Devastated by the passing of prof

Twitter/Social Media can't be a cyber grievance redress al system for CBSE and Government of India. Digital India lacks support systems and this has been told time and time to people responsible for it both in Kormangala and Delhi.

Removing employment because he criticised. What kind of democracy?

Rajma chawal after such a hectic day a big thanks to all who supported us from Vedant and Siddhant and we are not Pakistani

[Marya Shakil @maryashakil]

JS-Coordination wrote to Vedant today attaching his correct answer book and confirming that

-The error was real.
-The student was right.

For all those who thought a young 12th class student was a ‘Pakistani’ - Govt of India doesn’t think so. CBSE has accepted the mistake and issued him his answer sheet.

This is India's ‘FREE PRESS’ !

He's an anchor on Doordarshan, a central government TV channel. He's always spewing venom. When a child questioned the flaws in the CBSE exam testing, this national channel anchor @AshokShrivasta6 labeled him a P@kistani child. Imagine the mental trauma the child and his entire family must have suffered!

This is a serious crime. It's online bullying. If it were any other country, he would be in jail for violating child rights. But the @narendramodi government won't take action against this anchor. If they do, we'll let you know.

This is PRESS FREEDOM here… you can FREELY commit any crime while sitting in the government's lap.

Thank you

When you say “gift” , does it mean citizens can travel free of cost ?

Also, when you thank Modi for this gift, was the train built & deployed with his personal funds ?

Define “gift” for us please.

People are mistaken that a falling rupee doesn't affect purchasing power. India imports half its fertilizers + 80% of its oil. It makes plastics from oil. Foreign petrochemicals priced in dollars are the backbone of its economy, food, transport, machinery. Costs are passed on.

We have men that fear touching car battery terminals because they think they could be electrocuted.

Workshop Alert! @_ISHET announces a research writing workshop series for early career scholars of history of economic thought. Facilitated by Madhura Lohokare and me, this intensive hands-on series will discuss how to write that dreaded first draft. Do spread the word and apply!

The least to do is to sack the NTA director.

How much do we spend on education?
Is education oriented towards scientific temper?
Do we appreciate academic freedom?
If not why should we bother about rankings?

Found more exciting work on #caste in anticipation of my forthcoming book on #AI, where I seek an artificial #ethics to accompany artificial intelligence.
New paper: ‘Beyond Categories of Caste: Examining Caste Bias & Morality in Text-to-Image AI Models’:

Did the SIR flip the election? The answer is fundamentally unknowable for the public with secret ballots. Only the ECI and parties can answer.

Take an example. Say a booth had 1000 voters last election. 80% turn out, 800 voted. A 450, B 250, others 200. A won by a margin of 200.

After 32 years in academia I think that mental resilience is far more important than your method or which school of thought you belong to. Another underrated factor is luck because there are so many uncontrollable factors.

[Kanthi Swaroop @kanthiswaroop]

So true. Been there!

not everyone is in your dm’s to hit on you. some of us are in your dm’s to beg you for a pdf of a caravan article. get serious

Greetings for Bhim Jayanti 2026~ Honored that as part of Anti-Caste Awareness Month, I will be speaking at Rutgers University next week. Will be presenting on a forthcoming book, "The Urbanization of Caste Power: Land, Labor, and Environmental Politics in Bengaluru."

Remarkable news. Kudos to @scottrstroud

[Scott R. Stroud @scottrstroud]

I'm excited to announce the establishment of the Bhimrao Ambedkar Prize in Global Pragmatism by @SAAPhilosophy. This is notable because it shows the uptake of Ambedkar as a thinker & philosopher by a broad-focus western academic organization. Press release below, link in comments
