You feel how special Glasgow Women's Library is every time you step into it. I love how it is owned and cherished by women living on the doorstep and further afield. My mother born in the East End. I brought the poet Saima Afreen visiting from India and she felt it too. @Sfreen
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 bravo @womenslibrary Brilliantly thoughtful, caring and inclusive work by the team past and present. Here’s to the next 30 years.

Before you shoot someone
remember their mother’s eyes
will follow you wherever you go
until she drowns you in her tears.

@FabindiaNews should hv consulted some Urdu knowing person.“Riwaaz” in not Urdu/Hindustani word. Correct word for Diwali is “Jashn-e-Charaghan”. BTW Urdu is very much Indian language and it has the treasure of all our cultural heritage and sanatan traditions.

अखिलेश यादव नजरबंद हैं, प्रियंका गांधी और दीपेन्द्र हुड्डा पुलिस हिरासत में हैं, एक राज्य के मुख्यमंत्री का हेलीकॉप्टर नहीं उतरने दिया जा रहा और राहुल गांधी को आने की अनुमति नहीं है।
पर मनीष गुप्ता हों या किसान, उनकी हत्या का एक भी आरोपी पकड़ा नहीं गया है।
यही रामराज्य है।

जस्टिस चंद्रचूड़ ने कहा कि सरकार का झूठ उजागर करें। उन्हें और माननीय अदालत को यह देखना चाहिए कि झूठ उजागर करने वालों को झूठे मामलों में फँसाया जाता है। झूठ के उजागर को जनता तक पहुँचाना आसान नहीं है। अब क्या जनता अपना काम छोड़ कर चौराहे और चौपाल पर प्राइम टाइम का प्रसारण करेगी ?

Please, please 'interfere' to stop kar sevaks, mob lynchers, beef vigilantes, etc... That kind of interference is expected. The problem is you are not interfering in the right way.

कहीं गोलियाँ चल रही है, कहीं हिंसा हो रही है, कहीं पत्रकार पीटा जा रहा है, कहीं महिला की साड़ी खींच कर उसका अपमान किया जा रहा है, तो कहीं नामांकन नहीं करने दिया जा रहा है।
UP में चल रही प्रशासनिक गुंडागर्दी पर चुप रहने वाले लोकतंत्र के दोषी हैं।
