Indias MuslimsModi’s new citizenship law will rip open the wounds of Partition
This is a systematic legal design for the persecution of just one religious minority in India, Muslims.
Hindus come in, Muslims get out. That is the message of CAB and NRC

Kannan GopinathanSome news clippings of the talk in Patna yesterday at Patna College. Patna University has been a source and starting point of so many democratic struggles in our country. Privileged to speak & interact there.
Sushant SinhaAn opinion writer, who had no empathy for 100s of deaths due to demonetization and continued peddling us snake oil, doesn't deserve my empathy.
stux⚡️I like to clarify why we don’t have a verification system like the #birdsite with the blue thingy next to your name.
On the #fediverse or at least #Mastodon we all are equal. No person is ‘higher in ranks’ or better than everyone else, our point is exactly the opposite. We want equality right?
We have plenty of methods to prove who you are on other platforms, we don’t need a badge for that 😉 Ofcourse you can use it however you like but this would be the reason, I’ll hope you’ll understand
MalluSocialistThe issues plaguing birdsite India isn't a bug, it's by design. Their entire business model is dependent upon giving maximum reach for terrible takes on divisive issues and profiting off of the subsequent moral outrage.
Capitalism didn't give you internet. Much of what you see in internet came from volunteer labour of open source projects.
Capitalism gave you paywalls and hundred spam mails a day and sites you can't open because a thousand ads are covering the entire content.
The Last of her NameCentralised power structures are always going to be simpler to manage and use. Platforms like Facebook, Insta and twitter are designed to control your attention. So all of us are habituated to certain ways of using social media as opposed to others. Taking back the control of our attention and employing it in places that doesn't tell you where or what to look at, is going to be hard. But it's neccesary. This is going to require persistence, willingness to learn and adapt.
