A farmers’revolution: lines in thread
Born few years before start of our Republic,
He went to school with 4 siblings,
in a village some 2 miles from his residence,
Whenever field’s labours could spare him.
When he came to man’s estate at seventeen,
Partition left him with two acres of the Pristine, 👇
He knew he would always be poor,
Unless he took fortune past tradition’s door.
Sold off his prime land in nature’s food
Bowl,
Bought himself a piece of the desert south,
Pulled out old stones , gnarled tree stumps,
Created ten acre farm from next to nothing. 👇

How Ambedkar’s legal stance helped unify India:
A retrospective thread . 👇
The British controlled the native states by the doctrine of paramountcy. Ambedkar argued that the Indian government as on June 3, 1947, still had dominion status. 👇
He cited constitutional law that the status of a dominion becomes vested with the right to advise the Crown and the Crown cannot reject the advice. He called out the British parliament for lapsing paramountcy and granting independence to the princely states. 👇

Media Ownership Monitor: Who owns the media in India?

a must read thread 👇 for detailed information.
The production of media content and its distribution are becoming increasingly combined and, again, concentrated in the hands of a few.

What Andhbhakti and Godi Media can do to someone ( in general to everyone)
Politics at it's worst: a thread, read and share.👇
So, a bit of context here. I'm 16, and my parents are regular BJP supporters and regular viewers of Sudhir Chaudrey. I don't mind that. They voted for BJP in 2019 elections. I Don't mind that either. They support CAA and basically everything BJP does.👇
That kinda was a shock for me, so in December I sat down with them and had a casual chat, not trying to appear too political in front of them, as they don't like it.
Both of my parents said "Beta we are not AndhBhakts, but Modiji Jo Kar rahe Hain desh ke liye hi kar rhe hen. 👇
