India is investing enormously in infrastructure intended to overcome distance. scroll.in/article/1096... Yet during political conflict, the same infrastructure can be used to recreate distance: between citizens and the capital, protesters and public institutions. Gaurav Mittal writes

Scroll's political editor Shoaib Daniyal was standing on the road in a South Delhi locality when he was detained by the Delhi Police. Here is a glimpse into the the conversation he had with the police officials. #JantarMantarProtest

Despite barricades, undeterred by heavy police presence, hundreds had gathered at Delhi Haat in INA. However, after half an hour, Delhi Police began to detain several young protestors. Kritika Pant and Vaishnavi Rathore report

Around 50 to 60 were detained at Shaniwar Wada, Pune, on Saturday as protestors gathered to demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Divya Aslesha reports

"We were dragged on the city streets. Multiple women have sustained bruises. This shows that the Modi government is completely scared," says a protestor detained in Pune. Divya Aslesha reports

We did a talk on book covers yesterday with a slideshow... while we have the folder open... Here is a bunch of vintage Indian pulp fiction art 🧵 (1/7) Urdu books by Ibne Safi (1956-1980), artist unknown

#Patna Senior Superintendent of Police Kartikeya K Sharma said that Sandeep Saurav had been remanded to judicial custody. Following his arrest, Saurav said that the movement would continue until Pradhan resigned. Read more: scroll.in/latest/10945... #youthprotest

#Breaking | #DharmendraPradhan said he submitted his resignation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi so that “anti-national forces” do not take advantage of the ongoing protests, and so that no student “gets embroiled in legal battles”. Read more: scroll.in/latest/10945...

Now that #DharmendraPradhan has resigned, the question is: will that douse the fire? scroll.in/article/1094... Perhaps the youth protestors, feeling victorious, will go home. But Modi’s profound disconnect with the youth, once exposed, cannot be covered up, writes Supriya Sharma.

#Delhi | "We will celebrate the day of resignation as the accountability day." Protesters celebrate the resignation of #DharmendraPradhan at #JantarMantar with slogans, smiles and placards. 📸Raghav Kakkar

In the video, which was widely shared, including by the Cockroach Janta Party, the police driver can be heard warning two young persons against returning to the protest site and threatening to frame them in a drug case. scroll.in/latest/10944...

French philosopher Simone Weil warned that force petrifies both those who suffer it and those who wield it. It dehumanises the wielder too, dulling judgment, eroding restraint and allowing lawful authority to slip into domination. scroll.in/article/1094... By Shubham Kumar

“Twelve years ago, Modi rode to power and pioneered in many ways, leveraging social media platforms to reach the masses. Today, Gen Z is flipping his Hindu majoritarian party’s dominance on social platforms, weaponising against it the very tools the Bharatiya Janata Party has long relied on.”

Govt doctors at Delhi's Safdarjung Hospital noted that a journalist's injuries were "consistent with pellets striking" his body. The records, seen by Ayush Tiwari , add fresh evidence against Delhi Police’s repeated denial that its forces used pellet guns on protesters. scroll.in/article/1094...

An open note to the reader who took offense to my use of “foul language”: my apologies, I was only trying to convey how I take offense to these foul times.
