If you are outside India, I am practically begging you to reblog this

Last week India passed a blatantly anti-Muslim law that seeks to naturalise millions of immigrants, except if they are Muslims.

In August of this year, India revoked the autonomous status of the Kashmir region, putting a communication blackout on the state. Kashmir has entered the fifth month of no internet and heaviest militarisation of any region in the world.

India is a secular, socialist republic. This bill is anti-constitutional and against the principles on which the country was founded

Naturally, there have been protests across the country. At the forefront of the protests are students from India's public universities.

Police opened fire on peaceful protestors in Jamia Milia Islamia University in Delhi, and Aligarh Muslim University in Uttar Pradesh.

Ever since then, the ruling fascist Hindu nationalist political party, the BJP, has been doctoring videos and sending fake news all over the internet, discrediting protestors and labelling them as terrorists

India has already seen too much religious violence, please please signal boost this, call your representatives, make them aware, get them to make statements. The only thing India and its dictator Modi care about is its image abroad

This post is dated December, 2019 so a little update (June, 2020) since I’ve seen it on my dash a lot lately:

Amidst the raging pandemic and our Government’s botched handling of it, GOI has found the time to book student activists under a draconian “anti terrorism” law called the UAPA.

Here’s a brief article about what exactly the UAPA is here. It was written in October last year so it’s before all of this, but it highlights the ways it could be misused, and why it’s a cause for concern.

Here’s another article about the same. Has proved prophetic, because our government NEVER fails to let us down!

Many student activists have been booked under UAPA, like Natasha Narwal and Devangana Kalita. Safoora Zargar, who is pregnant, has been jailed despite concerns about COVID-19 (and this being entirely under an unlawful law).

Here’s a quick twitter thread with the names of other activists booked under UAPA.

[Oh btw, in a completely different story, no charges have been made against those suspected of inciting violence at JNU. It’s under investigation, which sounds promising, but uh, we’ve seen what’s happened in the past. There’s not really a lot of hope there.]

While there are scattered protests about this, and some mild coverage from very few news channels, and people have talked about it a little, it’s been lost under all the noise of the pandemic, the migrant crisis, cyclones, locust invasion and other horrors hitting the country right now. Please, please, PLEASE raise awareness about this.

me every night when I sit in the dark stabbing my charger into my phone until I find the socket: don’t think of that post,don’t think of that post—

the patronizing tone that people take on while criticizing the riots is so unbelievably draining for me. they so carefully phrase their criticisms as a "look... im not racist, but... think of how this looks to the racists" and their words are loaded with the idea that rioters like... somehow Don't? know any of the possible consequences of their actions or anything. it's so judgey and always so carefully removed (because if they sounded any more passionate about caring what racists think it would be more blatant lol) and it's frustrating and draining telling them over and over again that this isn't some attempt to change racists to be less racist (lol...) but a demand for accountability.

so while doctors and nurses are probably gonna be time’s people of the year, i’d like to take a moment to give a shoutout to the retail workers, food workers, the food delivery workers, the journalists, and all the other underappreciated people in this pandemic. y’all are out here making sure the world keeps on turning while everyone around you is going to hell. this would be so much worse if grocery stores closed down, if quarantined people weren’t able to order food, if we couldn’t keep up to date on the current guidelines on what to do with this disease.

the doctors and nurses may be helping the sick, but y’all are helping everyone.
