In Gujarat’s Sabarkantha, Violence, Discrimination and Social Boycott are Pushing Dalit Families to Flee

An exodus may be imminent in some Gujarat villages, where members of the Dalit community have alleged they are increasingly facing harassment, intimidation and violence at the hands of upper-caste communities and OBC communities.
“It will happen, if not today, then very soon,” says Somabhai, a resident of Rupal village in Gujarat’s Sabarkantha district, alleging that the upper-caste communities do not wish to see their community prosper.
On May 18, members of the Dalit community from villages in Sabarkantha district submitted a memorandum to the Resident Additional Collector at the district office in Himmatnagar demanding immediate intervention and protection from such atrocities.

Why do some Indian diaspora communities support Hindu nationalism from abroad?

Why do some members of the Indian diaspora support Hindu nationalism from abroad? In other words, what motivates this attachment, what does it bring them emotionally or socially, and how does the ideology travel and take root outside of India?

Edit: Not a bot! I'm a PhD student researching transnational nationalism, trying to understand why Hindus in the diaspora maintain ties to Hindu nationalist ideology, how that ideology is transmitted across borders, and what emotions are attached to it. Sorry, I didn't know the posting standards here :)

Note: there's surprisingly little survey data on this specifically, which is part of why I'm researching it. The HSS (the overseas arm of the RSS) now has over 500 branches in 39 countries, which gives some sense of the organizational scale.

A Call for Awakening: Rebuilding India Through Unity, Discipline, and Reform

Brothers and sisters , the greatest danger to a nation is not poverty, not hardship, not struggle — it is a population that has stopped believing it can change its future.

India is full of talent, intelligence, energy, and potential, yet millions remain trapped between corruption, division, blind distraction, and systems that no longer serve the people properly. The youth are told to consume endlessly, obey silently, and never question why society continues repeating the same failures generation after generation.

But history has never been changed by passive people. Every great transformation began when ordinary people decided they would no longer accept weakness, decay, and stagnation as normal.

A nation cannot rise when its people are divided against each other, when institutions lose discipline, and when culture becomes driven only by entertainment instead of purpose. We need organization. We need direction. We need people who are willing to dedicate themselves to rebuilding society instead of endlessly complaining about it.

This movement is not built on empty promises. It is built on discipline, unity, intelligence, and action. We believe India can become stronger, more organized, more educated, and more future-focused — but only if a new generation rises with the courage to challenge decay and build something greater.

No one is coming to save society for us. The responsibility belongs to those willing to stand up, think independently, and work relentlessly for reform.

If you believe India deserves a stronger future, then stop being a spectator to history. Become part of those who will shape it.

If u want to join a collective organization dm me

The Tata-BJP semiconductor loophole: how taxpayer cash got rotated into campaign funds

The chronological link between the SC electoral bond ban, a 1.18 Lakh Crore chip factory deal, and hundreds of crores flowing straight back to the BJP is wild when you look at the dates.

Let's make one thing clear up front because a lot of people get this wrong: This is NOT a tax waiver. Under the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), the govt is providing a 50% capital subsidy on a pari-passu basis. That means as Tata spends money building the structure, the govt cuts them direct cash checks for half the amount using public taxpayer funds. Tata does not have to pay this money back. It is a straight up cash grant, not a loan.

Here is how that public money got rotated:

  • Feb 15, 2024 | The Funding Pivot The Supreme Court bans anonymous Electoral Bonds. Corporate giants looking to maintain political access immediately pivot back to older, transparent Electoral Trusts (specifically the Tata-backed Progressive Electoral Trust).
  • Feb 29, 2024 | The 1.18 Lakh Crore Clearance The Union Cabinet fast-tracks approvals for Tata Electronics' mega chip plants: a Silicon Wafer Fab in Dholera, Gujarat, and an assembly plant in Jagiroad, Assam.
  • March 13, 2024 | The Taxpayer Handout The central govt commits a staggering 50% capital subsidy for the plants. Roughly ₹44,000 crore of public taxpayer money is greenlit as direct cash grants to fund Tata’s private tech infrastructure.
  • April 2, 2024 | The Rotation Complete Barely a month after securing their massive govty subsidies, Tata Group companies route ₹758 crore ($91.3 million) directly to the BJP via the Progressive Electoral Trust—making them the single largest corporate donor block to the party right before the general elections.
  • Feb 2026 | The ADR Reality Check The Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) releases consolidated financial reports confirming the pattern: Electoral Trusts funneled over 82% of all corporate funding straight to the BJP, with Tata Sons and TCS remaining the undisputed heavyweights of the trust pool.

*Cockroach Janta Party" movement is just Chaddis and angry Liberals.

On Instagram most of you guys must have seen the *cockroach janta party* and its 5 demands, one of demand it has is 50% reservation for women in Parliament

Now I don't think adding 50% percent reservation for women is a bad idea because they are half of the country's population, but then shouldn't be 40% of reservations given to OBCs, 22.5% percent given to SC/STs, 5-10% to religious minorities(i know 5-10% may sound stupid but many minorities are given OBC reservation), 1% to trans people 2% to disabled people.

Why are these issues not being demanded? If these concerns are ignored in this movement, doesn't it completely justify why reservation for these categories is so important for than ever.

