Reject trans amendment bill 2026

To all indians on this app: pradhan's resignation isn't the end, but it's a beginning. It's a bit of hope after more than 12 years of hopelessness. Stay angry. The government needs to be accountable to the people.

india is not a democracy anymore.

everyone needs to hear about the situation in india right now. the youth of this nation are going through hell and back to protect the foundations that our country was built on in the first place, while the adults who are supposed to actually be in charge try to silence our voices.

NEET, which is an exam taken by millions of students per year and is the ONLY gateway for medical admissions across the country, had its papers leaked. so many took their lives because this exam meant everything for their future. and NTA, the agency who conducts this exam, was not held accountable.

there was national backlash. cockroach janta party (initially a satirical political party formed by abhijeet dipke in retaliation to the remarks of the chief justice of india calling the youth "cockroaches" and "parasites of society") started protests at jantar mantar, demanding the resignation of the union education minister, dharmendra pradhan. the movement also asked for ten million inr (~100,000 usd) in compensation for the families of students who died by suicide and wanted NTA be held accountable.

sonam wangchuk, a climate activist and education reformer, also went on a hunger strike at jantar mantar to protest against this corruption in india's higher education system. his fast began on june 28, demanding the resignation of the union education minister. his fast lasted for 20 days until delhi police FORCIBLY removed him and admitted him to safdarjung hospital on july 18.

because of this, cockroach janta party announced "chalo sansad," a march to the parliament beginning on june 20th, 9:00 am ist. but the police seems to be responding with water cannons, mobile jammers, and baton charge. all of this, because of a peaceful protest led by people no older than 30.

and yet there has been absolutely no indian media coverage about a movement that spans the entirety of this nation. so, please, if you see this, keep talking about us. we will not let those old bastards stoop any lower than they've already had. we will not let them ruin our country any further. we will not be silenced

Genuinely cannot understand how the majority of Indians are more than happy to jail and torture student protestors like Umar Khalid and still think Bhagat Singh was a hero. Bhagat Singh would spit in your cowardly face. Standing up for your motherland only sounds cool when it's about fighting the white rulers but everyone abandons the ship when it's our own fascist dictator.

We are literally the most populated country in the world and still too cowardly to protest against our corrupt and hateful system.

‘Humanity is a privilege’: Umar Khalid on his six years in an Indian jail without trial

Exclusive: Activist tells of his life as one of India’s most prominent political prisoners and his opposition to the government of Narendra

"You even hear murmurs about yourself from fellow prisoners you shared meals with, calling you a terrorist behind your back. This propaganda dehumanises me in people’s eyes,” he said. “Humanity is a privilege that is not granted to people like me."

Umar Khalid's first interview since 2020.

[yearnerray]

"Wo darte hai, kis baat se darte he ye? Tamam Gola Barud ke bawajood ye darte hai. Iss baar se darte hai, ki ek din gareeb, nihatte log inse darna band kar denge." - Umar Khalid.

This man's name has been used by multiple right wing believers to defame the people in the Jantar Mantar protes. You may know him as the man who said "Bharat tere tukde tukde honge", but do you at all know who he is?

He's a PhD scholar who researched on the plight of adivasis. He's someone who doesn't even have a passport. He's also someone who NEVER said the above statement. Out of the videos sent by the dm, 3 vidoes were doctored and fake. The videos showing him saying these were FAKE. And media has circulated this perception of him so many times, that ordinary people don't even care enough to look beyond.

He's the same man who said, "We're Indians not by chance but by choice."

He protested for your rights, for people's rights even when they didn't concern him.

And if you may argue, that he might be so called 'anti national', then why has the police in 6 years not been able to file a proper chargesheet? Why? Why aren't they proving it in court? Because they can't. The only way to supress true nationalists like him, is to keep them in jail indefinitely.

I'm just wondering what would happen if he was out of jail. I'm sure he would be at this protest, and fighting for the rights of the people.

[that-odd-puzzle-piece]

In the wake of the current protest, think about Umar Khalid. Remember that it could have been you or your loved ones, trapped in jail for six years without bail.

