Hi folks, I've started a substack blog and the first post is a long-form essay about impact of the Mutiny in 1857 on the massacre in Amritsar in 1919. I don't think we get enough context in our books and movies. If you like it, please share and subscribe!

Also Lincoln's was not particularly interested in feeding the slaves. He was rather pragmatic about it.
His sole goal was saving the Union. Before the war, he promised the South that they could keep the slaves and once war broke out, he promised the slaves freedom if they fought

Tata is being criminally destroyed, and no business leader dares say a word.
How long will you stay silent? Until they own you?
Indian business is not Modi and Shah's plaything. You lack courage. We don't. We will ensure justice for these crimes.
I thought everyone knew that Gaza was the graveyard of Western liberalism

first you delete . then you make an appeal to apply using form 6 with an illegal declaration ( liable with a 1 year jail term for misrepresentation) that you are a "first time voter"!!
The election Commission and its proceedures are a cruel joke on people, democracy, and citizens
VIDEO | Karnataka Chief Electoral Officer V Anbukumar says, "I appeal to all the eligible voters of Karnataka. If your name is not there in the electoral roll, kindly apply through Form 6, your name will be definitely added into the electoral roll after due verification. I could assure, we have taken lot of special drives, campaigns and publicity campaigns. So, every voter is aware of and I specially appeal to voters who complete 18 years of age. The moment you complete 18 years of age, kindly apply immediately, definitely enrol your name into the electoral roll."

Bizarre incident.
Citizens cleaned Ane Park near Bengaluru on their own by crowd funding.
When they came next day they saw poster of BJP MLA Ashwath Narayana taking credit for it.
This made them furious and they are calling this out.

This tells us that if you’re a journalist in any country, please don’t be a government mouthpiece. Otherwise, you’re going to have tough days ahead.

📺 “We reported events one-sidedly for years”: Serbian TV apologizes to viewers after Vučić's party loses the election
Radio Television of Vojvodina (RTV) opened its news broadcast with footage of celebrations following the Student List's election victory — scenes it had failed to show the previous evening.
“For years, we failed to fulfill our duty. We kept silent, turned a blind eye, reported events one-sidedly, and failed to ask the necessary questions. For that, we owe our viewers an apology,” news anchor Goran Eror said.
Following the controversy, RTV's acting editor-in-chief Nenad Čačić resigned.
A similar incident occurred in Hungary, where state television also apologized to viewers after Viktor Orbán's election defeat.

Adani is suing me for ₹50 crore, apparently valuing the damage to his reputation at that amount.
I contend that wealth acquired through alleged wrongdoing does not confer credibility or reputation.
My valuation of that reputation? ₹0.
And if the reputational damage is zero, the compensation should be zero.
₹50 crore demanded. ₹0 deserved.

Never marched with freedom fighters against the British. Never marched with workers for more wages. Never marched with farmers for land rights. Never marched with women for their safety and empowerment. Never marched with students to condemn paper leak. But they keep marching...

Brazil tried Bolsonaro, saw the damage, and brought Lula back.
India tried Modi, saw the damage, and kept voting for him.
The difference? Education. An educated society recognises its mistakes and corrects them. An uneducated one defends them.

i want everyone to know brazil just won against fascism
despite them having the media on their pockets and the elites on their side
despite millions of dollars of american interventionism
despite totally unrealistic odds
if we can do it, so can you
Ayush retweeted
When you like Lula or hate him the fact that we won’t see Bolsonaro gift all of Brazil’s wealth to Trump’s friends has to be good news
Ayush retweeted
If Lula wins, remember he will have won overcoming a very clear and organised campaign of voter suppression…
