What I have felt about cats and dogs and possibly all animals is that they won't violate me for existing. I feel an immediate safety when sharing space with them.

to another under charges framed by the UAPA. He's accused of the same crime as others like Umar Khalid and Gulfisha Fatima.
What the Indian Constitution defines as the fundamental right to freedom of expression has become grounds for incarceration.

3yrs ago on July 17, 2022 around 5am, Jharkhand police suddenly raided the home of independent journalist Rupesh Kumar Singh in Ramgarh. By 1pm, the police finally produced an arrest warrant and took Rupesh into custody.
Since that day, he has been shuttled from one prison

Closeness is a choice. Our selves can open up to the whole world.
They kill us for who we are in a world with class antagonisms.

simply die or face arrest & incarceration without bail for years.
Truth is this has been the norm for decades & while they're audacious about their tactics, the state underestimates what people will do to survive if they are pushed in a corner.
and anyone supporting then spends years in jail under UAPA or sedition laws.
Things even reached a point in Manipur where Kukis in Assam Rifles faced FIR for preventing Manipur police officials from carrying out operations in tribal areas.
The norm is either run till you can,
violence against Dalits simply participating in annual celebrations faced FIRs but continued to roam free.
The same goes for Bastar, where Kalluri never faced a probe & Salwa Judum members were legitimised in a new paramiliyary unit, while tribals either leave, get labeled naxal
from a district court because they simply did not want to investigate his role.
Such blatant mockery of justice & manipulation of process was seen in Bhima Koregaon where Elgar Parishad activists spent years in jail while Milind Ekbote & Shambhaji Bhide accused of instigating
riots & everyone from Umar Khalid to Khalid Saifi, who was seen with them, possibly during peaceful protests was also charged for conspiracy & is languishing in jail while Mishra only got an FIR against him that too after a trial court order that Delhi police got a stay against
they brought in mobs after Kapil Mishra had given an ultimatum to hit the streets if protesters aren't removed.
They were targeted on the streets & in their homes to be slaughtered by hindutva mobs, & when they refused to simply die & resisted, they were accused of planning the
Hindutva weaponises tried & tested tactics of Brahminism, that were first deployed against oppressed castes & tribals.
First they push the oppressed into a corner, then they hit back, only to be labeled seditious or naxals, thrown in jail or shot dead in encounters.
In Delhi
When will we stop ragging on politicians and nations like its a comedy central roast and do some investigating? Aren't yall tired of putting up this shtick?
