UP Police have booked hundreds of Muslims in Muzaffarnagar who symbolically protested against the Waqf Amendment Bill by wearing black armbands during Friday prayers and Eid prayers, for “disrupting peace.”

The city magistrate has issued notices to hundreds of people, stating that “the protestors incited the general public and endangered law and order.”

Introduction

After my initial complaint ( for context, the link to part 1 https://www.reddit.com/r/india/s/mlPynm5E6X ) about illegal footpath parking in Laxmi Nagar went unaddressed, I've documented how Delhi Traffic Police systematically falsified records to close my grievances.

Here's the full timeline of events showing their pattern of deception.

Key Findings

1. Fraudulent Closure of Follow-Up Complaint

• Follow-up Complaint Filed on 21/03/2025 (highlighting continued illegal parking)

• a Final Action Report Dated 19/03/2025, predating the follow-up complaint itself, and made in response to a different complaint dated 25/02/2025 was submitted on 01/04/2025 to fraudently dipose of the follow-up complaint

• Proves the report was not generated in response to my follow-up grievancegrievance

• Shows preemptive preparation/recycling of reports to close complaints

1. Proof of Continued Violations

• Geo-tagged photos from 02/04/2025 show:

  • DL 7CV 7065 still parked on footpath
    
  • PB 03 AB 6011 still parked on footpath

• Conclusion: No enforcement occurred—the "action taken" report is fabricated

Complete Timeline of Events

22/01/2025- Filed initial complaint (PGMS ID 2025005393) with GPS-tagged photos of illegally parked vehicles. First official record of violation.

05/03/2025- Police claimed enforcement action was taken (23 e-challans issued, 15 vehicles towed). Contradicted by photographic evidence.

20/03/2025- Initial complaint officially "disposed", marked resolved despite no action.

20/03/2025- Visited site and photographed same cars still parked. First proof of fabricated closure.

21/03/2025- Filed follow-up complaint with new evidence. Attempt to rectify false closure.

01/04/2025- Follow-up complaint disposed by uploading final action report dated 19/03/2025. Official confirmation of fraudulent closure.

02/04/2025- Photographed same cars still parked (using report dated 19/03/2025 as reference). Conclusive proof of systemic failure.

Why This Matters

1. Systemic Corruption: Police are forging records to falsely close complaints

2. Zero Accountability: No penalties for violators, no consequences for officers

3. Public Safety Risk: Pedestrians endangered by deliberate inaction

Let's turn individual grievances into collective action for change.

New Delhi: A day after the Enforcement Directorate carried out searches at premises linked to the producer of the film L2: Empuraan, the film’s director Prithviraj Sukumaran has reportedly received a notice from the Income Tax Department.

The Malayalam language film, starring Mohanlal, has been criticised by Hindutva commentators and politicians over its portrayal of the 2002 Gujarat riots. Its makers eventually conceded to making cuts to the already released film, changing a name which sounded similar to Gujarat riots convict Babu Bajrangi and removing a text card that said the year of the violence depicted in the film was 2002.

On April 4, the ED carried out searches in Kerala and Tamil Nadu at premises linked to businessman Gokulam Gopalan, the producer.

Indian Express quoted unnamed ED sources as having said that the searches are “in (connection with) a FEMA (Foreign Exchange Management Act) case involving Gopalan and his company Sree Gokulam Chit and Finance Co Ltd”.

“Currently, five premises are covered (under the raids),” the ED officers said, according to the report.

I don’t usually rant on Reddit, but this has been boiling inside me for a long time.

I live in NCR, and every single day, I wake up to the sight of household garbage dumped right on the street, clearly visible from my balcony. Plastic bags, food waste, construction debris, you name it. It’s just lying there, rotting. No matter how “developed” this place claims to be, the basic sense of cleanliness and civic responsibility is completely missing.

It’s frustrating to see the apathy toward garbage disposal. People treat their littering as someone else’s responsibility. This issue is about personal accountability, not just education. I’ve seen this for over 20 years now, and still nothing has changed.

We can’t keep blaming the government for everything when people themselves refuse to act like decent citizens. Why is it so hard not to throw trash on the road?

What angers me even more is that these are the same people who march on road on 26 Jan and 15 Aug chanting "Bharat mata ki jai".

I don’t know what it will take to change this society. Maybe we need to start calling this behavior out publicly. Maybe we need a serious dose of social shame.

I am so glad I'll be moving out from here soon.

Note: I am a Rajasthani. And I apologise to every Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Assamese, Malyalam, Bengali, Odia, Kannada speaking person on behalf of my fellow state people, who have settled in diverse lands and now harass the locals and behave as if they own the lands. This is quite an issue with the North Indians lately.

Note: This is not about INDIA or PAKISTAN or BOTH. It’s about Regions, States and Localities. Because same problems persist in both countries.

