Growing up Muslim in the shadow of the Babri demolition meant learning fear in small, intimate ways. I still remember a childhood drawing class—when I sketched a mosque, a friend whispered: “Don’t draw that, Asad… they’ll break it anyway.” #BabriMasjid

This is ..legit sedition? Declaring the dawn of a 2nd Republic with a flag that's not the 🇮🇳 flag. Sec 152 of the BNS penalises activities that excite subversive activities or encourage feelings of separatist activities or endanger the sovereignty or unity & integrity of India.

Blatant victimisation of migrant labourers. They clearly mention that they are going to Arunachal and 44 of them have come to work on transmission line from J & K with valid work orders! Journalist asks - how do they look? Answered by the person - they look Pakistani …1/n
