@ShazzShams @Penn @UPennNELC You do mean promoted, don’t you? While writing this text, I faced the very same curse of autocorrect but spotted it in time, luckily. Congratulations on new appointment 🌷

@1NRSmith See this thread. What comes across loud and clear is the challenge and risk of working under oppressive censorship. Xxx

@desondy It’s important however to make sure that every morsel of #meat derived from this ritual is consumed and not wasted or buried in sand, when millions upon millions daily go hungry or are left undernourished even in societies that can afford to perform this annual #tenet of #faith

@tawairkh @thedelhiwalla @DelhiFoodWalks @GuzashtaLakhnau @PDWKB @WonderfulWande5 @DelhiKaravan @zafarabbaszaidi Wondering about the spellings in this HT article. Hazi? Shabrati?

That can be resolved by more info on it, no?

@GuzashtaLakhnau This looks more like Asaf-ud-Daula though...

[Sajid Rizvi @sajidrizvi]

@GuzashtaLakhnau @LotusTile A fine portrait, thanks for sharing. And where is this now, please?

[Sajid Rizvi @sajidrizvi]

Where is this painting now please?

Remarkable. Resounding echo of words I heard from youths as they emerged from US Embassy #Tehran they’d just seized November #1979, reeling off #Iranhostage story, one of many, many, MANY since

@lemondefr One more war, with multiple tragedies in its wake, of which we hear so little.

@IndiaArtHistory @Royal_Mughals @DalrympleWill @hemantsarin @GuzashtaLakhnau @MohdMuzzammilK More likely to hold ingredients for #paan on the go? 0ften with mini silver containers for #choonakatha and a fresh leaf or two for impromptu fix/refreshment.

Interesting! And what is the principal source of #water in periods of scarcity? Is the source constant and if not does it need to be topped up? And what about maintenance and keeping it clean? Thinking of @RomanBathsBath #England

Bathing in heritage!
“A 2000 yr old public bathhouse from the Roman period is still used by locals in the town of Khenchela, Timgad, Algeria.The 2000 yr old city is a World UNESCO heritage site, well preserved &has a modern-day like grid design.” @PropitiousOn3O @TheUrgeToWander

[Sajid Rizvi @sajidrizvi]

These gesturs are welcome, of course. What needs to happen though is a much more substantive change in the lives of very real people, sufferers of daily abuse, neglect or criminal actions that impact on their lives.

[Sajid Rizvi @sajidrizvi]

Loved this, ever so grateful for this gem! Happy to add this to our desperately scant knowledge of India’s Yiddish heritage, while making abysmally slow progress on (!!! different thread!!!) India’s/South Asia’s Armenian heritage although, admittedly, there’s more on the latter

[Oren Kessler @OrenKessler]

@davidhazony The backstory of the translator, Arun Visnawath, is pretty fascinating. Gonna go out on a limb and say his family are the world's only people fluent in Yiddish and Tamil.
