In recent days, India has witnessed a troubling series of events that strike at the heart of its democratic principles. Two hashtags, #RestoreHansrajMeena<\/strong> and #DemocracyUnderAttack<\/strong>, have been trending on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), shedding light on the erosion of freedoms and the arbitrary exercise of power by the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first incident revolves around the silencing of voices advocating for the rights of indigenous people, Dalits, marginalized communities, and farmers. Hansraj Meena, a prominent social activist and journalist, along with the Tribal Army organization, found their Twitter accounts blocked by the X at the request of the Indian government. This action not only stifles dissent but also violates the fundamental right to freedom of speech and expression enshrined in the Indian Constitution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
