My documentary, Longen Folk To Go On Pilgrimage, is an official selection at the 8th Kolkata People's Film Festival (March 31 to April 3). The film looks at various aspects of the Kanwar Yatra: from the religio-cultural to the socio-economic, from the environmental issues 1/2

@LiveLawIndia Students are assigned roll numbers for exams so that their identities aren't revealed to examiners, thereby eliminating any possibility of bias in evaluation. This submission by DU will take away from Muslim students their right to remain anonymous and to be evaluated on merit.

#BREAKING Delhi University submits before Delhi HC that those students who wish to celebrate Bakr-eid can inform the Dean, faculty of law and the exam will be rescheduled after July 4. The students will be informed of the new exam date atleast one week prior to the exam

The thing is, you all stayed quiet when Indian muslims were being called Pakistanis.

@Indian_Analyzer If he doesn't have a passport, what did he submit to the CBI court in 2012 in the fake encounter case? newindianexpress.com/india/2010/Nov…

BJP MP Nishikant Dubey: 🗣️ "As far as I know, Amit Shah doesn’t even have a PASSPORT. When asked, he tells: — As a minister, I have to work here. — Apart from governance, I only go where BJP can get VOTES."😂🔥 Not a single foreign trip in 12 years!

@pitamaha_b52862 How is wasting so much food not a crime in India?

देश की गरीबी और भुखमरी का जिमेदार कौन हो सकता है ।।। यरे yaar धर्म के नाम पर सब कुछ करो पर इस तरह 101 KG आम रस और 30 किंटल गन्ने का रस 😡 सोचों yaar किसी गरीब परिवार या फिर किसी भी आम आदमी के पेट में जाता तो कितनी दुवा आशीर्वाद मिलता 👍 कौन ऐसा धर्म कर्म इनको पकड़ा गया है yaar

@yogitabhayana Will his house or the temple be demolished? Because that's exactly what would happen if the perpetrator were Muslim.

UP के सहारनपुर में विजय पंडित नाम के पुजारी पर 10 वर्ष की बच्ची के साथ छेड़छाड़ का आरोप है। बच्ची मंदिर के पास खेल रही थी तभी पुजारी आया और अश्लील हरकतें करने लगा, शोर मचाने पर लोगों ने पकड़ लिया !!

@pradnyas The actual problem is the fourth F, which fanboy Prasoon Joshi brought to our notice: (Modi's) Fakeeri.

3F concerns!!? Stop this word play, you’re not teaching an MBA course.

@bahudari With what they're doing to the election process, i don't know if 2029 means anything. This govt has to be opposed, unambiguously, on the one agenda that brought it to power: Hindutva. Almost all its failures flow from its focus on implementing that agenda.

Those affected by CBSE & NEET will be the first time voters of 2029. What a chance for politicians to fight their cause & influence them with genuine work instead of empty promises & dirty tricks.

@ZakirAliTyagi It's like these guys spend all their time trying to work out ways in which to go after Muslims!

मुजफ्फरनगर पुलिस ने फूड ब्लॉगर अनस को गिरफ्तार कर जेल भेज दिया है, जेल भेजने की वजह जानकर आपको हैरानी होगी और लोकतंत्र भी वेंटिलेटर पर दिखेगा। अनस नामक फूड ब्लॉगर ने एक चिकन सेंटर का प्रचार करने के दौरान वीडियो में मुजफ्फरनगर के मशहूर चौराहे शिव चौक को दिखाया क्योंकि क्योंकि यह चौराहा मुजफ्फरनगर की पहचान से जुड़ा है। जैसे दिल्ली पर डॉक्यूमेंट्री के दौरान इंडिया गेट, जामा मस्जिद, लाल किला कुतुब मीनार और कमल मंदिर को दिखाया जाता है वैसे ही अनस ने अल यामीन चिकन सेंटर के फूड के प्रचार के लिए बनाई गई वीडियो में शुरुआत में ही मुजफ्फरनगर के शिव चौक को दिखाया था, शिव चौक को दिखाने के दौरान उसकी वीडियो में एक मंदिर और भगवा झंडे आ गए थे, वीडियो में चिकन सेंटर के फूड दिखाये गए तो हिंदू संगठनों की भावनाएं आहत हो गई और पुलिस ने अपने घर चलाने के लिए वीडियो बनाने वाले अनस को गिरफ्तार कर जेल में डाल दिया है। @SanjayAzadSln @manojkjhadu @MahuaMoitra @ShayarImran

@TheMuslimMatter Every bloody day! Spot visibly Muslim person in a public place Make an accusation. Humiliate, harass them. Create a spectacle Call the police, establish perception of criminal activity. Shoot a video, put it online, allowing fellow bigots to get further entrenched in prejudice

Ghaziabad: In the Indirapuram area near the Hindon Barrage, two children were riding a bicycle carrying a sack. Mayor Sunita Dayal stopped them and, without any evidence, falsely accused them of having beef in the sack and planning to throw it into the Hindon River. After this, Mayor Sunita Dayal called the police and instructed them to take the children into custody, and also threatened the officers that if they let the children go, she would have them suspended. The police seized the sack and took the children and one man into custody.