This is a reminder to all of you to NOT LOSE HOPE. A fascist regime has always met its end, time and time again. History has proven that dictatorships never last. This will be no different. Keep the fire in you burning, keep your mind about you, be empathetic, be just, and above all, be humane. That is the difference between them and us. The rest will fall in line. This too shall pass.

hey, do you know of ways to support the student protestors in india?

sadly it is currently mostly reliant on on-ground volunteer work, there are no links to donate or order things for the main crowd at jantar mantar because again signal jammers. but the aam aadmi party has launched a helpline number (8588833548) for protesters to provide medical and legal aid. there is also a master doc of lawyers for legal help & a help desk form by CJP in case any protesters need medical or legal help.

[that-odd-puzzle-piece]

Hello! I think this page also has links for donations food, water and medical aid to protestors hurt in delhi. Said page also has other resources for protestors.

gender essentialism is soooo funny bc it's like "this is what women are like" and you're like "I've met women and many of them, if not the majority, have not been like that" and it's like "well women SHOULD be like that" and you're like "why should women be like that" and its like "because that's what women are like"

for those unaware today india experienced one of its biggest protests in half a decade. there were protests all over the nation for various causes but the major one was in delhi. all we asked for was the resignation of the education minister because he's failed the students of this nation time & time again. but we were met with brutality, the police had barricaded the main site of protest (jantar mantar). metro stations were shutdown, the public was restrained from reaching the protest site and all the adjoining areas had signal jammers to make sure the crowd had no access to constant updates. they had us blocked from all the sides. they were lathi (baton) charging students from one side & releasing tear gas from the other. you couldn't walk 100 m on streets without having a tear gas shell thrown at you. there were many students, women & kids bleeding — some from their head. some couldn't walk anymore. the police had removed their nameplates & acted with full impunity to resort to unprecedented levels of violence. they were pelting stones at us, beating up people for no reason, forcefully detaining them and attacking us constantly with tear gas & rubber bullets. they wouldn't let you exit either. the crowd was peaceful & looking out for each other yet they were met with violence. i made a friend who was all alone & she asked to join me & my friend because a policeman wouldn't leave her alone. he constantly prodded her for personal info, invited her back to the jeep saying they have food there, wouldn't stop following her around. you couldn't call or ask anyone for help, we were left to fend for ourselves & be on a constant lookout if you did not want to be beaten up to death by police. all for what? asking a resignation? shame on this country.

Tens of thousands of Cockroach party protesters defy police with Delhi march

Youth-led movement calls on education minister to quit in one of India’s largest anti-government rallies in years

For context, india has been under a fascist regime since 2014. The government has been exceedingly hostile to all minorities, but specially muslims. They have also tried their level best to topple public education in India. This started with the NEP, or the National Education Policy, which is literally the worst piece of legislation on education I've seen in my life, and they have continued making life miserable for students through extensive censorship, violently pushing down protests and somehow making the already terrible bureaucracy worse. As a response to the lastest of these mishaps, activist sonam wangchuk went on an indefinite hunger strike until the government took accountability for its incompetence. After days of silence, on the 21st day of his protest, Wangchuk was forcibly removed from the protest site and nonconsensually detained in a hospital. This protest was people peacefully asking for the right to protest. This was the result.

This has been a long time coming. To all indians. Vote, protest, foster this dissent. Don't give in to the apathy.

efforts towards a "positive vision of masculinity" or whatever are so funny because what these guys are trying to figure out is literally "what's a way of being a good person that's Not For Girls™"

[ratliker1917]

the fact that pro-monarchy arguments have degenerated, over the past few centuries, from “the king rules by divine right and is accountable to nobody but god”, to “uhm the royals generate a lot of income from tourism” will never stop being extremely funny to me

[ratlicker1917]

the monarchs… bad. but the castles? oh, the castles are positively lush with rats… 👅

Just to raise awareness at the situation in Canada right now to my non-Canadian followers: Toronto has been ranked as having the worst air quality in the world right now due to wildfires.

Toronto is not a wildfire-prone area. It is extremely close to the USA border, and the smog is currently affecting NY right now. There is literal chunks of debris in the air. The sky is orange, and the sun is nowhere to be seen.

Climate change and its effects are right outside your door. Data centres are the cause for the insane heat waves across the globe, and the increase in wildfires and other natural disasters.

You will watch recordings of the world burn around you, and only when you are behind the camera will you realize there is no going back.

Stop the data centres. Protect our planet.
