As Pakistan polls tomorrow, Usman & I write for @ForeignPolicy in which we argue that the Military is still pulling the strings in Pakistan’s Elections. Also, with opposition leader Imran Khan behind bars, the Feb. 8 vote offers little hope for near-term stability.

@zubairk70897934 Dr. Zubair Khalid’s persistent efforts to document the religious, cultural, architectural, and material heritage associated with Kashmir’s rich Sufi traditions have finally seen the light of day. The publication is highly recommended..

maybe i am delirious after 30 days of fasting, but i am sitting in my room sobbing about how the land gives back to the people who love it and nurture it, how it reassures them of their oneness, how it cradles them after years of suffering with them. I AM SOBBING AT THIS.
Glad to share that my chapter on how a 15th.c Kashmiri saint-poet Nuruddin's poetry led to a transfer of soil-knowledge into Persian texts, is finally out!
Wouldn't've been possible without Justin and Shopov. Grateful to the entire editorial team.

@Muneeb_soanth and I write for @Himalistan that India and China's engagement in #Afghanistan is becoming a geopolitical competition for influence and regional primacy, forcing New Delhi to calibrate its Afghan policy.

I am seeking contributions for a volume on Kashmir's Sufi heritage, with a special focus on Kulgam. This will be a companion volume to the in-progress 'Kashmir's Sufi Heritage: Documenting Shrines, Sites and Heritage in Kulgam', to be published with the Sheikh-ul-Alam Centre 1/1
✨Here it is!✨
Thrilled to share the cover of my upcoming book Sheher Mein Gaon (Penguin Random House), out this September!
This has been both a deeply personal and intellectual journey—tracing Delhi’s urban villages where the past collides with the present, and memory meets reinvention.
Can’t wait to share it these stories with you!
Proofs have now arrived for my chapter on Nuruddin's poetry in Dohoney and Shopov ed.s, Towards a Global History of Soil: Sciences, Practices, and Materialities, 1300–1750, published by Brill. Will share the link once published, hopefully soon.
I write 4 @TheIndiaForum "more than inflicting harm on the adversary, defence and strategy essentially entail and are thus meant preferentially to protect one’s own citizens. A war, in contrast, implies putting them in harm’s way"
