I asked actor Neil Patrick Harris about political art at #Berlinale today. He didn't want to engage and said: "I'm always interested in doing things that are apolitical".
people scared of being caught standing idle or worse in tacit acceptance of power that ravages the most vulnerable in the world are the ones who say things like "courage is privilege". those who are not privileged but are principled simply carry on doing the real work of refusal.
While we watched is the most heart wrenching documentary I have ever watched, never felt so many emotions all at once. Can only imagine what one can go through just for wanting to do their job honestly.
Here, the cauliflower is a reference to the 1989 Bhagalpur pogrom when 100+ dead bodies of Muslims were recovered from the cauliflower fields of Logain. This is being used to celebrate the extrajudicial killings of Maoists & Adivasis.

Performing Hindu rituals by Brahmins at Mahabodhi Mahavihara on Buddha Purnima is a direct insult to the Buddhist community worldwide. It exposes a larger agenda to Brahminise and appropriate Buddhist spaces—an overt form of religious colonization.

I disagree with this Govt. on many issues. But, let me make this absolutely clear: Kashmir is India’s internal issue & there is no room for Pakistan or any other foreign country to interfere in it.
There’s only one regime in the world whose entire policy, including war strategy, is decided by social media narrative which they produce themselves. A government of the trolls, by the trolls and for the trolls.
The country went through this whole thing without seeing or hearing from either the PM or the defence minister. But they’re available to inaugurate stuff. At one time this alone would have been outrageous
A foreign secretary and two mid level officers were left to be the face of it.
In the past month two Nepali students have been found dead in Odisha one by suicide and the other murdered and no action taken against the institute.
Do you really expect them to stand by us?
After the way we have treated their people?
