As Jeo Baby's The Great Indian Kitchen wins big at the Kerala State Film Awards, here is my rather late review of the film, highlighting certain key aspects which needs reemphasis in my opinion.
Please read and share. Feedback welcome :)

26.4 thousand tweets, most are abusive, rape and death threats, calling me a terror sympathiser. Most tweets are by the Indian right wing & Saudi nationalists who are attacking me after i posted a tweet in solidarity with Yemen and calling out the Saudis. Hello

This is the story of every 'riot' in India. Yet, the narrative peddled is that Muslims are the aggressors and conspirators. It simply defies all logic. Former IPS Vibhuti N Rai has written extensively about how Muslims have never started a riot, coz it's never in their interests!
Quote Tweet
Over 3/4ths of those killed in the NE Delhi violence were MusIim, most of those seriously injured were MusIim, the worst property damage was also sustained by Muslims, police either chose to look away or at some places (like in this case) attack MusIims.
These are FACTS. twitter.com/ShadySodhi/sta…

A religious minority in South Africa is able to assert his religious identity without the fear of hate and abuse. Would the same happen here? What do you think the comment section would look like if Shami or Siraj post Allahu Akbar?

Reservation is a form of affirmative action to combat systematic caste oppression. So it can be applied to every setup in a caste-based society, be it sports/arts, and not just eduction/employment. So, “you need reservations in cricket also?” is not the insult you think it is.

Why is Annapurna, Anandswaroop and the other accused of the Haridwar Dharam Sansad not in jail?
Quote Tweet
Aligarh Dharm Sansad which was to be held on 22-23 January but was cancelled due to elections will now take place on 2-3 April. Mahamandleshwar Annapurna Bharti announced this and again gave a call for Hindus to pick weapons. She is yet to be arrested.

But do any of these other groups practice caste based discrimination?
Quote Tweet
What shall we do with any white, Black, Latino, or Asian faculty?
Oh yes, this policy doesn’t apply to them.
@calstate, this is the opposite of a facially neutral, generally applicable policy.
Any form of discrimination is wrong, but the solution isn’t more discrimination.

So essentially the SPP is implying that if you are on a WhatsApp group, you can be held responsible for the messages sent by other members in the group.
Such astounding levels of absurdity in the arguments against Umar Khalid.
Quote Tweet
Umar Khalid did Not send that particular message, which SPP quoted. Umar had made a total of four messages in that group. Attributing everything on umar without any substantiation is a part of the framing. twitter.com/darab_farooqui…

Such an absurd allegation of “defending terrorists” being casually thrown at here with no substance whatsoever. Just because she stood up in solidarity with Yemenis and called out the brutality committed by Saudi Arabia.

Surprised why anyone would want to defend those who killed 2 Indians in a terror attack in UAE. Sad if this is true, if an Indian journalist is defending them. twitter.com/hsajwanization…

You started by accusing me of defending terrorists when I just put out a tweet in solidarity with Yemen. How much more skewed and dangerous can it get ? Your tweet has unleashed ugly right wing harassment and abuses against me. twitter.com/priyankac19/st

The Portuguese word for citrus fruit, naranja (Pronounced nar-an-ha) is very similar to the Malayalam word naranga.
The Portuguese call clove cravoda, in Malayalam it is karayamboo.
Vinegar is vinagre in Portuguese and vinnagiri in Malayalam.

Hinduphobia is nothing but a myth, and the upper caste Hindu diaspora uses it to protect itself from being criticized for caste discrimination.

No amount of Modi PR & spin; sharpening communal polarisation through hate & violence; calls for genocide can divert from this truth:
Modi govt’s policies creating two India’s-shining & suffering.
For “India, that is Bharat” Bjp must be defeated.

Btw the people you are quoting also justified the murder of my former colleague and journalist Jamal Khashoggi by the Saudis. A murder that outraged the world. As a responsible Member of Parliament, you should certainly read my original tweet instead of quoting proxies on twitter

In the future, India will obviously beat South Africa in cricket. It's a part of the game
But the sheer arrogance of UC Indian fans, transforming their homegrown casteism into racism for South Africa's black players needed to be smashed. And I'm glad South Africa smashed it 5-1

The special public prosecutor is so unqualified that he cannot even differentiate between someone’s beliefs and their identity. Hopefully the court knows better.

Is the SPP trying to imply here that being a Muslim and joining a WhatsApp group of Muslim students a crime? This argument is just proving what we all know- that Umar is being targeted for being a Muslim.

His name was Faizan.

Apart from the fact that this is (deliberately) specious logic, the entire debate betrays the Islamophobia behind his (and others') arrests. What is the purpose of "proving" what his religious beliefs are? You are admitting that the crime he is being tried for is being Muslim

Globally,women are 3-4 times more engaged in unpaid care work than men.
Just think about your own house.Whenever people in the house fall sick, who spends more time catering to their needs?If everyone is sick, who gets the least rest, because she'd be taking care of others?(1/n)