The moment you mention this perspective all Liberals show up their original chaddi faces, they start attacking you, many savarna feminists that support this 50% reservation may start attacking you if you say 20%, 11%, 2.5%-5%, 1% out of this shall belong to women of the respective categories.

Also the top comments with most likes are something that is straight from a chaddi classiest playbook, like no freebies, exams for politicians, Gutka ban, ban reservation on caste or it shall be based on income, Only tax payers shall allow to be voted, etc

Not to mention if you say them to make demands to end our Glorious Indian army's occupation and war crimes in Kashmir and Manipur.

Today is Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day

May 18, 2026 marks the 17th anniversary of the day that the Sinhala Buddhist fascist Sri Lanka declared victory over the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (the Tamil Tigers).

From January 21, 2009 to May 18, 2009, Sri Lanka declared No-Fire Zones around hospitals, and then schools which were converted into makeshift hospitals and medical triages. This is a strategy that the former governor of Jenin and Bethelehem, Moshe Elad, has admitted to taking inspiration from.

As soon as the No-Fire Zones were declared, the Sri Lanka Armed Forces continuously shelled the hospitals relentlessly. On many occasions, they would "double-tap", i.e. fire a round of shelling into hospitals, kill several civilians to lure the family members out, and then fire another round of shelling to kill the family members.

Sri Lanka also continuously denied aid from entering the No-Fire Zones as they were shelling it, making them disease-ridden. There are examples of six-year-old children's arms and legs being amputated with butchers' knives with no anesthesia, people receiving multiple amputations on the same limb as previous amputations became gangrenous, people dying of dysentery and other preventable diseases due to the systematic denial of aid by the Sri Lankan government.

In addition to this, doctors who were in the No-Fire Zone were forced to lie at gunpoint in a news conference, severely downplaying the Tamil civilian casualties to nearly a 100-1000. UN estimates state that the death toll is 40,000-70,000, but the true death toll is likely much higher, roughly around 150K-175K.

There are also allegations of chemical weapons usage, specifically that of white phosphorus. Prageeth Ekneligoda, a Sinhalese journalist investigating the usage of white phosphorus by the Mahinda Rajapaksa administration during this time, was disappeared in 2010, never to be heard from again.

Shortly after May 18, the Sri Lanka Armed Forces rounded up several LTTE combatants and civilian Tamils, and proceeded to torture and kill them. The 12-yr-old son of the LTTE leader, Velupillai Prabhakaran, was killed with 5 shots to the chest at point blank range.

In another high profile case, Isaipriya, a news reporter, was captured by the Sri Lankan army, sexually assaulted, and killed. A Sinhala soldier then proceeded to say about Isaipriya: "I would like to fuck it again", heavily implying that they also sexually assaulted her corpse.

This is probably going to fly under the radar for most of you, but I will not let you people forget the Tamil genocide. I, as an Indian Tamil, saw all of this go down in 2009 on TV, and I never allow you to ignore this.

I have not included any graphic images in here. If you want proof of what I'm saying, you can watch Grief-Stricken Winds.

You can watch Parts 1 and 2 of Grief-Stricken Winds, my docuseries on the Tamil genocide and ongoing occupation, with Part 3 slated for November this year: https://grief-stricken-winds.com

Another thing to understand is that the occupation of the Tamils is ongoing, even after the Sri Lankan govt declared victory, they continued to disappear Tamils in white vans, torture them, sexually assault them brutally, and in some cases allegedly feed their dead bodies to crocodiles.

You can read about the sexual assaults over at ITJP: https://itjpsl.com/reports . In particular there are reports such as "Unsilenced" that are a compilation of the sexual violence Tamil men and boys specifically suffered at the hands of the Sri Lankan state AFTER the war ended in the Mullivaikkaal massacres of 2009.

There is an entire non-exhaustive Wikipedia article of sexual assaults the Sri Lankans have engaged in against the Tamils: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_violence_against_Tamils_in_Sri_Lanka

There are far more resources than this but I'll keep it to a minimum

Performativeeeeee activism

I’m also guilty of this, let’s be real.
Liberals on Instagram I’m seeing online currently seem to have these priorities -

  1. Being “tired” of news and “protecing peace”
  2. Heavily liking reels where dudes encroach the spaces of simple girls and women that are literally working or existing in a scenic village (indiacore-village-fetishization)
  3. Liking reels about animal activism (mostly dogs and cats).
  4. BEEF POROTTAAA

Meanwhile the right has targeted trans lives, factory workers that aren’t getting minimum wage (whose lives are only going to be ravaged further by the war), cracked down on education (making learning at least 2 native indian languages mandatory). They’re systematically attacking on all fronts to further manipulate idiots into jingoism :/

There HAS to be something to resist this :/

Messed up big time today.

I was on twitter on my space named " Das Kapital Reading Session. Reading constant capital and variable capital.

Suddenly a bajrang dal member comes and starts the usual hindutva rhetoric oh this country is of my religion.

I debated a lot keeping in mind these absolute freaks dumbos have power so I didn't take the name of cow or advocated for it anywhere not once did I say that cow this that because I know what country I live in.

So what happens now is that I just say secularism in our constitution etc etc the debate basically goes that you can't force your values i tried to be respectful and didn't mention that I will do this and explicitly mentioned I don't support breaking this law but now I'm scared.

They're threatening me with beating me up parading me giving my location to people is there anybody I can contact I genuinely don't entertain such people but idk what got over me can someone help me.
