In 2020, SC issued comprehensive guidelines to govern the #internetshutdown orders. It was after @AnuradhaBhasin_ approached SC related to shutdown in J&K.

🧵 on how Indian states hv been violating these guidelines with impunity

Link: article-14.com/post/3-year-ol…
Image "Proportionality & necessity"
"NO Indefinite shutdowns"
"Review these shutdown orders"
"Shutdown orders to be uploaded on the govt website"

4 conditions set by #SupremeCourt for internet shutdown.

But states are freely violating these orders with little check by the courts. Image

It's quite important to understand how even without hate speeches & vandalism, these hindutva goons incite violence or spread hate against the Muslims.

A 🧵 on how these rallies purposely go through Muslim areas & with the help of music provoke and establish their supremacy+ MUSIC is the key to attract & spread venom in the society.

Kind of songs which have a lot to do with "aggressive nationalism", "saving hindus", "rise of Islam that is dangerous to Hindus", "mandir wahi banega" & more have now become a tool to assault Muslims & democracy

It's been 2 days since #RamMandirPranPrathistha and different parts of the nation have already seen vandalism, hate songs/rallies & violence against Muslims.

Here's a thread of what has already unfolded in the name of the celebration of the return of Ram in Ayodhya. 🧵 1. In Telangana's Narayanpet district the rally of people stood in front of Madina Masjid with loud music. They allegedly threw sandals into the mosque and also burnt crackers.

Another shop belonging to Muslim fruit vendor was also set on fire in Sanga Reddy district.

*Hindu Rashtra OST* for @thecaravanindia

How the Hindutva Pop singers are fuelling a politics of Hate

Stay with me to understand how majorly these singers are backed by the ones in power.

How their songs gets maximum reach.

How popularity of BJP grew with these songs. During Ram Navmi processions in April, communal violence broke out in several states. In most of the cases, the pattern was same to use provocative songs and Hindu mobs entered Muslim areas, wielding swords and sticks, shouting communal slogans and playing loud music.

Few days back some 21 year old told me over a discussion on CONSENT,"Mai ladka hoon mujhe consent smjh nhi aata."Later got away saying it was a mere joke but this very thought shows the deeper mindset of men who can't digest that women have any say over her body. ++ #MaritalRape Discussion on #MaritalRape has actually created a ruckus over social media and in minds of men because "how can a woman have consent over her body? It was her body but not after marriage." A man telling me "Mai ladka hoon mujhe consent smjh nahi aata" is a potential RAPIST.

Thread: 🚨🚨I know how the healthcare of the country and the plights of students who are forced to sit for offline exams don't make it to the headlines of the newspaper/ newsrooms but I say it with thoughts, currently the students of the county need your attention.

++ The MBBS students & other course students made to sit for offline exams is bizarre. When the election rallies are boycotted, school & colleges have been shut then why Universities are stubborn to take up offline exams where more than 150+ students will be sitting in one room?

With 2022 here, I look back at the stories that I did in the past year. Here's a thread with some of my works. Give them a read. I hope to continue working with the same vigour, continue to stand by the marginalized, oppressed, the ones who's voices need to be heard.
(Thread ++) On 17th September, India recorded 2.5 crore vaccination in a single day under the aegis of Mahabhiyan to mark Modi's birthday.

But, reports suggested otherwise when ppl recieved fake vaccination certificates. My report for @thecaravanindia

Day 2 #Tripuraviolence ground report:

Today I visited Chamtila mosque, Panisangar area. Initially when I tweeted about the vandalization of mosque, Tripura police denied the claim saying nothing has happened of that sort.

But my report from the ground says otherwise.Thread 🧵 As soon as I reached there, I saw the mosque was vandalized to an extent that the locals had to contribute to rebuilt/repair few parts.
I was personally shocked to see the condition of mosque & then to be reminded of the claims made by Tripura police.

Thread on #Tripura:
It's been more than 3 days that the people of #Tripura have become victims of violence caused by right wing goons.

There are visuals and information being circulated all over the internet but my concern is why only handful of people are talking about it? Why there isn't much outrage on the violence against the minorities in our country? Is it because it's happening in the North East? Because I know we very conveniently forget that those people are part of our society.

Its been more than 3 days I am trying to given update..