@ErikSolheim @IndiainNorway @norwayinindia @RinaSunder @norwayindia @Aftenposten @Dagsavisen If Salvatore Babones is where you get whatever sense of India you have, I can see why you would think that "India is the miracle of democracy". It's not, definitely not the current India, where the democratic process is now greatly tainted.

Why is the West not curious on the great Indian 🇮🇳 civilization? This week Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Norway. The government rolled out the red carpet. King Harald invited for lunch. All bigwigs of Norwegian business turned up. This is of course as it should be at such a historic visit. Rather different was media. No curiosity, no real attempt to understand India. When the third most powerful man in the world visits Norway, you may expect some real interest? An attempt to understand the world’s third largest economy, a global green leader, one of the world’s brightest civilizations?? It’s not that Norway is overrun with visit at this level. Last Indian top visit was Indira Gandhi in 1983. Last Chinese president visit was 1996, last American president was 2009. Here are some taste bits from Norwegian media: * Aftenposten the largest newspaper printed a caricature of Modi as a snake charmer, many found it racist and derogatory. The accompanying article (written by an otherwise brilliant journalist) described Modi as a “slightly annoying man” and simply showcased that India is not high on the papers reading lists. * Norsk rikskringkasting (NRK), the state broadcaster, explained “why prime minister Støre is clearing his desk to receive Modi”. From everyone outside Norway I got exactly the opposite question: Why did Modi use his valuable time in such a small and insignificant place? * Dagsavisen, a left of center daily, sent a young journalist to throw questions after Modi - claiming that India is 157 on a global democracy ranking. When a ranking is so contrary to common sense - why doesnt she ask those who created the ranking why they spread such nonsense? I am not aware of one Norwegian journalist closely following India. NOT ONE! How can the public learn more? Unless you believe democracy only fits a handful of small, homogenous, ultra rich western nations, India is the miracle of democracy. The large, complex, lingustically and religiously diverse nation with many poor people - which has etablished a vibrant democracy and is much less violent than Europe or America. India can in fact make a claim to be the worlds most homegrown and impressive democracy. We are entering the Asian century. Unless we Europeans become more curious - to civiliazation, history, politics and economy in the Global South - we will become the big losers of history.

@PTI_News No, @RahulGandhi, YOU have to raise that issue and raise it regularly. As the most prominent voice in the Congress, it's on YOU to speak up first about the violence and discrimination against Muslims. The Muslim leaders in your party can follow your lead.

STORY | Rahul Gandhi urges party's Muslim leaders to raise issues concerning their community Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday urged Muslim leaders of the party to vociferously raise issues concerning their community and to work towards enhancing their representation. Sources said that during a meeting of the advisory council of the party's Minority Department, Rahul Gandhi said that if injustice is done against a Muslim, one should raise their voice specifically as a 'Muslim', rather than merely as a member of a 'minority' group.

@Ajaydubey9 Ridiculous! If the limitation period is sacrosanct, why did the SC allow the central govt to file an appeal against the Bombay HC IT Rules verdict long after the limitation period had lapsed? Kunal Kamra's legal team objected on grounds of the delay but the SC still allowed it.

Supreme Court just declined a plea against the Adani project in Singrauli because of a "delay" in filing. So now, 6-7 LAKH TREES 🌴 will be chopped down just because of a technical time-limit rule?! Are we seriously putting bureaucratic deadlines over the life of our planet? No one seems to understand what happens when nature becomes just as reluctant to support us.Our future generations will pay the ultimate price for these bloody, human-made rules. Devastating. #SaveSingrauli #EnvironmentFirst #ClimateCrisis #adani @PMOIndia @CMMadhyaPradesh @moefcc @byadavbjp

@Peoplepower08 This is just plain hate for Muslims masquerading as reverence for cows.

Heartbreaking Assault in Indore! 😢 In Tejaji Nagar, a cattle truck driver was brutally beaten, stripped, and forced to dance publicly, by VHP-Bajrang Dal members Aashish Thakur & Akash Thakur. The video is heartbreaking.

@thewire_in @Apoorvanand__ Makes a great and very valid point. I'd say it'll be the same story in cases of sexual violence/harassment that women face on a daily basis. That they fight to save the honour of women is load of rubbish.

Hindutva Targets Muslims as Women of All Religions Face Violence in Their Marital Homes Will there be any campaign within Hindu society to awaken consciousness against dowry and domestic violence? @Apoorvanand__✍️ thewire.in/society/hindut…

Further evidence of a nation turning on itself.

@rohini_sgh Never seen a nation so obsessed with turning on itself.

Never seen a nation so obsessed with digging up places…

@ranjona Oh, man, what the hell did I just see?

How yuck is this?

@LiveLawIndia The disconnect between what judges say in public & how they rule in courts must be deliberately cultivated. Ditto for news anchors,who can't possibly be the person at home they come across as in their shows. How would they otherwise reconcile the polar opposites in themselves?

@sabeer "The real issue with movies like Dhurandhar isn’t the actors". Why not? Messengers of hate bear just as much responsibility. These actors have chosen to be part of the film and have profitted off it. They're as much the issue as the film-maker and the hate itself.

The real issue with movies like Dhurandhar isn’t the actors - it’s the message being created. When storytelling normalizes hate based on religion, it shapes young minds in the wrong direction. Filmmakers have a responsibility to build, not divide.
