When Javed Akhtar dismisses A.R. Rahman’s concerns about the growing communalisation of Bollywood he contradicts lived & shared realities of Indian Muslims including those of his own wife Shabana Azmi, who has openly spoken about being denied housing for being Muslim in a cosmopolitan city like Bombay. Bollywood has always been a living mini India mirroring the country’s social realities. Brushing aside such experiences does not change the truth about today’s India.

But a massive farmers rally is currently underway in Palghar, overwhelmingly comprising tribals
Thousands are marching towards the collectorate, demanding restoration of MNREGA & proper implementation of Forest Rights Act, among other things

The mob lynching of a Muslim man that outraged India .The lynching that shook our collective conscience. We have come a long way as a nation. Congratulations y’all
We got a bidet. It’s incredible. Bidets are a reminder that even when it comes to cleaning an asshole the United States managed to normalize the most inefficient, expensive, destructive, and unhealthy way to do something.
Presenting ‘Intisāb’ — roughly translated to mean ‘Dedication.’ This is a dedication from us, to what could have been, what should have been but what isn’t. This is a dedication from us, to those who grieve, to those who cannot, and to those born in grief.
Coming soon.

& there there will be silence because there would be no SC ST students
