This week, Public Feelings reads, The Right to Sex! As much as Srinivasan is concerned with the juridical and philosophical as sites of formulating feminist theory, she also centres the quotidian — the classroom and the porn website — as sites for serious exploration of feminism
Bhagwan Das, who worked with Ambedkar as his research assistant, noted Ambedkar's passion for reading in his memoir. As a fierce educationist himself, Ambedkar is a critical figure in the history of Indian education. This week, we read @Public_feelings
Dr Ambedkar remarked that the educated classes cannot be relied upon to assist in transforming the future of the 'backward and the depressed classes'. The right to benefit from education should be given to all, but through equal representation in how the university functions.
CfP! The inaugural issue of Public Feelings explores the theme ‘university.’ We seek contributions from those considered both insiders and outsiders, who, as Moten & Harney write, "bleed the university in order to keep alive what we could kill" i.e. learners, teachers & workers!
On this 14 August I hope I live to see the day when people from all over the subcontinent can cross these borders without an issue. When we can drive to Amritsar for breakfast and be back by evening. I hope our coming generations live to see that EU-like future. It might seem like an absurdity today but it’s dreamers who change the world.
@UnivofDelhi pls tell us how can an OBC certificate be renewed when it is still valid? How do you expect candidates to produce an OBC (ncl) certificate issued AFTER March 2025 for admission in May 2025? What should people with VALID certificates do?
Family and friends in Jammu have not slept a wink. De-escalate now! Stop promising a war that uses Jammu and Kashmir as cannon fodder. There are points of no return in such 'skirmishes'; de-escalate when you can. India and Pakistan must immediately de-escalate.
What's happening in Jammu? Can someone doing ground coverage connect please? Was on call with parents and heard explosions and then a blackout? is this some drill?
India's anti-intellectualism was evident when Dr. Manmohan Singh was constantly ridiculed for being 'silent' simply because he did not fit the populist fantasy of a roaring fascist. His economic policies could be critiqued because he did not use all his might to quash dissent.
When Dr.Singh was asked about BJP's charge that he was a weak PM, he said politely 'That is for historians to judge. But if by a strong PM you mean you preside over the massacre of innocent citizens, I do not believe this country needs that kind of strength, least of all in a PM'
There is a cosmic irony in the way that the twenty-first century has played out: the West, hoping its adversaries would become more like it, has inextricably become more like them. @Changxche 's brilliant analysis for the @NewYorker :

Does a feigning body not betray itself in ways that even an accomplished actor cannot contain – a flickering eye, a tense arm? The brilliant @DrSophieSmith in the LRB:

'Recounting the details of the video evidence risks prurience. But precisely because rape culture is so successful at producing excuses for its perpetrators – and because our own imaginations are shaped by patriarchy and the porn it produces – the details become crucial'

The Islamophobia & Xenophobia by the far-right/fascist groups in the UK is appalling. But for every one of those riots & microaggressions, there's protests & microsweetness. Latest chants from yesterday's protest at Oxford:
Say it loud, say it clear: refugees are welcome here!
My brilliant friend Mori Reithmayr narrating their friend's story about fighting back and keeping the fascists in check:
No borders, no nations! Stop deportation!
