Sharing this a bit late, but please do read this brilliant piece by Ruskin Bond, whom I had the honour to meet and photograph last week. He is as beautiful a person as his writing. :') hindustantimes.com/more-lifestyle…

This image is from our Press Conference in Dehradun on March 22 to condemn the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill 2026. #RejectTransBill2026 #NoGoingBack #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Please stand with your trans friends during these trying times. They need all the support that they can get. #RejectTransBill2026 #NoGoingBack #TransRightsAreHumanRights

This bill is unconstitutional and goes against the fabric of democracy. We stand together with our trans brethren. The amount of panic and anxiety that this bill has generated is concerning. Please join our efforts to #RejectTransBill2026 #TransRightsAreHumanRights #NoGoingBack

The government needs to consult trans voices before making any amendments to the law concerning them. It's shocking that they rolled out this bill without consulting the trans community. #RejectTransBill2026 #NoGoingBack #TransRightsAreHumanRights

It's called the "Protection of Rights" Bill. It removes trans men from the definition entirely. It erases non-binary people completely. It hands your identity to a medical board. Who exactly is being protected here? @Drvirendrakum13 #WithdrawTransBill2026 #RejectTransBill2026

This is what India stands for. Eid Mubarak everyone! ^_^

@RenukaCCongress @mleccha Thank you for rejecting this deeply problematic and regressive bill. I hope more MPs oppose the bill in the Lok Sabha on Monday. #RejectTransBill2026 #NoGoingBack

I stand in solidarity with the transgender community and will strongly raise these serious concerns in Parliament. Met a delegation of transgender community members and civil society representatives regarding the Transgender Amendment Bill, 2026; a deeply regressive and problematic legislation. Key concerns: • Removes the right to self-identification, replacing it with medical boards and bureaucratic approval • Violates privacy and bodily autonomy through mandatory medical scrutiny • Narrows the definition of “transgender”, excluding transmen, non-binary and gender-diverse persons • Risks de-recognition of those already holding legal identity documents • Institutionalises state surveillance and intrusive oversight of identity • Revives stigmatizing, outdated frameworks instead of protecting dignity • Undermines institutional mechanisms like the National Council for Transgender Persons • Introduced without meaningful consultation, weakening democratic process • Attempts to bypass ongoing judicial scrutiny This Bill represents a clear rollback of constitutional rights affirmed by the Supreme Court. #TransgenderBill

We need more political leaders to oppose this deeply regressive and problematic bill. #RejectTransBill2026 #NoGoingBack
