What could be more cruel than having to sit on hunger strike, seeking justice for one’s son’s death (a.k.a. institutional murder!), all the while facing a media trial by our vulturous Godi media? Whatever happened to the civilisational values of ‘nyay’, compassion, etc.!

A Shani Mandir sits in the middle of a road near my home. Meanwhile, a 600 yr old mosque faces demolition in the name of road widening. I'm not a believer, but wouldn't it be nice to use the same yardstick, and compassion, for places of cultural significance, across religions?

French philosopher Ernest Renan once said: "The essence of a nation is that all individuals have many things in common, and also that they are obliged to have already forgotten many things."
So here's one such forgotten past from #Mundra, Kutch, before it became a glitzy SEZ!

Bravo, @RitikaChopra__!
The Election Commission of India is under fire like never before.
The SIR has struck 13 crore names off draft rolls, putting the EC at the centre of intense public debate over its role in deciding who gets to vote — and who doesn’t.
HOWEVER, what nobody knew: through that same period, some of the sharpest questions were being asked from inside.
Out today, after months of work. Our #ExpressInvestigation 🧵

A (Bengali) colleague of mine tells me today that her 6 yr old son came back home yesterday from a Noida school and refused to eat fish for dinner (otherwise a staple), because a teacher brainwashed the kid. Where the fuck are we heading? What’s this “purity” all about? Madness!

Rajasthan has some amazing cuisine -- from Laal Maas to Dal Baati Churma to Ker Sangri. But Gatta Curry ain't one of them (certainly not the version that the Ashoka mess serves)! 😁

Cooked some @Manxho_ pork this weekend for some very dear friends, and I poured my heart into it! (Slow cooked and very simple stuff — no oil, no regular Indian spices.)

Dear friends, please do subscribe to @CharulataB's YouTube channel. She's a dear friend and I'm proud of her journalism -- she's got her conscience intact and spine straight in these times of GodiMedia.
