I want to thank everyone for engaging with and amplifying this post here and on Instagram (where it went above 1M views) about my junior, Dr Randall Sequeira, a tribal medicine doctor who was jailed for serving adivasi communities in forsaken hills of Odisha and battling corporates looking to destroy the environment.
instagram.com/p/DeuOATzgQIq/…
As a result of our efforts, Dr. Randall was able to speak to his mother over phone from the jail.
I got to know that, the first thing this doctor of the hills, told his mother was "Sorry".
This is mind numbing.
He is apologizing for doing what was right and getting punished for it.
He is apologizing for standing up to destructive powers and apologizing for it.
He is apologizing for making preventative care the norm instead of therapeutic damage control.
What has this country become in the last decade or so?
Doctors have to apologise for serving the underserved.
Public safety advocates have to apologise for trying to save the environment.
Healthcare activists have to apologise for standing up for primary care.
Youth has to apologise for demanding impartiality and quality of life.
On my post, there was a sudden increase in quotes (concentrated on 23 October 2026, around 18:28–19:22 IST), a tightly clustered set of posts that shared a highly uniform style, argument structure, and framing and consisted of accounts that were predominantly:
- Indian, with heavy nationalist/Hindu cultural markers.
- Blue-verified in many cases, with follower counts typically in the low tens of thousands.
- Bios frequently feature: “Proud Indian,” “Nationalist,” “Sanatani,” “Jai Jai Shri Ram” / “जय श्री राम,” Indian flag emojis, “राष्ट्रहित सर्वोपरि,” “कट्टर राष्ट्रवादी,” “Sanatan Dharma,” “Radhey Radhey,” or similar. Examples: @Shrish_1987, @Shankarsingh992, @imRohit_IND, @ShagunX_, @PJha_666.
- Not primarily medical, environmental, or activist accounts, but general political/social media commentators or supporters aligned with pro-government/nationalist narratives.
These accounts are largely supportive of mining corporates Adani and Vedanta and pro-Govt. None of them provided any clear rebuttals.
Nationalism means being proud of the country and not being proud of becoming lapdogs of the government.
In a better world, a doctor wouldn't be jailed for standing up for rights of the underserved and treating them with compassion and empathy.
Idiots claiming Dr. Randall was converting tribals into Christians are thinking and responding from their pelvises, not brains. Religion is the last refuge of scoundrels. And India is full of them. It's a fcking shame.
Medicine is also about environmental health and social justice. It's not just diagnosis and treatment.
The government must release the good doctor and stop criminalizing healthcare activism because it doesn't feed and bulk their greedy interests.
My dear friends, please, I hope to demand your absolute attention to this matter:
In 2018, my junior from St. John’s Medical College, Bengaluru, Dr. Randall Sequeira (middle in the pic), trekked up a steep, bauxite-rich plateau in Odisha to hold a monsoon health camp in the
How shameless can you get @Akshita_N . Your former Tihar return Journalist ran an entire show targetting me and Newsclick. Your hindi and English news channels targetted us for more than a month. You did the same with Riya चक्रवर्ती. The entire battery of Godi media Journos made and cast aspersions on me and Newsclick. But zero proof of either China agenda shows or tampering with the Indian Map. All if which was a part of the bjp driven propaganda . Allegedly बोलने गुनाह पर पर्दा डल जाता है? इतनी बेशर्मी आती कहाँ से है? किसी ने कहा Newsclick should sue this Govt ? You destroyed a platform based on lies . You froze their accounts . 100 plus people dependent for their livelihood on Newsclick had no jobs . Maximum still don't. ये बकवास आप कैसे बोल सकते हो? Journalist या BJP IT cell की कर्मचारी.

VMC gets compensation for the gifted plot’s valuation. Pathan pays just 55% of the valuation for the remaining land.

Scenes of detentions during an anti-SIR march near the Election Commission of India headquarters in Delhi. Protesters are seen being taken into police buses near Bangla Sahib and Ashoka Road, with some resisting detention.
Demonstrators question the police action and raise concerns over alleged voter-roll deletions under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), particularly among minority communities. They also criticise the treatment of students and women protesters.

If Modi Ji will remain PM of India for next 20 years, then also he will keep blaming Congress for all the problems in the country. He can’t accept truth that he’s not able to do anything in last 12 years.
Is He Mentally fit to be PM, and does he even understand what’s happening with Jobs, layoffs, Education, Taxes, FII outflows, AI, and debt, when his clock seems stuck in 2013 and he’s still behaving like a PM candidate despite being in the Opposition?
@ndtv Thank you Adani , because of you Godi Media Anchors are sitting and talking Nonsense in NDTV😁
Everything has a cheap Fake copy.
Feel sorry for NDTV
Former CEC Dr. S.Y. Quraishi told Dhruv Rathee a story about Dr. Manmohan Singh that every Indian should hear.
Quraishi's EC took action against 4 Congress ministers, including the sitting Law Minister. Some Congress leaders started bad-mouthing the EC after that.
Quraishi sent a message to the PM through his media advisor Harish Khare: stop this.
The very next day:
> Manmohan Singh called him in a panic. "Quraishi sahab, I want to meet you immediately"
> The moment they sat down, he said that if Quraishi thought he was encouraging this loose talk, he would step down
> Quraishi said he was shaken, and it took him 25 minutes to calm the PM down
A sitting Prime Minister ready to quit because someone might think he had disrespected the Election Commission.
Think about it for a second.
> Then: the EC acted against the ruling party's own Law Minister, and the PM stood by the EC
> Now: the CEC is picked by a panel the PM controls, and the CJI was removed from it
> Then: the PM worried about insulting the EC
> Now: the EC looks like it's worried about upsetting the PM
Manmohan Singh treated institutions as sacred. Modi treats them like extensions of the BJP office.
Gyanesh Kumar should watch this clip and ask himself which side of history he wants to be on.

This anchor @Akshita_N has no manners to allow a senior anchor @PreetiChoudhry
to finish her sentences. It is just a glimpse of how she behaves with panellists during debates.
Don’t they teach civility anymore?
Also @sardesairajdeep who at @IndiaToday approved to run fake news against @newsclickin ?

Koi Nahi Aaya? @narendramodi
After the ITBP revelations, the MEA ADMISSION finally arrives: Chinese forces causing DISTURBANCES and DIVERGING from designated patrolling points from time to time. 😖
This is exactly why citizens no longer trust this government on anything.
I was constrained to remind my fellow anchors today of how a small news website @newsclickin was falsely targeted as ‘foreign funded’ Chinese operation and its editor Prabir Purkayasta wrongly jailed for several months. News channels fell for the falsehood and some actively pushed it. Sorry for the noisy debate but happens once in a while when one is really angry. 🙏 #DemocraticNewsroom
"Show me one piece of evidence. If you can prove foreign funding, I will give up the argument."
@sardesairajdeep challenges the panel to produce concrete proof that the protests under discussion received money from abroad. The debate turns on a fundamental question: should
"FIRs are not convictions. Allegations are not proof."
@sardesairajdeep pushes back against the repeated use of foreign-funding allegations in political debates, arguing that claims must ultimately stand up in a court of law. Citing the cases of Praveen Purkayastha and Sonam Wangchuk, he questions the ease with which individuals are branded anti-national or foreign-funded before the facts are judicially established.

@sardesairajdeep challenges the panel to produce concrete proof that the protests under discussion received money from abroad. The debate turns on a fundamental question: should allegations of foreign funding be treated as fact before the evidence is established? In a democracy, suspicion and proof cannot be interchangeable.
