Cost of being a Dalit in India. 💔
Mumbai Police deploying huge forces and detaining activists to stop protests seeking justice for Sahil Wakode is shameful.
India is world's largest democracy, but Dalits can't open their mouths for justice here.
Hunger Strike Day_20
20 long days of pain, sacrifice, and endless waiting at Azad Maidan. A mother's fight for justice for her son #Sahil will not back down until truth prevails.
We call upon every Ambedkarites, student, Parents to stand with us and raise their voice..
#JusticeForSahil #AzadMaidan

You deploy an entire Police force to crush a single Ambedkarite girl, yet show zero urgency when it comes to hunting down the casteists at IIT Bombay.
If the state put even half as much energy into dismantling caste terror as it does into suppressing marginalized voices, we’d be back in our classrooms studying

This is Chaityabhoomi a place where people get tremendous energy and inspiration
Yet when there was a peaceful candle march, Maha govt police detained the people including those who were heading to Chaityabhoomi, who had just come to visit Chaityabhoomi on weekend and those who were holding peaceful candle march
What govt is being run by CM Fadanavis? He talks about Babasaheb and tweets about Dhammachakra Pravartan day but detains Dalits demanding justice. #JusticeForSahilWakode

Congratulations, @MumbaiPolice ! You’re officially competing with Delhi Police in crushing peaceful gatherings.
People attending a simple, peaceful candle march are being brutally dragged away and detained by mumbai police.
Under BJP rule, it seems even peacefully gathering to raise your voice has become a big crime.

क्या दलितों को अपने बाबा साहब की चैत्यभूमि पर कैंडल मार्च की इजाज़त भी नहीं है @Dev_Fadnavis, @MumbaiPolice ? आपको शर्म नहीं आती? एक दलित बच्चे की सांस्थानिक हत्या कर दी गई और इंसाफ़ मांगने वाले दलितों के साथ आप ऐसी बर्बरता कर रहे हैं। क्या पेशवाई राज दोबारा लौट आया है?

Justice for Sahil Wakode
Earlier in Mumbai today @mumbaipressclub the All India Independent Scheduled Caste Association highlighted the brutal police action on October 18th targeting protestors including students at the IIT Bombay campus, the delayed investigation report and society’s deafening silence in the month since the tragic death by suicide of Sahil Wakode.

Unbelievable scenes from Mumbai, the 'pookie' police detaining Ambedkarites and anticaste allies from @AIISCA1957 candlelight vigil at Chaityabhumi
Semiotics of preventing Dalits from peacefully gathering at Chaityabhumi is massive. All this aggression for what? Shielding IIT?
Hope now atleast mainstream media stops it's shameful silence/complicity & covers this police aggression + also looks into the ongoing IIT inquiry team & it's composition background.

Shameful act of force at the peaceful protest at Chaityabhoomi by @MumbaiPolice
Deepali_Salve retweeted
AIISCA (@AIISCA1957) had called for a peaceful candlelight gathering at Chaityabhoomi yesterday. Yet, the Mumbai Police detained not only the protesters but also ordinary citizens who had come to pay their respects at this sacred site. Today, the police have hit a new low by detaining Ambedkarites gathered at the very site of Babasaheb Ambedkar to demand justice for Sahil. We unequivocally condemn this atrocious act of repression against Dalits.

India has no democracy for Dalits.
Why is Mumbai Police detaining students and activists gathered at Chaityabhoomi to demand justice in IIT BOMBAY student Sahil Wakode's institutional murder case?
Can't Dalits seek justice under BJP govt?

Justice for Sahil Wakode.
VIDEO | Mumbai: The Progressive Students Union (PSU) organised a candlelight march at Chaityabhoomi to demand justice in the case of the suicide of IIT Bombay student Sahil Wakode.
Protesters participating in the march were taken into custody. A heavy police force was deployed in the area as a precautionary measure.

In this video, you can see our Sathi Ashu S. Bauddh from the Ambedkarite movement engaged in a argument with the police regarding holding a candle march at Chaityabhoomi.
Regarding the tragic suicide of IIT Mumbai student Sahil Wakode, progressive movements, Ambedkarite friends, and leftist comrades had decided to organize a candle march at Chaityabhoomi, Dadar. However, even before this candle march could take place, Ambedkarite movement scholar Deepali Salve was detained from her residence and later detained other members at Chaityabhoomi. Police did not even listen to many people when they tried to explain that this was not a protest, but a peaceful candle march.
The police are taking them away, but Chaityabhoomi is our place of inspiration. It is our sacred ground. It belongs to our founding father, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. We were holding a candle march at that very place. A candle march is a completely peaceful process. The police argue that there was no permission.
However, a candle march does not cause any harm to society; rather, it elevates social values, promotes social unity, helps us overcome mutual social discrimination, and moves us further toward an egalitarian society.
The core of the Indian Constitution is inherently egalitarian, and what happened to Sahil Wakode is deeply unjust. This candle march was organized to give voice to that injustice.
We strongly condemn this government and administration.
Securing justice for Sahil Wakode is extremely crucial.
Jai Hind
