Sidelined. Visual metaphor for the continuing marginalisation of disabled citizens even when we insist on being part of the big picture.
Bad enough inaccessible buses meant wheelchair users couldn't test the #Nirbhaya panic button @chennaicorp, but why no inclusion in awareness? Actors in a street theatre creating awareness about bus pani
We were asked for id @GSBediIAS . Simply for being there and perceived as being potentially 'disruptive'.

Are disabled women not women?
Are we so asexual in the mainstream's mindspace that violence against us doesn't merit acknowledgement? Or thought? Or design considerations? So near but yet so far. Mary is next to the 3 steps leading
Speaking of steps and buses, since thinking is not inclusive by default, please ensure on the day when we are finally able to enter a step-free low floor level boarding bus, safely and with dignity, that the panic button is not located in rear step area (in case low entry bus)!

#GodhraMassacre shows no act from any Muslim, including roasting children to coal will make 'secularists' blame Muslims for any communal act. Whether Muslims attack VHP/RSS office in Chennai or whether Hindus kill Muslims, media will always blame Sangh Parivar like in #Godhra(40)
On 27 Feb 2018 2 more were convicted, & 3 acquitted. Outrage should be on acquittal of 63 accused earlier (like after Best Bakery case) & no death for 34 #GodhraMassacre convicts. They all deserved death! Media of course, silent, no demand for death even for THIS crime! (41)

When #Nirbhaya was mercilessly raped, the entire nation came together to get justice for her. Culprits were caught within 1 week. There is unbelievable amount of evidence of #assault on #DishaSalian, possibly sexual assault. Why is the nation not uniting for justice for her? Image
I did not want to share this, but Disha happens to be a distant family friend. I know a lot of her cousins, and they, along with her family seem to be under some form of unimaginable pressure to remain quiet. Even the RIP posts that they put up for her have been deleted.
And what I mean by coming together for #JusticeForDisha is that the whole crowd, #liberals, (and trust me, I consider myself to be liberal in thought too) - why are they silent? Why do they think this is all drama? Why is this a conspiracy theory to them? Debate me on the facts.

On #girlchildday let me highlight that how rapes have become every day news but hardly accused are proven guilty & convicted.
Here's a thread to highlight & ask them for real #BetiBachaoBetiPadhao .
Some rape statistics I shall share along with Dalit rapes that are ignored.
Recent stats quoting sources .
More than 32,500 cases of rape were registered with police in 2017, about 90 a day, according to the most recent govt data.
According to the NCRB data, 4,15,786 rape cases were reported across India between 2001 & 2017
On average, 67 women were raped every day across the country during these 17 years, or, in other words, about 3 women had been raped every hour.
While 16,075 cases of rape were reported in 2001 across India, this number rose drastically to 32,559 in 2017 - 103% increase .

The #HyderabadHorror invoking the veterinary doctor and following #encounter by the Hyderabad police raises important questions for the Indian nation.
1. It has been years since the outcry in #nirbhaya case. However rapes continue to go on across the country. No government has been able to solve the problem at a systematic level. When will India be safe for women ?
2. The positive response of the general public to the #Encounter shows that the Indian public has NO FAITH in the Indian legal and judicial process. When will faith in our institutions and systems be restored ?

As Parliament amends #POCSO to include the death penalty, a closer look shows that political posturing contrasts with reality. Politicians are often the ones protecting the rapist-killer. Pinki Virani takes a look at this scenario. #FPthreads 1/18
In November 2013, after more than seven months of work, Pinki Virani filed a PIL regarding cases which involved crimes upon children by adults. There were four identified cases – four children in different states murdered by five rapists. 2/18
All cases had been awarded the #DeathPenalty by all three tiers of courts and yet, all of the convicted rapists were still very much alive, living on tax-payers' money in jails, till 2013; the SC had awarded their death sentences in 1999, 2003, 2005, 2008. 3/18

#WhenYouAreRahul your internationally reputed college will publicly confirm your MPhil Degree.

When you are #DufferModi your college will block RTI for your "Entire Political Science" degree, which no other student got 🤣
#WhenYouAreRahul you dont have to be afraid of press or audience, and can bravely handle any question without pre-screening.

When you are #MeekModi you will only talk to bootlicking sycophant journos through pre-screened questions.
#WhenYouAreRahul you will respect your opposition and their necessary role in a democracy.

When you are fascist megalomaniac like #DemonModi you will rant for an opposition mukt country & use CBI, media and other institutions against them in your lust to retain power.
