Our current activities concentrate on the case of Dewan Housing Finance Corporation Limited (DHFL), India. While exploring and investigating this particular case, we have found that India’s crony ruling party, gangsters, banksters as well as religious gurus and institutions are involved in the same. Therefore, to break such collusion, we have decided to deploy an “all out attack” on the existing paradigm of neoliberal market economy as well as market fundamentalism. ***DISCLAIMER: We have collected all the data from available sources on the internet as given on the official portals of media houses, websites and institutions and organizations.

Dear DHFL Victims, Share Your Grievances with “Awaaz Bharat Ki”

The article urges victims of the Dewan Housing Finance Corporation Limited (DHFL) collapse to submit their grievances via the Leader of the Opposition’s portal, Awaaz Bharat Ki. It alleges the DHFL crisis was a politically orchestrated scam allegedly benefiting industrialist Ajay Piramal through a “quid pro quo” with the BJP. The article highlights the plight of fixed deposit and non-convertible debenture holders—especially vulnerable groups like senior citizens, widows, the disabled, and charitable trusts—who lost their savings due to DHFL’s fraud. A timeline traces events from the 2019 exposure of financial irregularities to ongoing legal proceedings in 2025, criticizing the RBI-appointed Committee of Creditors for a biased resolution process. The article proposes five remedies: (1) ending crony capitalism and dismantling BJP-industrialist collusions (Ambani, Adani, Piramal); (2) Supreme Court intervention to ensure justice; (3) launching mass protests and social media campaigns for accountability; (4) securing judicial autonomy by separating it from executive control; and (5) scrapping the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (2016), citing its misuse in DHFL’s case. It closes with a call for distributive justice through collective resistance and systemic reform.

From Silence to Storm: DHFL Victims’ Fight Beyond the Saffronized Judiciary

The article critiques the Supreme Court’s April 1, 2025, verdict, which overturned the NCLAT’s 2022 ruling, prolonging the financial agony of DHFL victims. It argues that this decision serves corporate interests, particularly Piramal’s alleged adverse possession of DHFL, while entangling victims in endless litigation. The piece calls for global advocacy, urging victims to take their fight to the United Nations and engage in digital and/or street-based civil resistance against what it describes as a compromised judiciary serving political and corporate elites.

Examining the Supreme Court’s Ruling on the DHFL “Fraud” (?) Cases

The article examines the recent verdict of the Supreme Court of India regarding the Dewan Housing Finance Corporation Limited (DHFL) “fraud” (?) cases. It raises concerns about the integrity, accountability and transparency of the present Indian judiciary, highlighting India’s low rankings in global indices related to the rule of law and corruption. The piece also touches upon alarming incidents, such as the discovery of burnt cash at a judge’s residence, and critiques the perceived erosion of the separation between the judiciary and the political executive. These issues are framed within a broader context of the challenges confronting India’s democratic institutions, prompting critical questions about the Supreme Court’s verdict on the DHFL “Scam” cases. The article concludes with a call for hope, emphasizing the potential for resilience on the part of the DHFL victims.

Silencing the Digital Dawn: India’s Censorship Crusade vs. Musk, Youth, and the Defrauded

The article explores India’s increasing efforts to regulate online discourse and the pushback it encounters from Elon Musk’s X platform, along with younger generations of climate activists and digitally engaged victims of financial scams. It emphasizes the Indian government’s utilization of the Information Technology Act to enforce extensive content removal, specifically targeting dissent and criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration. Recently, X has filed a lawsuit against these measures in the Karnataka High Court, claiming unlawful censorship. The piece outlines how this crackdown restricts free expression, particularly among tech-savvy youth who depend on platforms like X to articulate political and environmental discontent. Additionally, it connects these efforts to broader issues, such as attempts to silence the voices of defrauded citizens from the DHFL scam, preventing them from raising their grievances online. While Musk positions X as a champion of free speech, this scenario reveals a complicated struggle between state control, corporate interests, and grassroots digital activism against the backdrop of India’s escalating authoritarian tendencies.

