Our Prime Minister, the Potterhead:

Stashed carefully beneath copies of the Manusmriti, ‘Hindu Rashtra Darshan’ and ‘Deceiving Voters 101’, would be a yellowing copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – highlighted pages and all.

'Musings of an Anti-National'

By Ayushman Basu for LW

"I live in a country which was founded on love and faith
But now I’m being taught to fear and hate
Come share with me this collective fate
Where the people are prisoners by the will of the state.

I feel numb, succumbed by these insecurities
Where the roads are wet with the blood of minorities
The rich are safe in their high security
Tearing us apart with corrupt authority..."

#newindia making examples out of leaders and presenting it to the nation. It's intentions and capabilities.

How politicians were treated in captivity to make them fall in line.
