This is the face of a Hindutva raj — rooted in the hatred of Muslims, and no longer something the government even bothers to deny. My latest for @AJEnglish.

Dm for the full documentary link.

@life_of_meera @frontline_india And you think all of this isn’t already addressed in the article? At least read the story before commenting.
Who’s paying you to tweet this nonsense though? Very curious.

One of the hidden sides of #AI that Big Tech would prefer no one to talk about...
Far from the billions of dollars in stock market value of tech companies...

Vinod Kumar Shukla, the doyen of letters, is no more. He leaves a legacy in words, and a silent grace that feels almost impossible to imagine these days. At The Polis Project, we are grateful we were able to publish this profile.
