Pandithar Iyothee Thassar passed away on 5th May 1914, a hundred and nine years back. He was a scholar, activist, and Buddhist who saw in the Tamil archive an originary "community." On this Buddha Purnima let us remember Thassar's life.

This is a fascinating collection of readings on the relevance and impact from EPW.

[Economic & Political Weekly @epw_in]

#AmbedkarJayanti | Ambedkar was a visionary whose profound impact on Indian society and politics reverberates through the sands of time, with his aspirations to create a social framework of liberty, fraternity and equality for all. Through this thread, we look at his rich legacy.

[Dickens Leonard @Lenny_iitd]

Dr. Ambedkar's paradigmatic life and thought signify an 'artefact of disclosure' as well.

Like those who know to throw a punch, also tap-along and dance to a tune; the anti-Caste critique, while sharpening the spade, endeavours to carve a monument that a rock with-holds.

[Dickens Leonard @Lenny_iitd]

@mondalsudipto What a fantastic read, Sudipto. Fabulous narrative! Thanks for writing this.

[Dickens Leonard @Lenny_iitd]

@subhajit_n You got it all wrong. Engage with those who matter, but you just talked at them. There is a huge disagreement and disappointment with such a stance with all due respect.

[Dickens Leonard @Lenny_iitd]

@NeelamPublicat1 What a lovely initiative. வாழ்த்துக்கள்.

[Dickens Leonard @Lenny_iitd]

A fantastic history of the photographic image and the presidential elections in the US.

[Dickens Leonard @Lenny_iitd]

An important moment to remember and relate with...

[Economic & Political Weekly @epw_in]

As today marks the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition, we look into the #EPW archives to delve into lesser known perspectives on the history of slave trades across the world, and its significance in the system of capitalism.

[Dickens Leonard @Lenny_iitd]

@Komal_Rajak_ Great news! Congrats Komal.

[Dickens Leonard @Lenny_iitd]

@KRManoharan This book is a monumental labour of radical love!
