Some look at this “mīthai” (mee-thai) or sweet and call it “parsād”. But many Indo-Caribbean Hindus know it to be “mohanbhog,” meaning ‘Lord Krishna’s food’. “Mohan” is one of Lord Krishna’s multiple aliases and “bhog” translates to food and/or cuisine.

Devastated to learn that the political scientist James C. Scott recently passed away. Such a generous, brilliant, and original thinker, from "Weapons of the Weak" to "Moral Economy of the Peasant" to "Seeing Like a State" to "Against the Grain."

Last week,the first group of Indian workers were sent to Israel in an indenture-like relationship to 'replace' #Palestinian workers in a deal between the Modi govt & the genocidal Israeli regime. I write about it in this policy paper for @PalStudies🧵

33 years ago tonight, 14 women went to bed thinking about their finals, future in STEM and the upcoming holiday season. They didn’t know that these dreams threatened a man’s sense of self worth and that they wouldn’t survive to see their goals and aspirations become a reality.

So psyched to be a published academic! My first academic article is out in an edited volume entitled #IndiaInTheWorld with some other wonderful contributors. Thanks to everyone who helped make this possible. It was amazing to hold this outside my head 😅
