Shocking! The ECI’s clarification on Form 6 essentially sends the message that the Election Commission will not abide by the Supreme Court’s directions in the Delhi SIR case!
The clarification insists on use of Form 6 for re-enrolling voters excluded from the draft voter list during SIR, despite SC’s oral directions of 28th October that using Form 6 for this purpose is an ERROR and such persons should be allowed to use Form 8/enumeration form.
When the matter was mentioned by @pbhushan1 in our Delhi SIR matter in Court today, Chief Justice Surya Kant stated that people need not fear as the case is before the Court. The bench asked the petitioners to file an application on this aspect and said that the matter will be heard on 19th November. The bench also stated that, if required, the ECI will be asked to extend the SIR date further.

Great review.
Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam is as watchable as it is questionable.

You’ve heard a lot about Umar Khalid through the media. But amid the media witch-hunt against him, there has been very little space for him to speak for himself, especially since he’s spent the last six years in jail.
So I want to tell you a little about my friend Umar, in his own words, as shared with his family and friends.

ANGH: An absolute knockout of a debut from Naga filmmaker Theja Rio. Set in 1960s Nagaland & meticulously shot on 16mm, Rio brings questions of faith, cultural erasure & colonial power into a haunting, vivid elegy about an underrepresented region. The best Indian film at #TIFF26

I have never seen a govt so hell bent on oppressing its female filmmakers.
Payal Kapadia, Anuparna Roy, Sandhya Suri, so many more who I probably dont know.
But they will make their films, and we will also see them, no matter how hard you try for us to not see those stories.
Amrit Amlan Pattanaik retweeted
Anuparna Roy's tender, humane, queer, Venice Film Fest-winning debut SONGS OF FORGOTTEN TREES was blocked for distribution in India because CBFC thinks its a "threat to society". I wonder if its because of her viral speech.
Completely anti-cinema body. Needs to go asap. Shame.
