From 1997 to 2000, I worked in LTMGH, Sion - it handled the highest volume of trauma cases in Asia. A large chunk of the injured were railway accident victims. Fall from train, hit by pillars while hanging from train, run over by train after falling at platform. #ChalaNigha
Day after day, the sickening injuries poured in. Legs cut off, heads shattered. Reason? Overcrowded trains. How we wished for closing doors on the trains. Over a dozen lives could be saved by this alone. But how can doors be closed, with hundreds hanging out? #ChalaNigha
Its been nineteen years. Nothing has changed. Dozens still pour in every day. A young girl with both legs chopped off. A young guy with his head caved in, fighting for life. A father, brought dead on arrival. How long? How long can this continue? #ChalaNigha

Doing a thread on some of the blatant lies by the #SaveAareyForest organisers, based on their own website and statements of representatives. This is the site. letindiabreathe.in/blog/aarey-fac… I will post screenshots so that they can’t back out of what has been written.
According to the website, Aarey is home to butterflies like plain and striped tiger, pansies and mormons - these are some of the commonest butterflies in the country, they’re literally everywhere. Rollers, grey hornbills, starlings and ibis listed as rarest birds. Outrageous lie.
According to their website, Metro 6 shed is already being built at Kanjurmarg on the plot they claim MMRDA says is not possible. They’ve written this twice. Fact: Metro 6 shed location was shifted by govt from Aarey to Wadala on 11 Sept 2019, Kanjurmarg shed is a blatant lie.

This is a myth. In multiple RTIs filed by me across India on this issue, and on perusing legal documents pertaining to acts from British era, I found only one expired lease which had already been renewed. Lease granted in nearly all cases is “in perpetuity” and not 100yrs.
Curiously, most letters came back with the note that there are no churches on defence land in our area. However the Indian Churches Act 1927(repealed post independence) has a list of over 100 churches on defence land. anglicanchurchofindiacipbc.com/pdfs/indian-ch…
That’s where it gets more curious.
With the act that granted the lease having been repealed and not substituted by any other act, what is the legal status of the lease that was granted to churches under the act? It seems some govt officials did ask this question. And it has never been solved. Think about it.

Want to know some contrasts between how British treated Nehru and how they treated Savarkar? Read myvoice.opindia.com/2019/09/contra… British let Nehru fly to Europe in 1935 to see ill wife, releasing him, while Savarkar bros were not even informed of death of elder bro's wife. (1)
Savarkar indeed write petitions to British while in jail in Andamans, where he was incarcerated from 1911 to 1921. In reality, those petitions were a ‘strategic letter of ploy’ to get out of jail, for which #Savarkar should be praised. Shivaji wrote such letters to Aurangazeb(2)
#Savarkar was a disciple of Shivaji. In 1666 in Agra in Aurangzeb’s jail, Shivaji wrote such a letter to Aurangzeb to secure his release. Shivaji made many promises in that letter to Aurangzeb. But when he escaped these promises evaporated into thin air. #Savarkar did same! (3)

173 Indians were executed at Andaman's Cellular Jail & more than 3200 were incarcerated.

But only 3 prisoners in the entire history of Cellular jail wrote mercy petitions to the British : Savarkar brothers & Barin Ghose.

Let's see how history is being rewritten.

@saliltripathi This is Trailokyanath Chakravarty. (99% Indian dont know him today, he was incarcerated for 30.4 years by the British)

He was the leader of Anushilan Samiti and chief accused in the Barisal Conspiracy Case of 1913, and was sentenced by the British and transported to the Andaman
@saliltripathi Trilokya Nath in his Bengali book, Jele Tris Bachar (Thirty Years in Jail), published in 1938, wrote a betrayal story of Savarkar.

Savarkar instigated Trilokya & his friends to go on a hunger strike at Cellular Jail, which they did. But Savarkar himself did not join the strike.

Since I’m up, I might as well write out this concept I’ve been thinking about lately. Here’s a potential rambling #thread about the idea of feeling/looking “stupid” & it’s relationship to our learning process.
The other night I was thinking about how often I see students not want to speak in class for fear of feeling/looking “stupid.” I really hate the ableist implications of the phrase as well as the way this fear gets in the way of learning.
People talk about “feeling stupid” in situations where essentially they find out they didn’t know something or their previous knowledge was incorrect. This is particularly the case when their ignorance is revealed in front of people or in public/digital space like social media.

"One of the prisoners, Indu Bhushan, committed suicide ....found hanging from the iron vent at the back of his cell, with a noose around his neck made from his own torn clothes “exhausted by the unrelenting oil mill.”
