Teaching Fellowships, well paid, at Ashoka University. Pretty transparent application system. And don’t get alarmed, the answer to the “does caste still matter” question is yes — contrary to what many of the incoming students may have been seduced into believing before.

Didn’t think I would have to reopen X after this long for something this pathetic. The recent NTA NET Sociology exam held on 30th June’26 crossed all limits of academic deceit and accountability. Not even getting started on the irregularity of the paper asking AI generated questions, random thinkers and books not even remotely associated with the syllabus provided. This is where the last nail on the coffin was comes. 50% of the paper had terrible spelling errors and grammatically disastrous sentence formation. Thinkers like ‘Ritzer’ was replaced as ‘Putzer’, ‘social’ was given as ‘oval’, ‘Parsons’ as ‘Parsow’, ‘Ghurye’ as ‘Ghunye’, A R Desai as ‘A K Desai’, ‘Nussbaum’ as ‘Nusbaut’ and many more. The Hindi translation of the questions were framed as if translated by a 5 year old. Students could not even understand the questions, let alone attempt them. Half the time went in literally making sense of what nonsense was scribbled in the name of a paper like NET which is literally supposed to make you eligible for Asst Prof/PhD admissions. Is this some joke? Call the profs who framed this paper to sit and attempt. @NTA_Exams how low are you guys willing to go to make Indian Higher Education drown? We cannot at any cost accept this paper. @EduMinOfIndia @ugc_india

You have a land registry document attesting to your ownership of land

Land records are digitised in your state

Your land vanishes from the record

This is what has happened to Adivasi farmers in MP

Terrible news from Exeter. The axe is swinging all over the UK for the humanities and social sciences. If we lose these subjects then we will sever a vital link that passes our cultural and social heritage down to the next generation. https://t.co/1Uz4DC5Uo0

Not sure how long they can resist the sweeping currents of pseudoscience being promoted from the very top, but glad to see Calicut University taking this stance and standing up for science.

Earlier this year, I had the immense pleasure of spending a day at Dr. CS Lakshmi’s one-of-a-kind women’s archive SPARROW, where remarkable stories are being carefully preserved by equally remarkable people.

Here are some notes from the field:

Breathtaking amount of pseudo-scientific nonsense being funded at the IITs.

This is supposed to be the biggest achievement of the Modi govt and a showpiece exploit of the Hindutva ideology. And it does tell us something about the ideology and its custodians.

Activist who imported oxygen concentrators to save lives during COVID gets Customs notice.

When the government didn't rise to the occasion, citizens did. Now, they will be punished for it???

Ridiculous

🚨SCOOP🚨

Remember the 'Dancing Girl' from your history textbooks? Arms akimbo, bangles & necklace, she is the defining face of Indus Valley Civilisation.

But kids opening textbooks today will see a diff image.

NCERT's new Class 9 Arts textbook shades over her nude torso, which had appeared uncovered in book for at least 25 yrs, including under previous NDA govts.

Just over a year ago, NCERT tried to drop her from a Class 6 Social Science book over nudity concerns. An expert pushed back. Now, it appears to have found another way.
