happy to share something i’ve been building (and obsessing over) for the last couple months: 🚨 policyradar.in — a daily dashboard for people who care about Indian policy, but hate tracking it. 🧵Here’s what’s new:

He can't broker ceasefire between Kuki and Maeiti in Manipur for past 3 years and his supporters think he has any say between US and Iran..really . Like really ????

You are brazenly cutting trees as old as 200 years for Kumbh Mela in Nashik…Transplantation is a joke…

No other regime has been so cruel to ordinary citizens, making them stand in a queue almost on a permanent basis.

It is already near impossible in most cities to organise public events that are not pro the ruling party. Curbing social media effectively ends all public discussion in India

Padosi ne war rukwa di papa.

This tweet is for the history books. This will be archived and revisited for generations on how institutions in India were hollowed out in the Modi years.

Cutting down a 100-year-old banyan tree in Nashik for Kumbh preparations is not development, it is environmental destruction. The felling of heritage trees like banyan and peepal along the Godavari River is deeply concerning. Faith should not come at the cost of nature. 🌳

The FIR, filed by her relative Kiran Napte, alleges that the park operated without adequate safety equipment, professional guidance, or emergency precautions. Ms. Napte remains in serious condition. Police Inspector Sandesh Kenjale confirmed that an investigation into the management's negligence is underway to determine the extent of the safety violations at the tourist spot. #ShirurNews #WaterParkAccident #PuneCrime #SafetyNegligence #MaharashtraNews

Most of you want to know what all transpired in between the ‘account withheld in India’ and the final restoration of my account. So here’s a quick summary. Please share so that others can take the same recourse, if need be, coz the govt seems in no mood to spare any content critical of it. On 19th March at 12:23 AM my account was withheld in India. Very next day, I had a conversation with @SupriyaShrinate and she told me that 12 other accounts met the same fate. She did a live session and addressed media the very same day. That highlighted the issue. The wire, Quint and alt news reported the news. I swiftly responded to MeitY on 19th March at 4:16 AM enquiring the cause that led to this removal under section 69A. ( Haven’t received any response yet ) Next I consulted with @NakulGandhi511 upon the recommendation of @iArpitSpeaks as he had earlier met with similar fate and got his account back. Nakul sir guided me for a week and introduced me with @apar1984 who runs @internetfreedom . He took over my case pro bono ( for free ) and guided me accordingly. On 1st of April I finally filed my writ petition. The notary, wakalatnama was all new to me coz I had never been in court till this date but barring that I had to do nothing. Every response, every draft was given to me by @namanbasoyaa who works with Apar sir. I got my listing on 6th of April with the honr Judge Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav. He didn’t even waste 10 mins and ordered a restore provided that the posts that warranted an action against me shall stay unblocked until the committee level hearing of MeitY ( It’s not scheduled yet ) In fact I still don’t have the blocking order that necessitated such an action against me that is ultra vires of the constitution. Section 69A doesn’t permit govt to remove pre-emotive post based on speculation and that’s exactly what govt effectively did by withholding my entire account not some posts. Also big thanks to my followers who stood with me. Some used VPN just to stay connected. I’m indebted to all of you and IFF and Apar sir in particular. Taking this opportunity to urge the govt to remove ban from other accounts as well folllwing the same precedence used in mine and @DrNimoYadav ’s case. FoS needs to be supreme. Taking down post is wrong in itself but an entire account that took years of cultivating is just brutal and uncalled for. May better sense prevails. Peace ✌🏽

@insaneani_ of course

@romaticize Plus the fall of amreeka

Thinking of how those 50-page documents we in the public policy space are writing, or those active/retired bureaucrats we're calling to roundtables are going to help people whose right to vote is being snatched away. Don't have answers.

The President of India is a tribal from Odisha, the Chief Minister is a tribal, and even the Tribal Welfare Minister is from Odisha। yet the struggles tribal communities continue to be ignored. In Sijimali (Niyamgiri), Kashipur, Lanjigarh, Balda, Koraput, Rayagada, Kalahandi, Sundargarh, Keonjhar, Mayurbhanj, Jajpur, and other mining areas, forests are destroyed, lands are taken, and lives are displaced. Those who fight for their rights are silenced, their voices suppressed, and their struggle criminalized. Protecting Jal, Jungle, and Zameen has now become a “crime.” Being a tribal, I strongly condemn this. Development cannot come at the cost of humanity. It’s time to listen, respect rights, and ensure justice. #PeoplesLeader #Congress #pottangi #CLP #Congress

Want to know the names of the govt officials in Andhra Pradesh on whose watch 16 people died due to adulterated milk? Well, you can’t anymore - the Data Protection law has amended the RTI Act to prevent disclosure of all personal information, including names of govt officials, under section 8(1)(j).

Most Indians know more about what’s happening in Pakistan than in Manipur. Nothing exposes Godi media more than that.

My urgent message to Mr @narendramodi ji. Why are you still silent on today's killing of innocent 2 babies while sleeping with her mother in midnight with rockets by Kuki militants? Manipur is not a part of India? Manipur deserves justice now. No Justice, No Rest. 😢🙏

This is a naked attempt to end free speech entirely in India. The government seeks to curtail our fundamental right as citizens of this great nation to write & disseminate "socio-political, economic or cultural" material. If they prevail, our democratic experiment will be over.

fine but we keep medal
