Nearly a month after Rasuwa's calamity, we are still trying to grapple with the scale of humanitarian disaster and economic/infrastructural costs, not to speak of fears for the future, and Nepal's limited ability to alert the world even as finds itself in the middle of cascading horrors.

Had a great chat w/ @Hindus4HR's Faria Rahman for my group @FFRF's YouTube show on the recent #HinduNationalist #RSS rally in NYC, the protests there that @Hindus4HR was a part of, the RSS' influence in the #US and its threat to #India's secular democracy. ffrf.org/news/releases/secul…

There is a primary school in a quiet village in Bengal with a building named after a Venezuelan revolutionary who helped liberate much of South America. The answer lies in the long, meandering story of India–Venezuela relations. Thread. 1/22
