    Stunned. May her soul rest in peace and may our conscience and voices never rest until this attack on dissent and climate of fear ends.

    A few days after Sanatan Sanstha Activists are arrested by Mah ATS, raids are conducted & left leaning & renowned social activists are arrested. Coincidence.. maybe Diversionary tactic. For sure.

    If standing with the oppressed and with those who fight with the oppressed is urban Naxalism I am proud to add my name to your list

    Tons of people are already using on Twitter and Facebook. Let us destroy this new fascist wet dream of branding those who stand up for the underprivileged and marginalised sections of the society as Urban Naxals.

    this is a witchhunt by a government that is treating the constitution with the same disdain it treated dalits in the aftermath of bhima-koregaon. it hasn't taken long from the creation of the term, popularising it through pliant media outlets, to framing people with it.

    A pattern is emerging-the myth of the 'urban naxalite' is being whipped up. Any dissenter, or someone who works for marginalised communities, will now be called an 'urban naxal'. It will not be limited to maligning them. Arrests will follow. 1/2

    Those who lynch are garlanded, those who make hate speech elevated to high office. But those who fight for the poor, defend human rights, arrested.

    Shame that our bravest human rights defenders & intellectuals are being jailed for standing resolutely with India's dispossessed. But nothing will silence the voices of those who speak out for justice. They will only become stronger, more resolute, more powerful

    "That the raids are taking place on the homes of lawyers, poets, writers, Dalit rights activists and intellectuals, instead of on those who make up lynch mobs and murder people in broad daylight tells us very clearly where India is headed." - Arundhati Roy

    “We have been taught...” how to lynch. Chilling report.

    "We have been taught to not hit the head and chest; that can be fatal. We beat them in such a way so they get these serious, silent injuries — on the backs, on the legs — so they do not die. Otherwise, there will be a case against us"
