Indians on Bsky, #Indiasky, please pay attention, read up & email the government to make your objections known about the Draft IT Rules, 2nd Amendment, 2026, which is going to seriously adversely affect the ability of Indians to engage in any political discourse online w/out state sanction.
Seriously, any Indians on this site, #Indiasky, please email your representative about the anti-trans bill now if you haven't already. The link above makes it very easy, it only takes a moment. There needs to be *some* pushback or things will only get worse.
Urgent for #Indiasky / Indians on here, please email your member of Parliament to urge them to reject the draconian [anti]Trans Bill 2026. You just need to fill in your state & constituency, & the page makes it very easy to use your email app/copy all the required details into an email.
Oh hey, managing editor of @article-14.com is here - @betwasharma.bsky.social #Indiasky
Indians on #Indiasky, please take a moment to sign this collective statement condemning the government's proposed bill to reverse the right of trans people to self-identify, narrows the definition of 'transgender', and increases the risk of criminalising advocating for trans people.
The Indian laws for protecting transgender people is up for a regressive amendment. If you are Indian, you can object by emailing the representative in the ministry, a website has been made to make this process easier with the email address and a template at this link: transrights.in

the protest at the ai summit was one of the most dumbest protests i've seen. no purpose, but the damage done was tremendous.

history is not erased in one stroke.
first the people are driven out, then their memories are rewritten. Kashmir stands as a reminder that changing names cannot hide the truth of what is lost. #india #kashmir #indian #indiasky
Kashmir’s altered names tell the story of a civilization deliberately erased.
Renaming removes their history.

people calling his ass out for spreading misinformation is "sanghi" lmao. indian leftsards safe haven is any space where they aren't called out for spreading their lies and propaganda. #india #indiasky
Why am I in the worst place in the worst timeline in the worst period of my life?
This CM of ours will cause a bigger riot than Godhra and hollow the whole State Economy.
And we have useless opposition! My vote is going to get wasted.
I know BJP will win.

indian children are always the most unfortunate ones under the republic of India.
from mother teresa to these vulture NGOs to abusive parents - nothing has gone well for indian children.

mira nair has been part of the epstein files. whats shocking is her mother, i. e praveen nair (also zohran's grandmother) runs a ngo (salaam baalak trust) in india which supports street children. i hope what im thinking never happened at all.

In case anyone on #Indiasky is in Trivandrum:
I always knew climate change was going to kill us. I didn't spend years doing my best to recycle, reuse, reduce consumption of single use items to die like this.
Blaming “poor civic sense” is a copout, this mess is by design. Our lives mean nothing to oligarchs.

My spoken Hindi is pretty good, but hearing Ravish Kumar over the years has enriched my vocabulary a lot. So it is great to know India's best journalist is trying to bridge gap between non-Hindi speakers and himself

The action loving little boy and the Shakespeare loving teenage girl in my soul has tremendous faith in Vishal Bhardwaj. The man gave us a proper Toxic Doomed Yuri with Tabu & one of the finest Ruskin Bond adaptations, so I think O'Romeo will be fine

Hmmmm interesting…. I think one of the best and underrated woman villain in bollywood whose reveal left a gut punch was Ammaji played by Deepti Naval in NH10.

We do not need things to be delivered within 10 mins. Exploiting poor and desperate people is wrong! We all know labour laws are shit in this country. One person's convenience is literally risking another person's life and health!

What are some good books or articles to help explain to people from elsewhere exactly what has been happening in India in the modi years (although general background on the rise of hindutva would be super useful too)?
