 Your 1 Rupee = Our 1 Step Forward: A Humble Plea from OBMA Your 1 Rupee = Our 1 Step Forward: A Humble Plea from OBMA Posted on 5th April, 2025 (GMT 06:04 hrs) This is not too much to ask from you, dearest followers of OBMA. It’s been over four years of this shared journey. Across multiple platforms, we’ve engaged in conversations about politics, economics, ecology, and a whole spectrum of interconnected issues—primarily in English, but also in Bangla, Hindi, and Gujarati. Often, the workload of managing so many fronts with limited support has left us drained. Yet, we have kept going—crafting posters, videos, reels, collages, podcasts, powerpoints—relentlessly striving to mobilize people’s power. We have never accepted a single paisa from those who supported us. Not because we weren’t offered help, but because we chose to walk this path without letting the money-signifier dilute our intent. A few loyal ones have stood by us, and we are grateful beyond words. Yes, we’ve been a...

 From Silence to Storm: DHFL Victims’ Fight Beyond the Saffronized Judiciary From Silence to Storm: DHFL Victims’ Fight Beyond the Saffronized Judiciary Posted on 4th April, 2025 (GMT 08:52 hrs) ABSTRACT The article critiques the Supreme Court’s April 1, 2025, verdict, which overturned the NCLAT’s 2022 ruling, prolonging the financial agony of DHFL victims. It argues that this decision serves corporate interests, particularly Piramal’s alleged adverse possession of DHFL, while entangling victims in endless litigation. The piece calls for global advocacy, urging victims to take their fight to the United Nations and engage in digital and/or street-based civil resistance against what it describes as a compromised judiciary serving political and corporate elites. Dear Fellow DHFL Victims, We stand at the crossroads of despair and defiance, waiting for our Godot. Like characters in a Beckett play, we linger in the shadow of uncertainty, clutching the faint hope that justice might s...

  Piramal’s Legal Firm vs DHFL Victims: A Chronological Collage Piramal’s Legal Firm vs DHFL Victims: A Chronological Collage Posted on 20th March, 2025 (GMT 17:13 hrs) ABSTRACT Mr. Ajay Piramal’s legal firm, DSK Legal, has been targeting DHFL victims and OBMA members with defamation and contempt cases since March 2023. The cases aim to silence dissent against Ajay Piramal’s allegedly controversial acquisition of DHFL by PCHFL, an entity that is now merged with Piramal Enterprises Ltd. The legal actions seem to lack coherence, with apparently poor research and notarization of irrelevant documents. Victims have received emails allegedly from the Bombay High Court, but no detailed or mentionable official records are available as of yet. The article calls for continued digital activism to investigate and expose Mr. Piramal’s alleged ties to the BJP and possible financial misconduct. Where  the mind is [NOT] without fear and the head is  [NOT]   held high Where ...
