For nine years she grieved, fought for justice for daughter #GauriLankesh, battled cancer, had beautiful talented @kavithalankesh soul sister mine and film-maker by her side, thru thick and thin. Darling #Esha too. And now she has left, pacefully, last night this morning in her sleep. Rest in Power (RIP) n Peace #Indiramma #JusticeForGauri will be done. That we promise.

Which newspaper is this? I cannot find the link on Google through search or via AI.
This is very moving and what a single man with a mission can achieve. Few have done more in modern India for a cause that has been rendered marginal by big media, courts and parliament due to existing caste bias. @BezwadaWilson's life, to use the Gandhi misquote, is a message.

There’s an open letter for signatures protesting the pseudoscientific bs organized by IIT Mandi and asking for replacing the director who has engaged in astrology and other pseudoscience representing the institution multiple times. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
There was a time the IITs were famous for scientific engineering and high-level research. How low they have fallen today. IIT Mandi, IIT Kanpur, and University of Virginia just concluded a special session on reincarnation and astrology. Absolute shame!!! iksmha.iitmandi.ac.in/mbcc/2…

The @nytimes ought to be held accountable and charged with defamation for the role they played in this. Flat out lies and reckless reporting - but then again one has seen what they've done in the case of Palestine.....

The reason why they went after Prabir Purkayastha & Newsclick is in his 2021 Caravan interview. They can't tolerate a media outlet which reports on popular movements, like of farmers and workers, which is what Newsclick did. caravanmagazine.in/media/new…

Joe Sacco spent years reporting on a communal riot in Uttar Pradesh for his new work of graphic reportage. But his Indian publisher abruptly dropped the book before it could be sold there. We have published an excerpt.

Never forget the role that the filthy rag @nytimes played in this.
Newsclick was shut down. Journalists lost their jobs and were hounded. As always, the Godi media declared they were ‘anti-national’, ‘China funded’ etc. Will the state be held accountable for all the trauma, financial losses and disrepute this organisation and their (1/2)

🪔 Bharathiraja dies at 84 - A director who stood with Eelam Tamils Bharathiraja, the Tamil Nadu filmmaker known as Iyakkunar Imayam, died at his home in Chennai on 10 June 2026. Bharathiraja sustained a record of public solidarity with Eelam Tamils that stretched from the ceasefire years to the final period of his life. It expressed itself as physical presence, political speech, open letters and legal demands, and it ran across more than two decades without interruption. 📸 April 2013, Bharathiraja in London calling for an independence referendum on Tamil Eelam.
