Conversation with Meher Manda and Mayukh Goswami, creators of the web comic “Jamun Ka Ped”

hose who fear students can only peddle lies and feed on ignorance. Those who fear the truth can only use force to crush it. Those who fear individual thought will ride the coattails of the media to keep you misinformed. It’s now or never, India. #CAA_NRC must go!

From the women of #ShaheenBaghProtests to the workers on strike, from the queer community to the lone child, we are all bearing witness to who you’re becoming, India

Perhaps, a reminder is needed for those dismissing the anti-CAA protests as gimmicks. India’s most vulnerable have taken to the streets to protect it’s holiest book. The Constitution of India. What are the rest of you protecting?
No republic has ever benefited from blind sycophancy. The government that hunts others, will one day hunt you too. On one side are India’s most disenfranchised fighting the #CAA, on the other, two men with murder on their hands. Whose side are you on? #IndiaAgainstCAA

For the first time in 15 yrs @queer_azaadi was denied permission by the Mumbai Police to hold pride march. The fear was that anti-CAA slogans would be raised at the march. Like queerness isn’t inherently political, like #CAA_NRC won’t directly affect underprivileged queer folk.

#SharjeelImam#KrisChudawala#AkhilGogoi, and a Muslim widow in Karnataka are still in prison, whereas men who’ve said worse are still around. For whom is justice preserved? For whom is freedom allowed? India’s law is not equal for its people.
