Delighted to hear @BloomsburyIndia has withdrawn the fake communal book about the Delhi Pogrom.
The launch was today with Nupur Sharma of OpIndia & Kapil Mishra as “guests of honor”.
Full power to all who spoke up.
Be it Facebook or this - we MUST fight & reclaim all spaces.

To all “free speech” fake equivalence wallahs:
1. Hate speech isn’t free speech
2. Bloomsbury wasn’t forced. They withdrew a non-fact checked book because of their own business considerations
3. A pogrom isn’t “theoretical”. Whitewashing it isn’t free speech.

4. When riot accused become “guests of honor” & are protected by the State, you MUST counter them when institutions fail to do their job.
5. The entire Central govt system protected the accused of a pogrom. Your right to free (hate) speech doesn’t outweigh the life of innocents

Special shout out to @persistara who started the battle yesterday & led all of us. She was relentless & persistent in this noble effort.
Thanks for everything, Persis!
