    Finally realised my childhood dream of making my drawings move. Drawing each element in each frame by hand and moving them inch by inch, seeing them come to life was an experience I can't put into words. Made even more special by my mummy @AmitaGarima lending her voice to it. 😊

    Income tax portal doesn't work, all hell breaks loose. Tech CEOs are summoned. There's massive show of action taking on Twitter. Etc. Aadhar validation encounters multiple technical problems in urban slums, rural and remote areas. People die of hunger. No official bats an eye!

    Precious Indian youth gets more moved by racism in other countries than casteism in their own. 🤷🏽‍♂️

    So it doesn't matter whether the order of the "civic authorities" has underwent due process of law. Now civic authorities also have rights btw. Only dissenters, especially minorities, and vulnerable castes don't!

    Despite Benedict Anderson's Imagined Communities being such an iconic book and having been translated into hundreds of languages, it's still not translated in hindi even though the readers in hindi belt desperately need to read it. I have translated first 3 chapters of the book..

    Having had a millennia old graded social structure implemented through inhumane provisions of purity and pollution aka caste system, the neo feudalist culture characterized by punch down power dynamics was inevitable with urbanization; an anomaly to the sociological theoretical..

    Acc to @zoo_bear advocates, the Sitapur court remanded the journalist to judicial custody earlier today. But, for now, #DelhiPolice brought Zubair back to Delhi & remanded him in jail here. If he gets bail from a Delhi court, he will be handed over to UP police.

    The difference is that the flogging has been recorded on video and there's ample evidence of this crime. It hasn't been proven yet who's behind stone pelting. For that proper inquiry and judicial procedure is required. Even then flogging is not a punishment. So just shut up!

    Stone pelting at a Hindu festival should not be considered a birth right in India. No stone pelting, no flogging. Public flogging is wrong. So is stone pelting. Selective outrage remains the bane from Hindu exodus from Kashmir to Gujarat riots to anti CAA protests. Report it all.
