His name was GN Saibaba. He was born in 1967 in Amalapuram, Andhra Pradesh. He contracted polio at age five and used a wheelchair for the rest of his life. More than 90 percent of his body was paralysed. He topped his university in his undergraduate degree. Completed his masters from the University of Hyderabad. Finished his PhD from Delhi University. He became an assistant professor of English at Ram Lal Anand College, Delhi University. He spent years writing and advocating for the rights of Adivasi communities in central India. On May 9, 2014, Maharashtra Police came to Delhi University campus and took him blindfolded to Gadchiroli without informing his wife. He was charged under UAPA for alleged links with a banned Maoist organisation. The Bombay High Court later noted in its 293 page judgment that Maharashtra Police brought a barber as their witness for the search conducted at his home on a university campus. The court found serious procedural lapses in how evidence was seized, sealed and labelled. In March 2017, a sessions court sentenced him to life imprisonment. He was denied bail despite his disability. He was denied permission to attend his mother’s funeral. His co accused Pandu Narote, 33 years old, died of swine flu in Nagpur Central Jail in August 2022 before his name was ever cleared. In October 2022, the Bombay High Court acquitted him. The Maharashtra government filed a petition in the Supreme Court on a Saturday before the written order was even officially released. The Supreme Court stayed the acquittal. In March 2024, the Bombay High Court acquitted him again. The court said the evidence was wholly unbelievable and called the trial court verdict a failure of justice. He walked out of Nagpur Central Jail on March 7, 2024, after nearly 10 years. He said it was only by chance that he had come out alive. On October 12, 2024, he died of cardiac arrest following complications from a gallbladder surgery. He was 57 years old. The system imprisoned him. The system acquitted him. The system watched him die. Nobody answered for any of it. Follow for real stories India never makes headlines about.

“A lot of India’s youthful energy is frittered away in pursuit of ritual & cant, sectarian hatred & politics of schism to advance an ideology of regression into a golden past…”

the city is alive with the celebration of workers' day

yeah donot bring the vegetarianism of india as a pro-vegan argument because people here are regularly lynched/murdered for eating meat and is completely based on caste hierarchy and ritual purity, vegetarianism in india is not vegan nor for animal liberation

It's interesting how there's a stereotype on social media about veganism being mainly a white thing, when Black Americans are 3 times more likely to be vegan than the general population. And globally, the 4 most vegetarian countries are India, Mexico, Brazil, and Taiwan.
