Do you know how long 5 years are?
Of captivity, endless waiting, of losing hope, deprived of the night skies, of the touch loved ones, of sounds of the streets. Of the unbearable heaviness of time.

Just saw a picture of an erstwhile communist doing what appeared (from the markings on his forehead) to be a very brahminical pooja.
Aise ladegi BJP se Congress?
Kab samjhenge aap ki BJP se achha BJP nahi banaa jaa sakta. Na achha BJP chahiye.
Bedaa gark hi hona hai desh ka phir to.

Video of the day 🫶♥️
Rajeev Ranjan of News 24 went to a group of Kanwars and asked him if they care who they buy their food from.
The response from these young Kanwars will give you goosebumps.
Watch and share this clip like wildfire 🔥

Yes. The drafts of the legislation came from part-timers whose full time occupation was teaching in Law Schools. The drafts were hurried through Parliament with a suspended opposition. The evil that the laws will do will be visible over the years. It is #Demonetisation again.
#WATCH | On Congress leader P Chidambaram's remarks over new criminal laws, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar says, "...Are we part-timers in Parliament? Inexcusable insult to the wisdom of Parliament...I am shocked beyond words. Please beware of the minds who deliberately as a strategy, by way of narrative, try to run down our nation, demean our institution, taint our progress...they engage in criticism for the sake of criticism. I don't have words strong enough to condemn such kind of narratives being set afloat. An MP is being labelled part-timer...I appeal to him from this platform, please withdraw this derogatory, defamatory and highly insulting observation to MPs. I hope he does it"

today has been a horrible day of discovering how many people my own age who I thought rational are actually closeted hindutva extremists I've been scrolling through stories like "oh you too?" and now I'm just watching this on loop because I'm glad young people like this exist

A cartoon from Brazil —it is shameful but true that India is today the disinformation hub of the world.
Terrible and dangerous ride to the airport wee hours today.
The driver was clearly overworked.
@Uber_India , you need to send your drivers to rest and catch up on sleep after stipulated hours of them logging in.
