More than education it is about hunger which depends on income levels; people smoke to kill hunger.

In the map below, Tobacco use seems to be broadly inversely co-related to States’ per capita incomes. The lower the income, the higher the % of men using tobacco. Will surely be correlated to education levels as well.

It's just so hilarious how these virtues of "interdisciplinary career trajectories" apply when one of their circle jerk cabal is in question. Else rest of their living daylights are spent berating everyone & questioning credentials, given the immense spare time they have to waste

Romantic poet Samuel Coleridge wrote one of the most tender and poignant letter accepting the rejection of a proposal from a woman he deeply loved. He remarked:

"To love you, habit has made unalterable. This passion, however, divested as it now is of all shadow of hope, will lose its disquieting power. Far distant from you I shall journey through the vale of men in calmness. He cannot long be wretched, who dares be actively virtuous.I have burnt your letters—forget mine; and that I have pained you, forgive me!"

@nehavermani Neha ji aapke tweets padh ke hi bitterness ki bahot kharab boo aati hai. Academic papers padhne mein to plague ho jaega.

[Lily D'Potter @LilyMePot]

Arey ye Neha Vermani aur bewakoofon ka sardar Samyak Ghosh history-sheeters maloom hote hain. Unke khilaf kuch na bolo but ye sabke khilaf bolenge. Kaun hain ye log aur kya likha hai inhone? Itna zyada khoon kala kyun hai inka?

What is particularly interesting in Swati and Ramesh's disagreement with Economist's piece (on Delhi no longer being the the intellectual capital of India, since 2014) is that they don't utter a word for the city Economist mentions as the (unlikely) new intellectual capital of India!

@FarooqiMehr Faruqi sahab also criticised Nazeer, didn't he?

[Lily D'Potter @LilyMePot]

Faltu baat hai. If your work is good enough, it will always be relevant with, without politics. As historian your work is history, not politics. And anyway time is circular; the past is forever present.

[Samyak Ghosh 🌈 @GhoshSamyak]

Sorry, i refuse to take any historian seriously whose work doesn’t have any bearing on the present. There’s no point being an archive rat and recovering xyz histories when the world is being burned to ashes by nefarious forces. In other words, good history is always political!

[Lily D'Potter @LilyMePot]

The differentiation being highlighted is his references to akhbarat, which sounds like referring to Panchjanya (or any news media) to write about Modi. But we shall see. I haven't seen the book in a booskhop yet.

[Lily D'Potter @LilyMePot]

Juggernaut is of course using AI to write the captions. But how it is marketing Munis Faruqui's Aurangzeb Alamgir is quite marvellous. Reviewers have received the book much in advance, and only those have been considered who promise to deliver the review by a certain date. 1/n

[Lily D'Potter @LilyMePot]

..to promote his book. But the effort is not because he is a great historian, the effort is for Aurangzeb. Will Alamgir sell? We will see. Also worth seeing will be does the book have real meat or is taking a position for the sake of it.

[Mad Milton @PhilipPanass]

Unsurprising that you will admire Kaul's scholarship but for an overview of how terrible her work is, Luther Obrock's review is a must-read—
