Democracy is slow, everything won't get better in a day or a decade, but it is important for democracy to survive because you won't have the power to make choices in other systems.
Vote for inclusive policies, vote for a sustainable future.

my goal is to get to a place where i don’t judge people on *anything* other than their values. everything else is either not their choice, and/or is none of my business. #MoralFramework

Ram Mandir will be a dream for many, but they way it is built, will make it a representation of degradation of India's secularism. #RamMadir #SecularIndia

Whatever be the context, calling zindabad to another nation shouldn't be a crime. A nation is its people and they are humans like us. If we look for our differences, we can see selfish intentions of few people.
We have reduced ourselves to a place where calling zindabad to what was once our sister, has became sedition.Hate doesn't solve anything, nor building up a nation hating another. May the people understand and love each other, irrespective of boundaries. #PakistanZindabad #IndiaZindabad

Our biggest weapon is our nonviolence, their tactics to provoke us is their fear.
We will fight their violence with peace, Our weaponless hands will be their nightmare.
One day, the lies they cast to divide us will wear off, and we will find each other.
They are the fascists, and we are the people who care about the other. -
Government allocated around 2000 crore in 2019 budget to #AYUSH ministry to give pseudo health tips and kill us all?
What happens when someone has the disease and decide to treat with the government published protocol? What happens to those who around them? Either they are not taking this seriously or they are just plain stupid!
-
The ignorance of the government will harm the lives of its people. In a serious event like corona virus epidemic, they found it is convenient to plug homeopathy, ayurveda n unani based unverified methods. The stupidity mixed with stubbornness of those who elected to serve our nation will destroy the nation itself.
What national heritage we are trying to protect by killing its own people?

Victims whom mislead by community leaders and communists are opening up.

"I don't have a husband, and us ladies don't even get property papers," says Begum, a widow. "Everything is in the name of the husband, so how will a woman prove [citizenship] through her papers?"
"It is better to die here [protesting] than be put in detention camps."

Who are these people?
“It is these educated people, who live in cities, who speak English, these urban Naxals. It is they who are instigating attacks upon policemen, and urging mobs to shoot and kill them as they do their duty.”Modi went next level by telling his followers gathered at Ramlila Maidan to be ready to defend police and they were chanting/asking "give us a signal"
I think we should pick up a hint.

"In the past few years, women's participation in all mass movements has also increased because there have been consistent women-led movements to make the public domain more accessible."
"Women are not just protesting for their rights," she says, "but for the rights of everyone, in the hope that others will stand up for our rights too."
-
"My parents want me to get married soon. First, this country needs to stay worth having a family. It is now or never."
"The protest may have been led by men in many parts but how did they spread so quickly across the country? Because women students have been quietly working round the clock from their homes in an organised manner."

From Ernakulam. Long march is going on..

What are we planning to do after this? Even if we succeed?
Should we continue trusting the current political system that allowed this to happen? Or should we get out and be part of creating a new culture of politics?Passive participation in politics is proved not working, we need active participation. We need to do more than voting every once a while.
-
There are deliberate attempts to provoke the people, so that they can shift the blame when they start firing. Don't fall to that trap, protest peacefully. We fail when we are start violence.

Dear all,
When injustice becomes law, thee resistance becomes our duty. Calling on all Bangloreans to gather at Town Hall to voice our protest against the #unconstitutional #CAA as well as the unconstitutional imposition of prohibitory order under section #144. Police must be nonpartisan, and must act as the servants of the people, not puppets of the political dispensation. Please bring your own placards. We will not be silenced.
Place: Town Hall
Tina: 11am, Today -
At these times, we should be more careful about fake news, don't jump into conclusions or share news before doing a basic attempt verify them. It's easy for to disprove watered down truth and there will be attempts to manipulate our excitement to unite for our #democracy, we should not fall for such traps.
#RejectNRC #RejectCAA #SaveDemocarcy -
If you are a non Muslim Indian, it adds an additional responsibility to show courage to join protests. Its up to you to nullify the attempts to brand protests against this antidemocratic act to create communal division.

“If you say that minorities cannot be given citizenship, no matter who says it, it won’t be accepted in Kerala. Kerala government is accountable to the Constitution and not the agenda which is being put forward by the RSS.”

