hindus visited it for thousands of years.
Today, all you see are churches in this holy land. There is also a big cemetery a few hundred meters from the main temple.
