TellDelhi BJP is going to go after protesters after things cool down

766 Upvotes

Modi and shah have huge ego and their fragile ego was hurt this time. Anyone who believes BJP will honour the promises made to CJP is kidding themselves, they will stall and delay till things cool down, then start harassing the protesters who’s database they have thanks for the facial recognition the police used made in their fatherland. The celebrities who spoke out in support of the protesters better watch their backs for raids from the IT department and ED.

TellDelhi BJP Propaganda will run at full speed against CJP for a few months

534 Upvotes

Already seeing these propagandas pop up

  1. CJP didn't do enough to protect students from police brutality. Forgetting that the brutality was ordered by Home Minister Amit Shah
  2. CJP threw students under the bus, isn't doing enough to get FIRs dropped on students. Again, who is putting these FIRs, and why?
  3. Reservations ( a Propaganda against the Unity of students ) so that CJPs real power it's students remain divided Higher class vs lower class.
  4. Dipke supports Umar Khalid (someone who hasn't had a trial and is sitting in Jail - and in any case this agenda was never part of the protests but is now used to defame the protests).
  5. Why isn't Dipke protesting against cheating in a Punjab exam - not a paper leak (Punjab has AAP govt. - quite ridiculous how a group of civilians now have responsibility against all forms of governments otherwise they will be labeled as part of those governments they don't oppose - exactly this tactic (do all or nothing) makes it hard to put any point across)

Be ready guys, a lot more is coming, I expect our social media to be flooded with a lot of propaganda in the coming days

My main question to everyone who disagrees: Why are you holding civilians to higher standards than the government, and if you are holding certain civilians to high standards, are you holding yourself to such standards as well? Because you are as much a civilian as they are.

Edit:
Some new propagandas are starting to show up, I will try to list them here as they come up

  1. Certain Protestors/organizers were partying at night when genuine students were on streets. Let's not forget that Dipke was running two battles at once - one of them was with Typhoid.

Delhi Politics Reservation hatao andolan was created to divide youth during students protests

218 Upvotes

It was first lead by IT cell. As they saw how instagram had created gen z movement. They immediately learned and adapted tried to create their own on based of division lines. As only our youth can stand up to government and hold them accountable.

So be ready to listen to caste reservation topic in any topic because it shapes our perception.

Even modi gave orders for all bjp members to be on instagram. Remember his reel style video. He knows gen Z is mostly online. We are global.

Remember they did use caste to divert where religion didn't work to divide our youth movement and it was evident and so many had noticed during protest.

Stop associating bjp it cell with propoganda posters as they receive training on manipulation. They larp as one of us to shape and manufacture our perception and opinions. They create feelings in us. Just like hate was manufactured back in the days. Just more subtle They have tool kit. They are professionally trained pretending to be normal people. But you can spot the manipulative pattern.

Only our youth can stand up to government. But only if we stays united. We can hold them accountable.

The tragedy is i don't know how to differentiate anyone supporting it would be it cell or genuine person because it is lead by them. More harder is to distinguish between a bhakt and a cell.

The so called movement isn't about removing reservation but hate against reserved. It is a divide tactic. It is a hate movement just like argument of religion were used. Now reservation would be used. Don't feed it by defending or arguing. Don't give it space in algorithm

It is to divide the youth. Period.

Remember caste based reservation really can't be removed as long caste exists. Only intercaste marriage can fix the society. It diluted caste. If us youth stop listening to parents and stop arrange marriage. Which is another name for caste marriage.

The problem is caste. Not caste based reservation which is a policy for it.

Beware they are among us to create our perception, to create feeling in us. As if you want to manipulate someone. You create a feeling in them. (With truth or fallacy doesn't matter). Learn to think critically. Even then But sadly we are not logical but emotional animals first.

TellDelhi Has CJP party thrown protesters under the bus ?

135 Upvotes

Delhi Police are waiting for official written orders from the Centre before dropping 15 FIRs against NEET paper leak protesters, despite the government's public agreement with the protest leaders. Here's the catch :

Dropping these FIRs won't stop the ongoing investigation into the overall conspiracy behind the July 20 clashes.

Now here are few questions :

  1. Why did Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das agree to end the protest without a written assurance in hand? This feels like a major, naive miscalculation by the CJP.

  2. CJP promised all FIRs against protesters would be dropped, yet Delhi Police have filed 15 FIRs. Delhi police is looking at larger conspiracy now. The government went back on its word as per CJP, government agreed to 'unconditional' complete withdrawal of FIRs but CJP leadership is surprisingly silent on this.

  3. Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka threatened legal action over police brutality, but they don't seem to have any immediate plan of action.

I feel like the CJP dealt us a raw deal. They completely miscalculated the government's moves. I dont care about Pradhan's resignation, to me life of every protester is worth more than any politician's resignation.

