- I agree with @sardesairajdeep - religion should play no part in a secular nation-state. Waiting to hear his views on the UP state tableaux at the Republic Day parade.
A Nishan Sahib flag is NOT a flag of Khalistan: it is a flag of great reverence in Sikhism. BUT it has absolutely NO place to be forcibly put on Red Fort on Republic or any other day. 🙏 - Gurudwaras opened to Muslims for Friday prayers in Gurgaon. “All religions are one and we have faith in humanity and human values,” he said.”
- Paul Brass will be stunned to hear that his work on collective violence now constitutes evidence for sedition. If this is the yardstick, then all scholars of Partition/violence will have to be charged given these books are standard fare theprint.in/india/sharjeel… via @ThePrintIndia
- My piece on #FarmersProtest which has evolved into perhaps the largest mass mobilisation in post-colonial India's history, one that conjoins the revolt against unregulated capitalism to the struggle to uphold liberal rights of free speech and protest.
- Delhi folks, Food/oxygen/ambulance is available to those in need. Home delivery is made available by @officialdsgmc Do pass on these important numbers. #LangarSeva #Oxygen #COVIDEmergency #COVID19India
- Exhibit A - Hatred is an incurable disease. @SwarajyaMag editor sees repatriation of Indian citizens not as state duty but an act of benevolence that one ought to be grateful for. This script belongs to despotic regimes, not democracies.Modi's india takes care of all Indians- even narrow minded ungrateful ones.
- Has any protest been met with such warlike fortification - concertina wires, concrete blockades, cutting off electricity/water, Internet shutdown? #FarmersProtests #Ghazhipur
- ‘One nation, One market’ vision requires India to be made market-ready - the world’s next factory - a site of production in which all national territory and inhabitants are available as factors of production. My piece on #FarmersProtests
- Farm Laws repealed!!! Its a major victory for the farmers & workers who have persisted in harsh conditions for more than a year. #FarmersProtest Has Modi finally met his match in India's farmers? | Ravinder Kaur
- Gift? When did infrastructure development become a personal gift? If at all, the language of gift-giving hints at the ongoing shift in politics, one that displaces the democratic language of rights and duties.
- I write on the “promise of good times” India has been waiting for in @guardian 30 years ago, Dr Manmohan Singh presented the 1991 Budget which spelled out the “dream of a strong united, technologically sophisticated but humane India.” #30YearsofReforms
