Watched #KashmirFiles . Couldn't watch till the end. Had to leave as I started panicking. Not because of what was shown but because of the knowledge that it was true and the world had turned a blind eye to it.Sometimes people need to be shocked out of their stupor. Film does that.

@DeepikaBhardwaj My domestic help, left her alcoholic hubby to come to Pune, educated both sons, one is a bus driver now. She bought a small plot of land in her village to make a house! Countless stories of truly empowered women around us. They don't cry victim, just stand up for themselves.

India lacks infrastructure, has so much poverty and yet was able to reach the moon. But UK is a developed country! What stops them from doing it? Heartburn much?

Exemplary self-restraint shown by the security standing behind! The mask was very helpful though.

Whoever’s name appeared there was expected to leave within a few days. If they didn’t they were killed. A vivid image that I recall is that of our neighbours’ house that they had abandoned in such a hurry that their clothes were still hanging on the line to dry.

This is the atmosphere in which my brother wrote his 12th boards. This was also the time when the KP exodus took place. Hit lists consisting of names of Pandits were made in the localities. These lists were stuck on walls or on the gate of a KP’s home.

@saliltripathi Indian Army commanders don't bother about pesky actors and writers who'd be willing to even sell their country. It's the public that is outraged.

Inconvenient and damning truths kept hidden by the ecosystem nurtured by Cong for decades. Skeletons tumble out one by one. Its difficult to fathom the extent of damage done by Nehru. Yet not one Durbari historian ever brought out these facts to light.

The sheer horror of the terror that was unleashed on the KPs sends shivers down the spine even today. I was lucky that I could escape to the security of the transit camp and the cantonment. I saw the strength of my class dwindling.

One day there was a mob of people who came into our street and there was a huge ruckus. Our Muslim neighbour (an old woman who was fondly called Khajji), sent her servant to fetch us and kept me and my brother at her place that day. She said that no harm would come to us.

@jainaayush7 @AhmedM85 @bharatbisht @hasanminhaj Talking just about failures of the govt without giving credit for successes is half truth. Ujwala yojna, Jan Dhan yojna, electrification of villages, infra projects have touched the lives of All Indians irrespective of religion, cast etc. Forgot Ayushman health care scheme.

There were friends and teachers who disappeared suddenly never to be seen or heard again. Outside Kashmir, KPs had settled in refugee camps. Once when I was travelling to Akhnoor to visit my uncle, we passed by those camps. It was heart-rending to see the squalor.

Many Army families who lived in Raj Bagh, Ramunshi Bagh, Gogji bagh, shifted to the transit camp and it became our home for the next 1 year. Our school was barely 400 meters away from the transit camp.

People who casually bash IITians have no idea what it takes to get there. Apart from being good at the stuff, it's the mental strength, grit, perseverance, determination, ability to sacrifice, study long hours and the never say die attitude that IITians are made of.

What nonsense is being peddled on Twitter? My Mom and several relatives live in Punjab. Spoke to her just today. The only thing she was worried about was how AI is taking over everything! Is there no penalty for spreading fake news?

Imagine each day you awake and have to check whether your friends and family are still alive or have they gone missing without trace. This is the reality of today’s Punjab where freedom of speech, thought and expression is being suppressed through mass arrests and disappearances.

Not every person who works a lot does it because they are passionate about their work. Many try to fill the void in their heart and the vacuum in their life with "work".

@a3fbb27d197a4d3 @BDUTT I wish I had taken a video or photos. I was in an auto and in a hurry to reach home. It was quite moving to see frail, old people taking to the streets to make their voices heard.

@ARanganathan72 The map is quite telling.... Ladakh occupied more space than Jammu and Kashmir put together and received the least attention. No wonder Ladakhis are elated at the bifurcation.

@aalokelab I have seen that woke kids who involve themselves in such activism are usually totally apathetic towards the plight of poor labourer's kids who get attacked by stray dogs the most.

But our school bus used to be flanked by one vehicle full of armed guards in front and one at the back. We went through several layers of security check every day. Our schoolbags and tiffin boxes used to be checked daily.
