Important appeal:

I think by now most of u know what I do. U also probably know that I'm relentless about it - now call me stupid but that's the only way I know.

Here's the catch: I can't do it alone.

I gave up a cushy job to fight the BJP/RSS. Why? Bcoz I wanted to.

It's been hard but I don't regret my decision even for a moment.

I didn't do anyone a favor. I did it because my heart said so & I'll never regret one bit of it no matter what toll it takes on me.

I literally only wish my day had more than 24 hrs.

The fight against the hate ecosystem is exhausting. It not only takes immense patience (with the pace of our police/judicial system), it's very toxic.

And on top of that, it costs money.

Money that I've been paying from my meager savings.

I'd once told myself - I'll give up when I lose all support. That's stupid because now I can't go back.

Even if I have to stand alone, I'll keep doing what I do. Nothing drives me in life more than this.

Now, here's where you come in. I'd like help. I'm not ashamed to ask for it.

I sincerely believe that this fight against hate mongers will end in a victory. Maybe not so easily. But it will. Because I know I'm willing to go the whole 12 yards to ensure it.

Your support will mean the world to me. It'll make things a wee bit easier.

It'll not only help pay the bills but also allow me to widen the scope of what I've been doing & do it more relentlessly.

Along with battling hate speech, there's a lot of other interventions I'm working on.

Every penny you contribute goes a long way.
