A Farewell to My Comrades...Maybe?

Comrades! Lal Salaam

It has been an incredible 24 hours for me because in that time, I have seen Comradeship and the Uniting of the Common people of India that is the edifice of the country and the ethos of Indianness. Communists, Socialists, Social Democrats, Liberal supporters from INC and other parties have all come together to show their dissent against Twitter’s suspension of my handle. Strangely, I even counted one Sanghi!

To bring you up-to-date, a sanghi handle parodying as Arvind Kejriwal reported me for an “offensive” tweet (https://twitter.com/arvindkrajiwal/status/858964009353170946) , which Twitter has acted against stating that it is against policy. I have appealed the suspension now, twice, since there has been no response to the initial request. I have been reported previously for quoting a Sanghi tweet that showed a sensitive image and Twitter apparently found my quoted tweet more vile than the image of a man with his throat cut.

What Twitter stands for and its dubious standards cannot be conclusively said for now. What I can say is that those who work at Twitter are also regular humans like you and I and might be given to their own political biases and pressures of mass reporting. This comes with the Territory; had there been no SM and we were putting our views out there in the real world, we would face Hindutva fascism one way or another.

Without launching into sermons, I just want to say this….

•          I have no regrets for what I have said or done in the past and should I return, I don’t intend to change anything.

•      I have no respect for Sanghis at all and will show them no mercy. In the past 4 years, I have been doxed twice at work by scum like Pradhan, Rita G, Ritu and the entire Radicalised, Army Housewives group (https://twitter.com/RitaG74/status/719738588242378753) . I face constant death threats. My female family members have faced rape threats, daily! Sanghis do this to incite fear in you and make you shut up – that and many of them are naturally low intelligence, lumpen rapists. They are radicalized religious nuts, no different from the Muslim Brotherhood, Klu Klux Klan, etc. This we must all remember and understand.

•         Whether I return or not is immaterial. My aim and objective of being on Twitter is not fame or followers. Since 2013 when I joined, I have considered Twitter a broadcast platform to warn people about the dangers of Hindutva and after 2014 to attempt to ensure people don’t make the same mistake again. If I do not return then it is upto every Non-Hindutva voice here to pick up my gun and continue the fight. This is not about me or any individual, it is about winning your country and constitution back!

•       It is poignant that on May Day, everyone of you the working class people came together in support of me with a hashtag #StandWithDasBolshevik. I never imagined that India would ever come out in such numbers for a Communist – not because of ideological bias but because sometimes you must stand for what is right. I only hope that our party-based political opposition had the same vision, the same vision and drive that gave this country independence from Imperialist Britain.

•       Finally, a message to the Sanghis… Celebrate this victory well for now. You know your own lot and how the same stick you used against me can and will be used against you. Should I come back, only hiding behind a cow can save you, if I do not come back, then where I have fallen a Hundred Others will take my place! Not because they have undying love for a Comrade but for the fact that a Comrade showed them… How to deal with Fascists and Who deals with Fascists best – An avowed, unapologetic, Communist!

Comrades from every party, Continue the struggle to Liberate India from Hindutva.

Lal Salaam, Hul Johar, Jai Bhim…. Comrades! Inquilaab Zindabad!
