Interfaith couples & families often face social discrimination from both sides + even hate & "honour" crimes from their respective communities.

Now, they're being used as an occasion for saffronites to t-rr0rize minorities in the locality. Toxic notions of community conquest.
“In the mob were locals & representatives of a mix of organisations like the Bajrang Dal & RSS. Shera Yadav & Shubham are still moving around freely. No arrests have been made, which is contributing to the continuation of fear in the region. Ppl are leaving temporarily..”
Local Congress did seem to step up:

"A delegation of local Congress leaders met the Dewas district collector and demanded action against people who were involved in damaging the mosque."

The irony of a 4 hr long all-Muslim Twitter space asking Mayawati to convert to Islam [instead of Buddhism] by: Image
1️⃣Randomly citing a 2017 statement by Mayawati on the anti-conversion bill to kickstart a random discussion/lafda.

2️⃣Citing Periyar (an atheist 🤣) Image
3️⃣Ignoring the fact that her choice follows what Dr Ambedkar embraced. Schooling her, Dalits and Ambedkarites on Ambedkar. Image

#IndiaAt75 Today 🧵

Two days ago was Independence Day in India - a day of celebrating our national sovereignty and saluting the anti-colonial freedom struggle. The triumph of Indian independence, however, is inseparable from the trauma of the Partition experience. Image
Hence, in mainstream culture in India, August 15 becomes a day of bashing Jinnah left, right and centre.
Makes one suspect that the ideals of populist nat-lism & inclusive democracy have been long forgotten under a sea of symbolism, antipathy & myth making– of what a successful nation we could've had, had theren't been an evil separatist at work whose legacy sabotages us even today. Image