Joint #Satyagraha is going on at Thiruvananthapuram, #Kerala by ruling and opposing parties.

If you haven't noticed that our #PrimeMinister want to bring communal division and our current #UnionGovernment is non-secular, I have to assume that you are doing it deliberately.

We are having a discussion about #NRC and #CAB at #Thiruvanathapuram, if anyone planning to join ping me.

This disobedience movement is not just a civil rights movement, this is political battle against fascism, to protect and uphold our constitution and and most importantly this is a social movement to rebuild our unity.
#CABNRCSatyagraha #CitizenAmendmentBill #BoycottNRC -
Citizenship Bill will be written in golden letters on the tombstone of our Democracy's grave.
#CitizenAmendmentBill #CABNRCSatyagraha -
I Kannan V M, believe #CitizenAmendmentBill is unconstitutional and evil intended. I pledge that I will not submit any documents for the purpose of NRC and I refuse to be part of it.
-
It's our elected representatives who passed #CitizenAmendmentBill at Lok Sabha and the same if it will pass in Rajya Sabha, its our elected Union government who put ignored rights of #Kashmir.
We should not forget its us, the people who own the power. -
We shouldn't be begging to include in #CitizenAmendmentBill, we should stand together and outright reject it. Even if they accept, there is no assurance that this acceptance will stay forever.
Begging for acceptance to CAB does nothing but contribute to the existing communal division. #ShiaCentralWaqfBoard #MuslimExclusionBill -
The problem demands a social change, involving both activism and politics.
As activists, We should conduct awareness campaigns on variety of topics, for different sections of society. We should protest to show our demands, but it should not converge to just bringing capital punishment for a few, our problem is bigger and difficult to approach.
Politically, we need to influence our netas and parties to implement policies that can bring long term changes to society.
-
We need to demand political parties and netas to show their stands and what their policies on these issues. If nobody is out there for you, you could be representative too, there might be many who are like minded and waiting for someone.
-
How serious are our government on spending #Nirbhaya funds? What are the policy level changes or educational level reforms to address this issue in long term? Our representatives wash their hands giving few lakhs and a job to the victims family.
#unnao #HyderabadGangRape -
We need representatives who care about this, who would understand the importance of this issue. Tjis not just a justice to a victim issue, this is the broader issue of suppression on women, society induced or self induced because of the society.
-
We need to change our ways, rather than protesting against few who done the crime, we should protest against the system. We need to change it or we will have to continue to live in fear of whose names will have to be faked next, what will I do if it was me, because public spaces are not strange to rape.
#unnao #HyderabadGangRape -
We saw huge protests, we were part of them and these weren't the first. But it seems, this made no impact. We had to note down another fake name very next day.
#unnao #HyderabadGangRape -
After all that #rage and final #encounter killing of Hyderabad accused criminals, the news about rapes didn't stop and another rape victim was burned to death on very next days.
What does this show?
#unnao #HyderabadGangRape -
We were born in same soil,
we speak the same language,
that's all we need to come together. -
But when you have the power,
don't do to anyone what they did to us.
It's easy to deepen hate.
But we must rise above it. Thats what is important.

Chidambaram..
If we own farmlands,
they will seize it.
If we have money,
they will snatch it.
But if we have EDUCATION,
they can never take it away from us.
If you really want to win against them..
STUDY..
Study hard and sit on a powerful position.
#Caste #Education #Asuran -
You saw injustice being committed.
You fought it in a way you felt was right.
But this is not the only way to stand up to them. -
Sivasami (father): Did we go through all this for you to end up in prison?
Vadakooraan owned all the farmlands in our village. They could live of it for generations.
And yet our few acres made him so angry,
That was their mistake.
The police and courts didn't even help us get your brother's body,
That was their mistake.
Brooding over your brother's death, we neglected you and the baby girl,
That was our mistake. -
Here is an inspiring scene from the movie #Asuran. This is a conversation between the father who is about to get sentenced for his son's crime.
His first son was killed by Vadakooraan, an upper caste landlord who was greedy for Sivasami's farmland. Sivasami's second son killed Vadakooraan as a revenge.
Asuran is a must watch movie for its plot and the message.
