Found a paper i wrote in my MA from 2013. In 3000w, i offered a reason for the partition of India, and explained ALL communal violence in post partition India. All this with full jargon, ~3 citations, and first name basis with scholars. Need same levels of confidence again, NOW.
Be very careful guys, muslims ne apni uniform utaar di hai aur crop tops pehen liye hain
Don't expect any action; I am right here in Delhi. Muslims have infiltrated the protests on a massive scale, dressed in ordinary clothes. The Delhi Police is completely controlled by the AAP, and incorrect information is being fed to the higher ups. This protest will escalate, and a major riot will break out in Delhi in the coming days, innocent Hindus will be killed, and then by labeling the perpetrators as students killed by police the blame will be shifted onto the BJP... while we just keep tweeting like fools.
past 10 yrs hv been this nonstop nonsense of how a group of ppl r the reason for us not being a 100 tn $ economy,unemployment,like an infinite accountability avoidance hack. Revision time for RW losers who will note down this narrative to vomit when questioned for their cruelty
Now that @ZohranKMamdani (yum!) has won the primary, can Indian wokes begin to care about Mayoral elections in their own constituencies back home? Rather than crying dismay, can we look for and celebrate people putting in the hard work on the ground, outside the JNU-DU aesthetic?
"Scholars" claim to be leftist in S Asia, move to EU/US & casually start dropping wisdom about clean air/water as indicators of the value of human life, fully ignoring chains of global capital,production cycles,& inequities of "free" trade which funds their hefty stipend. Dogle.
Is truth no longer a value we seek as humans? One can peddle lies to whatever extent and it seems acceptable and expected. How is it ok that media channels are creating confusion, panic, chaos, on both sides of the border? Why must the onus be on viewers to fact check?

"Much of the promised finance will be channelled through MDBs, which predominantly offer loans rather than grants...reliance on debt-based financing exacerbates economic vulnerabilities of developing nations, many of which are already grappling with high levels of external debt."
"The deal from COP29 utterly fails to ensure an equitable phase-out of fossil fuels ... the US, UK, Australia, Canada, and Norway – are responsible for 51% of planned oil and gas expansion through 2050, exemplifying stark climate hypocrisy."

Not my "abroad" friends telling me how great it is to live in saaf Hawa paani
I should say: for most of the affected countries, their cumulative emissions are still within their fair-share of the safe planetary boundary of 350ppm concentration of atmospheric CO2. (This map updates this study to 2019: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…)

Update on #RGKarMedicalCollegeHospital brutal rape and murder of female resident doctor:
CBI will take over the case at 10 am and here’s the condition of Chest Medicine department of RGKar Medical college (where the victim was a trainee and found dead in the seminar room).
It’s being ‘reconstructed’ or this is a desperate attempt to wipe out evidence (if not done already)?

Reading James Scott talk about the abstract tree in the state's "fiscal forestry" was mindblowing for 22 yo me, who was still wrapping her head around ways to look at capital as both an abstraction and objective reality. Then he infused agency and design into "barbarian"-ness.

कांवड़ यात्रा की पवित्रता के नाम पर दुकानदारों की जाति और धार्मिक पहचान उजागर करने का आदेश हिटलरवादी रणनीति की एक वीभत्स नकल है,जो जातिगत और धार्मिक भेदभाव को पोषित करती है और राज्य जब इसमें शामिल है तो समाज में अलगाववादी मानसिकता के विस्तार की आशंका और बढ़ जाती है@yadavakhilesh

This is the speech for which an Indian Muslim patriot Umar Khalid is in Jail for 1400 days.
This is the speech.
#Umarkhalid1400DaysInJail
The adjudicator in me is itching to give Akhilesh Yadav feedback to round off his arguments, sustain them, not leave them hanging, especially after raising strong, relevant points.
can someone please edit jay shah out of the media coming from the victory footage from yesterday? I just want to indulge in delusional pure joy no bad vibes feels for one day
Can I please take a moment to say what a year this has been for the dying patriot in me, eagerly but slowly coming back to life. Hope is the thing with feathers.

नेता हो तो ऐसा
ये सीकर के नवनिर्वाचित साँसद @AmraRamMPSikar हैं जो गरीब लोगों के घरों को तोड़ने पर खुद जेसीबी के ऊपर चढ़े और प्रशासन की जबरिया करवाई को रोका. प्रशासन लोगों के घरों को तोड़कर गाँव के बीचों बिच से हाईवे बना रहा था लेकिन वो हाईवे गांव के बाहर से बायपास भी निकाला जा सकता था. जब इन लोगों ने अमराराम को फोन किया तो अमराराम ने उस गाँव में पहुंचकर उनके घरों को बचा लिया.
