    Sad, but…the government is saying they won’t ask for old documents in rest of India. Right. So, what exactly is the NRC for in that case? The government already has the list of people who have their names in the voter’s list, it has the data of people with Aadhar, and PAN cards.

    Nearly one lakh people assemble and protest peacefully in Azad maidan Mumbai with no untoward incident. But how is it that only a few thousands create havoc in Lucknow and Ahmedabad inspite of Sec 144 and full police preparedness under “strong” BJP govts. Anyone?

    Short Thread - Philosoper, Prof Jason Stanley.

    I admit to being overly sensitive to being pontificated about Holocaust history. My grandmother saved 412 people from Sachsenhausen. Many of them, of course, were communists. Her driver was a non-Jewish communist. This is my family's history.

    As jumps in to release the “factsheet” from “sources”- I must say we trust the Home Minister much more - his reference to “termites” and the CAA and NRC sequence. So replugging -

    The world's two mega democracies, each in their own way enduring their bleakest constitutional day in a generation. Hard to say whose outlook is worse, or whose leader is doing more to destroy the ideals of their respective founding documents.

    Peaceful protest was one of Gandhi’s nobel tenets. But police in BJP-ruled states stamped all over it today by using Section 144, a law drafted by British colonialists.

    Mahatma Gandhi’s ideals and principles give strength to the entire world. For us, Gandhi-150 is not merely a year long celebration. It inspires us to keep furthering the noble tenets of Gandhian philosophy, which have the potential to empower millions.

    Has there ever been a situation where judges were shamed in open court for not standing up for civil liberties of the citizens?

    Delhi HC issues notice and posts the matter for 4 February, facing loud screams of "shame, shame" from the lawyers.

    A child of the Constitution. Wonderful.

    Kolkata, city of my father and half of my lineage, today. I saw someone holding a placard that said: ‘My parents are from two religions, I’m a child of the constitution’ and that indeed is what I am. I’ve never been asked my religion in any country or to justify my identity. 🙏🏼
