Shruti Tharayil documents the revival of an Ezhava tradition in her home — the cooking of pork curry on the eve of Vishu — one that was nearly wiped out in the process of Sanskritisation, the struggle to be free of caste. https://t.co/gNbmI65x6H

Five years ago, Ganesh Birua was the first on his village in Odissa to hop online. He couldn't find the script of his mother tongue, the Adivasi language Ho, anywhere. So he made it his mission to bring his language into the digital age.

A thread: Today is the #InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay. On 27 January 1945, the Auschwitz concentration camp was liberated by the Red Army. But did you know the effects of the Holocaust reached areas of the Global South as well?

[Academic-ish @academicish]

History isn't stuck in stone - remembering is always relevant today for today's sake - from classifying a them vs. us to normalizing brutal discrimination as something to turn a blind eye to, there is a lot we can identify from the 'past' in our country at this very second. (9/9)
