What I witnessed on the streets of Delhi today was unprecedented. Historic. And I use these words with the full weight of responsibility. Something has shifted. You could feel it in the streets. This is the wind of change and it cannot be ignored. Aaj Modi ko neend nahin aayegi !

A little older, a lot more grateful for the people I love, the stories I’ve been trusted with and the privilege of doing work that still makes me care deeply. Here’s to life, to purpose and to all the stories yet to be told.

Important day for Kashmir’s democratic life. The weather is pleasant. Taking a stroll at Lal Chawk, trying to understand the pulse of the people of Kashmir.

Tried Palestine Cola today. Crazy how everyday products are becoming part of a bigger cultural shift. Also how pop culture is being reshaped by what’s happening in the world.

And if a Muslim offers Namaz in a corner of a train or on his own seat for 5 minutes, it becomes a national security threat. Is this what majority privilege looks like ?a Hindu First India ?

Pls Retweet- Samserganj, Murshidabad. I invite the Election Commission of India to come meet its victims and see, on the ground, what this so called “voter purification” exercise is doing to the poorest citizens of this country who also happen to be Muslims. I have covered wars, communal violence, and mass movements. I have never seen anything like this before.

Dhurandhar isn’t just troubling. It is a toxic cocktail of majoritarianism, anti-Muslim bigotry and misogyny, made even more dangerous by the film’s glorified violence and gore. How did the censor board even clear it ?

Rhea Ahir spent more than two hours with Rahul Gandhi but didn’t feel for a moment that he was a ‘Big Leader’. And they tell you he is a ‘Rajkumar’

On India Today I said it plainly: Dhurandhar is gore, misogyny, and manufactured anti-Muslim fear. Also Bollywood needs to stop exoticising Muslims. Leave them alone, they’re just trying to get through another day.

Has Dhurandhar really liberated India from “Urdu-wood”? On Kunal Kamra’s show, I argued that it’s actually the opposite. If you take out Urdu and “Muslim” parts from Dhurandhar, there’s nothing left. You become the thing you hate the most.

Two women. Two uniforms. Two faiths. One mission: Service to the nation. Col Sofiya Qureshi and Wg Cdr Vyomika Singh leading the Operation Sindoor briefing is more than strategy—it's a statement. India's strength lies in unity. #OperationSindoor #IndianArmedForces #UnityInDiversity