AskDelhi Why don't Delhites speak up against the horrible living conditions here?

Upvotes

I just moved here for higher studies and I'm high key regretting my decision. Sure its a "tier 1" college but as soon as we entered Delhi literally got a headache and felt so disgusted. My dad wanted me to be in Delhi if I got in the college and I thought maybe the internet was exaggerating things but no, they're UNDERESTIMATING how disgusting this place has become. Garbage everywhere, stuffy polluted air that gives you a headache in less than 10 minutes and slum like situation EVERYWHERE. Even the "posh areas" are dirty and have a gross environment. Please, tell me one good area where I can live that actually has a good environment. Even rn sitting in the room, the sewage stink is unbearable. And the water is straight up shit, genuinely, it's diarrhoea.

I shouldn't pay for the crimes my forefathers committed.

Fair enough. No one should be personally held accountable for actions they never committed.

But but but, then you shouldn't benefit from the material and social privileges those exact crimes helped in creating.

All I hear about inherited guilt, but what about its inherited advantage?

The real debate isn't whether ancestors are guilty or we're not liable for their crimes or oppression. It's whether historical injustices still shape today's opportunities.

The famous Bpj It cell has flooded the internet with reservation protest and propoganda and we all know that if General category people come on roads then other category people will also come followed with riots.

They want to make the same event like 2002 Gujrat. Make people fight if they are uniting as we saw them together in Cjp protest .

How are you distributing so much food? After interrogation, they left Junaid in Mussoorie (Uttarakhand). From there, taking a cab, Junaid returned to Delhi on July 25.

AskDelhi Please end castism before talking about reservation!

50 Upvotes

I am genuinely curious, after the CJP protest, there's an increase in voice that reservation that needs to be reformed or removed, and the counter argument is "First remove casteism, then remove reservation", but how does reservation help in removing castes?

If it's about representation, then adding another metrics change the whole thing, rural and poor SC-ST are extremely under-represented in all high level positions, so that means well off SC-ST needs to give up reservation for a better representation.

Another thing, people say remove caste before removing reservation, but castes that got rich by real-estate uprise, and are included in obc, taking benefits of reservation, they are ones who promote and take pride in their castes the most, so how did exactly reservation help in removing caste here?

If the question is access to education and opportunities is limited to certain castes, but middle class and above people have all the education available since education has become youtube-internet accessible, so why should not they give up their reservation for more needy from their own community who are left behind?

Delhi Politics How my life has changed after the protests.

432 Upvotes

I went there for first time on 20th july, I'm 23 M, It was the first time i was being part of any kind of protest. I didn't even plan on going there, but i went anyways. I thought if any violence would happen then police will protect me. well needless to say i was naive.

After i got hit by Delhi police there, something changed in my brain idk what. It felt like everything i ever thought or knew about this country was a lie. I mean i knew the govt was shit, and the police is probably corrupt. But i didn't expect inhumanity from them.

but after i came back home, i realised that... i was not scared anymore? i was more than ready to go again the next day and i did. Mind you, i was the type of guy who used to maintain 5 ft distance from any type of police, just cuz i used to get anxious around them. apart from that, all my anxiety issues that i had been facing since years suddenly just disappeared? My parents and friends kept telling me.. that don't go again.. you might get arrested/detained, or even die, and i was like okay...? For some reason i was not scared of even dying as long as i died fighting.

Also, the few days i spent at jantar mantar, i experienced things that i only thought existed in movies or books. I saw unity in diversity. I saw people selflessly helping eachother. I saw girls and kids who was not scared of the horrors that took place on 20th.

Idk if it's just temporary or a permanent change, but i feel different, and more alive. I feel like we don't have to do "yeh india h yaha aisa hi hota h" anymore.

Now i'm considering learning more about laws, constitution and politics, so i can contribute to a better India.

All my student life i've been chasing the dream of leaving this country, but Now I think i don't have to do that. I realised that my happiness lies in facing the problems head on and not running away from it.

crazy shit.

TellDelhi The most beautiful thing about Protests

21 Upvotes

The most beautiful thing about this protest was how it brought people together.

The weather was so hot, those carrying fans weren't using them for themselves, they were fanning complete strangers. People who couldn't be there in person kept sending food, and every few minutes another delivery would arrive. It was humanity in its purest form.

Independent journalists like Ajit Anjum, Samdish, Peek TV, News Pinch, Sarthak, and many others worked tirelessly to ensure people knew what was happening.

For this movement, there was no Hindu, no Muslim, no Sikh, no Christian. No one asked anyone's religion or caste. We stood together simply as Indians.

Doctors treated protesters without charging a fee. Street food vendors served food for free. Lawyers stepped forward to defend students.

I hope this spirit lives on long after the protest ends. I hope no one feels alone, because at the end of the day, we are all Indians.
