So, I gave a TEDX talk about an issue I've been covering as a journalist for a decade & a reality that I've been living. Did you know, the price you are PAYING for climate change is hidden in your water bill. Watch to reevaluate your accounts. @tedxnapier https://t.co/77GnQVNe5g

Dear @TVKVijayHQ You asked how this happened only in #Karur In all your earlier rallies too, people fainted, traffic blocked for hours and fans going around in bikes in a rash manner. Not addressing it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.Good @dsureshkumar https://t.co/zfl7Ye7my2

When people are hurt, a leader must -Take responsibility -Apologise -Show empathy Instead, with the #TVKVijayStampede we see only a dirty blame game. Leaders pointing fingers. Telling what the others could've done. The focus drifts from the people, the core of democracy.

#TVKVijay alleges political vendetta. Confidently tells CM can find him at office or at home to be arrested, but leave party members alone. #KarurTragedy

Yes,it’s important for children and young adults to be interested in the politics of their country. But taking kids, as young as two years old, to political rallies , is just a major human rights violation. The blazing heat adds to the lack of infrastructure. #Karur #tvkstampede

Heartbreaking. Watching mothers clutch on to their little babies. How waving to a favourite star and an aspiring politician has led to death and irreparable loss. It is #TVKVijay & #DMK responsibility to assess situations and be well prepared. This is bizarre. #tvkstampede

I wrote this piece out of sheer desperation, a reflection of our grim reality, abandoned by the world and enduring our darkest days amid hunger and starvation. Via @AJEnglish https://t.co/4OzMOJWxtT

This is heartbreaking and outrageous! I truly hope @tnpoliceoffl takes strict action and puts an end to this cruelty once and for all! @mkstalin @Udhaystalin @CMOTamilnadu @Chief_Secy_TN @CollectorCbe #Pollachi https://t.co/UUpypLh0Vx

Over 40% of India’s solar parks now sit on farmland. In the rush to renewables, it’s often farmers & landless workers who lose lands and livelihoods. Clean energy must not cost the earth for those who feed us. Spectacular storytelling by @aparna596 https://t.co/VkJdpUgmBZ

And while we tell stories, there's so much that stays in the notebook. About how kids have quit school due to lack of motivation or money. How monsoon is making the roof leak. How the neighbours don't share food.@Article14live Here is a little of that: https://t.co/8h2RMa9c5r

“I’m trembling because all my children have quit school” At the home of a #TamilNadu #Dalit cook who died after police custody, @smitha_tk found a quiet crisis unfolding—as it does so often in #India—a family derailed, children living with unaddressed trauma, futures stalled &

Looks like we are hitting new lows every day. Wow.

Since @mkstalin has spoken over the phone to custodial victim Ajith's family and ensured justice, compensation. It's the DMK fanboys who will run haywire on social media praising the Chief minister. I would like to bring notice to a news article by @Article14live last week by

Homosexuality is not perversion or unnatural .Same sex relationships are not a crime . As an Ambedkarite I am really proud of Babasaheb Ambedkar who stood by a gay couple and fought for their rights in the court. VCK president Tirumavalavan should unlearn his gender bias , queer

@Article14live Anju, Raja’s wife said to me before I left: Our caste and class come before our cause. It’s been a year, and their voices have been silenced, kids have quit school and society has shunned them. Their story : https://t.co/8h2RMa9c5r @Article14live #CustodialDeathTamilNadu

Every few months, one case of brutality trends. We discuss it, courts call for attention and then the race to justice just fizzles. Just like the case of Raja from Villupuram. It’s been over a year and the family has got no justice. @Article14live #CustodialDeathTamilNadu

A heartbreaking video showing Ajith Kumar being beaten by the police has surfaced. 'Custodial death is violative of the fundamental right of a person,' said the court. But of the 1,727 custodial deaths (2001–18), only 26 cops were convicted nationwide; TN recorded 0 convictions.

Anju, cannot read or write. After death of her husband—a #Dalit cook—in #TamilNadu police custody a year ago, she was made to sign blank papers. An FIR was filed in her name, without her consent. The penurious family reflects a national crisis, reports @smitha_tk

Sigh. Okay like, how many more times do we have to do these empty 'pride' posts? It is a democracy where the people elect leaders who work for the people. So it must be highlighted only if a leader is being obnoxious and blocking the roads for his smooth drive.
