Thread: The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (#NCPCR)'s concern that children at the anti-#CAAprotest in Delhi "may suffer from mental trauma" not just reflects its hypocrisy but also how politically compromised Indian institutions are. (1/n)
While it finds children's demand for a fair India, in the company of their parents, a source of worry, it conveniently promotes trafficking of children by #RSS for ideological indoctrination. (2/n)
In June 2015, the Assam Commission for Protection of Child Rights wrote to the NCPCR (letter attached below) how 31 tribal girls from five districts of Assam have been trafficked by 3 RSS affiliated organizations in violation of several laws and taken to Punjab & Gujarat. (3/n)
The girls, as young as 3, were kept away from parents for yrs, not allowed to get in touch with them. Forced to speak in Hindi, give up on their customs, religion, food, embrace Hinduism. Taught how to aspire for self-immolation & how evil Muslim and Christian invaders are. (4/n)
I reported on these 31 cases but the numbers of trafficked children run in thousands. (5/n)

Independent institutions are the pillars of independent India. Most bureaucrats, government servants, people appointed by the government absolve themselves of any need to critique it & demand what is right. They should be held accountable too. Start with #NCPCR. (6/6)

For over a decade, we have discussed the ethics of mainstream journalism in India. As we close 2022, I want to park some thoughts here, grey, and complicated, and I certainly don't have a well-rounded opinion on them.
1. We know there is a corporate-corporate political nexus in media organisations. Stories are killed, censored, slanted, and fabricated.
2. Organisations with the money and resources will not publish critical journalistic stories—the ones who will do not have the money.

Mulayam Singh Yadav, former wrestler, a school teacher turned socialist political leader, three times Chief Minister of UP passes away.

Excerpts from my 2015 profile of his son and political heir, Akhilesh Yadav for Caravan magazine (1/n)
'THE CHAMBAL RIVER, which begins in the northern Vindhyas, empties into the Yamuna in Uttar Pradesh. In the Mahabharat, the Chambal is called the Charmanyavati: a river formed by the blood of the thousands of animals sacrificed by the Aryan king Rantideva. 2/n
Over hundreds of years, its water has eroded the soft lands through which it flows, forming deep and high ravines. For at least a century, the ravines have been the battlefields on which rebels and bandits wage war against upper-caste landowners and their forces. 3/n

The majority of upper caste, middle class Indian is not just ignorant…

They are anti-poor, quickly taken in by success stories of bullies.
1/n
There is a pretense of scruples when there are none. They construct a narrative of being well behaved, hard working but are stingy with kindness. That child is less because dark or has a lesser package or got a lesser percentage in school.
2/n
They live in victim complex because poor get free ration and they dont.

Too scared to show their true selves to their own family too. Eat meat outside the house but dont tell their family. Happily forwarding videos of meat ban and it’s impact on a certain religion.

1. Last evening, I got a call from a Mirror Now reporter (you know who you are. Not naming you to give you a chance). She asked me about a conference I was to participate in. She asked me why my name is missing. I said I am no longer a part of it.
1/n
2. She asked me if I was being trolled. I said yes, me and my family like its been happening for many years. But there is more and I don't want to comment.
3. She asked me if I had formally withdrawn. I asked, "Is this conversation 'on the record'?"
4. She said, yes.
2/n
5. I responded, "I dont want to say anything...". She insisted and I repeated myself.
6. Today, they are playing that phone conversation on Times Now as part of their program on Hinduphobia. You can guess the narrative yourself.

The attack on the Muslim bangle seller in Indore on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan is a reminder of how syncretism has been demonized in New India. 1/n
‘Bisati walas’, a common term for street hawkers, have been under attack for a few years.Many places of worships including temple in India are known for their syncretic culture. 2/n
For centuries, shops outside the temples premises selling offerings, material required for rituals, crafts, crockery, utensils, toys have been owned and run by both Hindus and Muslims. They participate in fairs on festivals like Shivratri, Jamashthmi, Raksha Bandhan.

This week, UP CM Yogi Adityanath unveiled a new population policy that aims to bring population growth to 2.1%. Such moves in the past have always penalised the marginalised and will do the same this time. (1/n)
According to a report by Centre for Health & Social Justice, “In 2002, in Lakhimpur Kheri, 5 Dalit farm labourers, aged 18 to 32 years, were taken to a hospital by their upper caste landlord on the pretext of being inoculated against malaria, given injections & knocked out." 2/n
"...They found out later that they were sterilised. Two of the five were not even married. The UP government in its zest to promote family planning offered gun licences to anyone who brought five cases. The farmer got the licence.” 3/n
