“In India there is no common birthright"

#RabindranathTagore 's eviscerating takedown of Nationalism on @IndianHistory_C had addressed CAA and the economic and social crises we are in the midst of before their time

Read it for it is the compass we need

indianhistorycollective.com/on-nationalism… “Nationalism is a great menace..It is the particular thing which for years has been at the bottom of India’s troubles.”

It wasnt easy for Tagore to write these words at a time when the subcontinent was in the throes of an exacting and passionate freedom struggle but he knew..

There's so much going on there's a risk of losing sight of what we're fighting for.

So here's a quick recap for whosoever it may concern.

CAA is arbitrary, facially discriminatory and, despite attempts at legal jugglery, arguably, anti- constitutional.

BUT In conjunction with the NRC it is diabolical.

That is what we are protesting.

Why the two together?

I'll let Amit Shah explain.

On LRC @ndtv w/ @nidhi alongside Vrinda Grover, Dushyant Dave, Mamta Kale, and Vikram Singh this evening.

End of the day I've more questions abt the #HyderabadEncounter than answers.

1) Can women ever be safe in a country where the police is rewarded for flouting rule of law? @ndtv @Nidhi 2) Thr wr 3k encounters in the 1st 16 mths of Adityanath's rule- did they deter crime? Did Ram Singh's suspicious death deter brutal rape?

3) Can the very elements underpinning rape culture- toxic masculinity, disregard for life + dignity, fearlessness of law be antidotes to it?
