My new tek in @Outlookindia. SWORDS IN THE TIME OF SHOTGUNS More than anything else, the sword is about social status. It is about being a Kshatriya. It is about claiming the Kshatriya impunity. More than cut value, it is about cult value. Read & Share. https://t.co/0IPb0Xlyxl

"It is puzzling that [India's] claim of rising global stature is being made amidst deteriorating relative economic development. How do we make sense of this?"

What is the point of accepting applications and abstracts of students from south asia when you can neither provide them funding (not even partial) nor hybrid mode to join in?!!! Frustrating!!

[LSE Cities @LSECities]

In research with young women, @AtJuliaKing and Olivia Theocharides-Feldman found that benches, as spaces to “hang out”, were essential but also contentious spaces.

A light piece on the social history of ghats.
Thanks @leo_mukherjee for the opportunity!

[TTOpinion @opinion_tt]

Calcutta's ghats have served as sites of social reform, writes Raina Ghosh.

This is such a fantastic piece of reporting! A must-read!

No wonder they fear @newsclickin.

Arundhati Roy was right about 4 Gujaratis now ruling India — 2 are selling and the other 2 are buying!

Five critical schemes (NREGA, MDM, ICDS, NSAP, PMMVY) that help hundreds of millions of children, widows, pregnant women, elderly persons and rural workers don’t even absorb 0.5% of India’s GDP anymore.

Sprawling bazaar of nineteenth century Faizabad, Ayodhya district, bustling with fruit and food vendors, flower sellers, horsemen, hookah smokers, betel nut crackers, sugarcane bundles, turban tiers, and more. A shahrashob (the city of beauty/lament of a city) moment.

"India’s academic freedom index is in the bottom 30% among 179 countries... On a scale of 0 (low) to 1 (high), India scored 0.38... What’s ironic is that this score is lower than India’s bête noire Pakistan’s 0.43."

[Economic & Political Weekly @epw_in]

Post-secular narratives on Kolkata and the Hooghly Riverfront, entailing material politics of making sacred spaces at land-water interfaces, have been seldom discussed in urban planning scholarship.
