Language holds memory and different languages remember differently. Equally, a loss of language induces forgetting (a loss of memory).

Though the NDA got more seats than INDIA Alliance, yet this result is a defeat for NDA. They claimed 400 paar, but fell below 300 & BJP fell well short of a majority.
See the odds against which the INDIA alliance contested. They didn’t even have 10% of money that BJP had. Their accounts were frozen, their leaders arrested. Virtually the entire mainstream media became a propaganda arm of BJP. The ECI was also partisan &batting for BJP. Virtually all institutions including most of the judiciary were also batting for the BJP.
For the Opposition to snatch victory from the jaws of BJP is an enormous achievement. Made possible by the heroic efforts of many INDIA leaders particularly Rahul, Priyanka, Akhilesh, Mamta, Tejaswi, MK Stalin, Uddhav Thakre; & many heroic people on YouTube & social media particularly Ravish, Dhruv, Ajit Anjum, Akash Bannerjee, Punya Prasun, Bhagat Ram, Ms Medusa, Neha Singh Rathore, Ranting Gola, Sakshi Joshi to name only a few. Many alternate media platforms like The Wire, Scroll, Caravan, Newslaundry, Reporters Collective etc to name a few. Also many YouTube news channels like DB News, 4 PM news, to name only a few. Also many Political commentators like Yogendra Yadav & social media influencers like Zubair et al & countless civil society human rights defenders.
There are many many sung & unsung heroes who came together to save our Democracy & Constitution. Let us all savour & celebrate this moment

BJP leader Ajay Mishra Teni has lost the Lakhimpur Kheri Lok Sabha seat.

Teni came into the spotlight in 2021 when a convoy associated with him mowed down protesting farmers in Lakhimpur Kheri in early October. Protesters present at the scene accused Teni’s son, Ashish Mishra, of leading the violence. In July 2000, Teni was accused of murdering 29-year-old student leader Prabhat Gupta in Lakhimpur Kheri.

Read this 2021 report, by @jatinder_tur and @SunilKashyap0, on the many allegations against Teni:

Modi delivered one of the worst hate speeches of his career in Banswara. Here, he called Muslims infiltrators, people with multiple children who are eyeing the jewelry of Hindu women. BJP lost Banswara by 247k. This is a mandate against Modi's communal bile.

My review of ‘Women Incarcerated’ for @TheoreticalCrim is out! Here, I show how experiences of women prisoners expose the gendered carceral nexus between state (prison, police) and private institutions (family, marriage).

Enjoyed reading the review. Will get a copy of the book. I visited Sundarban as a tourist in 2018 and loved the beauty of this marginal resource zone. Rising sea level is fast taking away its land. As a student of Geography, i hve plan to visit the region again with students.
