"Amit Shah has always been the epitome of communalism. Even though he later became the Home Minister, his nature hasn't changed at all!"

Relevant excerpts from Kerala CM @vijayanpinarayi's response to Amit Shah 👇🏽

"BJP is a party which fuels religious divisiveness based on the RSS's ideology. Amit Shah is a prominent leader of that party. He comes to this land, which is known for its religious harmony and its infallible commitment to secular values, and dares to make these communal rants."

"Shah has asked me some questions apparently. But it wasn't me who was put in jail for fake encounters. Amit Shah should do well to remember who had to face criminal charges like murder, kidnapping & illegal surveillance."

A bit about the history of #InternationalWomensDay: THREAD

1. The earliest Woman's Day observance can be traced back to 1909 when the Socialist Party of America organized a Women's Day in New York City.

2. After a year, in the 1910 International Socialist Woman's Conference, the German delegates like Clara Zetkin proposed that a special Women's day be organized annually to promote equal rights including suffrage for women and the proposal was greeted with unanimous approval.

3. On March 8 1917, women textile workers began a demonstration for "Bread and Peace" in Petrograd which marked the beginning of the February Revolution. 7 days later, the Emperor of Russia abdicated the throne and the provisional government granted women the right to vote.

THREAD: Key highlights from @kunalkamra88's statement in Supreme Court.

"The public’s faith in judiciary is founded on the institution’s own actions and not on any criticism or commentary about it."

"To believe any institution of power in a democracy is beyond criticism is like saying migrants need to find their way back home during an ill-planned, nationwide lockdown: it is irrational and undemocratic."

"IF this court believes I have crossed a line and wants to shut down my internet indefinitely then I too will write Happy Independence Day postcards every 15th August, just like my Kashmiri friends."

The #FarmerProtests seem to have put the BJP govt on the back foot because here it's the farmer who they need to dehumanise and vilify. But unfortunately for them, there is no popular prejudice in the public consciousness against farmers, unlike say Islamophobia. 1/

We know most of the times it is Islamophobia that is used to dehumanise the opposition, whether it fits the story (CAA, NRC, "Love Jihad") or not (it was forcefully invoked even to distract from the failure to appropriately deal with a religion-agnostic pandemic a while ago). 2/

Even in case of the #FarmerProtests, Islamophobia would have been somehow invoked, if not for the fact that the Sikh identity was already attached to it. Otherwise, they'd have attributed the protest to "the Islamo-commie nexus" and effortlessly sold it to their supporters. 3/
