- Ruin the universities that exist. Celebrate the ruins of the ones that don’t.
- We were in Tikuri village for 5 hours today & didn't't get a single drop of water to drink. Asking for water meant that a woman would walk in the scorching afternoon sun for an hour. Their house of 6 had half a bucket of water with twigs & dust in it, reserved for the children.
- Farmers sobbing and hugging each other as they bid their final goodbyes and leave from the Tikri Border. Many are taking soil from the protest site in jars to their homes in Punjab and Haryana. @TheQuint00:00
- "If Modi wants to give my sons four years in service, he should also be the PM for two years only." -Savita, 42, mother of two sons who are preparing for the army00:00
- Even pregnant women are forced to walk for 5-8 hrs everyday to get drinking water in Tikuri Village in Bundelkhand. The wells, borewells & hand-pumps have all run dry in the extreme heat. "When kids cry in the middle of night we give them contaminated water, what else can we do?"00:00
- Replying to @sadhika_tiwariAudio: "Thakur toh paida hota hai lathi khane ke liye" "Isko (Chandra Shekhar) bharosa nahin hai CBI par, ye aya hai raajneeti karne. Ek baar mulaqat kar tujhko bharosa dila denge. Bahar aa tere mulaqat karne bhai aye hain tere bade"
- In Modi’s India hate crimes have become a political tool. I went back to Bihar Sharif a year after the 113 yo madarasa was burnt down. While things may seem normal, it has destroyed the communal fabric of this town We dissect this fear, its weaponisation & the larger trend 👇00:00
- "We have nothing to feed our children but salt & chapatis, in summer months we even ration the water they drink even when they cry." People in Tikuri village have trained themselves to drink not more than 2 litres of water a day, most days even less despite the dehydrating heat.
- Remember Nasir Ali? The man who was harassed by the Bajrang Dal for selling shoes with 'Thakur' engraved on the sole in Bulandshahr in Jan 2021. A year on we tracked him and went down to meet him and his family to find out what he is doing now and how has his life changed.
- One can't even imagine the harrowing night @zoo_bear must've have had yesterday. So much strength and power to him. We should all be ashamed for letting this happen.
- Guess who is the Panchayat ward candidate in #Hathras? This man's wife, because it's a reserved seat Read the last line on the campaign poster, doesn't look like the woman's campaigningThakur men, who have been staging the "Savarn Jago" protest outside the Victim's village, call out @BhimArmyChief who has reached Hathras to meet the victim's family.
- Manisha Valmiki's mother (center, grey-red sari) angry at insensitive questions shouted, "Ques. the govt, question the Thakurs, not us. They don't even touch us, but to rape they found our daughter? Evyday v r belittled, we have no power. Powerful people twisting d narrative"
