“Delhi Police Assaulted Us, But the Assault Intensified After They Asked Our Religion and Learned Our Muslim Names,” Says 4PM Journalist Nafisa Khan.

Prakhar Gupta confirmed, Abhijit Dipke didn't Graduate from the Boston University😭🎙️;

His two friends who studied at Boston University and when they checked Abhijit Dipke's records, they found no record of him there🤣🔥

Look at Sonam Wangchuk's reaction : It seems like he knows something too🙂

A mother cooked for days to welcome her son. Asked him to sleep in another room; the light on his ankle wouldn't stop blinking.

Kashmir's courts are putting GPS ankle monitors on people out on bail. No law allows it.

A man was lynched.
A Muslim man was lynched.
A Muslim man was lynched by BJP.
A Muslim man was lynched by BJP because his CJP Volunteer son answered CJP’s #SchoolThikKaro call and audited a school in West Bengal.

.@shhnbhtr7 and @aparnab2015 recall Sumit Sarkar's "legacy (is of a historian) of extraordinary scholarship, and a teacher who encouraged us to look beyond the obvious archive."

His works remain--
as teachers of history.

Words from James Baldwin, written 62 years ago, still remain the best moral compass towards understanding the whole tragic Jason Arday affair.

Plain sadness that surrounds history this week

[The Indian Express @IndianExpress]

Students pursuing a postgraduate degree in History at Delhi University (DU) no longer have the option of choosing a course on the Delhi Sultanate, which examines how the medieval state was formed, how authority was exercised, and how political, religious and cultural life evolved, records reviewed by The Indian Express show.

Yes because Mehrauli, Hauz Khas etc are just urban villages, Lodi garden is just a Sunday picnic spot. And they all appeared out of nowhere. Delhi sultanate, what?

[Sara Ather @sarah_ather__]

Rest in peace Sumit Sarkar. A tremendous loss indeed. His work taught generations not only how to read history, but how to remain attentive to the political dangers taking shape in the present.

Would highly recommend this essay written by him in the aftermath of Babri. One of my favourite pieces of his writings. Will never not be relevant.

How scared is this government? Eminent scholar Prof. Zoya Hasan has just been prevented from speaking on "Pluralism" at the Independence Day function of Sardar Patel Vidyalaya - by Delhi Police! 1/3

[Jayati Ghosh @Jayati1609]

When informal pressure on the School from official sources to cancel the programme failed, they resorted to this extreme last minute measure. A lecture to schoolchildren on pluralism, by one of our most eminent social scientists, is too much for our current leaders to handle! 3/3

JNU’s application form for event bookings provides just a single line for the organisers to provide an event description. In the form appended, the applicants wrote—entirely accurately, as the event poster confirms— “Public Talk for Adivasi Divas (book discussion)’. The form does not ask for additional details such as list of speakers or the title of the book. Nor was this information sought as a precondition for the granting of permission. Against this backdrop, two facts stand out in the university’s tweet.

First, the mediocre thugs running JNU are so eager to please their leaders that they tag @narendramodi, @AmitShah et al in this ridiculous announcement advertising their mala fide decision to cancel a duly approved event.

In social media etiquette, you tag folks for whom your message is actually intended. So with this tweet JNU’s administrators (and its awful VC) are not trying to burnish their “democratic” credentials with the wider public. They’re simply telling their bosses that they are sorry for having green-lit an event that would have highlighted the scholarship of one of JNU’s most illustrious students—a young man the BJP has demonised for over a decade in pursuit of its pro-corporate, communal and anti-people politics—and that they have now made amends.

Second, the Sanghis at the helm of JNU are so cowardly —like Sanghis everywhere—that they don’t even have the courage to openly admit they canceled this event because it is about Umar Khalid’s book.

@_sabanaqvi's use of "lands in jail" is an interesting choice. As if he had no part in what he did. The use of passive language is sadly telling in the way she chooses to report on events. For someone who works on such important topics, her lack of integrity presents a problem.
