I want to thank everyone who’s supported me/contributed from the bottom of my heart.

It’s an incredibly scary experience to forsake a job & try to fight the BJP/RSS full-time.

It’s only thanks to your support that I can continue to do so without worry or anxiety.

I try to take on multiple fronts in this fight.

It’s akin to throwing 20 arrows at a target in the hope that 1 will hit the bulls-eye.

This combined with bureaucracy (and its delays) and a lethargic legal system makes it a very tough & slow process.

The task gets even harder when institutions are compromised/biased & one has to find loopholes around them.

It’s very slow frustrating work but when it works - it works wonders.

Plus I work all alone - which makes the task 100x harder.

And that’s why a lot of what I do takes immense time for “closure” or results.

Things get dragged on by the system for weeks or even months.

But the end is mostly always worth it.

This battle isn’t just for 1 day. We have 4.5 years to go of this nightmare.

Over the next few weeks I’m going to try to

(a) rope in more people for this work

(b) document what I’m working on on a website/page for easy reference

I also want to meet as many of you as I can who’d like to fight this fight even if it’s for a few hours every week.

Once again, I’m incredibly grateful for your contribution, support, & trust.

That’s the only thing that keeps me going amidst the toxicity & the pushback from the system with the risks that it entails.

Thanks a million to each & everyone of you.

Onwards & upwards.
