This will be my requote to anyone who calls me for a women's day feature or an 'Indian ' art exhibition. I would add the word curatorial laziness. https://t.co/aK7Ufy71OU

When Westland shut down, we heard about nothing else for weeks.
SAGE India is closing down their very rich academic list which goes back around 30 years and there's not a whiff. Academics make nothing on their books and so we don't notice. But SAGE is special.

Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of the very great Ela Bhatt, founder of the Self-Employed Women’s Association, Magsaysay Awardee, and Gandhian. A rare gem and a hero.

Late night musing: In this week of 75 years of independence, the image of gang rape and murder convicts being garlanded should haunt every right thinking Indian. Or am I just a dreamer? #JusticeForBilkisBano

[Rajdeep Sardesai @sardesairajdeep]

The 11 men who were convicted of gang-raping then 21 year old Bilkis Bano and murdering 7 members of her family are free, their life sentence remitted. If they roam around in the same village as Bilkis, will she ever be able to live a normal life? Is this ‘justice’? #BilkisBano

1/6 India's fight for freedom was a mass struggle involving many ordinary people. For the 75th anniversary of Indian Independence, we have a new book by the legendary @PSainath_org. THE LAST HEROES is about ordinary, everyday people who stood up to and fought against imperialism.

My piece where I break silence and speak of my experience this past year as an Indian journalist in a land whose foundation laid by writer-journalists, Gandhi, Ambedkar, Bhagat Singh… Let's renew our vows for a free and courageous press https://t.co/fWmPV6sqke @deccanherald

1/8. Was Independence the gift of a few Oxbridge elites? As Gandhi put it, not great men, but ‘the people themselves are the cause’ of revolutions. My book The Last Heroes: Footsoldiers of Indian Freedom (Penguin) out in November, looks at 16 such people.

"I only had one home, either here in Sri Lanka or in the world. Now that only home has been burned down.

But my biggest wealth and treasure was my library. There were 2500 books", says #SriLanka PM Ranil Wickremasinghe about his house being burned along with valuable books
