Prof Sumit Sarkar never taught me. He had left DU much before my time. I got opportunities to interact with him during my PhD in Gottingen. He always welcomed new ideas. His writings, particularly The Decline of Subaltern Studies, has been crucial for my own work.

A day after Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) cancelled permission to hold an auditorium discussion on a book by former student Umar Khalid, the students’ union went ahead with the plan and held the talk outdoors on Monday. Despite the rain, students turned out in large numbers for the event held from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. outside the School of Social Sciences.

[The Migration Story @TMigrationStory]

How and where does one locate a homeland? Does it exist on maps or in our imaginations? How are our identities shaped by history, memory, migration, and the borders we inherit? Can the lines drawn on a map ever truly define where we belong?

@GhoshAmitav's The Shadow Lines, a seminal postcolonial text, dwells on these questions and discusses belonging and identity against the backdrop of historical events like the Second World War, the Partition of 1947, and the communal riots of 1963-64 in Calcutta and East Pakistan.

More than three decades after its first publication, the novel continues to resonate with readers across generations, offering a powerful insight into the borders that shape our lives.
As Ghosh celebrates his 70th birthday this month, @zainabbqazi in conversation with Amrita Bhalla, an academician, author and literary critic, to unpacks and discusses the moving themes of the novel like migration, memory, identity, and nationalism.

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

Wildfires raging across Europe and Canada. Heat domes baking the US. Temperatures reaching 50°C in Tunisia. Extreme heat across the globe is being exacerbated by the continued burning of fossil fuels and authoritarian tactics that attack climate science, restrict protest and spread climate disinformation.

Heatwaves can kill directly, and they also fuel wildfires, worsen air pollution, dry out land and disrupt rainfall patterns. This deepens drought in some places and makes floods more dangerous elsewhere.

Governments must act now to protect people from the dire and worsening effects of the climate crisis. Big fossil fuel polluters must be held accountable and pay for their role in causing extreme heat and other climate harms.
