Whereas the media is busy focusing on the one big story, another critical story is unfolding — snowless winter in the Himalayas — a serious threat to the region’s economy & ecology. To understand more, I spoke to climate scientists. Read in @third_pole

Intertidal. A book I have been writing for 4 years will be born soon. It is a diary of deep observation - of coast, wetland, climate and self, and accounts of taking action to stand up for these life-sustaining spaces.

Pre-orders out today - https://t.co/Zn22HHchi7

If you’re seeing #StopAdaniSavePulicat everywhere, watch: https://t.co/yNJN2KoCcl I made this video 2 years ago on coastal erosion, groundwater depletion, flooding that will arise if the Adani Port is given the green light for expansion

Kattupalli beaches all the way to the Pulicat estuary are important nesting ground for Olive Ridley sea turtles

@mkstalin and @CMOTamilNadu, your 2021 stance against the Kattupalli port expansion resonates with us.

Fresh off the press-My very first review article! I trace literature on slum redevelopment policies in India post-liberalization and highlight the silences on caste - both in terms of lived experience and how caste-capital nexus shapes urban materiality.

@ChandraUday @Lakshit59976109 In allowing ‘reservations’ on basis of just class and not caste, the state is maintaining the myth that caste isn’t a significant source of economic + political disenfranchisement. The ‘class’ that falls within EWS is messy because SC/ST/OBC groups within it are FAR worse off

[Padmapriya VG @PaulatheOctopus]

@ChandraUday @Lakshit59976109 Reservations are meant to redress centuries of economic, cultural and social disenfranchisement of particular communities - and account for the ways in which ongoing forms of cultural capital benefit dominant groups. I’m not sure who is doing ‘much better’ than others bec of them

Paraya, Pulaya, Pallar people. They were enslaved, their lands taken away, and forced into corvee labor building temples, irrigation canals and ploughing wet paddy fields. There is extensive documentation of it #ps1

[Sahithya @karuvachitweets]

Chola empire was built on casteism and slavery. We need to engage with that history critically, sit with those uncomfortable truths, not sidestep it for the sake of competitive visions of grandeur.

[Padmapriya VG @PaulatheOctopus]

@immamagpie Omg!! Congratulations, Dr. Govindan!

9 years old kid from my own Meghwal community was killed by the oppressor caste teacher for touching the waterpot. Earlier Jitendra Meghwal was killed for sporting a mustache. There is no end to this caste terrorism which is killing Dalits for merely existing in Rajasthan.
