If you're confused about the possible identity of the masked attacked in #JNUviolence, a question to ask:
Has there been a single tweet yet from @narendramodi @AmitShah or HRD minister @DrRPNishank? What about @CPDelhi @DelhiPolice? Ans: none
@narendramodi @AmitShah @DrRPNishank @CPDelhi @DelhiPolice (2) I received word about #JNUViolence at 18.15 – three and a half hours ago. Since then the Home Minister has tweeted four times; the HRD minister eight times – none of them about JNU.
BJP Delhi MP @M_Lekhi tweeted 18 mins ago – about inaugurating a pedestrian bridge.
#SOSJNU
@narendramodi @AmitShah @DrRPNishank @CPDelhi @DelhiPolice @M_Lekhi (3) The only tweets from Union ministers are from #JNU alumni, Finance Minister @nsitharaman and Minister of External Affairs @DrSJaishankar. These two tweets speak volumes.
@narendramodi @AmitShah @DrRPNishank @CPDelhi @DelhiPolice @M_Lekhi @nsitharaman @DrSJaishankar (4) And here they are – carefully worded messages through the official Ministry accounts.
@narendramodi @AmitShah @DrRPNishank @CPDelhi @DelhiPolice @M_Lekhi @nsitharaman @DrSJaishankar (5) Watch and weep: Complete impunity. @CPDelhi
@narendramodi @AmitShah @DrRPNishank @CPDelhi @DelhiPolice @M_Lekhi @nsitharaman @DrSJaishankar (6) Remember: In #Jamia, the police fired live ammo, shot tear-gas shells into a library, surrounded and battered unarmed students.
Now we're waiting to hear if they have arrested a single assailant in #JNUattack.

"I want to tell the 130 crore citizens of India that since my government has come to power, since 2014, there has been no discussion on NRC anywhere...," the PM said at #RamLilaMaidan. "Lies are being spread."

Yes, they are.
(2/n) I deleted my earlier tweet because I wanted to re-verify the PM's bewildering quote, which appeared first on @thenewsminute. The quote is fine. Thank you @dhanyarajendran. You're always on top of your game
It wasn't just TV interviews. It wasn't just election rallies. It wasn't just BJP CMs promising to implement it. Amit Shah promised a nation-wide NRC *in Parliament*.

Anytime a debate kicks off about public transport in Indian cities, I think of a scene I saw on a late summer evening in 2006 (when I still used buses). I think it was route 422, going past Nizamuddin down to Badarpur Border. (1/n)
It was crammed from steel floor to steel roof with bodies. I was tired from just waiting for the bus, but everyone else on it was a day labourer, they must have been in the final stages of exhaustion. (2/n)
I had boarded from the front, and as we roared down Mathura Road, suddenly the conductor was raising her voice. There's a commotion – centred on a tiny woman, sitting with her family, who looked like they might have been riding that bus for days. (3/n)

Just a heads up. Every op-ed and Twitter thread talking about a victory of ideology, narrative or spirit – and not talking about monopolies on money, media and tech – is part of the New Big Lie.
(2) We will see a lot of these fallacies / partial truths:
1. The Tukde-Tukde Fallacy
Establishment has openly targeted X with disinformation. Press: "Why do a majority of Indians believe this? X must admit it has failed." No reference to the distortion blitz.
2. The Network thesis (true, and def part of the real picture – read the thread below). The ruling party had better messaging; optimized and targeted, which reached every Indian, which the opposition failed at. The missing factor from this formula: costs.

The Caravan
@thecaravanindia
Thread | A doctoral research scholar at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, who lives in the varsity's Sabarmati hostel told The Caravan she first heard ruckus outside the room between 6.30 pm–7.00 pm today. When she looked out, she saw a mob running directly towards the hostel.
She said that people in the mob were carrying rods and lathis and all had their faces covered. The scholar could not identify who they were and said that the mob was not of people from #JNU.

#JNUViolence
According to the scholar, the mob first entered the common area of the hostel, located on the ground floor. They started breaking the furniture and glass there. She and other girls then saw the mob move the boys wing of the hostel and enter inside.

Two students at Periyar hostel met @TheWire_in on their way out of campus. "We have heard things could get worse at night. Too many right-wing goons have gathered on campus. We don't want to spend the night here." They did not want to be named. thewire.in/rights/jnu-vio…
A tweet from journalist Manak Gupta notes what is reportedly Delhi Police's first reaction to #JNUViolence by goons: "We have entered JNU on request of administration. We have carried out a flag march. Situation is under control," joint CP Anand Mohan was quoted saying.
