Our favorite version of Hanuman Chaleesa, sung by M.S. Subbulakshmi, should be a good start for this Twitter page.

It was a great pleasure to’ve delivered a #BrownBagLunch-talk,titled“‘The Press TASS of India’:the #CIA’s Perception of #Soviet Cultural-Political Clout in Cold-War #India”,on 08.06.2026;dōmo arigato to the IIAS/AmeKen,@DoshishaUniv_PR,for the invitation.
The Q&A was v.enjoyable.

Thanks loads to @ians_india& @ArunAnandLive-jī for this short interview about H.E.#PMModi’s visits to France& Slovakia.
While the🇮🇳-🇫🇷-partnership’s a key strategic relationship,it’s crucial that GoI finetunes its pivot to Central& Eastern #Europe;there’s a lot to be done there🙏🏼

It was an honour& a pleasure to listen to& briefly engage with Prof.@PatrickDeneen at the Doshisha Uni,#Kyoto,on 05.06.
His take on the need to break the binary political hegemony of the competing liberalisms of wokeness& market fundamentalism will resonate far beyond the #USA🙏🏼

This talk,by Prof.@SatoshiMizutani-san,promises to be a most thought-provoking one🙏🏼
The comparative lens can indeed shed a revealing light on racist& exploitative-extractive praxes across what were competing yet(more often than acknowledged)colluding colonial-imperial structures

@SudhanidhiB As someone who moved from Presi to Jadavpur,before going to #JNU(where the #ABVP’d given me a Central-Panel-ticket in 2003)& DU,finally moving abroad,I was always sickened by the dominance of WB-student-politics by utter lumpenism!
Hope @BJP4Bengal’ll be able to drain the swamp!

[Gautam Chakrabarti, Dr.phil.🪷डॉ. गौतम चक्रवर्ती🌅 @DrGChakrabarti]

characteristic direct but polished& civil candour,he asked(on national TV)a flummoxed Biman Bose,who was seen as the cog of the CPI(M)’s organisational wheel:“are all of Dum Dum’s voters communal?”
That evening,in a small suburban house,I saw what truly classy honesty looks like!

There’re MANY things to celebrate about @swapan55-দা’s victory in one of #Kolkata’s traditionsreiche(=rich with traditions,in🇩🇪)constituencies;my favourite’s the triumph of a pen of the calibre of Nirad C.& Khushwant Singh over vicious lumpenism!
I remember that moment when,with

This post by @BrahmasmiAham expresses what many folks(Bengali/not)feel;for way too long has the rich& syncretic Bengali #Hindu culture been sidelined in its very heartland by pseudo-secular„intellectuals“!
Rampant gutter-level lumpenism& vote-bank-manipulations don’t work forever

[Gautam Chakrabarti, Dr.phil.🪷डॉ. गौतम चक्रवर्ती🌅 @DrGChakrabarti]

Honestly,I feel #Bengal’s dire socioeconomic situation has now attained escape velocity;so,dunno if #poribortonerpothewb’ll work!
But,I fully agree with Ms. @SmritiIraniOffc’s comment!
Any Indian person BELONGS in WB;linguistic chauvinism has NO place in🇮🇳

Ever since the fall of the #USSR(& I’m NO apologist),the transatlanticist #West has been treating the Global East with a condescension similar to that it’d always shown the South.
🇺🇸’s prolonged post-1989 global victory-laps’ve given way to imperial decline;#Trump’s but a symptom

[Gautam Chakrabarti, Dr.phil.🪷डॉ. गौतम चक्रवर्ती🌅 @DrGChakrabarti]

A giant leap was taken by #India in energy-security:the PFBR at #Kalpakkam just went critical;🇮🇳’s massive thorium-reserves(25% of the global)just became convertible commercially.
That’s like 7 centuries of power-supply!
The #West can keep patronising us;we’ll keep marching ahead

[Gautam Chakrabarti, Dr.phil.🪷डॉ. गौतम चक्रवर्ती🌅 @DrGChakrabarti]

This post by the🇮🇳author-diplomat @theabhayk shows how far& wide the #Indic cultural footprint reached in the pre-modern age;the South #Caucasus saw a lot of Indian entanglements.
Abhayjī,from the #Volga Indians to the merchants in #Baku,there’s a lot of hidden history to uncover

Thanks loads to @orfonline,Dr.@AmritaNarlikar & al.for a most timely& nuanced scholarly intervention in trans-species #ethics;I’ve always championed human-animal equality in jurisprudence.
As the #Gaia-thesis shows,all life’s connected;like Yudhišthira,we’ve a duty to defend dogs

@lill_the_swiss Das war ein Traum von vielen von uns,„long in the making“;🇮🇳&🇮🇱waren immer gleichsinnige Partners,auch wenn Delhi eine andere Regierungspartei hatte,aber jetzt ist diese Allianz politisch& strategisch im siebten Himmel.
Wir hoffen,dass es viel stärkere& globalere Kooperation gibt

Momentous decisions,based on years of bilateral hard work& mutual trust-building,were taken by #Bibi& #ModiInIsrael;I was touched by the warm welcome the🇮🇳PM was given in the #Knesset& his visit to Yad Vashem.
But,this pic just takes the cake;am a tad jealous of the PM.

A graceful& touching music-video from🇮🇳’s #Northeast,calling upon(mainly)North Indians to not treat the ethnicities there as“Chinese”;I couldn’t agree more!
The beautiful& proud women& men of the #SevenSisters’re major geopolitical,natural-& human-resource& cultural assets;💗them

@suhasinih @MunSecConf Whether or not the applauders were🇺🇸,the fact remains that in certain transatlantic(also academic!)contexts„postcolonial“has become almost an obscenity;with migrants becoming less docile,white insecurity‘s growing!
I’m more worried about this white-collar racism than #MAGA babble

[Gautam Chakrabarti, Dr.phil.🪷डॉ. गौतम चक्रवर्ती🌅 @DrGChakrabarti]

Спасибо большое/बहुत धन्यवाद,@RT_India_news!
This’s yet another well-deserved #padmaawards2026-pick by #GoI;warm congrats to Liudmila Viktorovna🙏🏼
I remember that evening in #JNU in 2004,when she introduced me to someone VVVI;we also translated a small #Punjabi-booklet together.

[Gautam Chakrabarti, Dr.phil.🪷डॉ. गौतम चक्रवर्ती🌅 @DrGChakrabarti]

Thanks loads to Dr.@VinayNalwa for a balanced OpEd;white-collar #Hinduphobia seems to be rising in the #West as #NRI-communities keep scaling new heights.
I feel this’s an envy-triggered modification of the older infantilisation of #Indic religio-cultural praxes;we need to fight!

A moving tribute to Prof.Har Gobind Khorana(#NobelPrize,Physiology/Medicine,1968)from a former colleague;after Yellapragada Subbarow,he’s the biggest name in Indian-American medical research🙏🏼
The extent to which #Indians,along with #Jewish Eurasians,made🇺🇸great is mind-boggling!
