NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE THIS DAYY!!!

हार मुबारक़ हो @dpradhanbjp!

Umar Khalid is the litmus test for Indian intellects.

At the peak of Nirbhaya protests in December 2012, then Chief Justice of India late Altamas Kabir and a sitting Supreme Court lady judge Gyan Sudha Misra had given rare public statements condemning the use of force against protestors and had supported the youth who had come out to register their anguish. Late Justice Kabir had gone to the extent of saying that he wanted to join the protests, but his position prevented him from doing so. Justice Misra had said she was breaking the judges self-imposed code of silence since rare situations demanded extraordinary responses. Compare it to the current students agitation, not only has the Judiciary lowered its esteem in the eyes of the country's citizens by its judicial actions, but public utterances of lordships are irreparably damaging the institution.

Statement : The blocking of BitChat's code on GitHub is unconstitutional and authoritarian. New Delhi, 24 July 2026 The Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF) condemns the order issued by the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), Ministry of Home Affairs, directing GitHub to remove the code repositories of BitChat. The order, Notice No. 11072601011432, was issued at 11:16 pm on 23 July 2026 under Section 79(3)(b) of the Information Technology Act, 2000 read with Rule 3(1)(d) of the IT Rules, 2021. The order directs GitHub to disable access to three repositories, including the Android application and its release files, within three hours. It threatens the platform with loss of safe harbour and criminal prosecution. No copy was published by the Government of India. The public learnt of it from a post by @jack, whose team develops BitChat. Censorship in India now comes to light through disclosure by the censored. Since 17 July 2026, the Ministry of Home Affairs has suspended mobile internet around Jantar Mantar as per public reports about five times, most recently within a 1.5 kilometre radius from 4 pm until midnight on 23 July. That radius takes in Janpath and parts of Connaught Place. Reports describe signal jammers at the protest site and people walking two kilometres before their phones work. Inside that zone a student separated from her group during a detention drive cannot send a message to say where she is. Thousands of students and young people have camped at Jantar Mantar since June, seeking accountability for examination irregularities. Permission for their march to Parliament was refused. Metro stations were shut and also internet connectivity has been blocked. BitChat is an open source application built for exactly this situation. It passes messages from phone to phone over Bluetooth, without mobile networks or a central server. It is striking that the order does not identify a single unlawful message. It objects to what BitChat is. In its own words, the application is dangerous because it enables communication "even during network restrictions" and can "circumvent lawful restrictions" during "internet shutdowns". Hence, the government's objection is that citizens can speak to one another while it has switched the internet off. The order is illegal on at least four grounds. 1. Section 79(3)(b) is not a blocking power. In Shreya Singhal v. Union of India (2015) 5 SCC 1, the Supreme Court read down the provision. Intermediaries may be required to act only on a court order, or a government notification confined to the grounds under Article 19(2) of the Constitution. Blocking is governed exclusively by Section 69A and the Blocking Rules, 2009, which require a hearing and reasons recorded in writing, subject to review. Directions issued under Section 79(3)(b), Rule 3(1)(d) and the Sahyog Portal evade these safeguards, and constitutional challenges to this parallel regime are pending before High Courts. 2. The reasons in the order are circular. The order asserts that the repositories contain "information which is prohibited under any law" without naming any such information, and rests on what the application is "capable of" enabling. Anticipated misuse of a communications tool is not a lawful basis to prohibit the tool. By this logic a telephone exchange could be sealed. 3. The order cites Section 43 of the IT Act, a civil compensation provision, alongside conspiracy and abetment offences under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, against a platform that hosts code. 4. A three hour deadline issued close to midnight forecloses legal assessment and recourse, and fails the proportionality standard in Anuradha Bhasin v. Union of India (2020) 3 SCC 637. The order also fails on its own terms as deleting a repository does not delete the application from any phone that carries it, and the mesh keeps functioning without servers. What the takedown actually prevents is scrutiny of the underlying code. IFF demands that the Government of India: 1. Withdraw Notice No. 11072601011432 dated 23 July 2026 issued to GitHub. 2. Publish every takedown direction issued under Section 79(3)(b), Rule 3(1)(d) and the Sahyog Portal, with the reasons recorded for each. 3. Restore full connectivity around Jantar Mantar, publish all suspension orders, and disclose the legal authority for the deployment of jammers. We stand with the developers and the young protesters whose speech this order seeks to silence.

yes, exactly!

there are echoes of and debts to shaheen bagh everywhere. the awe it inspires only grows in hindsight. that level of sustained mobilisation when the popular consensus was (and still is) for your head on a stick. it required a pogrom and a pandemic to forcefully disrupt it...

#Breaking : Delhi police has employed “Ikshana” an advanced, AI-powered mobile CCTV surveillance vehicle at the protest site, featuring 360-degree cameras, facial recognition, and real-time command room feed to surveil the youth.

Unmatched rizz hai bhai, none of the cjp men could ever

fuck ajay devgan and his pro-police brutality film.

Narendra, it's done, bro. Don't extend this. Keep the spirit for another day if there be a need, which I doubt, n eat something. If u want, will send u spine from home.

#Breaking: The Centre has allowed the Delhi Police Commissioner to detain people under the National Security Act (NSA) from July 19 to October 18. Under this law, anyone can be jailed, without any charges or trials for up to a year if police believe it is necessary to prevent a threat to national security.

Perhaps Gen Z has finally found its long-elusive third space - in protest sites

saari border police delhi me hai toh border pe kon hai

jab jab Modi darta hai, police ko aage karta hain

The shoes protesters lost yesterday while fleeing police batons, tear gas have been collected and carefully arranged by fellow protesters they may never know. This is true art is born on the streets. A people's movement brings out the highest forms of solidarity and creativity.

Asking for a friend. Does this include comedy videos?

@DelhiPolice trying to co-opt a song in which they’re the villains. Absolutely ridiculous.

dawg what?

Today and everyday - I think of you, Umar Khalid
