A bookseller in Jadavpur, Kolkata alleges he was threatened with demolition by men wearing saffron tilaks for selling "anti-national" books.
His "crime"? Selling literature, history & books on Dr. Ambedkar's philosophy.
This is New Bengal, where mobs decide what you can read.
THE BRUTALITY OF PATNA POLICE? 😑💥💥
"I'm only 15 years old. I was allegedly cornered and beaten by 5–8 police officers."
If true, these allegations demand an independent investigation and accountability. No child should face excessive force.
Hasbara Alert!!! Israel is hiring in India. if you’re an indian sanghi zionist looking to help manufacture consent for a genocidal state...congratulations. they’re hiring. just don’t expect to be paid.

Even Sushmita Dev was struggling to stop herself from laughing out loud.
It seems that Arnab Goswami did not know where Saugata Roy’s loyalties lay. The Dum Dum MP hasn’t abandoned Mamata Banerjee yet.

The newly elected BJP govt in the West Bengal broke a statue commemorating the 1859 Indigo Rebellion in Bongaon.
They are erasing all traces of the anti-colonial struggle, only to surrender at the feet of the new master- the USA.
Witnessing the fall of Mamata, Pinarayi, and Stalin, easily three of the strongest anti-BJP voices in India, should make all of us very, very concerned. The impending doom of saffron fascism looms over all of us. Scary times ahead.
মমতা প্রতিশ্রুতি রেখেছেন,
বলেছিলেন বিজেপিকে ফ্রন্টে এনে লড়বেন।

জন্মলগ্ন থেকে ২০১৬ পর্যন্ত শূন্য ছিল,
RSS-র দুর্গার অনুপ্রেরণায় বিজেপি ক্ষমতায় এলো।
ছিল কাটমানি তোলাবাজির বিরুদ্ধে লড়াই,
এবার সাথে যোগ হলো ফ্যাসিস্টিক শক্তির বিরুদ্ধে লড়াই।
