1000s of our volunteers have been detained across Maharashtra, UP and Bengal, on the grounds that they were planning to attend the Oct 10th protest. In Kolkata, Abdul and team were picked up by people in plain clothes and have been taken to undisclosed locations. These states have become completely crime free and hence the police is busy detaining peaceful students. Karo, kitno ko arrest karoge? 2.5cr cockroaches hai.

Amazing! Do MeToo-accused Suhel Seth next. Once that's done, maybe bring back Subramanian Swamy. It's been a minute right? Actually, why not just whip the ol' Ouija board and resurrect Savarkar from the dead. I'm sure he has plenty opinions too.

I hope Amit Shah does not resort to violence on 10th. Best of luck to all the protectors!

Apparently you need permission to roam the streets.

I have said this before and I am saying it again: the government wants to create major unrest in the country by pitting citizens against citizens. They want to create a civil war-like situation. But we, the young generation have always remained PEACEFUL. I urge @DelhiPolice to ensure such right-wing extremists do not enter protest zone or kill any protester. Detain them before they leave their houses. The fault will entirely be of the BJP government and Delhi Police if anything untoward happens. This terrorist is clearly inciting fringe elements to create violence against young citizens. @Cockroachisback

Also the reason for the tragic quality of public conversations in India.

Op-ed pages in newspapers are supposed to feature critical articles. What we see these days often are puff pieces by politicians, unreadable mumbo jumbo by wannabe academics and ghostwritten fluff from corporate brand builders. More critical stuff is happening now in YouTube videos, podcasts and Instagram Reels. Democracy doesn't wait. It just moves homes. #journalism

VIDEO | Delhi: CJP co-convenor Saurav Das after submitting notice for October 10 protest at Jantar Mantar says, "CJP and all the youth of the country, meaning all the comrades, are going to reach Jantar Mantar on October 10. We have formally informed the Delhi Police and requested them to cooperate with us while maintaining the law and order situation. Based on our discussions, they have also taken an undertaking from us. We have completed all the formalities required and given the undertaking, and we expect the Delhi Police to cooperate... youth of the country are coming out on the streets again, and this time they will not leave the streets until Gyanesh Kumar resigns. I want to tell you again that this is not just a movement or protest of CJP; this is a protest by Gen-Z and the youth. Therefore, all the youth of the country should come. Our slogan is 'Chalo Delhi'. All comrades should assemble, and until NTA's resignation, we will not return. We expect a large number of people to come, and accordingly, we have informed the police."

Why does the Supreme Court have to spend anytime on this issue?

There is a crazy level of conspiracy thinking among all sections of people in India, even though organization leaders themselves are united. What did we make all the sacrifices we made for, if not to get BJP out? How does it matter who contributes to that effort?

Who gets remembered when we tell the history of capitalism in India? Tata. Birla. Bajaj. Godrej; Parsis. Marwaris. Jains. Banias. What about the Bohras, Khojas & Memons? They were among Bombay's most important trading communities. Their story is the subject of my new book. 1/10

Strongly condemn the illegal detention of the Leader of Opposition. EVERY citizen of this country has a right to protest peacefully. The LoP is duty-bound to raise issues concerning the people of this country. That includes Gyanu’s illegal actions. Is this the country our freedom fighters dreamt of? Shame.

Hi, expert in virology here (I used to play Plague Inc.) The silver lining to this grim news is that when a pathogen is extremely deadly, it's actually less likely to become a pandemic since there's less opportunity for it to spread amongst the population

See, this is what we want robots for. Clean waterways, sweep streets, etc.