Piramal’s Legal Firm vs DHFL Victims: A Chronological Collage

Mr. Ajay Piramal’s legal firm, DSK Legal, has been targeting DHFL victims and OBMA members with defamation and contempt cases since March 2023. The cases aim to silence dissent against Ajay Piramal’s allegedly controversial acquisition of DHFL by PCHFL, an entity that is now merged with Piramal Enterprises Ltd. The legal actions seem to lack coherence, with apparently poor research and notarization of irrelevant documents. Victims have received emails allegedly from the Bombay High Court, but no detailed or mentionable official records are available as of yet. The article calls for continued digital activism to investigate and expose Mr. Piramal’s alleged ties to the BJP and possible financial misconduct.

Grok Against Indian Oligarchs?

The controversy surrounding AI chatbot Grok 3 in India highlights the intensifying digital resistance against the BJP-led government’s control over narratives. Grok’s candid responses on topics like Modi’s communal politics, RSS’s negligible role in India’s independence, and Adani’s corporate ties have triggered backlash from BJP supporters, who accuse it of bias. The Indian government’s pressure on X (formerly Twitter) to regulate AI responses mirrors previous crackdowns on digital activism, including restrictions on Fridays for Future and censoring dissenting voices. This uproar coincides with the renewed global scrutiny on Adani, particularly after U.S. legal actions against his business empire. The broader issue at stake is India’s declining free speech environment, as evidenced by its low ranking in global indices, reflecting growing censorship of politically inconvenient truths. The OBMA activist group, which has faced legal threats from Ajay Piramal’s DSK Legal for exposing financial scandals linked to BJP-affiliated corporates like DHFL, draws parallels between Grok’s suppression and their own experiences. This case underscores how India’s ruling establishment leverages legal and digital suppression to shield oligarchic interests while stifling criticism at home and abroad.

The DHFL “Scam” Fiasco: Grok’s Responses

The article examines the Dewan Housing Finance Corporation Limited (DHFL) scandal—India’s largest banking fraud involving over Rs 34,000 crore—through a hypothetical Q&A with Grok, an AI by xAI, detailing how promoters Kapil and Dheeraj Wadhawan allegedly siphoned funds via 66 shell companies, leaving Rs 29,849 crore unpaid to a 17-bank consortium. It critiques the resolution process that handed DHFL to Piramal Capital for Rs 34,250 crore, seen as undervalued and costing banks Rs 65,000 crore, while FD and NCD holders, especially seniors, received a mere 23% payout amid ongoing legal disputes. Grok’s responses highlight systemic issues like crony capitalism, regulatory failures, and political ties—including Rs 20 crore donated to the BJP—alongside unproven terror-funding links to Dawood Ibrahim, weaving a narrative of financial misconduct and establishment collusion still under investigation by the CBI and ED, as the authors push for greater scrutiny.

India’s Financial Meltdown: A Decade of Defaults, Bankruptcies and Economic Ruin

India has faced widespread bankruptcies between 2015 and 2025, with significant failures in banks, non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), and large corporations, exacerbating core economic issues. The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) has largely failed, leaving citizens to bear the brunt time and again. Key examples include DHFL, PNB, IL&FS, PMC, Yes Bank, Essar Steel, and Jet Airways. Additionally, write-offs (waive offs?!) of corporate loans have surged, and bank fraud cases are on the rise, with rising defaults and poor recovery rates. The ongoing financial instability, caused by such frauds, defaults and bankruptcies, has eroded investor confidence, leading to massive sell-offs. This trend has contributed to market volatility, as institutional and retail investors face significant losses, further deepening the economic distress in terms of inevitable inflation and recession risks.

The Great Anachronism: Putting the Cart Before the Horse—The DHFL “Scam”

The article critiques the handling of the DHFL case, arguing that legal actions preceded proper investigations and production of evidence, leading to unjust outcomes for the DHFL victims. In 2019, the Wadhawan brothers were penalized without trial and justification, and payouts to FD and NCD holders were halted as DHFL was placed under the flawed IBC framework. Despite irregularities flagged by the NCLT and NCLAT in 2021-22, the Supreme Court’s stay order allowed Mr. Piramal to acquire DHFL, which was later merged into PCHFL and consequently into the Piramal Enterprises. In January 2025, the CBI closed the case, clearing the Wadhawans of all allegations of “criminal conspiracy”. The article argues that state-corporate interests dictated the process, subverting justice and likening it to “putting the cart before the horse.”
