Free Disha Ravi

Social change is happening. People are gathering and demanding change, and then getting arrested for believing in a cause. 

In November 2020, three farm laws were signed in India by Modi's Hindu radical right government. This legislation caused civil unrest, inciting farmers and civil rights supporters to take the streets. Climate Change activist Greta Thunberg tweeted a "toolkit" on the Farmers Protest and participated in the viral hashtags of #AskIndiaWhy, #FramersProtest , #TheWorldIsWatching.

On Republic Day, January 26th 2021, thousands of farmers on the border of New Dehli protested together causing a state of anarchy. The conservative government applied brutal police force, claiming that the farmers collaborated with the Khalistani organization—a Sikh separatist movement.

Police are currently investigating the Farmers Protests as a Civil Uprising, categorising them as terrorist leaving a bad image on India. On February 14th, 22-year-old climate change activist Disha Ravi got arrested for spreading a similar version to Greta Thunberg’s toolkit. According to Delhi’s police the toolkit promotes "enmity between different sections of society, treason, and criminal conspiracy."

What are the new farming laws?

The 3 new farming laws loosen legislation around the salee, pricing and storage of farm produce—farmers can now sell directly to private buyers. Beefore sales and prices were set by government controlled markets where a minimum price was guaranteed. Farmers are worried that opening their produce to private buyers will drive the prices down.

What does this toolkit look like?

A toolkit is the online equivalent of informational pamphlets and fliers on protests spread via social media. These may include facts, data, and discourse on the topic of the toolkit. 

Disha Ravi shared a now government-encrypted post on her social media, a toolkit on information similar to Greta Thunberg's, including inciting messages for people around the world to protest outside Indian embassies. 

This form of online activism got a 22 year old arrested for speaking up on social and environmental policies. Disha Ravi’s arrest is an attack on democracy and human rights. Join the thousands of people signing a petition to free Disha Ravi under the International Human Rights Court. Speaking up and acting on a cause, be it our people and justice, should not be oppressed by the state.

RT @swati_gs: Rinku was Sharma. Nikita was Tomar. Rachit was Jat Yet, the Hindu ‘upper caste’ is globally maligned for carrying out ‘genocide’ of other communities. The website, AskIndiaWhy, that featured in the protest toolkit along with ‘secular’ brigade of India, too pushed this propaganda

Toolkits popular online across political beliefs

When climate activist Greta Thunberg, who has 4.9 Twitter million followers, tweeted out a ‘toolkit’ meant to nudge protesting farmers’ voices towards a certain direction, the six-page document she shared became a subject of intense scrutiny and is now being investigated by Delhi Police. In the age of social media, toolkits are here to stay, say experts. According to Michael Kugelman, deputy director of the Asia Program and Senior Associate for South Asia at the Wilson Center, toolkits represent a form of 21st century activism, with emphasis on using social media and internet to galvanize activists and to share information on various online tools to rally support for a cause. Desi online groups also using toolkits to amplify their voices TOI found domestic online groups that are also using toolkits to amplify their voices and guide their movements in specific ways. A Telegram group called ‘Hindu Ecosystem’, with over 19.5k members, regularly tries to set the online agenda by sharing such “toolkits”. In the group’s description, the admins have posted a Google Form asking people to join the movement. One of the questions in the form asks people if they have any special area of interests such as “gauraksha, gausewa, fight ‘love jihad’, ghar wapasi…” One of the group admins, who goes by the username ‘We Support CAA’, shares word documents with ‘sample tweets’ daily and encourages people to post them on Twitter to make them trend. On the group, members regularly claim to have a hand in making some hashtags trend, which included linking the farmers’ protest with the Khalistan movement. The group also posted tweets with the hashtag “terror attack on Delhi” on January 27, a day after a section of farmers clashed with police. The Greta toolkit was dated back till January 23, and listed several hashtags like #AskIndiaWhy, #FarmersProtest and #TheWorldIs-Watching with specific dates on which they trended. It also contained sample tweets that would be posted in the future. Parts of the same resources are also publicly available on a website, www.askindiawhy-.com, which is built by a collective called Poetic Justice Foundation. PJF was cofounded by Mo Dhaliwal, a Khalistani sympathiser. PJF later denied any links with Thunberg’s tweet. According to The Logical Indian founding editor, Bharat Nayak, online toolkits are common since they determine the tone and intent of the campaign. “Problem with online campaigns arise because people can use fake handles and money to push their agenda, and there is no way to know if a trend is fake, and whether it is paid or not,” Nayak cautioned.
