Two equally qualified résumés were created. The only variable was the names; Habiba Ali for the Muslim profile and Priyanka Sharma for the Hindu. Over ten months, 2,000 job applications were sent to 1,000 job postings. The responses were surveyed.

Result:
ledby.org/hiringbias Findings of the above survey, as per abstract of its detailed report:

“1. The net discrimination rate was 47.1%, as the Hindu woman received 208 positive responses, while the Muslim woman received half of that (103). This was evident across industries.”

In both Sairat and Jhund, the story does not end at the “happily ever after” of a defiant marriage or an insurmountable match. It takes the story further, how the ‘victory’ is but a small good part in the protagonists’ lives, and how who they are stays with them till the end. In Sairat, the couple is killed by a shadow of their past—still a part of who they are—after years of a settled life. In Jhund, the airport sequence of Don—the cutter, a metaphor of past—and his tears show the thin border between a new life or the same life for the marginalised.

I remember registering for Amazon Pay, and not using it.

The limit was (or was set, I cannot recall) at Rs. 15,000.

Then I wondered: how come an app is giving me 'credit'? What if I take credit, buy things, delete the app and change my SIM? How are they securing this?

People may think that I'm dragging the Saket Gokhale tweets for long.

I have a reason.

Hundreds and thousands of people, especially Muslims, have donated to him in the last 2-3 years. Not in large amounts, but most in small amounts. Because that is what they could afford.

(1) Influential people reading this who may have donated big amounts to Saket Gokhale, please help in seeking basic accountability:

1. Ask for CA audited Receipt and Payment Account, with base as cash book and bank statement

2. Report on "Status of Work Done"

3. Fund position

The reason why the "you are defending Taliban" argument is used, is to make one feel guilty as if one's supporting terrorism.

Taliban or Pakistan are used by RW bigots and even regular people in the society as a metaphor for Indian Muslims being essentially violent or disloyal. So to make a fallacious argument like "both are terrorists" is a dishonest one. This is not about terrorism. This is about Indian Muslims being portrayed as supporters of Taliban by the RW, and then the progressives furthering it by using it as a pejorative for all atrocities.

These scumbags begin their videos by saying, "hey we're giving only centrist views based on facts", but end up peddling what the government says.

I do admire that they are among the smarter propagandists—like Swati Goel Sharma—who cloak themselves in "facts" and "civility". Over here, the tweet is essentially saying "why all people only look at the negative things in India". First part is government stance of being positive. Second part is invoking nationalist sentiment but very subtly.

"I've not seen it anywhere else" is very interesting though.

Please enter this space and REPORT.

Requesting women to NOT go in, there is unbearable amount of Islamophobic and sexist gaali-galuch happening.

Sorry I have to share this. Again requesting only men to just go in and report.

twitter.com/i/spaces/1RDGl… After I put the tweet, they realised I've tweeted after ten minutes.

Then after discussing, they first switched his mic off, and kicked out the guy.

Then they got scared that they got reported.

Instead of maskhari on Suhaagraat Doodh waale spaces, listen to the insidious and slick hate-peddling by Swati Goel Sharma, that sounds like thorough reporting.

Serious suggestion. Swati Goel Sharma and Sanjeev Nehar community profiled Muslims as rapists, groomers, kidnappers in the ENTIRE SESSION.

And when Yousuf countered them, they flipped saying they are NOT doing that at all. Suddenly became innocent sheep that were being hounded.

Aur suno doodh.

The radicalised misinformed unemployed people of this country await just this lovely sermon to spread peace and harmony on the streets after the pandemic ends.

P.S. What this country suffers from as a humanitarian crisis is called Majority Radicalisation, not "Hindu-Muslim hate" This reminded me of the first time I saw posts like, "This pandemic is an equaliser and will bring everyone together irrespective of caste, religion, class, etc."

Same feels of maaro mujhe maaro.

Spaces of RW tonight are cloaking their words as they express desires of violence in WB: "We need someone who can get their hands dirty". Apart from that, few said, "people and party members to get armed; militia like VHP, BD is weak there".

Oh, the sweet radicalisation :) There is no doubt that TMC workers need to stop the violence. STOP IT IMMEDIATELY, IT IS BARBARIC!

But listening to this sounded like they are sad that they cannot plan a riot and unleash violence, unlike in other states where they can.

I just want to say that this looks like bullying, and the language and RT quotes have disturbed me.

These are respected and senior professionals. And yet, instead of dialogue and discourse with a young activist, they chose ad hominem to RT quote and call him a "terrible person". Here, I am not commenting on what Sharjeel said. What genuinely scared me here, is that someday I may lose my cool and say something haphazard on Twitter, and I will be pulled down by respected senior progressives of the majority—who have more social and financial capital too.

Last year lockdown mein, khaana dene waale NGOs ke saath volunteer karke bhi yahi samjha tha.

10 ko dene jaao, 100 rah jaate hain. 100 ko dene jaao, 1000 aa jaate hain. 1000 ko dene jaao, 10000 ki zimmedaari ki fikr ho jaati hai...

Hindustan ek andha kuaan hai ghareebi ka. Aur ye andha kuaan civilians nahin bhar sakte hain.

Haan, saamaanya log donation de kar zara-zara sa paani jod sakte hain. Zyaada samarth log, tanker se ek dafa paani dalwa sakte hain.

Lekin iss kunve to Sarkaar hi phir se kaam ka bana sakti hai. Usi ke paas saadhan hai.

For three years of my job in the healthcare sector I looked at the infinite shortage of beds as nothing but government apathy and the possibility of a great business model. It took this absolute hell ride to truly understand what a thin rope we were all dangling on since forever. Make no mistake, this is still all government apathy. They are not mismanaging it; the not doing anything and not letting it out through media IS the management of it. This is how it's done year after year after year.

When one attacks a person as a Muslim, what happens is reduction of identities to merely that of a Muslim.

The attacked can defend as a Muslim. But the many communities that the person belongs to—that sees the person in different identities—can remind all of the other identities For instance, when an Irfan Pathan or a Wasim Jaffer is attacked as a Muslim, the cricketer community can remind the world of who they are professionally: Cricketers. The college friends can remind of who they are educationally: Alumnis. And so on.

Many of my CA and MBA batchmates who are BJP supporters have been silent on the GDP shrinking massively this quarter.

They have been silent on the economy for a good two years now.

(thread) They are smart enough to have been seeing the decline in our economy from the last eight quarters. They know that Corona has aggravated the economic slump, not caused it.

We should have probably recognised the Radicalisation of Indian Society as a humanitarian crisis long ago.

(thread) The progressive sections of the society—with all noble intentions—can keep beating drums of truth or keep filling buckets with tears of compassion, but what will remain unshaken in the regime’s mass support is the foundation of it: the nakedness of the rot in the Indian society.
