It's Children's Day in India.
If you think I am going to rant, oh, you're so damn correct.
A day for our Children to celebrate. Those who are future of our country and world. They must be creative, innovative and curious, must not they? But guess what, our education system fails to deliver the goal of education. Education doesn't mean cramming up books and shit. No, it means using theoretical knowledge in practical world. It means using that knowledge in our innovative ideas.

I started a project on memoirs of a protest, where I turn photos from objects in a protest and turn them into artwork. This was a photograph of a leg of a student from JNU which was fractured in police suppression. You can break us, but not our spirits. #jnuprotest

Good people of Mastodon, I've been seeing a number of posts here that compare the Ayodhya judgment to a husband losing his wife to another man, treatment of rape victims etc. This is quite worrisome.
Women aren't property that one can win/lose claim over. Such comparisons reinforce the idea of ownership over women as passive objects. I have high hopes from this space and how we talk about women here.
So please do continue with the much-needed criticism, but please keep women out of it.
@madeline_@mastodon.social same! I tried keeping it in the starting of this year and found it behind my bookshelf this morning. Wht my life has become
I want to keep a diary/journal but then i write in it for 4 days then forget about it.

@freemo isn't it about some kind of virus outbreak?

See the turtle of enourmous girth,
On his back he holds the Earth,
His thought is slow, but always kind,
He holds us all within his mind.
Snapping turtle, post hibernation. May be the origin for the idea of the earth carried on a turtles back.
@Surasanji thank you:-)

Just names?
Or blots of ever-increasing size on modern-day India's conscience?
After all, how many more suicides of gifted young students will it take for us to sit up and take notice that caste-based/religious discrimination remain endemic problems here?
EVEN in our so-called 'premier' educational institutions!
Question these systems!
Challenge these bullies!
Make your dissent heard!
But most importantly... look in the mirror!

Five suicides in IIT Madras and the business is as usual there. I am sick and tired of this society.
Not really good at drawing but it's been around 2 months since I've been practicing.

One more institutional murder at IIT Madras. Fathima Lathif, an undergraduate student in humanities and social science department committed suicide facing religious and caste discrimination from IIT faculty Sudarshan Padmanabhan, as per her suicide note. IIT Madras is a Brahminical Agrahara which makes the lives of students from minority community perishable in all ways. It is sixth suicide on the campus within two years.
