Male students at Afghanistan’s Nangarhar University walked out of exams in solidarity w/ female students protesting Taliban-initiated educational ban against women

Respect to students risking their well-being for an equitable, just society—you understand true spirit of education

#Periyar

[Chetan Kumar Ahimsa / ಚೇತನ್ ಅಹಿಂಸಾ @ChetanAhimsa]

Today (Dec 24) in 1973 Thande Periyar—beacon of equalitarianism & flair—passed away

Periyar lifelong opposed Brahminical onslaught of Congress Party as personified by Gandhi & Nehru then

We must follow in Periyar’s footsteps by challenging hegemony of Hindi/Hindu/Hindutva today

[Chetan Kumar Ahimsa / ಚೇತನ್ ಅಹಿಂಸಾ @ChetanAhimsa]

Today, I expressed solidarity w/ movement for internal reservations in Freedom Park, Bengaluru

All who live & champion equalitarianism must support this representation of marginalised groups w/in SCs & STs

Along w/ internal, private sector & population % reservations are musts

Equalitarians. Friends. 20th c’s greatest Indians.

ಸಮಾನತಾವಾದಿಗಳು. ಗೆಳೆಯರು. 20 ನೇ ಶತಮಾನದ ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಅದ್ಭುತ ಭಾರತೀಯರು.

Indian history is built on palimpsestic cultural influences—where one theological/cultural universe superimposes on another

Vivekananda says Jagannath temple was originally a Buddhist shrine

Hindutva’s attempt to ‘reclaim’ mosques is based on self-serving distortion of history

[Chetan Kumar Ahimsa / ಚೇತನ್ ಅಹಿಂಸಾ @ChetanAhimsa]

March for internal reservations has reached Freedom Park today

All equalitarians must support this strong demand as it’s essence of social justice

We must make representation possible just as our 19th-20th c Bahujan icons did—>Jai Phules/Shahu/Odeyar/Periyar/Babasaheb/KanshiRam

For 1000 yrs of Vedic period (1500-500 BCE), there was no temple worship

After Buddha & perpetuation of Buddhist stupas/pagodas for millennium, Hindu temples came into existence

If Hindutva can claim agency over Islamic mosques, Buddhists can claim same over many Hindu temples

[Chetan Kumar Ahimsa / ಚೇತನ್ ಅಹಿಂಸಾ @ChetanAhimsa]

Secularism is the separation of govt from religious institutions

None of Karnataka’s mainstream political parties practice secularism

BJP = political Hindutva

Congress/JDS/AAP = political Hinduism

Karnataka requires a truly secular political consciousness for transformation

‘Gandhadagudi’ — a fantastic final tribute to my good friend & big brother Appu Sir

Appu Sir at his candid, colourful best; Amoghavarsha’s direction brilliant

Along w/ nature, portrayal of adivasis/alemaaris is strong

‘GG’ & ‘Bhakta Prahlada’ are my all-time fav Appu Sir films
