Fresh on the Internet: My review of Radhika Gupta's "Freedom in Captivity" for the Anthropology Book Forum. It's a fascinating read for anyone interested in South Asia, Ethnography and Himalayan studies.

Looking forward to your thoughts and feedback!

Leh, Kargil, Pahalgam, Udhampur & Kishtwar. J&K's Himalayas have been increasingly made vulnerable to climate induced disasters due to extractive anthro action. Praying for well being of our brethren & hoping for policy change which doesn't talk about mitigation but, prevention.

RCB won the IPL after 18-year wait. Crystal Palace secured a trophy after 120 years. Bologna triumphed after 51 years, and Newcastle achieved victory after 71 years. If this is a year of rewards and new winners, may the defeat of Zionists and the liberation of Palestine be next.

90% of India's population is basically told to appreciate the growth of 10%.

That's our economic model.

Alright tell me a movie that made you stare blankly at a wall for 20 minutes after it finished. One that you couldn’t stop thinking about and made you question everything.

Is Jesus 'buried' in Kashmir? Our article which explores how and why a shrine in Kashmir, the Rozabal shrine, came to be associated with Jesus and the subsequent contestations is now available online.
Let me know if you want a copy.

It's disheartening to see people advocating for the destruction of these beautiful lands. They are mere stooges, paid to promote this narrative, without a single thought for the farmers whose livelihoods depend on these sacred lands. We will fight to safeguard these lands until

Best of the Year Movies Edition:
As your friendly neighbourhood film critic, I wish to honour the year-end tradition. For the record, it was a terrible, terrible year. Big Hollywood ensured the erasure of pro Palestinian voice and Bollywood thumped the same old jingoistic drums.

In case you wish to read more on the Bollywoodisation of Kashmir or the representation of it as a territory of desire sans people, these two texts should be your go-to.
