Among the scores, if not hundreds, detained unreasonably since 2014, on flimsy grounds but charged with serious crimes, is Nodeep Kaur. She hails from a Muktsar Dalit family & was arrested at the Singhu border by Haryana Police...
#ReleaseNodeepKaur
She was in a tent of her union, the Mazdoor Adhikar Sanghatan set up in solidarity with the #FarmersProtest, when the police picked her up, accusing her of among other things, rioting with a deadly weapon & attempt to murder...

Her family includes her mother & sister, Rajveer Kaur, both also active in the fight for fair wages, land and farmers' rights & against class discrimination

Rajveer says Nodeep told her she was assaulted in custody...

In a video tweeted by @rupikaur_ , Nodeep explains why she joined the millions protesting across India.

If #IndiaTogether & #IndiaAgainstPropaganda are not mere hashtags for Indian actors/cricketers, will they unite to demand Nodeep's release?

On a day the plum cake is likely to feature prominently on plates across India, did you know that Thalassery, known for associations with cricket and the circus, was also where Indians began making cakes?...

Thalassery figures prominently in circus history, thanks to Keeleri Kunhikannan, born there in 1858. The circus training institute he founded in Chirakkara in 1901 produced many illustrious Indian circus performers, acts and companies...

Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, who incidentally played in the 1st recorded cricket match in Ireland, introduced cricket to Thalassery, arguably the first place in India where Indians participated in cricket matches...

Himmler conceived the "Lebensborn" to increase Nordic/"Aryan" birthrate & produce a "pure" super-race.

Is Uttar Pradesh's dismal crime record, especially agnst women/Dalits, worsening? Stats will tell but that's only part of the story. This thread chronicles anecdotal recent instances: each with trauma/loss of life & loved ones bereft. What would justice for them look like?... Image

The extent to which #Facebook India is embedding itself into the administrative & business fabric of India ought to concern us, since the BJP is totally sanguine about it. An overview of what might be just a handful of associations. The rest of the thread provides sources... Image
Facebook's $5.7B investment in Jio Platforms is their gamble to leverage Indian consumers' mobile transactions to monetize their WhatsApp purchase. It doesn't hurt that they obtain unique "access" across India's governments through the Jio parent..
