You've read about brutal detentions in Delhi. Now read the story of what happens after someone is detained, of the citizen-led networks working around the clock to rescue people. Our story on Delhi protests, detentions, and the web of care that makes resistance possible:
On Oct 11, @laavanyatamang's friend was detained by Delhi Police during SIR protests.
“They can grab your phone, hit you, drop you anywhere...There is no accountability unless you literally have a large number of people saying we’re watching you.”

Fantastic reporting by @behanbox on the detention centres dotting Delhi, what happens to protestors there, and how help always arrives in the form of organisations and groups working round the clock to rescue detainees. Please reshare and amplify!

What women safety and nari shakti do they keep talking about when they can’t follow simple laws? Women cannot be detained or arrested past 6 pm but plenty reports yesterday and today of women being shoved inside buses well after sunset. Fresh round just now (6:20 pm) from CP.

Every week, Suchitra (@suchitrav) answers questions that all of you send in. This week, a big shoutout to BehanBox @BehanBox) for doing the kind of journalism that consistently pushes the envelope.
To better understand the media landscape, The Polis Project is releasing a report that maps what we call "insurgent media" in India - independent journalists, creators, satirists, hyperlocal networks, and organizations that have challenged the systematic capture of the news and information ecosystem over the past decade. It traces how mainstream media underwent corporate consolidation and documents the alternative infrastructures that have emerged to resist that capture.
'The Underground Railroad of Information: A Report on Democracy's Digital Defense' releasing on Tuesday.

Pls don't miss this brilliant piece about an amazing farmer Saroja Kumar, who lives near Karur. I met her twice earlier this year & learnt so much from her! She is an outstanding farmer, speaker, thinker & activist. Great profile by @arch_types for @BehanBox
CC: @bhanupriya_rao
In drought-prone Karur, Saroja Kumar has built a food forest that cools the air, restores the soil, and resists monoculture. This is farming as resistance, writes @arch_types

What does it mean when forest rights laws exist, but are poorly implemented? From Uttarakhand to Karnataka, indigenous communities are being violently evicted from lands they’ve lived on for generations. @shreyaraman18 connects the dots #thread: behanbox.com/2025/06/23/how-…
