Shaheen Bagh is like pilgrimage site for pro democracy people. Groups coming in from all directions chanting slogans, having talks at main stage, thousands spread across the road, people showing their creativity in diverse ways, standing around campfire in the cold winter night of Delhi and most of us were women. For sometime, I felt like I was at the greatest place on earth.

What are we planning to do after this? Even if we succeed?
Should we continue trusting the current political system that allowed this to happen? Or should we get out and be part of creating a new culture of politics?

Passive participation in politics is proved not working, we need active participation. We need to do more than voting every once a while.

Who decides what is against the integrity of India? When there are #hatefactories running in plain sight working to divide people, why a 21year old activist is in jail for a farmer protest #toolkit?

(2/3) Likes of Shri Goswami get special treatment while ordinary Indians are made to suffer , including Imprisonment, which are many times illegal and unauthorised".
- Advocate Dushyant Dave

(1/3) "While thousands of Citizens remain in jails languishing for long periods while their matters filed before the Honble Supreme Court are not getting listed for weeks and months, it is, to say the least, deeply disturbing as to how and why every time Mr Goswami approaches the Supreme Court, his matter gets listed instantly.

I think we live in a weird mix Orwell's and Huxley's dystopias. Censored and distracted at same time.

This not only questions ministry's attempt to blindly promote Ayurveda, it also explains what scientific methods are and how modern medicines should work.