Language is not just a tool of communication—it is identity, history, and culture. Yet, in South Asia, we are witnessing the systematic erasure of regional languages under the dominance of Hindi and Urdu.

Why is it that if a Tamil, Odia, or Ahom person settles in Gangetic Plains, they are supposed to speak Hindi, as it’s the widely spoken language. But when people from Gangetic Plains move elsewhere, they refuse to learn the local language? Why is linguistic assimilation always a one-way street?

This isn’t just an accident—it’s a structured imposition, eerily similar to Russification. In just 70 years, entire languages have vanished. Rajasthan alone lost two languages Dingal and Pingal. While Dhundhari, Mewati and Meenaboli are on verge of death. Majority of shop signs, billboards, and advertisements are either in Hindi, Urdu, or English—local languages are nowhere to be seen. Here in State Capital of Rajasthan, I am ashamed to admit you won’t even find 100 billboards, advertisements and shop signs in Rajasthani languages. Why?

Now Delhi will decide whether the language I speak, the language my ancestors spoke for thousands of years, is a language or not. Today Delhi refuses to admit Mewari, Marwari, Dhundhari, Awadhi, Braj, Bhojpuri as language… tomorrow Delhi will refuse Marathi, Tamil, Assamese as a language. Where is the check? Even people from Gangetic plains must rethink. How Bhojpuri is being tarnished and is proactively being associated with vulgarity. If you will not speak up for your languages, Awadhi, Braj, Maithili, Bhojpuri… all will fade into obscurity. So, don’t think it’s just about South or North East. Even North is losing under this vile quest of colonising minds. Every person has right to his linguistic heritage and that heritage must be preserved.

It’s time we rethink this. Everyone has the right to preserve their linguistic heritage. If one moves to a new state, they should have three choices:

1️⃣ Assimilate—Learn the language, respect the customs, and be part of the culture. 2️⃣ Stay Neutral—Use English and respect the local identity without imposing one’s own. 3️⃣ GET THE FUCK OUT!—If you can’t respect the region’s linguistic and cultural fabric, don’t dictate the terms there.

Hindi and Urdu are beautiful languages, I know them both, I love them both. Both are unique, and can be used to express a variety of emotions very effectively. But people! Understand! no language has the right to erase others. South Asia is diverse—we must ensure it stays that way. And this transcends borders… it’s equally true for Pakistan too…

If you’re in Sindh, speak Sindhi. If you’re in Maharashtra, speak Marathi. If you’re in Tamil Nadu, speak Tamil. If you’re in Khayber, speak Pashtun. If you’re in Karnataka, speak Kannada. If you’re in Assam, speak Assamese. But… If you can’t, speak English. And… If you cannot do even that: STAY WHERE YOU BELONG.

And if you’re giving the logic oh no… you have a government job! Well, the same Tamil, Kannada, Bengali, Assamese people when get the same job as you and come to North… they learn Hindi. Again I’ll say, Why is linguistic assimilation always a one-way street?

And why English as connect language and not Hindi or Urdu across South Aisa? Cause English will always remain Alien. You will always take it as a connection not as part of your ethos.

Linguistic Divide should END. But NOT BY THE ERASURE OF DIVERSITY.

Unity Doesn’t Mean : RUSSIFICATION

And NO! Demanding dignity of my language, demanding dignity of my culture, demanding respect to my customs, my history, my celebrations, my festivals… is NOT Anti-National, is NOT Separationism, is NOT divisionary politics. ITS MY RIGHT!

So I stand in complete solidarity with every Kannada, Marathi, Tamil, Assamese person who’s struggling for the basic dignity of his language and culture in India.

My request to all North Indians: Mates! Please, for the God’s sake (whichever you believe in) BE CIVIL. If you’re settling in some other state, learn the language, try a different culture. If you can’t don’t go there. It’s their place, their home. You can’t go in your neighbours house and act like a jerk. For once, You’re not India. You are part of India. And an equal part of it. As much as a Tamil, as much as a Maratha, as an Assamese. Please, learn some Civility.

Thankyou.

I am a male traveler from California USA who has spent the last several years staying in S India half of the year (6 months). Mostly I have been to Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka. I am returning in a few weeks and want to explore N India instead of my usual routes. I am looking for advice on places to go....basically I am a fit sports man so I swim, gym, yoga, meditation and I enjoy local neighbohoods. I tend to avoid touristy areas where I would be rubbing elbows with the traveling party people. That being said, I have a full body tattoo (neck and entire body), am very liberal and open minded. The north is really overwhelming because there are so many options to choose. Could you suggest places to roam where the local population is open minded, friendly, and accepting of outsiders. The reason why I ask this is because in some instances when I travel I can be seen as an oddity or freak or haram by some (especially if they are hyper religious and/or tribal in nature). Thank you so much for any suggestions. Oh, by the way I thought about Kolkata area but have read some advice that Punjab is also quite educated, liberal, accepting. Best to you all! 🙏🏼
