  Resist Fear, Defend Freedom: Stop SLAPPs, Stop Surveillance Posted on 16th August, 2025 (GMT 03:45 hrs) ABSTRACT This video exposes how India’s democracy is under siege through SLAPPs (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation), draconian laws like UAPA, and unchecked digital surveillance. From the DHFL scam victims fighting corporate–state collusion, to students, journalists, and whistleblowers imprisoned or silenced, the message is clear: truth-telling has been criminalized. Drawing from Tagore’s vision of a fearless India, the video demands strong anti-SLAPP protections, accountability in surveillance, and safeguards for free speech — reminding us that defending dissent is defending the Constitution itself. “Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high… Where knowledge is free… Where words come out from the depth of truth…” — Rabindranath Tagore These words, written over a century ago, imagined an India where truth could be spoken without fear.

  A Cry for Justice: The DHFL FD and NCD Holders’ Battle Against Political and Corporate Nexus Posted on 11.o6.2025. GMT:21.57 ABSTRACT This letter addresses the plight of Dewan Housing Finance Corporation Limited (DHFL) Fixed Deposit (FD) and Non-Convertible Debenture (NCD) holders, whose hard-earned savings remain ensnared in a financial scandal marked by alleged corporate malfeasance and political collusion. It explores the contentious acquisition of DHFL by Ajay Piramal, a businessman purportedly favored by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), spotlighting his predictive claims, ties to the Flashnet Scam, and substantial electoral bond contributions totaling ₹48 crores. The narrative critiques the judiciary’s role, highlighting a perceived erosion of independence through expedited rulings, political influence, and symbolic breaches like the Prime Minister’s visit to the Chief Justice’s residence for Ganesh Chaturthi, alongside judicial deference in cases like the Ram M...
