Over the past few weeks, been following the tribal district of Palghar to look at how the most disadvantaged section of the society is coping post lockdown.

Meaningless stories at a time Rhea's chats had to be unearthed. But posting a #thread of 8-9 stories I've done so far.
In June, an Adivasi woman strangled her 3-year old daughter to death & hung herself in a remote tribal hamlet in Palghar.

I met her husband. “She probably thought there would be two less stomachs to feed,” he said.

Late last month, I followed it up and wrote about the Adivasi residents of Palghar that are struggling to feed their kids. In fact, malnutrition has been on the rise since the lockdown.

Some have resorted to begging.

The rumours that led to the #PalgharMobLynching were steeped in Islamophobia.

Many observers believe it is symptomatic of the slow saffronisation being attempted in the tribal areas.

My story for @newsclickin
The Thane-Palghar tribal belt has been a stronghold of the Left ever since India’s independence because of Godavari Parulekar. But after the formation of the Janata Party govt in 1977, the RSS came up with Vanvasi Kalyan Ashrams in the tribal areas to propagate their views
"Every year, they (Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram) come up with the number of Ganesh idols they managed to install in Adivasi areas,” said Ramakant Patil, senior journalist based in Palghar.

One of the achievements #Modi is mocked for highlighting is one that many of us take for granted - a bank account -
As a nomad who lived out of suitcase in the nascency of netbanking, I know how hard it was to pay a simple BSNL bill when they didn't have online banking yet
My college was so strict they wouldn't let us out except on Sundays, so paying it myself was ruled out.
My parents couldn't pay as they were in another State and BSNL there wouldn't collect bills meant for here!
As to why BSNL, my folks understandably grew up in a license raj that accepted a six-year waitlist for a scooter or phone connection. Deep distrust of new private players like Airtel, and Airtel fully justified it too when we briefly tried them!😀

#SupremeCourt now delivering its order on petitions by #ArnabGoswami. While the Republic TV editor-in-chief has asked for handing over probe in connection with his shows on #PalgharMobLynching & #BandraStation fiasco to the #CBI, Maharashtra Govt has sought immunity from pressure
Justice DY Chandrachud points out all the complaints against #ArnabGoswami are identically worde, duty of the court to protect freedom of expression. He also cites judgments on power of police to investigate.
Rights of journalists under Article 19 (1)(a) is on a higher footing.. Multiple complaints will have a stifling effect on freedom of expression. Free citizens can't exist without free media: Justice Chandrachud

@republic
First set of FIRs pertained to Goswami's statements on Sonia Gandhi after #PalgharMobLynching in April this year.

Salve tells the Court that Goswami was interrogated for 12 hours by the Mumbai Police, says nature of the FIR shows it was an "arm twisting tactic"

#SupremeCourt starts hearing a fresh petition by #ArnabGoswami for a stay on his prosecution in an FIR lodged against him over a TV show relating to #MigrantWorkers getting collected at Bandra railway station last month.
Veteran lawyer Harish Salve appears for the #Republic TV editor-in-chief through video-conferencing.

#SupremeCourt will also hear a #Maharashtra Govt plea to 'insulate' & protect its police officers from 'pressure & coercion' by #ArnabGoswami in its probe on #SoniaGandhi show.
Salve terms interrogation by #Maharashtra police as an "arm-twisting" tactic, says more questions are about why #ArnabGoswami allegedly defamed a certain person.

He adds out of two cops questioning him, one has been tested positive for #COVID19. Why can't they do it through VC?

Today I am reminded of @RudraVS and his fight for the truth despite torture.
Ab zara gyan suniye.

1st family will probably try to pull out stuff from Arnab’s past.... ab... kitna hai, kya hai.. imho won’t make any difference.
Channel owes loans... probably there will be pressure to take these back. Pressure toh ayega... I am sure he will not blink.
Yeh sab tactics pata hai... koi pharak nahi padna ab...

The way #ArnabExposesSonia diverted the attention from #PalgharMobLynching explains why no action is ever taken on Maa - Beta combo. Arnab isnt useful for Hindus as some are projecting him. The facts spoken by Arnab yest have been spoken a no of times by leaders like Jaya
Arnab is no more than a sellout who shouts everyday as per the orders of his master. The BJP supporters accusing Hindus for stating this fact should remember how he carried out various meaningless hitjobs on BJP leaders like @SushmaSwaraj during his days in Times Now
Pragmatic politics? Unless this episode leads to punishment of Maa-Beta combo for their misdeeds, there is ntg to gain by jumping into this issue for the support of a guy who praise Pinarayi Vijayan not so long ago

2 Sadhus and 1 driver in presence of police got lynched by a bloodthirsty mob at #Palgarh Maharashtra.
No outrage like Dadri
Why
They are HINDU saints & not a Muslim Mohammad Akhlaq or Chor Tabrej
Maharashtra is governed by Sonia Sena ImageImageImage
Entire incident is caught on camera. Cops are witnesses but not a single prestitute is gone to cover their story.
Nobody has met the families of Sadhus OR the driver.
No one has named and shamed the mob.
Why are HINDU lives so cheap?
What is the missing link?
#Palghar
The hand that was supposed to protect him pushed him in the centre of blood thirsty mob.
There was a whole battalion of cops. Not a single policeman came to the defence of a frail 70 yr old sadhu.
Let's us all hang our heads in shame.
Police are as culpable as the mob

Aha!
So here is the story why so much silence @ReallySwara @anuragkashyap72 and other Leftist twitter handles.

Dhabadhi, is a townlet which is part of constituency Dahnu, also the only seat CPI secured in 2019 MH elections.
(Thread)
2
Vinod Nikole is a ricebeg, got his due through Naxal- Missionary support.

Population here is mostly baptized and is involved in Armed loots in and around Dahnu.
These people found two men in Saffron and their hate aggravated started pelting stones and killed the driver first.
3.
Two old Sadhus (70+) had no clue what to do as they can't drive, got beaten brutally. Small unit of police was informed, intervened but couldn't handle the bloodthirsty communists on killing spree. 100+ are arrested.
