Journo friends in Delhi, a bunch of courageous Goans are headed to Delhi to protest against the monstrous real estate project by the Lodhas in a small Goan village of Karapur. Their struggle captures in a nutshell everything that is wrong in Goa. Please go and talk to them.

"Popular fiction in Urdu is often read and dismissed as pulpy low-brow in Urdu literary histories, and the ways in which it was articulating its own visions of anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist solidarities in popular idiom has been entirely forgotten." https://t.co/Cnw85EhZAS

पुस्तक समीक्षा: महमूद फ़ारूक़ी की ‘दास्तान-ए-गुरुदत्त’ में गुरुदत्त के द्वंद्व को समझने की कोशिश है. दास्तानगो मानो अपने रोल मॉडल के जीवन के कतरनें बटोरकर उससे बनी एक तस्वीर लोगों के सामने पेश करने की कवायद कर रहा है.

Ignore the rather blah podcaster—focus on what Najaf Haider has to say about medieval and early modern history. As they’d put it today, Najaf is an entire vibe. I’ve never had a teacher who could lecture for hours and still keep you completely hooked.

Much has been said about propaganda in Dhurandhar. Here's a piece on what Dhurandhar's sampling of old songs—from "Na toh karavaan ki talaash hai", "Rambha Ho", to Nusrat's “Dil Pe Zakhm Khate Hain”—does to sonic memory.

After all, "without music, violence is just… violence."

Haters have a hard time processing the average NYC Muslim millennial: a sincere believer who holds liberal-to-left political commitments, has fluctuating levels of religious practice, and values the social bonds that Islam offers. Zohran is normal about his faith. You can be too!

Ashoka didn’t stand up for @Mahmudabad , now Azim Premji Uni files complaint against students rather than ABVP vandals. What’s wrong with these spineless Uni s & their founders? Ivy League alums now cowering under fascist diktats- hide your faces, cowards!

‘The Great Shamsuddin Family’ movie review: Fuelled by an endearing ensemble, writer-director Anusha Rizvi returns with a refreshingly unpretentious portrait of a modern Muslim family grappling with generational gaps and social tensions.

We go on about anti Indian racism online (as we must) but how many of us Indians even know what Dr. Suri has been put through by ICE?

This is real and material anti Indian racism in the US but because of his religion and his wife’s nationality we don’t care.

Open Access | Seeing the Sangh is the world’s first comprehensive map of the organisational affiliates surrounding the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh—which together constitute the largest far-right network in the world.

This interactive dataset, which currently includes comprehensive qualitative and quantitative data on over two thousand and five hundred organisations, is stored at a repository housed at the Science Po’s Centre for International Studies (CERI), and has been fact-checked and published by The Caravan.

The 25 deaths in Arpora were not just an accident; they were sacrifices at the altar of Goa’s "vibe." I write how this expensive fantasy is built on the displacement of locals and the exploitation of invisible migrant labour. | https://t.co/Xtz05oZhOT

Madhya Pradesh : A Muslim man was lynched to death for carrying a bull he bought from the cattle fair with receipts of the purchases.
Except for two News Papers ( The Hindu and Indian Express), No National media has covered this.
News Channels have normalised the hate crimes against minorities.

A Muslim man Aasif Babu Multani was allegedly lynched to death by Cow Vigilante group in Rajasthan’s Bhilwara for carrying a cattle.

The incident took place when Aasif Babu Multani and his cousin Mohsin, residents of Mandsaur’s Multanpur, were returning after buying cattle for their agricultural and dairy needs from a cattle mart in Bhilwara’s Lambia Raila.
