Starting a lone campaign to bring focus back to Manipur & will continue till @PMOIndia @narendramodi visits.
807 days since the Manipur crisis began.
When will you visit, dear PM?
The people are still waiting for answers, for healing, for solutions, for justice.
Time to refocus!
Waited so much to read this —-
“Tall and handsome with deep black eyes, he stood out from the others of his group who usually sat at a table opposite mine..,”
Admired the man so much that I wrote to him as a young student.. and he replied!!!
@SoniaGandhi @RahulGandhi

'We are nothing without this land. Our ancestors are buried here. Siang river is our mother.' In Arunachal Pradesh’s Upper Siang district, youth are resisting Siang dam project. They want dialogue, not crackdown. @dawnofsonder reports from Geku village

Kudos to the owner, editors and reporters at @arunachaltimes_ for conituing to report on the people's anger against the Upper Siang Dam and the state govt's attempt to muzzle voices by illegitimate use of police and armed paramilitary.
Video of protests in Itanagar today.
Wish similar legacy news orgs in Delhi had half the courage.

If you’ve questioned the state's oppression of indigenous resistance against the Upper Siang Mega Project or supported the Gen Z protests, you’ve likely been attacked by pro-Modi and pro-Pema right-wingers. small dick energy labeling everyone a Chinese agent. Read this report and see why they’re dancing to the state's tune: ₹10 crore has been funneled purely into pro-SUMP publicity.
“Villagers see the move differently. Once drilling begins on their ancestral land, they fear the dam is no longer just on paper. So they have blocked roads, stopped machinery and demanded that security forces leave…” Read, @ThePrintIndia theprint.in/feature/arunacha…

As protests in Delhi raise questions about the state of Indian democracy, a larger question emerges: what does democracy look like in the Northeast, where many communities have long grappled with unrest, uncertainty and political marginalisation?
Arunachal rarely protests.
So when Akashdeep to IG Park in Itanagar is full, you listen.
For outsiders their silence = peace.
When the quietest state in NE finally shouts, it’s a warning.
Media, do you have ground reporters there? @PTI_News @CNN @TOIIndiaNews @the_hindu @ndtv

Days after protests against proposed Siang project turned violent, there’s relative calm in Arunachal’s Pasighat, even as calls were issued for demonstrations in Itanagar.

Not only do hospitals overcharge, they also charge parking fees by the hour. Aren’t they suppose to provide parking for its visitors/patients? @MoHFW_INDIA timesofindia.indiatimes.com/…

facebook.com/share/v/1LeC53k… Does "Unity in Diversity" mean anything if India still sees its own Northeast as 'other'?
That's why we are committed to telling more stories from the Northeast.

“Very high quality unlike anything my bahu owns" @Spotify, really? And more of them!
Tearing down a bahu to sell a product is not premium. It’s regressive, lazy, and frankly, embarrassing for a brand in 2026. The sass-bahu bond has evolved! We are each others’ strength!
