In 1984 I saw Delhi’s skies black with smoke following Indira Gandhi’s assassination and the burning of tyre shops at Jhandewalan and the beginning of the pogrom against Sikhs. Never thought I’d see my cities skies turn black again. Today they did.

Criticism of the government is not criticism of the country. Criticism of the country is not sedition. As a citizen I have the right to criticise the caste system, treatment of women or anything that riles me. Maybe it's time to file a PIL asking courts to define sedition.

With the death of #RKPachauri , the serious case of sexual harassment filed against him lapses. The wheels of justice grinding so slowly have simply not kept up with human mortality.

Very important question. What is Siddique Kappan's alleged crime? Going to Hathras to report the gang-rape and murder of a Dalit girl is not a crime.

No bail for #siddiquekappan I still don’t understand the crime he has committed? Regime stooges pretending to be adversarial to Modi have assets unfrozen quietly by the ED

This whole #AzizAnsari date-night-from-hell has some interesting lessons. 1. As women we clearly need to learn how to say 'no' strongly and forcefully. We need to teach ourselves and our daughters this. Too many of us don't say no because we've been brought up to be 'nice'.

Even IF students were burning buses -- and they have denied this, nor is their any proof so far -- what justifies police entering a university, lobbing teargas, lathi-charging students, ransacking the library and then frog-marching students out with their hands in the air?

82% cases of sexual violence are committed by husbands (13.7% by former husbands) but our judges still talk of 'sanctity of marriage'.

Only just catching up to a long thread of #MeToo stories. As an older woman journalist it is depressing to hear a replay of the predatory male behavior on display so many decades ago. What’s changed is a new generation of women unafraid to call it out. 👏🏽👏🏽💪🏽
