Irrfan Khan died exactly two years ago today. I think about him every day. I went long for @Hazlitt on my obsession with Khan, what it was like to grow up watching him on screens in India and the US. These are a fan’s furtive notes, written over years https://t.co/peUw68GmMB

I've tweeted before about how an old tattered Marathi copy of Little Women is an heirloom on my mom's side of the family. Translation by Shanta Shelke.

.@Google decided to disinvite caste activist Thenmozhi Soundararajan from a scheduled talk for a section of its staff. They did it to appease those who think that talking about caste is divisive!! So is talking about race,gender, and sexuality!!

I would rather stay hungry at the Swedish host's home than eat on separate plastic plates at the upper castes' home.
A short ��on caste, food, and Indians.
Indians tweeting about Swedish not sharing food and saying Indians share food with others is quite amusing as Indians share food only among their own castes. Forget the food; Indians don't share water with other castes.

Small thread on a small, common incident.
Noticed half way in the metro journey this evening that 2 men, sitting diagonally opposite me, kept staring at me. I looked away + looked back a few times to check, and they were still looking.

The hate that television anchors, editors & politicians have pumped into the body politic in the last few years has begun to show its effects beyond the voting booth in a scaled-up manner. Genocide sansads & apps to auction women are merely the early fruits. Fasten your seatbelt.
